Will Trump Be the Last Republican President ?
American Thinker ^ | 11/12/18 | Brian C Joondeph

Posted on 11/12/2018 4:45:58 PM PST by chiller

I believe that Donald Trump will be the last Republican president many of us will ever see in our lifetimes. We hope that he will serve two terms, but even that is not a given, despite his popularity both personally and of his MAGA agenda. I’ll call it the three D’s, in honor of Trump’s first name Donald – demeanor, demographics, and deception. (snip)...In other words, Trump is a one-off, an exception. Unlike Obama, Trump is the one we have been waiting for, after a string of wet noodles named Bush, Romney, McCain, and Ryan to name a few. But the Republican bench is thin. Who is the heir apparent? I don’t see anyone with the charisma, fire in the belly, energy, and commitment to conservative principles and values.

Actually, it wasn’t too long ago that a similiar question was posed about the Democrats, soon after the 2016.

Wow, sorry you had to bear the blunt.
Many are Trolls just piling on .
Odd how they ignore all the races we won like
TX Gov race big , AZ Gov race
The FL recount will die out .
Scott dropped the ball .
Paul Ryan and his COC got their blood.
And PA Redistricting and all these retirements at once thanks to Ryan helped .

Funny, I could have sworn you called yourself a woman in past posts. Are you a tranny?

...of course I want a justice who wants a strong 2d amendment.

There is no such thing as a "strong 2d Amendment" and "wants" is irrelevant. There is adherence to our God-given rights or denial of them. "Shall not infringe" is the key clause in the Second Amendment. The left infringes those rights all the time. For example, in your state of NJ, you can be arrested for having the wrong kind of ammunition or a rifle with the wrong length barrel. That's nuts and anybody who supports that should move to Cuba.

How about infanticide or what liars call "choice?" What are your thoughts on that?

I think this election was big for the millennials because of Bernie Sanders and the metoo movement. Both will not be as much of a factor in 2020 hopefully. Bernie is old and #metoo will fade out because it is so extreme. I think the kids will come back around. Millennials seem to just believe everything and really seem to love a perceived personality like Beto.

The public schools by & large are a nightmare. Parents need to keep their children out of those schools & go private, or homeschool. That’s a start if we are ever going to get a grip on things.

Let’s see what happens when countless millions of people watch their precious retirement assets get devastated by Democrat insanity. Pension funds would also get crushed.

The Dems may not care as they want everyone dependent on government, but if they get back in control they WILL be responsible for the next depression. Where will that get them?

What a pile of bull crap

Trump is saving the republican party

The Republican party will survive, it always has

No one is born a Republican or Democrat, people change over time, evolve. Sure more 18 year olds are “liberals” or “leftists” is because that is all they know, mom and dad paid for the house, food, groceries, bills, etc, so they go to college and learn more leftism. But most outgrow it and become republican/conservative/right of center. The problem I see with republicans is that we don’t define ourselves, we let the media do that, President Trump has started doing this and it has helped.

Winning isn’t easy, leftist ridicule is expected, they don’t understand, some never will because they live in a simple hypocritical world. We will have many republican presidents after Trump and we will win back the house, and gain more senators. Nothing is forever.

You have absolutely NO idea what will happen and who knows WHAT will happen in the next 2 years that could change things in ways we can't foresee!

The republican party had the congress and all they did was fight Trump. Screw them.

This is how the left wins

Not through actual voter fraud

But through the illusion that vote fraud exists, because it keeps moral people home, aka republicans and conservative people because they believe the system is rigged.

Its not, we lost Arizona because of a bad candidate

We did not lose Georgia

Florida got stopped

We need to stick to the facts and look towards 2020

Stop being so down, that is how the left wins

The GOP is hamstrung by the GOPe/"moderate" wing of the party. There is no way for this party to unify because the incompetent GOPe boobs want it their way or the highway. As long as they are lining their pockets and thrown a few crumbs by the Dems, the GOPe could care less what happens to this country. To have any chance of getting this country headed in the right direction, conservatives must first win the battle for control of the GOP.

As for Trump, I thought he would be a shoo-in for a second term, but after this election cycle, I'm not so sure of that. Again, the GOPe seems content to lose, so they may well join hands with the Dems to defeat him.

Thanks and also thanks for posting actual FACTS, which is now, sadly, a rarity here; especially on this dumb thread.

When I was 20 and had flunked out of college, I worked as an apprentice/helper building an Olympic sized swimming pool. It was my job to push the wheelbarrow full of concrete to the men putting it on the sides of the pool. The owner of the pool company was well known for never hiring thieves but he would hire killers released from prison. One day at lunch somebody asked why one of the murderers had killed the other guy in the bar. His simple reply was "he needed killing." So the answer to the question is yes, unless a solution is found as simple as that.We are getting to old to be sent to Socialist reeducation camps.

The only way to stop this is by stopping immigration, deporting all illegals and a complete overhaul of the voting process to prevent fraud.

Read it and weep. Or go buy a house you can’t afford and get an expanded mortgage that will fund all the extras and amenities that you want in your new place. Markets only go up. LOL
