About the post below: We’ve got the Umpires and Referees putting the kibosh on any kind of debate in these Trump Rally threads even though I think an informed debate would be beneficial to the onlookers. Nevertheless, if you want to have a debate, which I don’t mind at all, please FReepMail me or pick another thread. However, if you want to have a friendly discussion, I don’t think the umps will stop that. But because of the rule-makers here, I won’t engage in any debate online on this thread. Thank you.
So to begin, God bless Trump for his love of America, his love of Israel, and his love of God and also his stand against the politically correct delusional lying Left. That is why I love Trump.
However, a change needs to happen. Assuming he is elected in 2024, he needs to think about the post-Trump era beginning in 2028. Trump has gotten most things done by basically dictating, most of which is unconstitutional. He’s reversed the “bad” unconstitutional acts of the Left with the “good” unconstitutional acts. But that is still the Rule of Man and America’s freedom is based on being run by the Rule of Law of the Constitution.
Trump needs to begin to relinquish dictatorship and begin the restoration of America’s unique and wonderful constitutional decentralized governance among the feds and the states and in the three branches of the feds. Good governance is slow governance, but Trump is used to doing things quickly. Dictatorships do things quickly, but America is a Free Constitutional Republic, not a dictatorship.
Having said that, the key is who and why he picks his VP who will presumptively be elected President in 2028. If he truly loves America, then he must embrace the Constitution and constitutional individual freedom from government excess. His VP must be ready, willing, and able to begin the job of dismantling the $3 trillion, 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the feds and support the constitutional sovereignty of the states. God help us.
I believe Divine Providence still watches over our beloved country which is filled with many of his people - born-again Christians. So why would Divine Providence allow this fraud in 2020?
One reason I think is that it got rid of Pence who would have been the Presidential frontrunner in 2024 - a disaster like Reagan’s Bush.
Again and to repeat, the issue now is who and why Trump picks his VP who will be the presumptive frontrunner for the Presidency in 2028 after Trump’s wildly successful term.
Therefore, I’ll repost this: IMO, these are the qualifications for Trump’s VP because he will HAVE to be the one to continue the fight to MAGA in 2028 and beyond...
HE must be a non-politician fighter like Trump and totally committed to
- restoring our Free Constitutional Republic,
- immunity to the attacks of the Left while delivering fatal blows to the Left himself,
- dismantling the 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the feds,
- reinstating the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended as the Supreme Law of the Land, and
- reinstating State sovereignty, encouraging states to NOT take federal funding but become independent.
Who meets these high but necessary standards? I don’t know. Ramaswamy is the only guy that I’ve heard actually talk about these things but people seem to think he’s no good for other reasons.
Besides Ramaswamy, I know of no one else who is committed to much less voicing this critical issue.
I’m generally against picking a woman since generally they are equivocal, tend to not be accountable or reasonable and in the main belong at home taking care of their family.
Jesus, help us and help Trump find the right guy to advance restoration of our Free Constitutional Republic. Amen.
Quite the thought-provoking post, Jim.
I am perplexed when it comes to Vivek. I love his courage, his amazingly quick processing and ability to respond in two seconds as if he’s pondered for two days. I’m jealous. I have gone so far as to wonder if he’s actually on Team Trump. It’s as if President Trump has a proxy on the scene (including debates) to put forth all of his points, and, frankly, with a little more finesse than does Trump.
I have had some thoughts about women leading in politics as well. I guess that may sound odd coming from a woman, but, over the years I’ve watched women be ruled by emotion rather than logic. Having said that, I think of Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir, Michelle Bachmann, Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin (although she’s a train wreck in different ways), Monica Crowley, Kari Lake and others who are quite remarkable. One thing I have noticed about some women.....it’s honorable and noble to be dedicated to your family and home when it suits them, but if you suggest that this is their role, they can easily go full-blown feminist faster than the speed of light, even though the role is a cherished and desirable one.
I have pondered the VP pick lately (not that it means anything to anybody lol). I hear Tucker Carlson’s name bandied about, which just sounds silly to me. At this point, if asked who I think would carry on the fight, I would have to say Matt Gaetz. Rand Paul, possibly, but he’s been in DC for so long....
Tell me who you think would be best to carry the torch.
It kinda reminds me of 2016. We posted every Trump Rally. It was before he had a lock on he nom.
About 25% on this thread were die hard Ted Cruz with a few Marco Rubio.
The Cruzbots were mean and obnoxious.
Eventually we coalesced.
We have now 10% still liking Desantis.
I just ignore them.
The Trump rally’s are to have fun.
But your point is well taken.

I’ve been on rally threads through the years, I don’t remember freedom of speech being squashed. Ideas shouldn’t scare anyone, at least not the type of people that support Trump.
