That’s true. The problem is that his U.S. Attorney nominees are subject to Senate confirmation — so you’re likely to end up with a bucket full of establishment lawyers in these positions anyway.
“Who cares? Who will be the Attorney General?”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
If my prayers are answered, it will be Jim Jordan.
He’ll have plenty of time to decide while cooling his heels in prison. If he’s scheduled to get out before 2028, maybe he’ll get to run again.
Even better, most of the candidates they make those accusations of are people who worked for Trump. They are turning this place into RinoRepublic while they accuse everyone else of being deep state liberals. It is senseless, but they are senseless.
They are going to punch our tickets for 4 more years of this maniacal regime because they wanna nominate the only guy who could lose to this corrupt, demented lunatic (again), and then they will turn around and blame us for seeing the obvious and having the nerve to warn them in advance.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Ronald Reagan, in 1980, first offered the slot to former President Gerald Ford. Ford demanded, as a condition of accepting the offer, to be “co-president.” Reagan said sorry, Jerry, hope you enjoy your retirement.
Reagan then called George H.W. Bush. Bush had been Reagan’s main rival for the nomination. He [Bush] considered his time in politics over. I think he was dressed informally and enjoying an adult beverage when he got the call from Reagan. It was a total surprise to Bush.
That’s how it happened.
Party bosses didn’t dictate Bush to Reagan. Reagan was the party boss.
Ditto Trump in 2016.
Nobody who has the wherewithal to win the Republican nomination for President of the United States is “dictated to.” They might make deals with counterparts in the Congress, but that’s a different matter.
“Byron Donalds for VP.”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
An excellent choice if Trump is serious about winning
Turning Trump supporters into DeSantis haters was a master stroke by the Left - you have to admit. Whoever said what, the media has done a magnificent job of stoking the fires higher on behalf of the Democrats.
As Heinrich Garland kept telling us, Trump appointed Weiss
The same guy who wants to lock I’m up for 750 years
“Christie: Secretary of Donuts.”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Too easy to bribe him.
Christie, like George Conway, is a disappointed office seeker acting out his grievance.
I actually admire Chris even though he is a harlot. He has turned being a hateful ungrateful fat clown into a brand that actually pays him well. It is kinda like professional wrestling and he is a heel.
I can accept that thesis as true.
We are faced with picking the best person out of a list of severely flawed choices. That has always been the nature of politics.
When did the Republican party ever have an amicable relationship with their own Grassroots supporters?
Sometimes people mention President Nixon and President Ford on Free Republic and they say that those presidents were too liberal.
Was Eisenhower representative of the GOP and have an amicable relationship with supporters then?
It seems that at least on Free Republic the only presidents who have broad support are Reagan and Trump. Every other Republican president that’s ever mentioned is said to be too liberal.
None of them were worthy of being in D.C. just more lobbyists bait.
Cheap and easy political whores at best.
That all ended in 2016. It was obvious when the GOP establishment favorite (Yeb) turned out to be less popular than a child molester among Republican voters.
Not just that, but have torpedoed promising candidates--I'm thinking what was done to keep Murkowski as Senator from Alaska.
Or the work people like Scott Pressler is doing, and the RNC is nowhere to be found--and I suspect if that work gains momentum, the RNC would actively work against him. Think McConnell and the Tea Party movement.
Or how about what Bush and co. recently tried to do to Ken Paxton?
Already, what suspiciously sound like party operatives are kvetching on this thread.
Its why I'm not surprised an RFK gets traction. Because many of those prominent people you mention act like their Democrat counterparts.
This really isn't about parties. This really about (oversimplified) DC and its priorities versus the rest of the USA.
Well that explains Pence and Romney Ryan.
If Reagan really did this, then he was never much of a conservative icon after all.
Gerald Ford was one of the most insufferable losers ever to show up on the national political scene. He was never even elected to the national offices he held, having succeeded both Spiro Agnew (VP) and Nixon (President) when his predecessors resigned in disgrace.
You’d have to be retarded to even consider that dope as your running mate four years after he lost to Carter.
DeSanctus would be best used as FEMA Director.
He’d perform well and be able to bank his growing government pension.
Casey would like that.
