Only difference between Cult45 and libs are the libs have sense enough to know winning elections matter.

We got majority control of the House, which they tell me is a big deal.

But beyond that subject, have you ever considered what all it would take for Trump to earn your unabated seal of approval and a job well done? Is there really anything? Seems like you’d have to be prepared to specify what it is that you would expect in that regard in order to conclude whether the efforts are short, well short, just short, etc.

What all would he have to do? There are so many specifics as to failing (much detail to that end), so what exactly does he need to do, in similar detail, to rectify the situation?

But not at all surprising that you’d force yourself to compose some sort of distinction that makes it ok in one instance but not the other. Sometimes it’s ok to just say nothing on a given topic or point of debate. As of this point there’s no doubt that it’s automatic for you to get to work right away on a contrary position.

I'll just repost what I said in another thread:

We underperformed by net 27 seats. I'm happy we got the majority but NO ONE and i mean NO ONE, has been touting the 2022 election as a great success. And, FWIW, i don't blame this squarely on Trump. Some of it had to do with Republicans and Ronna McDaniel catastrophically failing to get out a coherent message.

This, is where your assumptions faulter. I don't know about "unabated" but Trump definitely has my seal of approval. He was the best President in my adult lifetime. He strengthened the economy, put the screws to China, and helped us reach energy independence. However, he was short sided and though i agreed with his EO's, they didn't mean shite when Biden could undo them his first day in office. And if we are being perfectly honest, he shoulders a portion of the blame for our current inflationary rates.

With all of that said, i believe DeSantis to be the better candidate. What he has done to Florida, using legislation and essentially making Florida marxist-proof is what i want to happen nationally. Trump's too busy taking pot shots at any Republican that may be a threat to focus on the true enemy. Trump 2024 is not Trump 2016. He'll also be in his 80's and i have damn near universal opposition from anyone at that age being in public office.

Have you ever laid out in relatively specific detail what you believe Trump should’ve done and at what particular critical junctures, to meet with your approval? I don’t mean that facetiously, and I don’t mean it as a gotcha by requesting unreasonable detail. Just relatively defined detail, and at which points to have made the referenced moves.

Maybe that would help in understanding what he should’ve done as opposed to what he did/didn’t do.

Like a timeline? No.

Like broad strokes? Yes. In fact there were threads in this board that provided a platform for this sort of thought exercise in real time.

To lay out “this happened on April 10 and this is what he should have done” would be tedious and not as enlightening as speaking to certain principles that should have guided him/his administration.

Look at your ratio.
