Donald Trump is my favorite President, even more so than Ronald Reagan.
However, I think I’m moving on from him.
I like him in the role of a clarion-calling standard bearer, and his presidency was the best I have ever seen.
I don’t like him in terms of his failure to be a team player. I’m not even sure I like him as a kingmaker. Calling out numbers to make him look good, in a severely-disappointing election shows me he doesn’t care about the boots on the ground, but only how he looks.
Reagan faced the same Establishment hate and Media mocking, but he had a great way of playful rebuttal, with a twinkle in his eye and a little smile. America loved that. All the attacks mustered against him, failed, because he was able to gently turn it around on his attacker with a witty quip or a well thought out fact.
Reagan was also the author of the phrase, the 11th commandment, which was “Thou shall not attack a fellow Republican.”
Trump, on the other hand, has a serious ego problem. He cannot resist getting into a public verbal fight with anyone who criticizes him. While this was fresh and new in 2016, and propelled him into the presidency, it doesn’t work in 2022.
Also, the way Trump fights back is not nearly as good as Reagan’s style. Trump hasn’t got the charm of Reagan, and it’s beginning to hurt our side.
It is for these reasons that I must move on from Donald Trump. Sir, thank you for your incredibly wonderful service in 2016 through 2020. You made those years prosperous and sane. But it is time to move on.
I’m likely to get a ton of flak for this post. That’s okay, I can take it.
“ nor does it keep someone else from, God willing - stepping up to continue to move forward on the path Trump blazed.
Prayers for guidance and strength.

Hear, hear! God willing, I pray for it too. We need so many more God aware.
Dang….I thought that obsessed one had disappeared. It only took a short break?? A time out??
Regardless….it’s an admitted retread and $hot bot.
Says the humorless ‘lennial who hasn’t even been on FR for two years.
Zots and Viking Kitties are a long-standing FR tradition. We’ve always had trolls and this is a fun and lighthearted way to deal with them.
I realize “fun and lighthearted” is an alien concept to many in the Greta Thunberg/David Hogg generation, but we recognize it as a healthy approach to some of life’s (and FR’s) annoyances.
As Bikkuri said, a lot of the original pingees and keepers of the Zot Ping lists have passed on or left for various reasons. Bikkuri was kind enough to go through the hassle of recreating the list and reinvigorating VK and ZOT notifications.
And many of us are grateful for it.
Way to go take grow FR
Huh?
Think it will break 500?
5.56mm
I must admit, I had never seen Overcusser50’s posts that I can recall.
Was he/she/it another shot-lover?
That would work, Dog!
I might do my ping list. That’ll get us over 500!
Thus Laz has spoken;
Thus shall it be.
I’ve been on FR longer than you have, young’un. Not that it really matters.
Your attempt paint me as a Greta fan is lame, laughable and telling. Got anything honest? Or is honesty beyond you?
I have a feeling this is going to be a long, long thread.
The firing upon Fort Sumter...
Oh! I found something out! MAGA is Reagan's original 1980 slogan!

Check my ping! Turns out MAGA was Reagan’s original slogan!
Some of them seem to be getting bolder (more rude, if that’s possible) recently...
Hey, I give CatHerd credit! She successfully channeled Fetterman! :^)
why would you lose us
Well said.
Laz I am hearing this everywhere.
From thoughtful conservatives
He is the man who brought us to the place we need to be.
But he is not the man to do the next step.
Nothing wrong with him. Different skill set.
VDH calls it .
I think it will make it past 500... we have enough hijacks and different topics going ;^D
(sorry about that :P )
Trump is running in '24. Desantis will get crushed if he tries to go against Trump.
You will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Where are you going to go?
