“I think he would have gotten more support ... if he had not gone scorched earth on his rivals during the primaries”
I’ve said this often. He made too many enemies who normally would’ve and could’ve been allies. McCain was a traitorous SOB, but Trump’s put-down of him about getting caught in the Vietnam war hurt him bigly.
I can’t go there with you Mayflower Madam. Your analysis is flawed. Those people would never have helped Trump because his success would have put an end to their graft and parasitism. Calling them out was Trump’s greatest gift to America. It was uncomfortable but as the scales fell from long dimmed eyes Americans have awoken & pushed back.
You can’t go along with the old boy network without betraying the American people. It’s not a question of how nicely you point out the cheating and double dealing. The cheaters & double dealers will still move to destroy you.
If you are being mugged (and the American people are and were being mugged) you yell as loud as you can and speak up about what’s being done. This is truly a fight to the death. Anyone not up to speed on that has not been watching the left trying to destroy the America way of life & Americans.
