"Trump can’t get out of his own way."

When the winds of change are against him, his cape gets in the way.

I’m fine with the House being shuttered.

Ditto that. All the way through the debt ceiling vote suspense date.

” What I don’t support is allowing this to continue onward,” Trump said.”

Yesterday, he said to let it play out.

“.....they can do something about it at a later date” says our former President whom I support wholeheartedly supported twice but here he is WRONG AGAIN by thinking he can work with the swamp creatures. This is getting tiresome if you don’t even have the ability to separate yourself from the very same establishment that has done EVERYTHING in their power to destroy Trump! This is either willful ignorance, incompetence or both!! Either way, there’s no WAY to ever get this country back on track with people with NO PLAN to turn this around! Sad day indeed for our country and the Republican Party that should really be dissolved at this point and start anew from scratch!!

Trump is playing a dangerous game by getting involved in this vote.
He only needs to alienate a part of the GOP base and he will get slaughtered
In 2024.

Totally agree!

“ No, now is the time to extract reasonable demands from him, nothing will ever happen “later”. ”

I don't trust McTurd at all and the fact he won't make any concessions to real conservatives demonstrates we don't really need him at all. He'll just sabotage anything good or meaningful to help libtards.

Screw McTurd

He already has alienated a part of his base. They will come back if he wins the primary but that won’t be enough to carry general.

President Trump is now standing against all of the brave American patriots that he helped create. Well said. He’s turned on DeSantis too, who was a member of this same small outspoken conservative group when he was in Congress.

Yep, name calling like Desanctimonious , even I am getting tired of crap like that. Talk about infighting.

He lost my support when he pushed the clot shots. Now, they are proven to have been a hoax, ineffective with some very harmful effects, including death.

That said, he may “ redeem” himself if as he stated in the past, “ Why is nobody mentioning Peace and negotiations “ in Biden’s Ukie war.

Of course, even when we win we lose. I swear they coined the phrase "Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" for the GOPe.

Exactly. Don’t forget the past “promises” by Boehner, Hastert and Ryan.

Trump destroyed the GOP.

Remember, some speculated that was his goal. From his recent blaming of pro life Republicans to this, I think it may have been.

I am wondering if Trump is a closet masochist, considering how much McCarthy has consistently stabbed him in the back.

The definition of masochist:

1. a person who derives sexual gratification from their own pain or humiliation.

Boehner. McCarthy could have replaced him in 2015 but withdrew at the last minute for still unclear reasons. Some suggested he was concerned he would only barely get to 218. Ended up with Ryan who didn’t want the job.

Mixed feelings here. He’s not all we would like, but it’s time to move forward. What concessions are critical? Narrow the list and move on.
