DeSantis is out. He has thrown his support behind Donald Trump. Nikki Haley will attempt a Hail Mary in New Hampshire. I will have more to say on DeSantis’s campaign later, but the beginning and end is ultimately this — most Republican voters did not want a Trump-like candidate. They want Trump.
Below is a chart of my paid subscribers falling off over the last 30 days. People are upset with me for not cheerleading Trump, DeSantis, or whoever their favorite person is
Eric, you can restart a suspended campaign right? Maybe as we get closer the reality of Trump that some the star shine might wear off. I mean say he wins by a small margin. Then what? The Pen comes out the border gets closed which many Dems want now finally but then the Dems refuse to play and even if we get a majority Trumps many R enemies side with D’s and we get another 4 yrs of little to nothing being done and Trump raging about betrayals and creating more problems.
Not sure why DeSantis and others decided to throw in the towel right after Iowa... Why not stay in until March 5... that's Super Tuesday.. before you decide to quit?
If Trump gets to be the GOP nominee, we're doomed. We're going to lose in November. We'll be stuck with four more years of Biden with Obama/Jill pulling the strings behind the throne.
The best Fake News Begins with Deep Fakes. Moving on to the Trump vs Brandon race, another sign that the fake news is all in for Brandon.
Today Fox carried a story about how Guatemala is stopping thousands of illegals crossing from Honduras (but admitting they let some thru).
There is no proof that thousands massed but were stopped. Guatemala says they allowed some illegals but won’t say how many that was.
This was all fake crapola, unprovable, fiction and Fox fell for it.
I predict that in about 2 months Team Brandon will start touting “historic” foreign cooperation on stopping illegals. They will point to today’s story that Guatemala stopped thousands of Hondurans, on their way to the USA.
Don’t be surprised when the president of Mexico pens an Op-ed, and even posts some spot messages proclaiming they will never work with Trump.
Even though I don’t agree with all the childish antics and name-calling that Trump does, plus the fact that he is the epitome of a narcissist, I still think he has done more for our country. In the four years he was there. We are almost athird world country now because of the liberals, and we have Republicans who have no spine as well. All of the lawsuits against Trump are politically motivated, and I believe the people are sick of that as I am. I agree he is not perfect. We don’t really know who is running the democratic party because our president certainly does not have the mental capabilities to do that. I believe there should be term limits for Congress and the Senate and perhaps our president as well. It is time that we became Americans first before we decide to be a Republican or a democrat and vote for the best man for our country because God knows we need a man with backbone and mental clarity.
Yup. It will be Trump vs Biden and other than the mail in ballot fraud the election will again come down to the actions of the previous party-traitorous, tantrum-prone, establishment McCain types.
Folks like Kirk and Loomer care more about the grift that pays them than unifying the party.
If Trump somehow wins, he is the perfect motivator to energize the left to take both houses of Congress. And Trump will probably help them by attacking Republicans and not being able to handle himself in a dignified fashion.
In 2016 I voted for Trump because of his promise to appoint a conservative to the Supreme Court. And, Hillary was too awful to contemplate helping by not voting Republican. Trump kept his promise and eventually gave us 3 Supreme Court justices. It seems to me that Trump is a far better choice than Biden despite his shortcomings. Republicans that stay home are casting a 1/2 vote for Biden.
To be fair, Trump struck gold with *three* SCOTUS picks. I'm not sure that's ever happened to a one-term president, or any president! He also chose justices any Republican would have picked. Don't get me wrong; I'm grateful to Trump for his nominations. They were the best move he made as president.
My experience with Trump supporters has been consistent since 2016, Loyalty or else. When you push the, "or else..." button, they puff up, and threaten the Republic with Democratic Armageddon. It's fanatical, and blatantly two dimensional, in my opinion.
Your balanced approach is one I have been paying attention to. I subscribe to the idea that we're all going to have to make sacrifices for self governance.
That said, I'm having a difficult time setting this on God's altar right now. Which is precisely where it should be for my own well being, if nothing else
Every election since I started voting in 2000 has been the most important election of our lifetime. "Vote Republican or else..." When I look back over the last 24 years, many of the most detrimental changes in our country were brought on by Republicans or at least enabled by them. I'm not buying the binary, apocalyptic choice any longer.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is Trump's confusion between Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi regarding January 6. Trump is leaps and bounds more cognitively aware than Biden, but this isn't as simple as getting someone's name wrong.
Age-normal memory decline or beginnings of mild cognitive impairment for one , versus probable moderate dementia for the other. Neither are appropriate for the leader of the free world.
I agree. The problem is that Biden went downhill fast. I saw the same recently with my grandmother. With respect to and love for the octagenarians, we need to stop electing them to lead the free world.
Maybe you missed this for “the owner”

Haha, sounds like you like to try making up nonsense… a lot of that going around.

I'm disappointed in DeSantis. he quit too soon.
Guess I will be voting against the dems in November.

The election is establishment vs anti-establishment. Haley is establishment. She is Biden in 5 inch heels only younger.

Trump was not my first choice in 2016. Still not my choice because of his ego. He needs a Road to Damascus moment to set him on the right path.
It's far too late for that. People have had Trump defined in their minds for many years now.
Hate it.

Bullseye, Erick.

Republican voters did not want a Trump-like candidate. They want Trump.
I saw the difference, a flighter who spoke clearly and did not need to own the left, he just their stupid shine through.
He has the ability to bring people together.
Trump is an ego driven megalomaniac who demands loyalty and will hurt himself and the party when he doesn't get it.
