What happened to the Tucker Carlson Debate round table? That I would like to see. The Old style—Lets get Trump Debates are so—2020. They are only as good as the hype.

It should be clear to everyone on FR, that the vocal “desantis supporters” are just nevertrumpers.

Especially now that desanctimonious is in the single digits in the polls.

Since there isn’t anything they can post to talk about him, they gather in certain threads, to spam attacks on Trump and his supporters, and be sour grapes....

Yet they still push that everyone should vote for who wins the primary.... fully expecting that Trump is taken out of the running, and desanctimonious would win.

Well, that isn’t going to happen.

You are correct sir!

Even though it is their fondest desire, it will not happen.

Why the hell would he? I’d think less of him if he showed up. Better to have a rally at the same time.

“He is a natural born fighter.”

And insulter and bragger. Overall I like him too but his frontier now is pulling in voters that dislike him personally.

Trump is basically the incumbent. All the challengers are also-rans. He has no need to show up and let the 12 dwarves, or however many there are, nip at his heels

Trump’s approach will let Fox know that they are not in charge any more, but the debate may help to uncover the views of the others.

Trump is the SEC.

The other candidates are Conference USA.

That is a very pleasant statement coming from The Donald.
Good for him. Now off to visit with Tucker at that same
date and time period? We will see. (shrug)

So you say, but an opinion does not make it a fact!

What I posted isn’t merely “nice”, it is indeed a fact. No one comes to power without God’s permission. Biden has been permitted the office he holds, albeit illegitimately, most likely as this nation’s punishment for falling away from our Heavenly Father.

Yup. It will be a bash-Trump fest with no discussion from any of them as to their policies.

The question I and many people have is why didn’t they just let Trump run and steal the election again? Why make it so public that they are tampering with our elections? I think the answer is that if Trump becomes the nominee he will have a decent chance of winning the election and Washington can’t allow that. The reason for this is that things are likely to get psychotically bad for America before the next election and they know it. The economy, the war in Ukraine, Biden’s crimes, and who knows what else. There is just so much instability and any one of those things could easily get totally out of control giving Trump a huge opening.

He’s not going to change who he is in order to attract that segment of voters. He has a HUGE base of supporters who like him as is. They like the way he fights - insults and all. Changing who he is to attract this group or that group is the sort of thing people like DeSantis do.

If people who don’t like Trump personally get on board and vote for him, it’s going to have to be because they realize that, regardless of their personal dislike of him, he’s the best candidate for the job. At least they’ll know that he’s genuine.

He can’t participate because he won’t sign the GOP loyalty pledge. I think that was what was meant. Trump is happy enough to use the GOP connections without supporting the GOP candidate if it’s not him.
