None of them.

But trying to compare Trump with Bernie Sanders because we had deficit spending during his term is a bit of hyperbole don’t you think? If not, I guess we’ve had about 100 years of socialist presidents including a long list of Marxists like Reagan, Nixon, Eisenhower, etc.

Trump had three years prior to 2020, and the deep state controlled him. We've been here before.

The head of the snake is funding. Trump did nothing to fight the "deep state."

our gotcha thread is calling out conservatives for looking to re-elect someone who doesn’t have a clear path to solving inflation or reducing the deficit.



Yep!

It seems you think the Republicans have not been infiltrated by Marxists? The term RINO means something. McConnell, Romney, Buck, Ellzey and many more are just leftists who ran as republicans.

The question is, how far off is the cliff?

There is no cliff. There is simply a descent down an inflationary slope. The US debt will never suffer default. They will just print money to pay it off, as they have been doing.

The gope wanted it too. They want globalism which is the total opposite of our constitution in that it requires us to dilute our sovereignty.

Why not have Trump?

I thought it was clear in my post that I'm absolutely voting Trump in the general, and IMO the vast majority of guys center-right and right that were not Trump supporters in the primary will also. The reason I didn't support Trump in the primary is he's too establishment-friendly and liberal, but in comparison to Biden or any Dem he's not nearly the disaster they are.

I don't think Trump wants to shrink permanent Washington, and if I'm wrong about that - his first term showed him to lack the leadership abilities necessary to get Republicans in congress to do hard things. That's not all on him because we keep sending soft AF Republicans to congress, but it's fair to say he's not the solution. I hope he proves me wrong about this in his second term.

Correct. He will always call out Trump for his shortcomings. He’ll always call out today’s conservatives for lacking fiscal responsibility. (rightfully so)

He’ll never attempt to convince dems to change their vote and he is a faux independent.

Since the dollar has lost a minimum of 18% of its value in three years then in 12 years it will be without value and there is no way to print enough dollars to pay of 33 trillion in debt is there? Are you really a college student? Perhaps a trade school for running a Roto Rooter truck would better serve you.

Oh, absolutely.

Do you folks realize that collective economic populism is the gateway drug to full blown progressivism?

MAGA is the trojan horse.

I fully expect y'all to become the "Socialist Workers Party" before long.

You should understand that it's never going to end well for you, and the way to cut your losses is to shrink your exposure to it.

You're going to go broke waiting for your money to come back to you.

Yep.. And I guess that means Clinton and Johnson are real conservatives.

I stopped at the recession of 2009. when we hit the 10t threshold. Much of the debt came from there and on..

But yes, you can include Bush.

I find it interesting you pose such a thoughtless point. The FBI interfered with his presidency with the Russia Hoax making it impossible for him to remove the most powerful deep state actors though he did remove Comey and the horrendous din outcry that caused was deafening. Wray was Comey's understudy same same. Do you not understand that the reason many politicians seem to toe the same line party irrelevant is the FBI figures out a way to control them? And that the CCP must have a hand in this. I believe that Trump will be JFK'd. They can't afford to have him take power now that he knows them.
