    Vindi - You are AWESOME with those, I can't wait!!

    The proof that these attacks on the election are believed is in the results of GOP primaries. The overwhelming number of winners between candidates who stand for the sale GOP principles otherwise, are those who spread the stolen election view. Either that or the voters for these winning candidates don’t believe it and just want candidates who will subvert elections win by Democrats. Another proof is right here after garbage like 2000 miles comes out or the posting after the election.

    Lol... yeah, because from day one it's been Russia, Russia, Russia BS all the way back from before he won the Pub nomination... And guess what? Durham has already proven that to be BS... and don't try and tell us we didn't see the freaking election get stolen right before our eyes...

    The OP is sadly mistaken. The rip was real.... we all saw it live on TV.

    Most of you including Vindibudd live in Fantasy Land. The republican party is now the America First Republican Party. He is the face of said party. MAGA is a people movement, and he is the face of that too. Without we the people supporting him, he would not be in politics.

    Trump is going to run again. Not announced, he has a 4-point generic ballot lead over Biden which actually means he leads by 10 points which make up for oversampling of democrats and skewed poll questions.

    Trump has a kickass plan to clean out the Deep State. When he gets 47 to go along with 45, he's 100% going to do it.

    The only way anyone not named Trump wins the nomination in 24 is because Trump will have decided to endorse the next president rather than be the next president. Whomever that person is will have to use Trump's plan to clean out the Deep State. I'm okay with DeSantis, but I don't see anyone else the republicans would lineup behind.

    Vinibudd, you are the small minority of the America First Republican Party. If a never Trumper, you are going to be on the wrong side of history in 24. I hope you have better sense than to vote D, but I'm not sure that is the case.

    You may as well be a child riding your hobby horse. You live in Fantasy Land. Hope this clears this up even though you are well familiar with your hobby horse.

    Republicans are in a really tough spot. The only thing that unites them is they hate liberal social progressivism. It keeps the have-nots tied to the message of the haves in the party.

    Trump did not run a conservative administration in my opinion. It wasn’t small government nor fiscally responsible. It never attempted to reduce government intrusion in your life. It only existed as a loud and violent reaction to social progressivism. That’s still the message.

    he was/ is a populist. He tapped into the anger many felt in being left behind economically, socially, regionally etc. and were looking for people to blame.
    It is why they are so loyal, I despise the man, but he not only stands up for their causes, he doesn’t compromise in doing do and will fight hard for them. That’s why they continue to support him despite the crazy, criminal, beyond self indulgent behavior. He is the one person truly hearing them and fighting for them. Even if you or I disagree with what they are fighting for.
    And why the Dems need an actual message that speaks to them, because that’s the only way to peel them off.

    I hear you. I’d submit the democrats actually have a better policy for the republican “have nots” than the republicans. It’s just not louder than the cultural war bubbling underneath. I really believe that. Not sure how to overcome that divide.

    What's more important to you, the Constitution or Donald Trump being president as opposed to a non-insane Republican like DeSantis or Youngkin?

    I am a real conservative. I am not a Never Trumper. I am a Never Progressiver. Trump is not a conservative and never has been. He made excellent policy against all odds but the reality is that he is dangerously undisciplined and he says things that are wildly irresponsible and you don't have to be a communist looking to trans all the pre-schoolers to see it.

    What we have with Trump is an Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend situation. It becomes more untenable with every Chernorangesicle meltdown he engages in.

    You are too funny for words. The dems have been trampling the constitution for 6 1/2 years against Trump and you take their side. Unbelievable!

    I don't give a shit what Trump say, I ignored the comment about the election that you couldn't, I only care about what he does. For 3 years, Trump kept everyone on their toes, The irresponsibility you are talking about, kept the US out of war, ended the restraint on the military to kill off the Muslim Caliphate, produced terrific economic numbers with inflation never going above 2.8% and reduced taxes, sealed the southern border with the wall and Title 20 Remain in Mexico, rewrote NAFTA into a much better USMCA along with signing many one-on-one trade agreements, and had employment at its lowest levels in many decades. If I've missed anything other than you can do without his mouth and tweets, let me know.

    Minus the China Virus, Trump had quite the run of success. He even delivered the now questionable vaccines that Biden took credit for on his watch, you know the vaccines everybody said couldn't be developed in time to help.

    The biggest thing to me is he brought China, our biggest enemy, to the forefront when everyone was bitching about Russia, Russia, Russia. Russia is a nothing burger with dangerous nuclear weapons. Heck, they can't even beat Ukraine.

    Two points here…
    I voted for trump three times.
    I identify with Vindibud as a conservative who won’t vote for troubled trump again. And I will never vote for a dem/libbie.
    Take it for what it’s worth. I’m just one guy.
