[Amazing, you have it all figured out, even Trump not running in the 2020 election. Incredible.
Who do ya think Trump supporters should get behind if Trump bails out?]
I hope the non-traditional voters who pulled the lever for Trump will re-up in 2020, despite the lack of a wall. Like it or not, though, voters do remember campaign promises. Remember “read my lips”? Trump not only promised to build a wall - he promised that Mexico would pay for it. I doubt anyone will sweat the fact that Mexico won’t actually be writing a check directly. But the lack of a wall is likely to be a real sore point.
And if he don't, who should Trump supporters get behind?
If I had to say, Texas Governor Greg Abbott. I think he'd be great. And I certainly will vote for him if he runs in 2024.
The question is what will it take to make us do that?
If Trump is forced to declare a state of emergency, and the courts try to shut him down, you'll see millions rise up and descend on DC again.
That's one sure-fire way to get the party started.

No kidding? Me personally, after two Bush's and an LBJ, I won't be voting for anyone running for president coming out of Texas.
In fact, I won't be supporting anymore lawyers and or career politicians, most of which are also lawyers btw..lol. See, I've had a decades long belly full of insiders and their lip service and lies. I like outsiders now.☺
Btw, without Trump, the GOP is dead on the floor...As it should be.
I wish you were right, but the GOPe weasels are already running scared in the Senate and will no doubt lean against another shutdown. I’m all for an emergency EO, but a left-wing federal judge will shut it down the next day. The admin will appeal, of course, but Justice Roberts (thanks George Bush Jr) has shown himself unwilling to get very involved in immigration stuff, especially if it is seen as an end run around the legislative process.
The time for the wall was 2017.
Great picture and reminder - thanks for posting
Yes Lord, thank You for President Trump, and help us all to pray and support him
I am with you....100%!!! I am with & stand by & behind POTUS, Donald J. Trump!!! We can fix Washington and politics with one simple piece of legislation. It is called “Term Limits”. Two terms for Senators (12 Years) & Three terms for Congressmen (6 years). Case closed.
Thanks for your post..it is a good one.
In almost got kicked off freerepublic back in 09 because I wanted to bring some big guillotines...I mean I had designs and trucks in mind. I was told not to promote violence.
It absolutely should have been done back then.
You can tell the charlatans - they will mock you for pointing out a most inconvenient truth.

I believe we failed President Trump by not working hard enough for Republican candidates in the midterm elections. Such takes letters to the editors, knocking on doors, waving signs, putting up signs (especially on your own property), manning phone banks, putting bumper stickers on your car,helping candidates raise money and advocating for the candidates on social media connections. By the way, I did every one of the above things. There just were not enough of us to offset the propaganda program that used guilt by association tactics that used a smeared President Trump to paint our candidates with the same brush.
Trump will still get the wall built (or at least as much as possible because I think it will take more than a few years to build it all properly) and saying it won't happen now is the kind of negativity that sets things up for failure.
There is only one approach to getting things done and that is to believe you can do it.
Saying it can't be done is a formula for failure from the get-go.
The meme was created for people like you who are ready to give up too easily.
I believe President Trump is putting the finishing touches on his plan to use his emergency powers to build the wall. He has hired a team of lawyers to fight the legal fight. If he plays this fight correctly, it will buy him enough time to put up 100s of miles of barrier before the liberal judges shut it down.
IMO there is a plan to put up the wall very quickly--within a week. The fencing has all been fabricated and loaded on trucks and staged close the border. An army (The Army Corp of Engineers) of manpower has been trained to quickly set up the fencing. The Army Corp of Engineers is in the ready. It will be SLAM, BAM THANK YOU MAM. It will be so quick, heads will explode.
Good post! I will bring up the Tea Party. In the original form with no leaders, it scared the crap out of the RATs and elitists.
Mass protests do work.
Throwing up prefabs over a 100 miles in a week may be possible.
But we're talking almost 2,000 miles of border wall (or fencing) with Mexico that has to be built, less the miles that have already been built, of course.
Realistically, it will take years for the entire thing to be built.
That's exactly right. Trump has been surrounded by posers and liars in the Republican party since day one. It's no secret. Not to mention the other corrupt party who want to impeach this president. The man is literally surrounded by traitors and their deep state hired guns.
And it's become very clear, some of the biggest never-Trump factions on this site, are butt hurt Cruz supporters.
In fact, based on their own words, these people will have no issues going right back to supporting biz as usual, party first politicians the second Trump is out of the picture. You can see that right here on this thread.
But what they don't realize, or possibly don't care about, is the GOP without Trump, is done, dead on the floor. Without Trump it would be president Hillary Clinton, right now. The GOP has no candidate other than Trump and the and the lying left will eat them alive in any future election, just like the left would have done in 2016 running one of their own party first politicians.
I agree he has some arrows in the quiver, we just need to use them and damn the consequences.
