That list alone is enough reason to never want to see Trump in the WH again.

CPAC polling results tell me he put a pretty good hurtin’ on The Swamp. I imagine the primaries will reflect it, too.

Who should the more perfect outsider turn to for advice?

Well then Trump should have appointed them anyways. Make the RINOs vote them down and expose who is or isn't a RINO. Make a bunch of noise around it if someone won't vote on them, don't give them free cover because you don't think you have the votes.

Of course he has some responsibility, but I'm also being a realist here. Trump would not have known exactly who to appoint for a bunch of positions in his Cabinet, as he had never been around DC. He depended on trusted advisers who fed him badly info.

Does it say something about Trump that the many of the longest serving appointments he made were Democrats? Mnunchin, Navarro, Kushner, Ross—-all Democrats.

Maybe the conservative Republican appointments could not succeed in an administration when many of the most powerful people trusted by Trump were Democrats???

Trump has a remarkable ability to fool his supporters into thinking he is a conservative.

It’s good to see all the REAL republicans really stepping forward to advance the cause now that he’s out of the way.

You are welcome.

He’d probably put JBE in his cabinet in another term since they got along so well on prisoner releases.

Trump was a huge disappointment. The truth is that too many people have a belly full of his jizz to critique his performance in any objective or rational way. His image that the fanboys love is far from his reality. They thought he was fighting things that he wasn't. They thought he had control that he didn't. They paint him like some master Jedi but, in reality, he was much closer to an Ewok.

A businessman does not see political party in running a business or government.

Trump got done what thay all swore they would do for 50 years.

The Abraham Accords solved ME peace until Biden threw the JObama dumpster fire in and fired up and took HAMAs side.

Anyone who wants a Romney or Rubio just truly wants the uniparty democrats.

I wasn’t referring to you.

My tongued cheek was more wondering where the great public standard bearers are now. Do you see them? Cruz seems to be talking a good bit. Who else?

The worst part is that Trump abused the executive order to legislate, cracked the multiple trillion dollar figure on spending bills, and was an easy attack by leftist media due to his adolescent behavior. All of these things were the tools used by Dems to completely undo anything good he accomplished within days of Biden being sworn in.

Trump's fanboys haven't realized that their image of him is simply not reality. He said a lot of the right things but his performance in accomplishing them was abysmal.

like Dubya did, all cushy DC established guys.

I am done with canned politicians.

Who are you supporting in 2024?

The Paul family has been fighting for freedom since before Trump was publicly fighting with Rosie O'Donnell.

Name what he got done that they didn't?

Remember how Trump was going to repeal Obamacare? He couldn't even do that.

Their philosophy is generally great. They haven’t advanced much more than Rosie O’Donnell, though.

Thank McStain for that.

People do need to remember the President is not a dictator.

On the flip side, the GOP does not stick together anything like the Dems do.
