You’re acting like someone who wasn’t around for 2015/16 campaign..

Triggered by Campaigning Trump.

Fans of the likes of Kasich,Cruz,Rubio,Bush,Carson,Christie,Santorum, Paul, Fiorina, Gilmore, Huckabee, Graham,Jindal,Walker,Perry, Pataki, etc, had to put up with Trump..

Many of those had fans here and around the country.

Trump was kinder to some than others, but he was in it, to win it..
That hasn’t changed. Maybe some of the names will change.

Donald Trump has always been handsome. He can’t help getting older.

I think we may have to agree to disagree there. Even when young, Trump was never my type.

After all he has done for you and for us I think he deserves loyalty and support.

What exactly has he done apart from appointing 3 pro-life Supremes? Has he fired Fauci? Do we have a big, beautiful border wall? Did he balance the budget? I'm not saying he's done nothing, but he has definitely underperformed relative to what he promised he would do. Just like a career politician.

Whether Trump, DeSantis or Cruz is the nominee to hold the fort against marauding Communist barbarian woke trash we have to unite behind them someday.

Agree. As you can tell, I prefer DeSantis because I think he has a better chance of winning over independent voters. But if Trump is the nominee I'll suck it up and vote for him.

Mastriano was running far right and strongly anti-abortion. The Democrats ran a campaign ad in the primary that made Mastriano look good, and so he ended up winning the primary. Mastriano is the one the Shapiro camp wanted to run against, so Shapiro proceeded to run as a centrist Dem, and he won the race easily.

Ignorant of 2015/2016?

Which of the 17 were you all in for?

Was it one from your home state of Florida?
Jeb Bush?
Marco Rubio?
Or were you all in for Trump but have since come to see the error of your ways?

I think the Democrats will want to keep as many flawed and out-of-step Republican candidates around as they can, and I think you can look for ads being run in these candidates favor in the Republican primaries in an effort to load up the GOP with the most unappealing candidates possible. That way the Democrats will stand a much better chance of capturing the center in the general election.

Furthermore, I think it’s going to work. Leadership is still pussyfooting around with Santos (who absolutely is a national security risk), and the magic lady parts lobby is still in the driver’s seat on messaging.

I agree.
We ran some flawed candidates in 22, some crazy ones too. I can’t believe we defend the likes of Santos. We are destroying ourselves from within.

Infighting FR posts are ruining my last hope of some people to like and admire. I live in an 85% always all Dem region (SW Michigan).

As I binge watch crime shows daily I am exposed to the fine line between screenplay fiction and the really similar people around here. They just haven’t been caught yet. Here, though, the judges will let them go anyway (Mich.State U. killer was a one hour and 15 min. drive from here).

The Democrats are always united. The roughly 40% of us who are basically conservative are fighting like schoolboys in the elementary school playground.

We do not need Trump vs. DeSantis in a futile self destructive spite battle between two elks who will be found thawing in the spring, their antlers locked together as they starved to death.

Can’t there be more than my estimate of a few good people who will stop the Commie takeover? Commies control the news media, the social media, schools at all levels from K-12 through post graduate, pseudo justice system including the soft on crime courts, US House, Senate and President and many state legislatures.

As the criminal Rodney King said confronting the cops “Why can’t we all just get along?” Without sacrificing basic integrity and closely held beliefs, we can unite as much as possible battle the Dems in a common cause.

And you have every right to enjoy..

Be warned, though, since you obviously were in a coma for the 2015/16 campaign..

Whoever is perceived as the biggest threats to Trump, whether real or imagined, is a target for Trump to focus on.

Today, that’s your governor..
Well, not today.

Today. Nikki Haley is getting a little..

The more the merrier!

I agree being a neocon is absurd in light of the last two decades, yet here we are, with people praising clowns like John Bolton.
Don’t be confused about who those people are, they let you know.
