for his supporters to face an emboldened extremist Democratic Party now controlling the House, Senate, and Presidency. What a freaking disaster, if this is his actual legacy.

I don't care what people think of Trump personally the man, but you don't campaign on "Draining the Swamp" for four years, claim the election was illegitimate and stolen, then burn down the party that got you elected, and then just nope the hell out on your billionaire private jet to one of your luxury golf courses while leaving the American people to face a communist-styled political pogrom already in process.

Trump's legacy is amazing, and can't be undone by anything that happens from now on.

Trump exposed the shite out of the Deep State.
Trump exposed DC's game of stealing taxpayer money through foreign aid kickbacks.
Trump finished exposing the media, lol.

People cannot unsee these things, no matter how much DC pretends it didn't happen.

i honestly think he would still be President if he would've never attacked black athletes for kneeling. it seems like that sparked all of this shite where every league decided they needed to care about voter register. Trump and Lebron James had a public feud

The danger in nominating a larger-than-life character was exactly this. It had the potential (maybe even the likelihood) of destroying the party. Or more accurately, the party has already destroyed itself since 1996 and this is exposing it to us.

It's not what he should do now, it's what should have been done in the past or, more precisely, what should not have done prior to this point if he never had an end-game or if he wasn't willing to have the courage of his convictions. The claims he and his surrogates put forward concerning election fraud go to the very heart of our democracy and the legitimacy of our election system. They are the gravest and most serious charges one can make. You can't just make the claim that a foreign government and ideological enemy conspired about with your political opponents to rig an election and then just be like.. "Oh, well, gee guys... Yea, they cheated, but they got us. Nothing we can do. Better luck next time, except I won't be here. I'm out! C Ya!"

A quick look at TV ratings for the pro sports do ALL prove you wrong.

Translated: “I’m a coward, I love that he exposed these corrupt political actors but am now blaming him because they’ve shifted their target from him to us”

Too bad it was predictable and everyone but you understood it was bound to happen. If you’re not ready to stand up to these people please go stand with them.

That’s on the Republican Party. Unfortunately, the GOP all hitched their wagons to the Trump train when they saw it had become politically convenient, thus as Trump went, so went the GOP. It’s the Republican Party’s own fault for enabling him for 4 years. The 2020 vote was a referendum against Trump and the GOP made the political mistake of being attached at the hip. Now that it’s no longer convenient, they are trying to distance themselves, but it’s too late.

Don’t use “us” in your OP. You’re either a sellout or were a Hillary soyboy from the start. My guess is the latter

Trump won this election by a country mile. This isn't even a debate. Trump is right about that much. The GOP wasn't attached to him at the hip. If Establishment RINO's were, they would have back him up concerning the fraud. The issue here is that while Trump's claims are almost undoubtedly true, he is left the American people holding the bag and turning the government over to what he claims to be an illegitimate regime in Biden. You can't pose a problem of that magnitude and just leave the American people holding the bag. Trump should never voluntarily leave office if in fact he does believe that a foreign power overthrew our democracy, which is what he claimed. For him to basically concede legitimizes those actions.

I think what he is saying is that if there was/is no great reveal that fixes this mess, and he knows and has known this for weeks, that it would be (insert adjective here) to not have leveled with his supporters instead of having them continue on believing that justice is around the corner. Because many people are putting themselves out there and exposing themselves more and more to the vindictive nature of those who would target them based on conjecture that he has not refuted. He is saying that if Trump knows/has known this to be the case...he should have told his supporters to stand down and live to fight another day.

Huge mistake by not draining the swamp by the Great Orange President, I agree.

But what a great President the savage Orange man was even though the commies fought him and his family for four years.


No GFY commie!
