Again you just yell about fraud in order to end all debate. Enjoy your bubble. I will no longer engage with such dishonesty.

Lol. So you ping me on another thread and say “oh I see you haven’t posted here” and when I do post, you troll me. You really are a strange old man. Your obsession with me and other freepers who do not support your lord and savior Trump is becoming very weird.

If he or she manages to defeat Trump for the nomination, there is a good chance Trump will take many of his supporters and run as a third-party candidate, or tell them to stay home, dooming the GOP nominee to defeat in the general.

I think the likely scenario is that Trump wins the Republican primaries but loses in the general to Biden. DeSantis performs pretty well, so he will be the frontrunner for 2028. The downside? We have to suffer four more years of Biden Administration.

You mean, we wanted the democratic process to take place? Yikes, you're really out there aren't you. Anyone who challenges your savior is an enemy, right?

Quite the lawyer are you not... ? See, some of US have been paying attention to your (cough cough cough) 'democratic process', say like how to steal an election ... see now the theft was NOT just against the sitting President, but from every American living citizen .... Because everybody knows the dead do NOT vote for republicans...

NONE of you have challenged President Trump, let alone the man Donald Trump... The 'democratic process' charged the US taxpayer millions of our tax dollars to create a criminal investigation which was known from the beginning a fraud.. Yet time again and again the special 'conservatives', bowed their heads and supported Mueller, Mueller, Mueller... spit on your democratic process.

You Barr loonies ignore at you own peril who you are playing games with, we already see the you all are willing to install a demented pervert in the Oval Office...

I take faith in what Christ said about those that sit in the seat of Moses .. the law giver... Christ does not present a nice picture of the law business..

I actually believe your 'democratic process' intends to jail President Trump, come hell or high water... Are you not paying attention to the CAW CAW CAW of the bloated old BS Barr...

Or, republican TDS suffers stay home and refuse to vote for him or vote for Biden instead. Or, outlets like FOX, NY Post, and WSJ devote most of their ink or air time to attacking Trump instead of attacking Biden who is actually destroying the country day by day.

Trump did not employ Fauci, The President toes not control personnel at FDA or NIH. I am so sick of people taking facts out of context to wave them like red flags.

What an asinine suggestion that in the middle of a pandemic a non scientist with no medical training who was nonetheless able to recognize a mountebank should have removed the leading figure in NIH and substituted in midstream.

The American people would have panicked, the MSM would have pilloried Trump. No good could have come of such a move. How would Trump in the middle of the pandemic when he was creating a supply chain, hospital facilities and arranging to supply medical personnel from the Armed forces vetted a replacement? What credentials did he have to pick someone who was qualified. Fauci has impeccable credentials despite being an ass who had failed at every effort he had led (think AIDS).

In the middle of a crisis Trump did sideline Fauci and brig in Navarro. Trump tried to promote drug therapy rather than the “jab” but the medical hierarchy made that impossible. I cannot express how much damage uninformed opinions such as yours have caused by gaslighting and by promotion of untenable impossible solutions Trump could have performed in your mind’s eye.

That’s one way to slink away rather than responding to facts. You seem to have a lot of ways to throw firebombs and avoid reasoned conversation and being exposed to unwelcomed truths.

Firstly, its a joke at this point to think anybody else is going to beat Trump. He has a historic margin. Nobody with that large of a margin has ever failed to gain the Republican nomination.

Secondly, he doesn’t have to say or do anything. A significant chunk of his voters are what Big Data Polls’ Richard Baris calls “Trump or Bust” voters...as in 30% of them. If Trump is not on the ticket, they simply won’t show up to vote. These are low propensity voters anyway so it wouldn’t be anything unusual for them.

Contrary to the RINO Establishment propaganda, Trump is not the only Republican who can lose to Biden. He is the only one who can beat Biden.

“Actually, there are two political parties in the USA:

The DJT-led (with members like Jim Jordan) Patriot America-first Constitutional Party.

And, the other party, the treasonous Uni-party.”

Well if that is true, then why is Trump running as a Uni-party Republican?

And yet, Trump kept Fauci employed for his entire presidency. I can't wait to hear your reasoning for that.

Some people installed in government cannot be fired.

President Trump dealt with the cards the 'democratic process' presented... They would have impeached him with cause had he fired the god of science, holy Fauci ... GA CDC played games with the 'rules', which they did not require in-house employees to adhere...

Fauci is on tape in 2017 saying that President Trump will be hit with a pandemic ... the spiked protein was a planned event. And the medical science profession has lost its respect ... now what we have are mandate driven control freaks. Why some state have forced vaccinations in their laws... 'democratic process' spit.

Goodwin has no basis to make such a claim, unless the GOPe is planning on committing fraud in the primary.

Trump didn't honor the 2020 general election results because of the fraud.

Trump has said numerous times that he would honor any fair election loss.

I thought only Kaitlan Collins didn't understand that point. I thought Goodwin was better than that.

If the GOPe doesn't rig the nomination process, Trump will NOT go third party and most of his voters will NOT stay home in the general.

There is absolutely no evidence to say otherwise.

And in fact it's the GOPe that has a record of sabotaging MAGA candidates in the general election.

Bull ... tons of evidence and you are too BLIND to even read about it. Thousands of sworn afidavits and you are stupidly dismissive. Are you following the LIES uncovered when Kari got into court this month? Multiply those frauds and lies by the other 6 states and you would start to comprehend. Keep watching Morning Joe for your news, numbnuts.... ymmv

I’m worried about DeSantis running as a third-party candidate.

The world is ever changing and so is the USA. From 1492 when
Columbus sailed the ocean blue until today this land has been
ruled/changed by the populace in charge towards new rules, law
and government oversight. In the mid 1800s this land fought a civil
war with regards to human rights. It was the rulers at the time leading
up to that war that brought in and used the natives of foreign countries
as slaves to do the grunt work. Today those natives have a big impact
upon what this country does. Change is inevitable.
Enjoy your three score & ten.

No. Trump does many things Conservatives don’t like.
