Because he was one of the most effective presidents of my lifetime, despite almost every denizen of the swamp doing everything humanly possible to thwart him.

How a “pundit” who makes a damn good living analyzing and commenting on politics etc his entire life can be so friggen’ wrong.

If anything has been laid bare these past several years its how ignorant and out of touch the entire DC establishment is, from its politicians to its bureaucrats to its media.

Trump listened to us. Its that simple.

They just don’t get it. Most of us who vote for Trump are voting for a capable administrator who shares our values and love of country. To me, and many like me, Trump isn’t a role model, he’s not my buddy, he’s someone I see as an excellent hire.

We hire Presidents based on their competence, leadership, track record, and so on. The fit of the candidate’s resume to the job.

Liberals hire based on feelings, appearances, and hatreds of people who do not share their radical religious values. The fit of the candidate’s emotional appeal to their feelings of how the job should be done.

Watch any TV commercial. It portrays an alien America, an America as foreign as an Amazon tribe. I don't see my family or friends in TV commercials. I only seen alien freaks.

Goldberg is in reality describing himself and the rest of the spineless Rhinos.

So if you had a choice between twelve gold bars and 8 gold bars you’d choose 8, right?

Recall the 40* of Republican congressmen who retired prior to the 2018 mid terms opening up suburban seats. Recall the vicious 7x24 negative press Trump got before the mid terms. Its not surprising the Dems flipped the house.

Every day it becomes clearer that there was massive cheating during the 2020 election. Zuckerberg basically bribed the vote counters with his 400 million contributions in swing states. There was a massive ballot harvesting effort. Illegal votes were manufactured. Election laws were illegally set aside to allow fake mail in ballots to be counted. Without cheating Trump would have handily won reelection. Republicans picked up seats in 2020. How does that happen if cheating did not occur?

Because he doesn't hate us.

It is not that difficult to understand.

But if it were between Desantis and Trump, I would take Desantis.

If you had more maturity you would not think that.

Your definition of Trump is one of the best I have seen.
I’m definitely voting for him again, if he’s the nominee.

Bernard Goldberg has written actual political books that people bought and read.

Let that sink in.

This guy hasn't got the political brains God gave to gophers.

He doesn't understand:

1. That Paul Ryan DELIBERATELY handed the House to the Democrats in 2018. and

2. That the 2020 "election" was so blatantly stolen that it's beyond question.

Paul Ryan lost the House on purpose because neocons hated Trump and his supporters.

Correct. Ryan did it deliberately.

They’re just all scared stiff about the possibility of PDJT becoming POTUS again. They’ve all outed themselves, they’re exposed for all to see.

If PDJT becomes POTUS again he’ll have no need to have any restraint, he’ll be a wrecking ball to all the dirty deeds that go on and they all know it.

...all the more reason to vote for him.

I’ll happily vote for Trump again but it’s a day dream to think his second term would be any different than his first. Nobody in the swamp is afraid of him. They will do what they want again. The power of POTUS is greatly reduced without the support of a political party

But it is relentless in its wish to CONTROL us.

Which is why those who like Trump, vote for Trump. And it is why those who wish to control us are so freaked out about Trump. He is not one of Them.

Republicans were always afraid of winning and having to do what their supporters wanted. Hopefully this won’t happen during the mid terms but we shall see.
