That assumes Trump is leading the GOP. Trump leads his base. The mainstream GOP is cowed and afraid of them, for the moment. I think most in the House and Senate really think he is going to lose in November and are starting to position themselves for life after Trump.

If that isn’t a motivation to get him re-elected I don’t know what is.

We be decidedly woke now. (I already was, like you.)

“...to keep Trump from withdrawing from Afghanistan and Germany.”


In the late 60s I trained to go to Afghanistan with the Peace Corps (alas I got deselected two days before the group left). But besides learning a little Farsi, I learned a lot about Afghanistan and Afghans. They can be wonderful people and very hospitable. But they really, really, really don’t take well to invaders. When the Soviets invaded, I thought to myself, “they won’t last all that long”, and they didn’t.

The Brits also had several ‘Afghan Wars’. In one (the first?) the army negotiated a withdrawal of their troops and followers from Kabul. The Afghans waited until the army got to the Khyber Pass and slaughter them all, except one—men, women and children. Survivors were set to by the women with their knives.

There is absolutely nothing that we can accomplish with our troops there. President Trump is right to correct this mistake. Not our circus, not our monkeys.

When he chooses to relinquish leadership, I have no doubt he will leave a solid successor in place.

Who?

A revolution happened and they completely missed it. They still think and act like it’s 2004 and we’re all still blinded and stupid. Trump. Lifted the curtain and they still don’t know.

After Trump, she can have the GOP. We will be onto a brand new party of Patriotic Americans. The GOP will go the way of the Whigs. Liz and any other Rinos who want it, can have it!

She can try, but most of the country hates her father and most Republicans hate Bush.

"When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier." - Kipling

After what The Pentagon has done regarding the communist lawlessness on our streets and stabbing our president in the back I really don’t care to be too generous with them anymore. I would be for military budget cuts for the first time in my life.

I will stay home. I will no longer care. The old GOP will never have my support.
