“Tell me, how many millions of patriot conservatives voted for an open borders globalist like Bush, not once, but twice?”

I voted for George W, and his Daddy twice. Both times I held my nose in doing so. I knew the vote was for the lesser of two evils. Neither Bush appealed to me. The Yale educated wealthy father was an elitist globalist, completely out of touch with middle America. The son was a problem child who achieved “success” in business, and election to the governorship of Texas, thanks to the connections of his father. Had George W. Bush been born into an average family he would never have enjoyed success in business and politics. He isn’t a visionary or very bright. He was a puppet for the friends of his father (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powellwho filled the administration.

Millions of conservatives voted for the lesser of two evils in the 1990’s and 2000’s. With Trump showing it is possible to fight back, and win some battles, it will be interesting to see how the Republican base vote in 2022. Will the RINO’s be able to take the base for granted again. Or this time, will millions choose not to vote in an election between a leftist democrat and back stabbing RINO?

Trump endured 4 years of fighting the Washington establishment and many of the people he appointed to office. He made many poor personnel choices and their disloyalty eventually did him in. The question for 2024, should Trump run, is whether or not he can vet and name loyal people to a new administration. If he doesn’t not have that ability, he will fail again should he be reelected.

For those who say McConnell prevented him from hiring the people he wanted, I say BS. Trump was great using the bully pulpit. He never nominated someone without vetting with McConnell so he never tried. Had he wanted someone McConnell didn’t like, he could have told McConnell that if the Senate resisted confirming he’d go on the road to the public, it is very likely the pragmatic McConnell would have caved. McConnell is a back room operator. He fears dealing with the people, particularly the conservative GOP base, in the light of day. Trump could hit the road and ask the people to let their GOP Senators know what they think about the nominee. With tens of thousands of emails and phone calls coming into their offices, McConnells GOP Senators will fold like the empty suits they are.
