People who thrive on attention should be ignored. People who can’t win the popular vote shouldn’t attack those who can. People who are almost eighty should retire from public life. And people who can’t potentially serve eight consecutive years as President shouldn’t run for the presidency.
If President Trump TRULY wants attention, this would do it:
[First thing, my wife said he needs to apologize!]
President Trump, if you REALLY ARE a leader, call Governor DeSantis, Governor Kemp, and Governor Youngkin, and all 4 of you organize and appear on stage WITH Herschel Walker, and pledge your support to get him elected. It would be a MAGNANIMOUS initiative on your part, and would do MUCH to raise good will for you. SURPRISE some folks! IF you are truly a leader, get it done!
However, I will mark this page and come back to it if this author in the future buys into the DDS that will undoubtedly happen as the establishment attacks the next Republican that would be president.
At some point you have to dig a bit deeper to understand that your opinions are being manipulated by the cabal no different than those outside of the political media chattering class.
Is Trump really that bad... or has the repeated claims by the dirty Democrats and dishonest left-biased MSM just done an effective negative branding implant in your brain? And if the latter, then why can't it be done the same for every candidate in opposition to the Democrat cabal? And conversely, why would they not be able to positive brand a pile of crap and inject that into your head to be elected?
You may have to go back to figure this out. My husband and I were split between Cruz and Rubio in the primary season. Neither of us were Trump fans and decided that we could support Cruz/Rubio. But we were dismayed at how the press seemed insistent on propping up Trump to the exclusion of the other candidates. When he became the candidate we were sure that the press was cheering, knowing that Hilary was sure to win.
Then she didn't. So the press continued (and continues to this day) to both vilify and prop up Trump. It seems like they played the long game and our side was oblivious. What are your thoughts?
"People who have never won the popular vote shouldn’t lecture those who have, particularly those who grew their share of it the second time around."
Like Trump blasting Desantis for "closing down" FL after blasting Kemp for opening up too soon? Both of them won their reelection by significantly larger margins this time around.
I don't wish personal ill on Trump, but I would not mind at all if something prevented him from running again.
All any Republican president would need to do to save the country would be to undo everything Biden has done. Every Executive Order Biden has issued can be undone by a new President.
Trump is a lighting rod that we don't need anymore! We need real ADULT leadership that we can get behind! I'm in the camp that Trump should take a back seat and stay out of the limelight! We know his policies work and there are very capable Republicans who could do that job without the childlike antics! I agree totally with Erick on this!
I sent out Trump's juvenile and mean posts from his TruthSocial to my friends last night--where he is going off on DeSantis. I have had some of my pro-Trump friends reply that they are done with Mr. T. I am hopeful that him trying to trash the most successful Republican candidate from Tues evening will do Trump in. He and his act are past it's expiration date.
Not sure how anyone can say anything at this point. 52% of Americans voted Republican in house races. Seats flipped in NY. With the pickup in 2020 and the pickup of seats this cycle, Republicans will take over the House and still have a decent shot at the Senate. Seems everyone looking to move on from Trump are the same people that aren’t addressing our border crisis, fund ongoing war, and I guess are okay with killing the lifeblood of our economy, fossil fuel. It’s the same group that negotiated our way to 31 Trillion in debt. McCarthy and McConnell need to go. Start with new Congressional leadership that will stand and fight the crazy Dems and maybe in ‘24 when the Dems really have to play defense in the Senate, Republicans will get their wave. So, people need to hold their powder…
Dump Trump. The Walker debacle is sufficient reason. If the GOP put up an actual candidate instead of a football hero, we wouldn’t still be inundated with political ads.
You might want to move on, but Daddy Donny isn't going to and I suspect you'll latch right back on in due time. This is the deal you made when the GOP sold its soul to this loser. Hope it was worth it.
This election has shown that all the pundits really do not know what is going on in US politics. The Republican Party needs to get its act together or it will continue to lose against the Democrats. There are a number of qualified candidates for president there, the question is whether they will really do something as president or continue like many of the Republican presidents we have had in the past.
Trump was good because he did things that helped the people of the US. Chief in these was a great economy before the pandemic due to his tax cuts and policies. Biden managed to tank Trump’s energy independence policy and his border work immediately after taking office. Biden’s energy policy caused a lot of the current inflation because in our economy everything runs on energy (mainly oil) and supply chains had changed requiring more energy because of Amazon and all the deliveries directly to the customer. Biden and his party also really hurt small business (leave the Walmarts and liquor stores open but screw small business. Biden and the Democrats were not held accountable for this and for the school fiasco.
We need a populist Republican to run for president in 2024. Without that the party is toast. We do not need more Romneys, Bushes, and Cheneys.
I like your thoughts and if Trump is really a leader, he will work behind the scenes to strengthen the Republican party, raise funds, and stay in Florida. I believe 85% of non-Democrats have moved on past Trump and are looking for a competent individual that can manage and govern with results, keep a strong focus, and not blow up the airways and internet for their own self gratification.
Trump may also be the reason the Republicans lose the Senate this year. Depending on what happens in Nevada and Arizona, we may be looking at the Senate majority depending on Walker winning. I’m a traditional Libertarian who has never voted for a Republican governor, president, etc until 2018 with Brian Kemp (I had voted R in some local elections). I had watched the leftward lurch of the Dems since the late 80s and finally decided I couldn’t leave my protest vote out there. I liked many of Trump’s policies and hate what happened with “Russiagate,” but it’s time to move on from Trump. I always felt that Obama was being held back from going fully left because it would have been too radical of a change at once and the Dems would have been wiped out in the next election. Kind of like the frog in the pot scenario. Now, we can see that they will accelerate their vision given the chance after Trump’s presidency. It is time for someone like a DeSantis, who can be Trump like in policy but also able to maneuver the media and political adversaries much more elegantly.
Well put. A lot of conservatives felt the same on Jan. 6, 2021. That lasted until about Jan 8. Will it be any different this time? What's it going to take?
The only thing Trump cares about is Trump. He's not a Republican, he's not a conservative. He is a Trumpist.
We do have an alternative this time. The Governor of Florida has shown how it's done. We need to get behind him, the more candidates who run for the GOP nomination, the more chance The Stable Genius will get it again.

"Who's your favorite President?"
Just wow. Trump has so much to loose and we all loose with him.
Does he still call you for advice?
Clearly DeSantis is the favorite now.

Generally agree but at an advanced age, if you still have your wits about you no reason to retire from public life.

I agree absolutely. It has to be DeSantis.
