The point of running a virtual campaign against President Trump for the 2020 Republican nomination is to focus on issues currently being badly neglected.

The campaign won’t waste time taking shots at Trump, other than to draw sober contrasts with him where necessary for clarity. And, since I’m not actually on any ballot, it won’t waste time touting my own horn as virtual candidate, other than to note that my Madison-Reagan-Kemp conservative bona fides go back more than 40 years. And this Gulf South-based campaign is definitely not emerging from the D.C. “swamp,” figuratively or literally.
