Sarah Sanders confirms Trump endorsement on Fox & Friends

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) appeared Monday on Fox&Friends to discuss her recent endorsement of former President Donald Trump at a rally that competed with the third GOP presidential debate.

Sanders, who had been Trump's longest-serving press secretary, said that Joe Biden's presidency had been a "complete and total failure" while Trump's had been a "complete and total success."

“Look, I think that the contrast between what is shaping up to be a rematch between Donald Trump and Joe Biden could not be more clear,” Sanders said when asked why she decided to endorse Trump. “If you want to break it down very simply, the Trump — the Trump presidency was a complete and total success, and everything we’ve seen so far from Joe Biden has been a complete and total failure. If we want open borders, America to be weaker at home and abroad if we want out-of-control inflation, Joe Biden’s your guy.”

She said she believed Trump was the right candidate if Americans want to be more "prosperous" and "secure."

"The field is lining up"

“If you want our country to be more secure and more prosperous, then Donald Trump is the person that people should be voting for in 2024," she said. "I’d been governor for a little less than a year really wanted to focus on my time as governor. But now, as we’re getting closer and closer to ’24 and the field is lining up between these two people, I thought it was really important to speak out. And I was glad I had the opportunity to do that alongside President Trump last week.”

While anything can always happen in a race between an 80-year-old man who looks like he's about to fall over most of the time and a 76-year-old facing 91 criminal charges and the loss of his ability to operate his business, both Trump and Biden are far ahead of any challengers in their respective party primaries.

Barring any major changes, 2024 will be a rematch between Trump and Biden taking place in a climate where Biden's excessive spending has driven up inflation and interest rates, his border policies have flooded major cities and border towns with migrants who have almost no accountability, and his empty self-aggrandizing accolades about how great everything is are falling flat.

Most people who were hoping other candidates would make their way to the forefront are giving up, and that may be where Sanders finds herself in her endorsement of Trump.

"Posture of weakness"

In her conversation on Fox News, Sanders poked at Biden's perceived weakness on the world stage as he gets ready to meet with China's Xi Jinping Wednesday ahead of a global summit in San Francisco this weekend.

"I cannot envision that he would finally take a tough stance with this world leader," she said of the meeting. "Frankly, any other we see him go up against or stand with on the world stage, he does it from a posture of weakness."

I think that's one of the reasons that Donald Trump is crushing him in the polls," she said, "is because he's from a posture of weakness. Whether you look at what's happening right now in Israel, Ukraine, the withdrawal from Afghanistan, the total failure to take China on head to head. He has always functioned from a posture of weakness."

Sanders made it clear that she believed voters would reject Biden because of his weakness. Another four years of such policies could see more wars or even one of the existing ones grow into a global conflict that involves the U.S. directly.

"We need somebody with strength"

"And that's not what America is looking for, and it's certainly not what America needs," she said. "We need somebody with strength and I think that is one of the things that's propelled Donald Trump in this race."

There's no doubt that between Biden and Trump, Trump is the stronger candidate. But, are these two really the two strongest candidates we have? That's the bigger question.
