You know, you Trumpistas frighten me. Someone says something mildly critical of him, and you go hyper nuclear. I got news for you, my Dad knew Trump in high school. He takes a sh!t just like anyone else. You willing to strap on a suicide vest for your God-king? I voted for Trump in both elections. And you set out on a character assassination campaign, and accuse me of being a troll. Go f*** yourself, douche.
You lot are about as tolerant of mildly differing opinions as those Communist zealots on Twitter.
It seems from your response that you’re not used to ever having anyone disagree with you.
If you think my response was hyper nuclear you obviously haven’t been used to posting to anything but an echo chamber.
You’re the douche slandering a stranger for being mildly critical of Trump. It ain’t about Trump, it’s about the good of the Republic. You know, Dad knew Trump from back when. He voted for Cruz in the 2016 primary. So did I. And then I voted for Trump in the general. I will support the nominee. Period. And I don’t think Trump is the right guy this time around. Would you like my address to send me a mail bomb, since statements like this put you into full “Burn the heretic” mode?
and
I voted for Trump in both elections.
The late Rush Limbaugh used to refer to callers like this as "seminar callers" : they had a canned script that "I'm been a lifelong Republican, but Trump just frightens me etc."
Too bad the Dems have been recycling that script literally since Goldwater. They used it against Reagan too.
I’m not burning the heretic, I’m ridiculing you.
I was a regular listener to Rush, from his early days in the DC market, dick. You do not know me. But you’re sure willing to make assumptions and spout them all over the forum. Your name is gray whiskers, but you sure act like a petulant little teenager.
Agree, Gaffer. However, sooo many people are convinced that he can’t win. They are being told he is a bad candidate by every RINO, every Dem politician, every msm celebrity. Every Hollyweirdo. Normally sensible conservatives will be jumping for a Romney or McCain type with joy in their hearts and when they lose, another precious few years will be lost.
The other side is winning because we are defeating ourselves.
Yes, you’re engaging in sustained, unprovoked attacks on my character because I threatened your world view. Child.
What part of sub- $2.00/gallon gas, no war in Ukraine, low inflation, and record employment wasn't enough for you?
Indeed. The one thing I always use as a litmus test, especially with respect to MAGA or Trump, is if you find yourself on the same side as Democrat leadership, MSM and so-called conservative pundits (like Bill Kristol, etc.) then something is very wrong.
Democrats and the RINO establishment are not our friends; they are only there for power, control and the money they can steal.
Trump’s presidency was great for the economy and the country, sure. He’d have done even better if it hadn’t been stolen from him, sure. But I think he may very well be past his sell-by date, and his paranoid attacks on everyone else in the GOP aren’t helping him. I suppose now you go into full attack mode to try to drive me from this forum, so you can maintain ideological purity, right, Mein Herr? It’s whoever can win the White House. Don’t look now, but DeSantis is out-polling the Hell out of Trump in multiple states. It may be DeSantis’ time, this time around. Don’t look now, but a whole bunch of Trump voters seem to think that way. I’ll give you time to go scream and breathe into a paper bag at the mere suggestion.
Go back to the prior elections:
In the year 2000, it was utterly scandalous and paralyzed the country that the election was drawn out for a month or so, and Gore tried to sue his way into the White House by demanding to be allowed to count different parts of Florida in different ways.
Now do the later elections.
In past elections, (say 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008) we had the following:
2002 -- a year after the 9-11 attacks, and Americans want security, dammit! The GOP gains 8 seats in the House and 2 in the Senate.
2004 -- Presidential Election; the first one after the "Sore Loserman" debacle in Florida in 2000, and the first one after 9-11.
The GOP picks up 3 seats in the House, the Donks lose 2.
The GOP picks up 4 Senate seats, the Donks lose 4.
Bush wins 31 states, but a mere 286 electoral votes, with a bare 50.7% of the popular vote.
2006 -- the Midterm elections for Bush's second term.
The Dems pick up the House, gaining 31 seats, while the GOP loses 30.
The Dems get the Senate, too, winning 6 seats.
This despite the presence of "The Architect" Karl Rove who brags about his detailed knowledge of the ground game.
But (as we will see) he learned his lesson, after a fashion.
2008 -- the annointing of Teh One.
Obama wins 365 electoral votes in 28 states + a single Congressional district in Nebraska. (Nebraska??!!)
The Donks extend their lead in the House, gaining 21 seats.
And in the Senate, they run the table, gaining 8 seats.
The election is marked by numerous unchallenged shenanigans, including voter fraud (voting by felons, votes found in car trunks) in Minnesota, and infamous re-counts in Washington State.
The only thing preventing a total rout is Sarah Palin, who is roundly condemned by the establishment, but targeted by the Dems, after being trashed by advisors lent by the Rockefeller wing of the GOP (as detailed later in Going Rogue).
So, let's look at the record of the Establishment GOP since the first election of George W. Bush (where the victory was so narrow that the Dems complained he was "selected, not elected." (And that, over Clinton's hand-picked successor.)
House: +8 +3 -30 -21 net --> -40
Senate: +2 +4 -6 -8 net --> -8
Heckuva job, Karl Rove.
Compare that to the Tea Parties:
House: +65
Senate: +6
But since then, the GOP has doubled down on stabbing its base in the back.
We're done with that.
Nobody seems to talk about the Trump economic miracle. The old folks home aka Free Republic doesn't think that is big deal. It is and will be again.
It’s also Schlichter who in the recent article pointed out that Trump’s time may be over. I’m a big fan of the Colonel’s, and more often than not, I agree with him. I have been discussing with my friends about Trump’s chances, and even the biggest fans of his say it may be time for a re-evaluation. As to McConnell, I was telling a Kentuckian friend of mine months ago that they need to ditch him. Shrug. It is what it is.
But Kari Lake "lost". While 30% of the tabulators in deep red areas malfunctioned and thousands turned away, and "Box 3" ballots were "accidentally" mixed in with already-counted ballots.
TOTALLY Trumps' fault.
Blame Linda Grahmenesty for proposing a Federal anti-abortion bill which he KNEW would never get voted on, or pass, to fire up the easily maniupulated single women vote.
Blame McCuckold for spending millions to attack a challenger to Murkowski, and not funding the GOP Senate Candidate in AZ; and pulling millions in advertising from Buldoc in New Hampshire in late October, when normies were first starting to pay attention.
Get rekt, infiltrator troll.
OOOoohhhh, I’m an “infiltrator troll”. How exciting. You’re a real piece of work.
Be aware that every Arizona election integrity law that failed in the past two years, was torpedoed by Republican State Senator Rusty Bowers and or Senator Michelle Ugenti-Rita.
The system could have been fixed. RINOs stopped that system repair, leaving us with the exact same 2020 rules that SecState Katie Hobbs invented.
And then Hobbs ran for Governor.
But all you can do is say “Blame Trump”
Get lost.

I do not believe I said “blame Trump”. That wasn’t in my thought process, and hasn’t been, except a possible peripheral consideration which I need to examine more fully over time. There was skulduggery, sure. There was also a massive break to the left by single women and under 30’s. But I guess my reasoned, and fairly cautious judgement on this whole depressing situation is enough to warrant a sustained and prolonged series of personal attacks on my character, merely for stating an opinion, rather mildly. Shove it up your 4th point of contact, @sshole.
