Well, I will say this about Ronald. He’s a strong believer in the 2A.

Awwwwwwww Laz…..Et tu Laz
So unfair!
For all Trump did for us…..for all the slings and arrows against him…..
…..and yet keeping our hopes up these past two years
I hardly knew ye Laz
I admire Ronald Reagan. And I admire George Patton. Trump is a combination of the two.
But not in the best possible way. Trump has too much Patton, and not enough Reagan. Is it even possible to have too much Patton in you? You betcha it is. Recall that Patton had a benefactor - Ike - who keep Patton from going completely off the rails. Trump has no Ike.
So yeah, Laz. You’re more right than wrong here.
And as a side note, I keep hoping Trump will do a course-correction. His ideas are just what the country needs. But it looks like he is unable to course-correct. And that’s a pity for the country.
The RNC should take a lot of the blame too. Ronna (ROMNEY) McDaniel and co suck. The RNC filed a bunch of election lawsuits but only 2-3 weeks ago. I don’t really get GOP/RND mailings anymore but when I did, I noticed the messaging was just stupid and aimed at old naive people or stupid people. Look at that DeSantis ad. On the 8th day, God created DeSantis? That was the RNC. They’re out of touch.
The GOPe deserves a lot of blame too for playing around with where they put their money.
Maybe I just go back to the days of writing in “Ronald McDonald” on my ballot in presidential elections.
So will you, like the Cruzer Losers did in '16, be officially campaigning against him?
Trump wil crush the mini orange man wanna bee like a bug.....
I’m with you!
Press on!
And I've seen lots of people have a Road to Damascus moment. So I'm not yet on the flight out of Trumpville.
But the departure lounge is a good place for now. For all the reasons you stated, plus one...
I apologize for reposting, but Trump's Achilles is his personnel instincts. They're a virtual dumpster fire. Sessions, the Mooch, Bolton, Tillersn, Mattis, Giuliani, McCabe, Nikki Haley, Sally Yates, Flynn, Hope Hicks, Reince Priebus, Rod Rosenstein. Oh, and Pence...and endorsing McCarthy. And now all the nonsense with DeSantis.
This is not an inconsequential Achilles. Indeed, picking Rudy to lead the stolen election charge was a disaster. He may have been America's Mayor but he was out of his league when arguing cases. In fact he was by many accounts hung over and that's why his hair dye was trickling down his face. Maybe that deck was stacked against Trump and there was no way he'd secure re-election via the courts, but our "ace" pitcher had no heat and the skipper kept him on the mound out of loyalty.
Ignoring a problem won't make it go away, and this is a big problem.
Re-electing Trump is tough enough. And I love the eye-poking of the MSM and the days of media head explosions after Trump trolls them. And we got awesome judicial picks.
But we have an illegal immigration problem, runaway deficits, a DOJ that treats parents like war criminals, and a conga line of actual stuff that needs ADMINISTRATION. I don't want to spend four years crossing my fingers on him selecting competent pit bulls to administer MAGA.
Well, I will say this about Ronald. He’s a strong believer in the 2A.

I am surprised.
I think you are right. Thanks for writing it well.
Easy, P...easy!
He’s got a right to his opinion.
I’m starting to agree with you. Trump is becoming counter-productive.
Thank you for your thoughtful post.
Trump would probably win the primary, but will Trump win the general election in 2024? Will he win PA, Arizona or Nevada?
I can’t complain about the RNC because I am not a Republican. If I WAS a Republican I’d feel like I belong to a party run by retardates.
No flack from me, fellow Freeper.
I agree with Laz
Great...a place for all the Never-Trumpers to post their “angst” and the closet-dwellers to out themselves.
“Will he win PA, Arizona or Nevada?”
Yes, Yes, and Yes. But then they will steal it from US just like before and nobody will lift a finger.
Trump was a tool for Conservative governance, no more no less.
Trump had a 50/50 nation and it stayed a 50/50 nation
DeSantis took a 50/50 state and made it a 60/40 state that excels across the board. He can do that nationally.
DeSantis has Trump’s positives, the fire in the belly, and the refusal to accept Democrat premises. But he is missing Trump’s glaring weaknesses in message discipline.
Trump needs to bow out to a younger, and frankly more successful candidate.
I’ll vote Trump in the 2024 General Election, if need be, but I hope I’ll be voting for DeSantis
Say it when you are looking into a mirror, Bucky. Your angry spamming needs a dose of self-reflection. Get some help.
