Plain talk is easily understood. That's another reason I like Trump and voted for him.

I like Trump and voted for him, too, BUT unfortunately there are a large number of Americans who don't like his personality.
Now you and I know that personality shouldn't enter into one's political decisions, but there are many folks in the country who are too shallow to separate the man from his ideas, so let's get someone Trumps likes that can "play nice" with those people.

Maybe election fraud?


As a matter of policy, they are all on the same side of that issue. What they disagree with Trump about is whether fraud happened in November which is a policy question at all.

Immigration the rhinos have failed us over and over.


In the big immigration case faced by the court, Department of Homeland Security v. Regents of the University of California, Roberts joined the liberals for a 5-4 decision against Trump's position. Kavanaugh dissented. Barrett hasn't had a major ruling on an immigration case as best I can recall. What immigration bill pushed by Trump has McConnell killed?

This is not a policy related beef.

Man, you know you can't trust Roberts and that court: they are Mitch's people. You sound like you support Mitch too. Enough said.

Trump is the engine that pulls the train. Without the engine the train doesn't move.

Actually I don't like Trump's speaking style myself. I don't really watch his speeches. I get the highlights afterward. But he did deliver on most of his promises: hell, he stopped wars and ended a lot of Middle East conflicts since before I was born. He was on his way to a huge win and only gross cheating stopped it.

Trusted on what? As I said, all of those folks went pretty much everywhere Trump wanted them to on policy question. They just didn't bend the knee about the election fraud nonsense and that's 100% of y'all's beef with them. It has nothing to do with policy.

As for Mitch, given that I'm a Democrat, and that Mitch has been the single most effective obstacle to enacting the policies that I favor, nothing would make me happier than if y'all take Mitch off of the Board for us.

If you're a dem, then you wouldn't understand our frustration. We gave hardearned money and time to get Trump re-elected. The people afore mentioned and republican statehouse and governors and election reps and ultimately judges stood aside. Some appear to be intimidated and some appear to be on the take.

The idea that Trump’s demeanor was the biggest issue and that the left simply reacted to it is humorous.

Chuck Schumer publicly threatened Kavanaugh and Gorsuch, and I'm sure he's gotten to Roberts as well. It seems Chief Justice Roberts is scared to death of Schumer and his threats to pack the court.

That's ridiculous. That type of perspective plays right into the dims hands. That's a bad as those who say, "I'm not gonna even vote again because it's all crooked anyway!"
