And why did the Obamacare vote fail? Because of McCain.

And why was McCain so petulant and pissy that he voted that way? Trump had insulted him publicly about his military service, and he was getting payback.

I’m not giving McCain a pass; he was a small man who couldn’t overlook an insult, but Trump’s petty, nasty, PUBLIC criticism of McCain is the proximate cause of why Obamacare is still the law of the land.

Trump lost Georgia for the same reason—he just had to publicly berate Kemp for opening GA too soon, in his opinion, after lockdown. He couldn’t pick up the phone and call Kemp and ask, no, he has to take to Twitter and make a permanent enemy of a governor whose state votes he desperately needed, so Kemp looked the other way while Raffensberger aided the steal. Again, petty revenge on Kemp’s part, and Trump is likely facing indictment in Fulton Co. because of it.

What Trump still needs to learn is that he’s not the only politician with an outsized ego, and chastise in PRIVATE, for the love of God.

And there is absolutely no evidence that Trump has learned that vital lesson.

I completely disagree with you. If there had been 60 Republicans in the Senate at the time, they would have found ten more @ssholes to vote against that bill for one reason or another.

McCain does not deserve your forbearance. He was a nasty biter vindictive small man his whole career. Trump did not insult McCain. He told the truth. The truth is not an insult.

It is very interesting that you blame Trump when Raffensberger was covering up malfeasance, taping and doctoring a phone call illegally and leaking lies to the press.
What does it say about Kemp that he “looked the other way”? It says to me that Kemp must be dirty too and that Trump had spoken to Kemp and knew that the only chance was to call him out publicly, to put on the heat. Without knowledge of actual events and circumstances it is very arrogant to portray that you know better than Trump and if he had done things different you know what the outcome would have been.

That is a very big assumption.

We have lost the understanding of the ways of a warrior. A man who will stand up to things. None of us like conflict, not even warriors, But it is something that NEEDS TO BE DONE.

I would encourage you to print the following out, read it often and let your lips move. Why do I say that? Because reading it out loud, slows your thinking down enough to get the full flavor.

We need more warriors, we need to understand warriors.

What is the difference between a sheep dog and a wolf? They look and act the same to the sheep.

I think Trump has shown us his heart. Look past the media.

MAGA

Is true what you say about the Trump-McCain issue. Trump was wrong to say it. McCain was wrong to ruin America’s healthcare system because he was a whiny little thin-skinned bitch. He could survive months/years as a POW, but not one 10-second verbal insult?
