    1. Attack Joe Biden and the media 3-5 times.

    That's as high as he can count.

    2. State GRD’s positive vision 2-3 times.

    Film time: Nazi stock footage.

    3. Hammer Vivek Ramaswamy in a response.

    Remind everyone that he's not just a Fascist; he's also a racist.

    4. Defend Donald Trump in absentia in response to a Chris Christie attack.

    Promote the guy who is leading him by eleventy-billion points.

    That garage should be condemned by the Department of Public Health.

    All of our political leaders are clowns... We need to start all over with new ones.

    It's sad that the only energy conservatives have is hate, and their only happiness in life comes from "owning the left". I can't imagine a life so meaningless that I wake up every day wondering what I can do to upset and torment complete strangers across the country, simply because we disagree on things.

    This is classic leftist!!! Read these threads much? Talk about hate, anything not sucking up to the current administration and any possible criticism is meant with, you're in a cult, you worship the orange god and any other demeaning adjective that the leftist geniuses on this board can come up with to feel better about themselves.
    I have said over and over that we can disagree fervently, but we don't need to be hateful and demeaning to each other. That last for about 2 posts with just a couple of posters. Clean up your own house of hate.

    We do replace our leaders, frequently, but with whom are we supposed to replace them? Don’t love Obama? Here, you can have Trump. Trump turned out bad? Take Biden? Not living Biden, here comes…

    The only sustainable solution is likely to restrict the power of all leaders. As Franklin so keenly observed when forming the US presidency: “The first man put at the helm [referring to Washington] would be a good one. Nobody knows what sort may come afterwards.”

    I think term limits are needed more than ever before. That has to be done...

    This is the culmination of Newt's long term strategy to vilify the opposition, and convince everyone they are "evil". Now you don't actually need to inspire anyone to vote for you.... they're voting against the evil on the other side. Genius!

    Not me. If Christie had any part of DeSantis, I would jump right off that Christie train…

    Of course, DeSantis has already attacked Trump. So how does he explain that to the voters? Another, “just kidding”?

    Or, someone competent comes on the stage and announces loyalty to the Country, not to Party. That would be the place to start.

    I like the idea, but i think they would stand little chance at this point going up against candidates that rouse tribal rage. I would humbly suggest that Justin Amash might fit this bill. He left the Republican Party after he read the Mueller report, and he is constantly explaining and lamenting how powerful the parties have become. I am also liking the message of the Forward Party in this aspect, but it’s hard to see either gaining a lot of traction right now. I would be happy to cast my vote in their directions, however.

    To the extent that Meatball Ron has attacked Trump it's for not being "Trumpy enough" especially on immigration or as some of the other Republican candidates have done it's because Trump could be a weak candidate in a general election. DeSantos is still repeating the mantra that poor Donald is the victim of a weaponized government and unless I missed it he hasn't backed off on his promise to pardon Trump if elected. Although it's obviously had no impact, DeSantis is suggesting that he would be a better version of Trump than the original and if the polls are accurate members of the cult still prefer the real thing to an imitation.
