And this is why the republicans struggle. Trump was a businessman that got suckered into playing politics. Hopefully he learned something. If he runs in 24 we need to all rally around and support him 100% like the leftist do. Why argue among ourselves and give the leftist and MSM cannon fodder? And if you stay home out of “principal”, congratulations on your vote for a leftist.

I still chuckle when I think about the RNC autopsy report after Mittens which basically said to go for amnesty. Then trump does the opposite and wins lol.

These party fricks are so useless.

They are heavily invested in foreign wars and foreign governments. Everything bad that's been said about the GOPe in the last fifty years was 100% correct.

We infight. If Trump runs he’s the runaway favorite. But we’re bashing him already. Louisiana ended up with a stellar governor this go around because of the same mindset. We need to be 100% behind the nominee.

Trumps not perfect, but he’s the best we’ve had in a very long time.

Compare Miami-Dade voting in 2016 to 2020.



I'll give you a hint: red

Republicans struggle because some have expectations that their representatives actually represent them? I don’t think so.

I think republicans struggle because the rank/file are soft, and what a shock - we end up with soft representatives.

The idea that it’s a problem for a conservative to voice criticism for a Republican president growing government, handing out trillions unnecessarily, installing Wray at FBI, turning the country over to Fauci because a virus was killing 85 yos, etc., etc. is weak shite.

Be careful. That’s starting to sound like you don’t think Trump batted a thousand during his first term.

First, arguing among ourselves is healthy. I’m not sure how it’s giving the Left cannon fodder.

Second, I have been very consistent - while I don’t think Trump was President Jesus, think he fricked up some big things, I will have ZERO problem contributing to his campaign and voting for him in the general. I’ll also vote for him in the primary if there isn’t a clear cut better option. I spent 25 posts in a thread on this board the other day ridiculing 3rd party self-idenrifying “conservative voters” for helping Leftists.

This is just my own observation and opinion, but I sense that you are conflating two separate ideas: disagreement with particular your own points of criticism -with- unwillingness to criticize. It’s just not uncommon for a person to be fully willing to criticize Trump on any number of issues, but disagree with the specific criticism that you may be doling out at the time.

I don’t think he came anywhere close. I think he could have come a lot closer if he would have stuck to his convictions and not listened to the “experts”.

I've argued the same thing. It was clear early on that Trump understood he was being hoodwinked. His intuition was that Covid wasn't what it was being politi-hyped to be. You could hear it in his comments. But in the end, he caved.

It's hard to understand what you're saying without some specifics.

It's one thing to say, "I think Trump was pretty good over Covid because I agree with him, we needed to give all the Democrat/RINO governors trillions so they could lock their citizenry out of their business, schools and churches, as well as shore up state and union pension plans" but it's another thing to say, "I think Trump was pretty good over Covid, because Covid was hard."

More proof DeSantis is a RINO, controlled by the establishment and cannot be trusted. If he wins in 2024, don’t be surprised if he grows government, turns the country over to whackjob Leftist deep-staters in made up national emergencies, installs shitty heads of the DOJ/FBI, and does stupid shite like granting immunity from liability to major industry.





This is a work of art. Truly, put it in the Louvre.

You’re spot on with the observation that ot (my post) was a bit broad in nature. I intended that because I was making a broad and non-specific comment. It was in reference to what seems to me to be the belief that a person who opposes or argues against some specific criticism of Trump is a sycophant and possibly even dangerous in some way to Republican electoral chances.

The bottom line point was that a person can even vehemently argue against a particular criticism of Trump you’re making, while still being ready, willing and able to issue their own criticisms/opinions on some other issue.
