For Donald Trump, politics and entertainment are intertwined and often synonymous. His remarkable success at both makes his latest missteps especially puzzling because Trump is committing the cardinal sin of both: He’s become boring.
The ultimate shock jock is now predictable. Wind him up and watch him throw a garbage can full of insults at anyone who won’t kiss the ring. Ho-hum.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin are getting the Trump treatment now. Both are rising Republican stars, so naturally the former president trashes and demeans them. Can’t be competition for top dog.
Long gone is the time when Trump brought fresh blood to the old and tired Republican Party. “Low energy Jeb” brilliantly ended the career of a nominee-in-waiting, and his demolition of Hillary Clinton saved America from a disaster.
Trump’s was a consequential presidency that was far better for America and its global allies than anything produced by his predecessor or his successor. His Operation Warp Speed delivered a COVID-19 vaccine in record time, America was more prosperous and the world was safer and more stable with him in the Oval Office.
Trump achieved those gains despite a corrupt FBI, a conspiratorial Deep State, a rabid media and impeachment-obsessed Dems. He deserved a second term and, had he let his America First policies do the talking, would have had one.
Even after his reckless efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, enough goodwill remained that victory in a 2024 primary and the general election remained possible. But Trump’s conduct in his post-presidency has been so erratic that a declining slice of voters hungers for his return.

“ taking credit for the election victories of people like Marco Rubio and Kevin McCarthy, as if he had anything at all to do with their safe bet wins”
Rubio has been sending me not texts and emails for months “please send cash.” “I’m in big trouble here”
I’ve never lived in Florida
McCarthy? He didn’t run.
At this point, 216 GOP candidates that Trump endorsed won, 19 lost
BRW, you do know Trump didn’t hand pick candidates, he just endorsed people who chose to run.
The republican party has been useless to America and conservatives for decades. The term “rino” first long, long ago. We started to notice that the party wasn’t really conservative at all. They were just pretending to be in some kind of awful conspiracy against the American people. Some of us want to pretend that Trump is the problem with the republican party. Just the opposite is the case. Trump was the only good thing to happen to this worthless party since Reagan. Good things started happening under his Presidency. For the first time, pro-American conservatives actually had a voice. That’s why the republican party leadership is coming after him now and trying to get rid of him. He’s actually trying to do what they only pretend they want to do. They can’t have that.
so Dave, name one initiative/policy that was only for Trump and not for America... interested where you “see so many” and please be specific.
“… vindicates Trump’s claim that election fraud is rampant in many states.”
That’s clear to anyone brave enough to think critically.
... the light you are looking at is the oncoming freight train! Who is going to stand in the gap? You NeverTrumpers have no spine so just do us a favor and slither away...
“ Yesterday, I read a 2 day old article which said Trump endorsed 25 candidates and 17 won, 2 to be decided. So, 2/3 won. Not bad.”
From Fox- you have to scroll way down when googling- you know that, right? That google is anti MAGA
“At this point, 216 GOP candidates that Trump endorsed won their races Tuesday night, with 19 losing to the Democrat candidate.”
Or are you posting statements tgat you didn’t research?
“ Sorry, it’s football season, so it’s been missed...
Seriously, most don’t pay close attention to politics.”
Is this why the men protecting our country are so scarce?
Pussies
Trump has lost untold millions of supporters with his narcissism and inanity. He would need them all back and more to be a serious contender in ‘24.
I’ve yet to hear/read a strategy of how he’s going to win those he has alienated back - especially if there are viable and less divisive candidate options.
How’s he going to do it?
Lol.
“… have the battle won. Our Republic has been knocked off its feet, as it has many times. I believe that we WILL get up and stand again. Not just my opinion, but the opinion of many. As long as God determines that we will exist, we will.”
We absolutely will win and turn this around.
Seems to me the most important offices in states to target for removal are the Secretaries of State. They are the ones who control elections and the process. As an example, it is Katie Hobbs in AZ who is allowing this dragged out counting/cheat process, as well as what Brad Raffensperger in Georgia did with his consent decree with the Democrat Party.
I think the second thing needed is for State Legislatures enact voting requirements that the elections polling and counting process be staffed with an equal number of registered party poll workers (e.g., the same number of Republicans and Democrats included through the whole process with NO ONE being excluded during actual vote counting).
Doesn't matter now.
With Masters and Laxalt defeated, the Georgia runoff changes nothing.
No, the military has been destroyed through social engineering and police actions of third world shitholes.
(Not sure if you meant military, or just male citizens)
Murdoch can go &@#% himself.
Talk about “losing swing,” what about RINO establishment during the primaries. Why is no one criticizing THEIR impotence at putting their candidates on the ballot instead of the dreaded MAGA candidates? Hmmmmm?
IMO, you can’t blame him for massive, MASSIVE Democrat vote counting, creation and cheating in those critical-danger seats that were up for grabs. All of those elections were stolen by heavy Democrat counties and precincts where they just didn’t care who complains - backed up by MSM, Biden et al and leftist Governors.
For 6 years they have been trying to prove he was dirty just like they are. No luck.
Mission accomplished. They’ve already lost The Senate so now it’s safe to run some ads.
Whatever.
Blustering insults is not the definition of “spine” or “tough”.
It’s just the definition of childish jerk.
