Of course! But that's not an argument of merit. Let's imagine LSU had to rehire any former coach since 1990. If they rehired Brian Kelly. Would you say "great hire! at least the didn't hire Curley Hallman!"? You wouldn't think "shoulda hired Nick Saban"?

This, all of this. The Democratic options Kamala, Walz, Newsome, etc. should make all of us extremely happy that we have Trump.
Not when you have options like Rubio and Desantis.

This isn’t really a fair criticism of Trump. This is a concern of mine as well, but it’s not Trump’s fault the nut less wonders in DC openly mock the will of the people they pretend to represent.

You shills are out in droves since the speech....
It's fun watching you try to ward off what you know is still coming....Trump is far from done.
Oh, and your wife's boyfriend has your cuck chair waiting, get in there....

He’s already lost so much mental capacity at this point, his ego will make him attempt a third term. The age limit for presidents needs to be 65.

No. I always vote against the lesser of two evils.

There is never going to be an ideal candidate.

I am basically voting for speed bumps to slow down the destruction.

Democrats are never the answer. Republicans may or may not be the answer.

Sure, in some areas. I guess I expected him to win em all. His problem is trust. He trusts morons sometimes. It does expose who they are though

The Donald does love an arse-kisser and that's a big ole Achille's heel in DC.

Maybe 50 years ago.

People now can stay healthy well into their 70s, and I'm talking about average people.

People just need to do two things to solve this:

1. Be willing to vote out incumbants
2. Get off the couch and vote in primaries

No, because you’d have to be an idiot to not know he is over the top and full of shiite on a lot of things.

If you “feel conned” by a guy whose first campaign slogan was “Mexico will pay for the wall” I can’t help you.

In spite of all of that, it was easy to call balls and strikes with Trump. And in the first term, he threw a lot more strikes than he did balls. The first term was always 3 steps forward; 2 steps back.

But this term is completely different and is more 2 steps forward; 3 steps back. The Iranian issue, the economy, and the awful optics of Trump and family profiting off the presidency are just hard to watch.

Not a single cell in my body feels conned. I sat through Obama and Biden.

Zero chance you voted for him.

Yes, the future of the USA would be in much better hands if Kamala Harris were POTUS for two terms.

Then AOC. For two terms.

It would be springtime for Harris and the USA. Winter for Vance and Trump.

There is iron in your word of death for all Comanche to see. And so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron, it must come from men.

The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death.
