Ronbots power rangers!! United!

You guys are sad. Truly sad. If he is the best man for the job, we will elect him.

But to be this damn petty and ignorant to what is going on is even worse than that.

Wait. Many of you were on here talking about you were not voting for Trump and then changed sides in the mid term.

So now its our turn right. We will just hate on him because his minions here are petty and ignorant. And then... not vote for him.

Let's see how all the petty divisions and call outs helps our actual cause.

You have no power here. No one cares what you people think anymore.

Start having some self reflection or this whole ship goes down completely

Don't you have a scam PAC to post about?

I remember you posting in the scam PAC post a few years ago that you were glad Joe Kent beat an incumbent R even though he lost in the general to a Dem.

You may be right.

But we are also in a terrible spot right now because of who was elected and a do nothing congress

Its really time to start making some serious changes on our end as to who we listen to and what we care about

Now he gets 28


There are no excuses here. The R Nominee no matter who it is is likely to lose in 28

The difference, that we can't seem to get through to you people, is that Ron knows what he is doing in that regard. He knows how to work with other politicians, with legislators, etc. He knows how to leverage his OWN power to work towards his goals

Trump doesn't know how to do any of that and couldn't care less about it

They are opposites in many ways.



I actually don't think your analysis is completely wrong here on a general level.

Thing is, Trump is nothing if not a pretty malleable guy. If there was even the tiniest hint of strong Republican leadership in Congress with any mind to push legitimate new conservative issues, they could have easily gotten him to go along.

Instead all they have done for two years is sit on their asses.

Rail on the guy all you want, but you have to realize it's a street that runs two ways. And here we are, of course.

Ron pulled triggers too early. Should have been prepping for an 2028 run

The problem is that we know for a fact that Trump doesn't care about it.

The guy that was literally in charge of lobbying and pushing legislation for the Admin in Trump 1 flat out said that it wasn't something that he cared about

They didn't try in 1, so there wasn't a lot of reason to believe they would in 2. And they did even less, WITH control of Congress

Getting bills passed is hard. They didn't want to try

Sure, but with actual strong congressional leadership and majorities in both chambers, it didn't really have to be anything he cared about. Put it in front of him and get him to sign (or not). Where was anything decent that he didn't?

Instead we had feckless shite in both chambers.

Desantis would have easily won the general election too.

Kamala wasn't even popular in her own party. 1% polling and first to drop out of the 2020 primary. She was a terrible candidate and coming off Biden being highly unpopular. Republicans could have nominated almost anybody and still beaten Kamala.

What a strange take

But alright. Now is the time for introspection and figuring out what to do next and how to move forward.

I'm sure you don't have a lot of interest in that, but I certainly do after this week's disaster. Its going to be a long long battle.

I'm honestly not in the mood to fight here anymore. There was a lot of arrogance over DJT's popularity and everybody seems pretty humbled now.

Ron obviously has the best track record. I don't know if he will ever campaign well or be able to connect with people. I don't know if I see him winning the rust belt.

I still think JD is the best chance to carry MAGA going forward. He is the best shot in the rust belt. He is the most anti-war guy. He is going to have to walk a tightrope between distancing himself from the admin., yet not upsetting hardcore DJT supporters. I totally understand why people think he is a phony/chameleon and possibly a big tech puppet.

Man, I am just not down with Marco. I perceive him as a neocon fake MAGA. Same as Ron, I don't think he would do well in the rust belt, although he would probably be good for places Nevada, Arizona, Georgia (obviously Florida).

It will be an interesting ride.
