The Rupert Moloch smear machine is out with a new talking point today against Trump I see.

The people are onto the game now and it’s not going to work. We’re not going to support the globalist DeSantis.

Donald Trump was once “very pro-choice” (his own words). He changed his mind on that topic. His actions during his presidency showed a commitment to his new-found pro-life position that suggest that it wasn’t just a convenient political switch. He might have “grown” on this issue in the right direction after seeing the damage the newest iteration of activism on transgenderism has wrought.

Twenty years ago? Donald Jr. Came out last week to make it clear they still support the trans movement.

Trump was a businessman at the time and saw this move as good for business. He was not an ideologue and probably isn’t even today. There’s a difference between a transgender person entering a beauty contestant and transgenders competing in women’s sport.

While obviously better than a Democrat, Trump is a New York Rockefeller Republican at heart

I don't agree. Trump presided as an America-first populist, which is miles ahead of any Rockefeller Republican. I don't care what Trump really believes - I care what he does, and his track record in the White House, while not perfect, was still very good.

You don’t see a difference between being a 1930/1940s Democrat when Texas was a Democrat state versus joining the Democrat Party in the modern homosexual, abortion, gay marriage, feminism, mass immigration, teacher’s unions, federal unions, affirmative action, quotas pro-communist, anti-military, post-1960s radical leftism, McGovern, Obama, Carter, Bill and Hillary years?

Assuming that Reagan voted Democrat, then he only voted for two Democrat presidents, FDR and Truman from 1932 to 1948, he was supporting the Republican party by 1952.

What do you mean by that?

LOL The surest sign of a cuck, and an ignoramous, is when they use ‘alpha male’ as something admirable; the term is *long* out of date in the biological sciences, and only an effeminate wanker wants or admires a Strong Leader’.

Electing a President is hiring a servant; they have a job to do. You sound like a fanboi, looking for a big, strong, well-hung manly man on a white horse; maybe take up worshiping wrestlers and rockstars instead?

I always believed that these people would never stop. Most people believed that feeding the lion a sheep would satiate him forever. I was also right on lockdowns unleashing the inner dictatorial urges of many government officials.

DeSantis is better positioned to take on Biden. Trump would lose to Biden 48% to 45%, the poll found, but DeSantis would beat Biden 48% to 45%.

I know politics is fun, and zingers and memes make grown men laugh.

But this is now bordering on bread and circuses.

Trump and DeSantis (it'll be one of these guys) have to answer just ONE question. How are you going to flip 38+ electoral votes?

We NEED Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona or some combo theirin.

And this is against the backdrop of mail-in voting, which isn't going away.

What Trump or DeSantis did 15 years ago, unless it's a murder, doesn't concern me. But if neither of these guys can tell us how the f he will flip these EC votes, he don't deserve the nomination.

Parenthetically, conservatives who don't demand these guys come back to LEADERSHIP qualities, forestalling the evaporing essence of America, and a tactical way to winning the EC vote, and instead lap up campaigning idiocy, are pawns of the left.

Notice how DemocRATS go back in history to find things Repubs said in the past that contradict what they say today. Repubs can’t be bothered to do the same to RATS.

"Many here are supportive of Trump, and look at his record as president with approval. They look at his record as president, and not so much as what he did years ago with a beauty pageant."

You're spot on. I don't give a crap what he did 50 years, or 11 years ago. It's what he did as President that I care about. He made promises, and he delivered during the four years he was allowed to sit in the Oval Office, despite being constantly attacked, and bombarded with false accusations, lies, innuendoes, lawsuits, investigations, harassment, impeachments, etc. As far as I'm concerned, no other President in the history of this country has ever performed so well, under such raging opposing forces.

Who CARES?

You seem to forget Trump was President and kept his word on this issue and, more importantly, on judges.

[Leep]

What? Next you’ll tell me the Muppets aren’t real.

Is there a point at which old news becomes irrelevant? Henry Hyde at age 60 was said to have made some “youthful indiscretions” when he was forty. Many of us have made “youthful indiscretions” when we were 20.

I moved from IL to GA in 2013 and find a quite different culture here.

For both time, place and other factors, how should we judge what is relevant and what is irrelevant?

[Tell It Right]

I pointed to Trump being a relatively recent Democrat and how much he's changed since then. You're equating that to Dems from the 1930s and 1940s being different from today's Dims. Of course there are differences between Dems of the 1930s and Dems of today. (I say that, but FDR would probably be at home with today's Marxist Dems).

As far as Trump himself being a Dim until a decade ago: Trump himself has changed a lot. For example, he was pro-choice and now he's pro-life. I don't mean that as a criticism. In fact, I don't criticize him over his Dim past. What we got out of Trump as president is what he campaigned on in 2016 with his Republican values; as President he wasn't the 2008 Trump that supported Hillary. To me, knowing the Dim party like he does makes him a powerful ally for us.

And he's the one I want to become next prez. However, that I still wish he'd get rid of some of his big government spending ways.

No presidential candidate has ever given a speech, in which he says, “I am going to carry Pennsylvania Michigan and Wisconsin” in order to win the presidency. No candidate has ever said that he will press issues that are important to only certain States in order to win the presidency.

Behind the scenes, candidates will talk with campaign advisers about strategies to win certain States, but they never publicly give a speech saying they have a plan to carry certain states to get to 270 electoral votes.

So I doubt you will ever hear the speech you are eager to hear from someone.

Is Trump or DeSantis or anybody else talking about using ballot harvesting like the Dims do? So far I've heard only Trump mention it. But that's just it; mention it.

I'll give Trump credit for being almost alone in trying to stop the vote by mail cheat.
