There is so much ammunition to use against him - it will be as fun to watch as when DeSantis held up the poop map of San Francisco as DeSanis wiped the floor with Newsom during their debate.

Democrats rage at Trump’s every move but offer no real alternative—only fury, obstruction, and failed policies voters have already rejected.
The Pavlovian Left goes berserk at the mere prospect of each new Trump initiative.
Its escalating reactive venom and hysteria are calibrated to the success of Trump’s latest policy.
Yet the new hard-left Democratic Party offers no counter-agenda to explain its furor.
Still less do Democrats attempt bipartisan efforts to craft shared legislation.
Take foreign policy.
Democrat senators trashed the recent Trump-Putin Alaskan summit as a failure. Then they became depressed when, just days later, an entourage of European leaders and President Zelensky of Ukraine suddenly flew to the White House.
The Euros praised Trump for offering some sort of negotiated pathway to peace after over three years of war and some 1.5 million dead, wounded, missing, and captured on both sides—on Europe’s doorstep.
So why did Democrats object to such negotiations by Trump?
Was the reason that no such thing occurred during the Biden administration, when Putin invaded Ukraine, after his earlier invasions during the Obama era?
What is the left’s alternate plan? The old Biden idea of supplying Ukraine with enough money and arms to keep fighting and dying, but with no path to either victory or a negotiated peace?
Would they prefer a fourth, fifth, or sixth year of war, or an additional one million casualties?
The more Trump pressed almost all NATO members to pay their promised two percent of GDP on defense, the more Democrats grew irate over Trump’s overseas influence.
NATO members now want to raise defense spending to five percent of GDP and gush that Trump is “Daddy.”
Democrats steamed at that, since Europeans are supposed to hate Trump, not admire him for rebooting NATO.
Would they prefer the old, disarmed NATO?

What is the Republican alternative to Trump, other than Trump?
The Democrat Party will always need an Emmanuel Goldstein.
Itis a big part of how they rule.
America and its Free Constitutional Republic of limited and representative gov’t are a systematic assault on democracy and its tyranny of the majority and unlimited gov’t.
Again, America is a constitutional REPUBLIC, NOT a democracy!!!
We already know -- Hillary Clinton, then Joe Biden, then Kamala Harris. The final destruction of Hamas, the Iranian mullahcracy, Hezbollah, and the Iran proxies in Yemen, the Houthi, combined with the expansion of the Abraham Accords, with perhaps a little black-ops removal of the overseas funding of the local koranimal socialists, will help lead to a narrow old-guard victory in the next few elections -- or it won't. Either way, the Demagogic Party, being a collection of violent, rival street gangs, is fatally divided.
There is so much ammunition to use against him - it will be as fun to watch as when DeSantis held up the poop map of San Francisco as DeSanis wiped the floor with Newsom during their debate.
Leftism is indefensible.
Democrats grew irate
More like they were born that way there is noting good about them they strive every day of their life to prove it.
They are the sink hole in life.
Zell Miller?

I was so busy thinking about the nuts and bolts of the events that I forgot to think about what all those visuals might have done for elevating Trump’s presidential stature among the average, not very political, TV watchers, it had to have some impact.
JASMINE CROCK OF CRAP! S
‘What Is the Democrat Alternative to Trump?”
Answer : NONE!
There is none. It’s like saying who is the Democrat alternative to RUSH. Democrat policies are not popular when all the facts are compared democrats are full of hatred. Democrats are not funny. Democrats do not welcome our form of government and want to destroy America. It’s simply not popular unless it is disguised - as an example - there is no bias in the media claims the media and the Dems.
The Democratic answer to Trump is:
1)Opposite of whatever Trump says.
2)Opposite of whatever Trump is trying to achieve.
3)Opposite of whatever Trump is doing.
Everyone here knows what that means. If Trump is trying to help America and Americans....then you know what the Democrats are saying, blocking, and doing.
> Leftism is indefensible. <
The old-time Democrats were, by and large, okay. Truman, JFK, etc. Then something changed. Now we’ve got Bernie Sanders and AOC.
I suspect this can be at least partially explained by the failure of today’s press to do its job. The press are now cheerleaders for the left. So why should the left show any self-restraint?
They will be protected no matter what they do.
They don’t have an alternative. Trump can kick ass at a RAT “knife fight” without a gun or a bazooka. He fights good and hard. None of the “fighting” with “F” bombs and Molotovs like the old ladies from India and Japan down at the Party of Death, Destruction, and Dumbschlitz.
Nothing seems to destroy him—not the raid on his home, not 93 lawfare indictments, not efforts to strike him from state ballots, not two impeachments, not even two assassination attempts.
Instead, all that only made him stronger—and thus more hated.
