It appears I’m in good company. I too was earlier today called weird and strange by the gagfactor.

“You’re very strange. And you’re relatively new here so I’ll just chalk this up to weirdness and say good day to you.”

My reply: “You can’t tell when you’re being joshed? You swallered (sic) the lure buddy.”
And: “As far as you trying to apply these appellations to me I will say this. I accept the compliment!
P.S. Here is your word for the day. Droll.

You’re welcome.”

Haha!

Whether or not you or I approve of everything he did as president does not change the fact the entire administrative state as well as the Uniparty is set against him.

We should all be able to admit that.

why is Trump running as a Uni-party Republican?

Never-Trumper much?

Apparently, there is a good-sized FR contingent of never-trumpers, immune to truths to be considered and reasoned. So, no, not all here in your 'We' are able to "admit that".

You’re claiming that Trump and the GOPe are the only alternatives.

There is always a Door Number Three.

Example:

Senator Rand Paul.

“Never-Trumper much?”

No, not really. I support what he did “for” America and I am 100% against the radical left and RINOs in their “get Trump” agenda. Only recently, with Trump’s latest dig (lie) against DeSantis, comparing him negatively against Cuomo, have I become disenchanted with the idea of Trump as president again. That said, I would still probably support him over ANY damned Democrat in any election....should he miraculously win the nomination and actually be able to run again.

Getting back to the topic....

I asked a logical question. Don’t shoot the messenger just because you don’t have a logical answer. If there really are two parties, one being the DJT-led Patriot America-first Constitutional Party, then why is Trump running as a Uni-Party Republican?

Goodwin is on target. But how many Only Trumpers are there? The last time I looked, there were more Never Trump votes than Only Trump votes.

Do you remember how supporters of other candidates in 2016 said they weren’t going to vote for Trump and went looking for other candidates? 99 percent of them eventually voted for him. The same thing will happen with Trump supporters if he is not the nominee, and with the supporters of DeSantis and others if he is.

What Trump supporters, DeSantis supporters, and supporters of other Republicans agree on is that we cannot survive four more years of this corrupt, criminal Communist regime.

There is only agreeing to disagree if your your stance is DJT should not be next POTUS. I believe he is and will be all about the continuing drainage of DC swamp

Which....would be great....except....

what part of the DC swamp did he actually ‘drain’? Looks to me like most of the cretins that were there then....are still sliming around and raking in the $$$. Most of which are still dissing Trump, even (like Barr). Obama is still pulling the destruct strings from behind the scene. I don’t see evidence of drainage.

I view it differently. Swamp is being drained via exposure and reveal. Recent example is Durham report last week. bidEn acting constantly as a fool. Inflation, debt, collapsing dollar, Ukraine all disastrous occurring on ‘rat watch.

Well, then...you and I have a vastly different version of the term “draining the swamp”....since in my version, people actually go to jail and/or at the very least lose their freaking jobs....for ever. They don’t get to keep their cushy taxpayer funded job OR get to accept another cushy job from some other leftist employer.

Meanwhile....the border is still wide open, America is still being invaded and Cloward-Pivened by the radical Marxist left, and we’re still facing a very iffy presidential election, considering the theft the DS left has already pulled off and gotten away with...

with the help of the RINO traitors within the GOP.

Sorry, I still don’t see any “drainage”. Damn nice dream, though.

Which is why 99 percent of DeSantis people will vote for Trump if he’s the nominee and 99 percent of Trump supporters will vote for DeSantis if he’s the nominee.

Perhaps you should have let him have his second term rather then sucking up to your butt buddies the communists?

That won’t hvae the same effect this time. People saw what happened in Georgia as a result of him telling them it was rigged and don’t vote (and especially Lin Wood saying so — whatever happened to that guy?)

Right now, the Never Trump vote is bigger than the Only Trump vote.

Democrats are fervently working to keep No Labels off state ballots because they know that NL presents a real threat to them. My prediction is that it will be on several ballots and its candidate will run as an independent in several other states. That will most likely help the Republican, whether it’s Trump, DeSantis, or someone else.

As I said before, what Trump supporters, DeSantis supporters, and supporters of other Republicans agree on is that we cannot survive four more years of this corrupt, criminal Communist regime. 99 percent of Trump’s voters will vote for the Republican nominee if it’s not Trump and 99 percent of the non-Trump voters will vote for teh nominee if it is Trump. The question is how independents and suburban women will vote.

At this point in our nation’s deliberately orchestrated demise...

do we have any other choice?

No. That is a pipe dream. No more votes for the GOPe. They are no different from Leftists.
I will not vote for DeSantis; he is in the Ryan/McConnell/Globalist/.Bush camp. I will not give cover to those who seek to fiddle while America burns. “R” means nothing. MAGA means everything.

So please explain what “ideas” you’re voting for then?

You need someone to actually implement ideas. That’s how things work.
