They do hate Israel, which has valjar’s prints all over it, especially as vis-a-vis Iran.

Here we are getting rumblings of serious thought by Israel of preempting Iran’s nuclear designs; and just this morning we read that Israel’s urgent request for two refueling tanker aircraft; but the urgent request is rebuffed by the Cadaver in Chief, saying delivery would be 2-3 years down the road.

When seconds matter, the police are only minutes away (I believe the saying goes).

I voted for trump both times. But, his time to be POTUS has passed. If he runs again the Dems will probably keep both the presidency and the senate.

Same here. I'm also not confident he could win in 2024.

He wins when people who hate him (of which there are many) feel forced to hold their noses and vote for him because they loath the opposition even more. This worked in 2016 against Hillary, not so much in 2020 against Biden. It'll only work in 2024 if the Dems are dumb enough to run Kamala Harris (and they very well might be).

I agree with the premise of this article and I'm looking for a younger, more disciplined MAGA candidate to carry the torch.

most reasonable people

Just the opposite. A reasonable person wouldn't see poll after poll either showing massive double digit leads or close to 90% Republican approval rating and think to themselves "it doesn't matter".

The only way your claim would begin to make sense is if Trump was an untested fad candidate who hasn't already been elected President. A candidate who could be exposed and crushed in a debate or by a single mistaken word.

Obviously there is nothing DeSantis can say or do to "expose" Trump.

Ted Cruz

Ted Cruz had to go on an apology tour taking photos with Trump and bending the knee. Every other candidate who refused is gone, which you intentionally ignore. Even then, Cruz still just barely won his election, doing substantially worse than Abbot.

holding his own

Only in your anti-Trump dreams, troll. His numbers are as consistent with Pence and the other lovers who will never beat Trump. That said, DeSantis isn't a NeverTrumper and isn't going to run against him anyway.

Yeah...I think I caught the beginning of that "apology tour" in front of the TX delegation after the GOP convention. Cruz sounds real apologetic (lol).

Texas Delegation Breakfast

Every other candidate who refused is gone

Marco Rudio...still around....Rand Paul...still around... Chris Cristie...still around.

Even Jebito is still hovering somewhere in the background like the ghost of Christmas past.

Speaker Paul Ryan isn't around, but he left Nancy Pelosi to take his place...after failing to fund the border wall, a signature piece of the Trump agenda.

Looking at the current infrastructure bill winding its way through Congress, its hard to understand how Trump couldn't finagle $5 billion dollars funding in 2017.

You are playing stupid. Aside from Paul who is obviously not an enemy of Trump despite you including him in the list, neither Rubio nor Christie have any shot at ever being President. They're in the single digits support wise and Christie in particular is hated by a super majority of the Republican party. He is, to use your own language, a "ghost."

This is clearly what I meant, even though you are attempting to claim that a politically irrelevant person merely existing is proof that opposing Trump isn't deadly. If Trump's enemies aren't politically irrelevant, then they--like so many already--have retired or will soon retire. And

Either way, lumping in DeSantis with these irrelevant people makes DeSantis look even worse.

Oh, and I forgot to add:

Obviously Ted Cruz is going around calling himself one of Trump’s biggest allies, posting photos of himself meeting Trump in his office, etc.

You’ve been around long enough on FR to remember what the reaction was on this forum to Cruz’s pettiness during the election. It wasn’t pretty, and my point on Cruz’s severely depressed voter turnout compared to Abbot still stands.

If Cruz had remained a NeverTrumper, he would have lost his Senate seat in Texas.

"Trump Knocked the Door Down; Let Someone Else Walk Through It" doesn't credit the American people enough with knowing what is best. It only serves to allow voters to imagine somebody other than President Trump as our next President, and that we didn't open the door for him.

"...younger, more disciplined..."...LOL! That's one huge oxymoron, and if you know any more, please feel free to share!

Your political takes here are simplistic and naive.

Chris Christie was a confidant of President Trump both before and after he was elected President. Christie was offered jobs in the first Trump administration, he was Trump's coach for the first debate against Joe Biden, and there is little doubt he would have been offered a job in the second Trump administration. The difference between Christie and Jeb Bush couldn't be greater...no comparison.

Beyond that...the notion that polls taken today offer meaningful insight on the 2024 race is just dumb. The electorate isn't focused on that and no one has even announced they're running.

Note you’re just making assertions without really answering anything I’ve written here. In fact, your post is really just a repeat of your original one, other than the pumping up of Christie.

As for the new material, Trump regularly brings in millions of viewers online, packed stadiums, long endless lines. I believe he packed O’Reilly’s events just recently making it the highest watched political show ever.

Meanwhile, you the retard thinks Christie stands a chance lol.

I took a look at Suzy’s Twitter and she has Maga in her name and, unlike you, is a patriot who loves Trump.

Her not liking a particular O’Reilly venue doesn’t change the fact they’ve been packed with devoted Trump people.

By the way, this is maybe the second or third time you’ve answered me by making off-point irrelevant responses. You even said “not everyone agrees”. You needed Suzy to say she hates Trump and that no one attended the event in order for you to say she disagrees with me.

Are you so retarded that you do not know what disagreement looks like?

DJT was and still is the best President for the people we have ever had. God Bless him if he runs in 2024. I’m IN 100%. No question.
