No. Trump is right here. As usual. Like he was with DeSantis

“ Trump sure knows how to encourage people to support him. No wonder almost everyone in office or appointed by him has turned on him.”

Yes. Almost everyone in dc is part of tge swamp. A 150 year old swamp

..that may be, but here in Texas he is quite highly regarded...maybe he saw something(s) in DeSantis that was in tune with his own political philosophy, but still, I can’t see why Trump would call him a RINO....the more Trump opens his mouth, at times, the more I wonder about his mental state....this was uncalled for in my opinion...

And one more time:

An anchor baby is a baby born to a mother who was pregnant and near delivery when she was smuggled across the border. That baby anchors her. It is a US citizen by virtue of birth within US jurisdiction and thus is the anchor that she is tied to and can thus remain.

I have never, until the recent handful of wackos spoke up, heard “anchor baby” assigned to a natural born citizen whose parents were permanent resident aliens, in the US in an entirely lawful way. That baby is not an anchor that holds them in place. They were in place legally to begin with.

There is no anchor action in the process. There most certainly is when a baby is born to illegals on US soil. THAT baby anchors them in place.

The person who posted this is an anti-Trumper who thinks all Trump supporters blindly worship Trump no matter what. I was just making the point that we all aren’t all blind worshippers, rather some of us consider Trump the only rational choice.

And Chip Roy was one of the loudest voices in the impeachment attempt on Texas AG Ken Paxson.

Trump does a perfectly fine job of diminishing himself.

Chip Roy is one of the good guys...he’s fighting hard, in the trenches, every single day.

We would be lucky to have more like him.

Trump needs to shut his piehole.

One of Trump’s biggest problems is liking the sound of his own voice entirely too much. He says many things that need to be said, but then needs to button his lip.

I agree with you. Chip Roy is one of the few energetic and charismatic public speakers in our party. He is someone you want on your team.

Dear Trump, it’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to continually open your stupid mouth and remove all doubt. SMH.

You see? This is the same crap. Understand what conservatism is.

It is Drain the Swamp
It is Build the Wall
It is American First In All Things

IN THAT ORDER. These faux conservatives never embrace item 1, which would require opposition to all things RNC and the donor class.

Populism is ascendant. It is the purest form of Conservatism. A guy who opposes taxes is not a litmus test. The number one litmus test is eradication of the political class, and it’s hard for one to pass that test if they have had a political career.

You make it sound like it’s a bad thing to be called a “RINO.”

Pretend everyone from Texas is conservative thing-I won’t mention the border
