You know Erick I’d like you to do an article about the many, many things Trump and his administration did that was positive for this country especially what he accomplished with our foreign policy. Most of the good things he did was never lauded by the media and was overlooked, and so many people don’t even know about them. All of the negative in the media and with the Democrats about Trump are not true but because the media writes about it, the general public thinks it is. And now with the planned pile up of lawsuits by the judicial system right before election season and yet people still can’t see the left’s strategy to get rid of Trump. Now is the time, for the true conservatives to backTrump, not dump him. Prove to the Democrats that we aren’t just sheep, that we can see through their thin veneer of evil.

The world is going to hell in a handbasket because of the people that voted in 2020 for a geriatric managerial class puppet that today would not qualify for employment as a Walmart greeter.

The continued legal/judicial attacks against Trump, his campaign people and his supporters are both disgusting in how so called conservatives and those claiming to be against government tyranny celebrate it, and telling in why Trump remains the front-runner in the GOP field.

If never-Trumpers want to understand why the House GOP cannot come together to elect a speaker, then look in the mirror. The Democrats threatening to destroy the finances of people working on the Trump campaign to get them to "confess" is the stuff of a tyrannical banana republic.

Here is a related consideration NOBODY... ABSOLUTELY NOBODY HAS BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE FAKE TRUMP-RUSSIAN COLLUSION HOAX THAT WAS THE DIRTIEST AND MOST CORRUPT ABUSE OF GOVERNMENT POWER FOR POLITICS THAT THE US HAD EVER EXPERIENCED!

Russiagate, the unfair treatement of Jan-6 protestors (like the Canadian Truckers) and these corrupt trials in Georgia... all combined with the rest of the US and world declining in chaos are creating a perfect storm for a justification of retaliatory tyranny that someone like me is going to have a very hard time objecting to.

You're outraged by and focused on past and present injustices. I'm concerned about the future. I voted for Trump twice and will never do so again under any circumstances. He needs people like me, as well as independents, to vote for him -- and we won't. I would vote for DeSantis or Haley in a heartbeat. Do you want to vote your outrage, or do you want to win?!?

I doubt you voted for Trump. Sound more like a Democrat activist paid to write.

The last time I voted for a Democrat was in 1976. I turned pro-life in 1980, voted for Reagan, and have voted Republican ever since. I could speculate that you never voted at all before voting for Trump; there are plenty of Trump voters who were never Republicans OR Democrats. But that's just idle speculation, while the world is sliding toward a precipice. I have no confidence in Trump's erratic style of leadership in these dangerous times. He has no ideological grounding and no message discipline.

I love reading the comments on your posts. It’s the only place where smart people with intelligent solutions and common sense can be found.

We’ve become an unserious people with serious power, and nothing good can come of that.

Things the media may not pass on to you: Just read in Epoch News this morning that the Chinese have 6 warships in the Red Sea. To my knowledge, we only have one ship. We appear to be out-manned and out gunned. don't like the odds.

Would love a Desantis/Haley ticket and I don’t even care which one takes the top spot. I love Trump and always have but the hate towards him is going to ruin us.

Well said, Erick. Keep speaking g truth.

The Democrat's view on the border and antisemitism just makes me think that a good chunk of the donations to the DNC is from foreign entities. Yeah, I know, they are illegal, but an Obama donations handler just got caught 12 years later bringing in, what was it... Chinese donations? Catching these bozos decades later does nothing to prevent the previous 10 years worth of donations. Well, at least the punishment will be so harsh.... I make myself laugh out loud... nevermind.

The House debacle is embarrassing. The dedication to Trump is astounding. But the US is not a player on the world stage at Armageddon, so it has to fall in influence. One day closer to Jesus.

It is really hard to understand why anyone would prefer a discussion of Biden vs Trump and try to rationalize why it's ok because the stats are playable. That gos for supporters of both octogenarians.

It's a ridiculous debate on its face. Let's debate the survivability of jumping off a 10 story building vs having 200 pounds dropped on you from 10 stories.

This really underscores all politics are local, and local in this case means America. The world is on fire because liberals won at the ballot box and implemented their policies.

The Brazilian's have a saying, hot peppers up the butt of someone else doesn't hurt me. If Biden wins the world and the U.S. will continue to decline. If Trump wins the same will occur because he won't be able to effectively govern.

Both men are bad only for different reasons. But hay, your old white guy won so it's not your fault and all that is bad is the other party's fault.

Trump’s economy and world stage was lots better that the present state of affair in which we find ourselves.

You don’t HAVE to like him.

Just implement those policies. No other GOP candidate has the votes. 🗳️

Let’s move onto voting him into office. The negativity toward Trump on this forum makes people think that there is another choice….clearly there is NOT another choice, at this moment.

Nope, sorry, unacceptable.

Winning the primary is not winning the election.

Both these fools will burn down America and the world, it's just a matter of how.

The only difference is Trump will burn down the GOP which will have far longer negative consequences.

The choice of two octogenarian fools who only get 4 more years is not a choice.

Well said. It’s unfortunate, but it’s the truth.

Maybe if large numbers of white, Christian, middle-age men with buzz cuts were sneaking into the United States then buying Chevy Suburbans once they got here there'd be a big hue and cry about it. Those kind of people grill out a lot too, you know, making matters even worse.

Wow. Great point. Thank you.

We are well past the southern boarder being about the Democrats trying to increase their membership. The cries of racism always were gaslighting. The rich, white, erudite, elitist in the Democrat party are the new KKK better dressed, groomed and spoken. They want new blood for their plantation so they went to the market across the border.

The border issue is about national security. It is and has been exploited by our enemies to infiltrate into the U.S. They are not immigrants they are insurgents. They are not coming here to pick crops, they are funded and part of a plan to test, disrupt, and kill.

The Democrats know it but what is bad for America (dystopia) is good for them (liberal utopia). They only care it shows up in polling so their lemmings in the press will give them cover after the fact.

I remember when Trump proposed a ban on immigration from several predominantly Muslim countries which were considered high terrorist threats.

So when we start seeing terror attacks in America, I hope Americans remember the Dems opposed him. More Importantly, I hope they remember it in a little less than 13 months at the ballot box.

They will remember nothing. They will blame the next Republican in office. The Left is tone deaf, blind, and destructive.

Oh the ignominy of it all. I’ve followed you long enough to see when you are extremely frustrated… the sarcasm light burns ever so brightly! Great piece. Too bad it is so true no one will listen.

Time for some reality. For over 40 years conservatives have been told to stfu, hold their noses and vote for the soft left liberal candidate the party has selected for them: Bush I, Dole, McCain, Romney, Bush II, Jeb! Allegedly that’s because any one of them was better than a socialist Democrat. But now when the clear, unchallenged front runner is Trump, the party tells us the rule no longer applies. And here you have Erick who spends several years crapping on the Republican front runner for President. And he’s doing so based in Georgia, a critical but fragile swing state. All Erick has to do is convince a small number of Georgians to sit this one out and lo and behold! You get 4 more years of the geriatric socialist! And to read these comments, he’s convinced nearly everyone of you. Erick, you are the poster child and the official face of the deep establishment soft-left liberal Republican politicians that have fostered this county’s 40 year March to the left. Maybe you should rethink your banter.

The Never Trump needs to stop. It has become irrational. Every other major poll has Trump winning nationally and in every battleground state except one which I suspect will flip by November 2024. As for the problems you mentioned, it was Trump - not Trump policies - that mitigated the challenges. The wall was the first measure of a strong border security policy that got started even though RINOs like Paul Ryan fought him every step of the way. As for the Middle East, two words - Abraham Accords. Again, enough with the Never Trump people. It’s time to get serious. The Republican’s contesting Trump are a joke. They need to drop out. Now. Trump will win north of 80 million votes if the same old same old just stop and do the right thing.
