The hysterical attacks by Trump, his army of paid influencers and his paid ads are a calculated effort to accomplish a coup de main - a coronation signaling an early end to the primaries. It’s a risky gambit because it’s not clear he can keep up this rate of spending.

It’s essentially a replay of his strategy against Joe Biden. Trump’s problem then was that by August 2020, he had run out of cash. After that, he sustained wave after wave of ads and paid social media attacks, while a huge Democrat GOTV effort went on in the background, without having the cash to respond in kind. That was enough for Biden to beat him by 5% in the popular vote and, more crucially, top him in the electoral vote.

In 2020, Trump was like the runner who comes out of blocks with an early lead, but ends up being an also-ran because he peaked too early. At the rate he is blowing through cash, with all the legal issues he brought upon himself, the 2024 primary cycle may end up being the 2020 election campaign in miniature with an early lead that dissipates due to lack of funds. This is why he needs the other primary candidates to bow out early - financially-speaking, Trump can’t go the distance.

I agree its a gamble, even if Trump and American freedom is taken I will still vote Trump. Even if It becomes a “crime” I will vote Trump now.

I liked your post with hopes that next time you can include Rinos aiding and abetting. The swamp Uni Party. It seems some of the anti Trump rank and file GOP membership are very comfortable with a RINO controlled GOP.

So be honest Golden Eagle, do you favor a two tiered justice system? Do you agree with this form of weaponized justice system as long as it’s not targeted toward ronny? Do you believe Trump has committed crimes for which he is being targeted? Do you believe this is or is not a politically motivated vendetta?

No, I do not support these politically motivated charges, as I believe that's what they are. I hope he can prove his innocence, not only for his sake, but for ours, as all Republicans are now on trial by proxy.

But the truth is, he's not looking very strong, whether he can make a mean face during his mug shot or not. He did do/say some things that are legally going to be a problem.

I understand about "rooting for the team" no matter what, but this is not sports, this is about principles, and Trump is not a perfect man. That's why his support is stuck at 50% of Republicans. That may infuriate you, but when people are talking about "constitutional crisis" and "civil war" it has to be in support of something that's solid, and Trump is not solid, when it comes to principles. That may infuriate you as well, but that is the truth.

Of course you feel this way. Your party is rife with Uni Party Rinos. The kind you feel very comfortable with. In fact so comfortable you are far happier attacking Trump than them.

Wonder if it’s the same poll as in 2016.

Trump Poll shows he will never be president.

Media not at all happy there losing their pull power they been exposed to many lies and must be true stories.

Pure projection. Trump is the one who endorsed every one of those Rino's in Congress, starting with McCarthy and McConnell, not me.

Trump won in 2020; we all know it.

You, unfortunately, can't handle common sense.

[so I guess we can place you and Golden Eagle in the undecided column for a personalized Trump mug shirt?]


I don’t agree with any of the persecutions and think they’re a travesty. At the same time, I don’t think Trump is the best candidate for the White House. His broken promises, suppression of the GOP vote due to reckless statements uttered on a whim (that I agree with) and just out from left field policies (drug dealer amnesty, DACA amnesty now for a wall later) indicate that his fundamental positions are a cipher, perhaps even to himself. I’ll vote for him if he’s the nominee, but the GOP can do better.

And when the GOP takes the White House, all of Trump’s persecutors need to be thoroughly investigated and prosecuted, where wrongdoing is found, to the full extent of the law. Long prison terms are indicated for serious abuses of power, even if the trail leads all the way up to Biden, Hillary and Obama.

DeSantis, a guy whose middle name might as well be follow-through, is the man for such an endeavor. He kicked Chamber of Commerce shills like Catsimatidis and Griffin to the curb when they objected to his policies. He knocked a couple of elected Soros prosecutors off their perches despite the usual caterwauling from Democrat race-baiters. If necessary, he will sideline as many Federal employees as needed until he puts in the dock the bad guys who went after Trump.

In another thread, I said he was supporting the efforts of the uniparty GOPe to keep Trump from being president again...

He bought up Trump’s endorsements a bad people...

So if Trump’s endorsements are bad people, why does golden eagle continue to support desantis, who Trump also endorsed...

golden eagle is just a hypocrite about things and his support of the existing ‘republican’ uniparty power structure.

Put me in the definite NO column, as I would never wear a T-shirt bearing the face of ANY politician, EVER. Probably no man, ever, but definitely no politician.

So instead you want everyone else to believe desantis (polling far behind Trump) somehow has the support that can break that glass ceiling?

Well, you just never know. Who would have ever believed a cross dresser would cheat real women like Riley Gaines out of her due reward. But hey, I guess anything possible, even if ronny has to pretend to be someone he’s not eh?

Because DeSantis is a good man, unlike most every other Trump endorsement. Trump no longer endorses DeSantis, either. Trump attacked him on the very eve of his 2022 Election Day, no less.

Unjustly? This guy is begging for it. He doesn’t get enough attention at home so he spends his time trying to tweak people online to get people to pay attention to him
