“ the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."
You make great points. Tucker is also correct as follows. Crime and the border are two issues that Americans agree with by large margins. Republicans need to remind viewers of those issues as well.
But right not the GOP has no issue they are pushing.
As for Tucker, he’s brilliant but on a few issues I hate him.
The fact that Trump quite willingly dove head first into the swamp to rush a warp-speed, No-immunity-Except-for-BigParma vax is going to hurt him over the next 2 years unless he finds a way to pivot on that topic. People with an ability to reason understood the crookedness of the covid scam from the beginning. Much of the rest of the nation is now waking up with a covid bureaucracy hangover with eyes somewhat more open.
With the recent actions by CDC in this regard, it is quite possible the Dems will even pivot first. Then they will blame Trump, rightfully so, for the rushed and now obviously worthless and harmful SwampVax.
There is no intelligent way to spin Trump's involvement as a good thing. I have a large capacity for forgiveness, but it requires repentance - not The Don's strong suit.
Or not
The average age of death in my family history is 86.
Thomas shows no signs of being a heavy drinker. His weight is up. Does not show mental decline
If I were going to bet I’d bet on Biden
Then a governor Mastriano gets to appoint his replacement.
Yes, if Trump is the nominee, I expect the Democrats to blame Operation Warp Speed and “Big Pharma” for all the injuries, deaths and problems from the vaccines on Trump.
Tried to warn you fools…
But you all decided to listen to flappy headed idiots like Hannity.
OZ cannot win PA, not a chance in hell.
MCCormick may have won with a red tide at his back,
Barnett was the one who absolutely could have won with a red wave behind her…
OZ… not a chance in hell this guy can win statewide as a Republican.
Gave a Senate seat away without a fight with this turd.
You were warned
Funny, the same thing was said about Trump.
You clearly let others tell you who is "electable" and who is not.
The rest of us try to think for ourselves.
You’re right he has to figure out how to walk it back or it will be used against him.
I think he comes out and says he was fooled or conned however he wishes to say it. After all he’s not a medical man\epidemiologist, etc., he the trusted the “experts” as we all did (well most of us!).
That will be hard for him, admitting he was wrong or even fooled.
Except that I was there, and know the whole story. Trump sat on the fence until Mastriano pulled away, and then jumped in front of his parade. His endorsement was meaningless.
No doubt. Even Dems will use Truth if it hurts Trump.
[Dems will use gloves/mask when handling Truth, so as not to get infected by it]
I'm a Republican and I blame him already. He needs to repent.
"...if Trump is the nominee..."
Some here and many of the Sundance drum circle bash Desantis for not rushing to Trump's aid quickly or vigorously enough. Though it's really The Don who is slow to congratulate Ron II for his routinely awesome FL good works.
The Don is scared of Ron. Because if Ron desires, he can make Don/SwampVax look like Bush/WMD - easily. Good intentions aside, monumental failure is still monumental failure.
Please, stop this crapola… bad enough you fell for the establishment propaganda back during the primary…. But now that you have egg on your faces from your stupidity backing OZ and having to watch it play out exactly like those of us who warned you said it would doubling down on your foolishness is beyond dumb.
OZ never had any shot at PA statewide as a Republican, utterly off brand.
Barnett was the MAGA candidate and she absolutely could have won, OZ not any shot in hell.
But you foolishly bought into the absolute nonsense sold to you by mental midgets like Hannity.
Lived in PA for closing on 40 years and I’ve never seen the GOP establishment remotely attack any democrat like they did Barnett in the closing weeks of the primary… ever. That tells you all you need to know about how corrupt the PA GoP is…
Barnett not only could win, but if she did she would have been a true threat to the Uniparty of PA and they knew it.
He was lied to, no doubt.
That is no excuse to me, because a 12yo could have known that. He is unlikely to do so, but I want him to admit that the whole concept of a warp-speed, BigPharma / BigRegulate orgy was NOT the way to address an already govt-made crisis. Using the swamp to fix the swamp is like Dems using racist policy to fix racism.
Trump is no great thinker in terms of principle-driven policy. And can actually be quite bad at domestic policy in general - SwampVax, TrumpRyanCare, etc.
Let's admit it. He's also not a great coalition builder or thought leader. The Don is a destroyer.
I'm OK with that, there is a use for that. He destroyed the Clintons early on and that alone warrants a place on Mt Rushmore. Maybe just shave Roosevelt's mustache and add the hair to his head - he's already giving Lincoln a stare that appears to blame Abe for Liz.
The Bushes, the Cheneys, the long-Cheney sickness known as McCain and more. The Paris treaty, the Iran deal, the Chinese trade banquet... this list goes on. Seriously, the Navy never had a destroyer this powerful.
And when he's not destroying things which should be destroyed, then he is playing the victim. Which I'm also OK with because it is true.
Now, if he somehow pivots in such a way that he is a victim of the Swamp/Pharma beast and puts destroying it at the top of his 2024 agenda, then I'll even donate to his campaign.
It could have waited until 2023. And many on here cheered the timing, some who now realize it F’ed us this year!
You were also cheering Palin, who was a noose around the neck of the McCain campaign. Todd Akin’s (and Richard Murdouch’s) gaffes not only cost them very easily winnable races but hurt all other Republicans nationwide as well! Sharron angle and O’Donnell lost races that their opponents would have won going away! Too many people on here want candidates that agree with them 100% no matter how many bats*** crazy comments or social media posts they make. They call it POLITICS for a reason. Barnette also does not have any additional fundraising pipelines that Oz doesn’t have. At least McCormick would have received money from the RNC!
Trump was running nationwide...Barnette wasn’t. PA is not AL!
Yet Trump won PA.
By like 10,000 votes against a northeast elitist that people in PA hated! Fetterman is actually liked in the state and people relate to him. You need a good candidate that is going to point out why they shouldn’t. Do you people just make generalities all the time or do you really not understand how politics work??? And PA dodnt go for Trump in 2020 (we can talk about fraud but the numbers are there).
Local politics is much different than national politics!
