Somehow I suspect one vaccine was substituted for the other. Think about how the Democrats were all adamant about not taking a vaccine Trump was involved, and then out of nowhere comes a vaccine they were all willing to take (presumably) and force on the rest of all mankind. Not to mention, the European Union all of sudden wants to put the developers of that vaccine on Euro money . . .

Very accurate. Trump could be a great force…if he doesn’t run and if he stops the nasty personal attacks on his rivals that ended up depriving him of a lot of support in the GOP down the line when he really needed it in the White House.

Trump won more votes the second go around than the first one. Won almost all of the bellweather counties. Won Florida and Ohio. Flipped Hispanics across the country to Republican, especially in Florida.

But supposedly Biden won more votes than Obama while winning even fewer counties than him, winning the most votes in American history, while Trump also expanded his votes by millions.

This bullshit narrative by the trolls about Trump and his "nasty attacks," and supposedly being toxic and radioactive, with anecdotes of idiots saying they're "tired of the non-stop media attacks" (as if that wouldn't happen to any Republican running) on this site needs to stop. It just isn't factual on any level.

Investigate, find the guilty, yes…but we have incredibly urgent problems now

You think the greatest act of voter fraud this nation has ever seen, putting a fraudulent and dull-brained usurper, is something to just stop mentioning?

You guys need to back into hiding. You see these Establishment threads pumping DeSantis and you suddenly get the guts to spout such nonsense.

That is not true. Take at look at the process by which McConnell went from not even allowing a confirmation hearing on John Ratcliffe to ramming him through the approval process as quickly as I’ve ever seen. Trump could have done that every time. Rick Grennell, who was forced down McConnell’s throat, was the only person in Trump’s cabinet, including Trump, to actually kick DS ass. The point I’m making is Trump blew it. If, as you say, the buck in Trump’s administration stopped on McConnell’s desk, I rest my case.

"Are your alleged "Trumpian" DeSantis people maybe little kids?"

No working and retired brilliant conservative men.

I think you just happened to find 4 retards, and not an indication of burgeoning DeSantis support.

I think I've had enough, these are my friends. One retired octogenarian college prof, that had to hide his conservatism it for years and 2 accomplished pilots and one a retired engineer the other in an interesting career. A centrist friend was the forth, successful in a career tangent to manufacturing.

Pretty high up on the Murray Bell Curve they are imho, maybe they are pretty good at reading the stitches on the fastball...

Trump would win the GOP nomination but could he win over the independent vote in the general election?

You’re claiming that Trump could have usurped the advice and consent clause. The only Constitutional way for a President to get appointees through without that is recess appointments.

How many independents were in the 73 million legitimate votes of 2020?

I will never believe that that Gropin’ Joe got 80+ million votes. NOTHING WILL EVER convince me that ‘20 election wasn’t rigged. That sentiment extents to the rigged Democrat ‘20 primary ( and the ‘16 primary ).

‘That’s a very important question in a presidential election.’

questions like these are rhetorical; obviously, they are answerable only by speculation...so, possibilities include Desantis winning both GA and AZ, 27 EV’s in 2024, WI and MI, another 25, and in a best case scenario, PA, with 19...71 ev’s in total...Trump lost by 74, so still work to do...

as for the Romney losses you mention, Desantis would win FL, and likely IA and OH, 52 total ev’s...

Notice you defended their intelligence but not the objection that put their intelligence into question: that there is no evidence that the constant media demonization of our candidates would somehow stop with Trump gone. It has been going on for decades with every Republican President we've had, getting worse year after year as the media gives up on pretending to be objective.

If DeSantis runs for Prez, we will lose Florida. DeSantis barely won against the Democrat, Gillum, an arrested drug addict homosexual. Florida is ripe with corruption. I am in Miami at the moment.

I’m not sure that’s a good example to use. Ratcliffe was a sitting U.S. Congressman who had the full support of establishment GOP hacks like Richard Burr and John Cornyn on the Senate Intelligence Committee, so I’m not convinced the guy was nearly as much of a MAGA player as you’d think.
