Trump dishes right back to the Leftists what they dish out all the time - and they can’t stand it.

Yes, we were a base long in search of an identity and DJT provided that Divine spark, at a critical point in U.S. history. The soul of America was saved, in the nick of time.

But there is only one star in our sky. Donald J. Trump is the only light in our firmament and that scares hell out of me. After Trump’s second term ends on Jan. 20, 2025, who will carry the torch? Who will we rally behind?

It might be time for our 63 million (plus) Deplorables to organize a new party, to keep this All-American momentum rolling.

Lying turd said Trump’s numbers held steady. No lowlife Trump’s numbers went up.

“Trump’s haters — it is not too strong a word — accuse the GOP base of abandoning its principles”

What these idiots don’t understand is that the GOP abandoned it’s base long before Trump became President.

This is a good assessment of what’s going on with the GOP base. Abernathy is saying what a lot of Republicans have been saying for years.

Trump has never shown himself to be anything but a true patriot. Why would America not have his back?

It’s probably true that Trump’s base will never turn on him. No matter what the Press throws at him, we know the alternative is worse. His greatest danger is trying to play politics like Karl Rove. If he starts to embrace the liberals to “broaden” his support, his supporters could lose their enthusiasm and sit out the next election... and he will gain no support from the liberals. In short, he is the only one who can hurt his support.

Read the entire article. It’s very good. 2ddiv vet is one of the best and most prolific of posters of articles on all of FR. And he has been for years.

The only way I turn against Trump is if he caves on amnesty to illegals and abandons his wall promise.

The GOP leadership has not understood its base for over 2 generations...”””

The GOP has played ‘go along to get along’ for too many years & has allowed too many laws to pull us down.

We finally have a knight on a white horse.

NOT letting him go.
