re: How is this Gaetz thing not an unforced error?

The DOJ hates Gaetz. If they had evidence to charge him with a crime they would have done it. The testimony of the accusers was not deemed credible. The problem lies with the RINO Senators.

What else are we to read into resignation other than the ethics report was really bad?
The most logical conclusion is that Gaetz thought he would be AG.
You attack people for thinking this was 4D chess when you are doing the exact same thing in the opposite direction. You run with the most negative explanation while they choose the most positive. You see the folly in their way of thinking but not your own.

But why did he resign his seat? He could be a sitting House member and be the nominee for AG. He’s too savvy to not know that.

Or maybe just maybe he really liked gaetz for all of the reasons that we like him. He’s unapologetic, beholden to no one, and is also a victim of the deep state. Sort of a perfect Trump nominee wouldn’t you say? Perhaps the only miscalculation is thinking that he wouldn’t step aside in order to keep the heat off of the administration.

Trump wouldn’t have beat anyone else is the new talking point? Beautiful. No self-awareness. You far left wackos aren’t able to understand the mandate the American people gave. It’s going to be a tough couple of elections for you. Posted on 11/22/24 at 12:47 pm to BBONDS25
You’re reaching, big guy. It’s universal that she was a bad candidate.
I don’t much know or care who Trump could or could not have beaten in an alternate universe. He beat a really bad, unlikeable candidate here in this universe, though. Beat her handily, too. So handily that I think you’re right it was a complete repudiation of her worldview and DEI nonsense.

Biden was actually polling worse than she was, and dem policies in general were being roundly rejected in all chambers of federal and state government, so I’d love to know who would have beat him.

Your last three candidates have been really bad and unlikeable so maybe your problem isn’t Trump.

It’s the same story from his first term:
Trump is a superb campaigner and marketer. He is shitty administrator and operator. He’s also not much of a coalition-builder in the political sense (he’s great at it electorally, one of the best in a generation).
It’s where details and nuance matter, and Trump doesn’t particularly care for that stuff. It’s why outside of the 2017 tax bill, his first admin didn’t really get anything that was meaningful and lasting done before Covid hit.

You ignore the fact that the Biden DOJ couldn’t even get enough evidence for a fricking indictment, but you have concluded the ethics report is damning…and I’m reaching?
I don’t deny she was a bad candidate. I do think the insinuation that Trump wouldn’t beat someone else is foolish. Minimizing the reasons Trump won is also foolish and will continue to bite the far left wackos in the arse.

I thought this was a good critique of MAGA the first time around and how the machine crushed him. To his credit, I did not see him coming back from 2020.

So what’s the reason he resigned that doesn’t have to do with quashing the ethics report? It just doesn’t make sense.

Because every time Trump makes a mistake, there is some esoteric plan behind the scenes that was the REAL plan.
1. EVERY single one of Trumps picks have been scrutinized by Democrats dating back to 2016.
2. Gaetz resigned almost immediately. Can you tell me another cabinet pick that did that? Im sure there have been some under somebody's admin but when and who?
3. If Schumer doesnt allow another judicial nomination to hit the floor, then you almost have to say this was a poltical chess move. Every POTUS spends their last couple of months trying to fill vacancies. Its not like it jumped up and caught the Trump admin by surprise

You want to refute it? Let's see your evidence, counselor.
Healthcare, immigration, border security, education, social issues, entitlement reform, on and on and on - what did he actually accomplish there that was 1) meaningful and 2) lasting (as in, legislatively)?

The investigation is 3 years old though.
Everyone paying attention knew about this.
So its not like these allegations were a surprise. They are old.

How many Kamala signs/car stickers did you have to throw away on 11/6? I'm sure you kept your "love is love" sign up though.

I’m pretty agnostic on the Gaetz situation. I’ve been posting here a lot lately but never commented on Gaetz at all, when he was selected or now that he’s withdrawn
I will say my immediate thought when he was selected was that it could very likely be a bargaining maneuver or a distraction (because he’s an outrageous guy), however his new nomination isn’t who I would have suspected either. So I don’t really know what to make of the situation.
