Great advice for a status quo campaign.
Status quo campaigns are why we keep losing.
No, politicians have to be elected. And to do that, you need the middle of the road 8-12%
Remember the Dems for Nixon, Dems for Reagan, Dems for Bush
Rs are a 21st Century minority party. We never get elected without Dem votes.
..................................................
You very conveniently fail to mention the great number of Republicans who stayed home and didn’t vote because they considered McCain and Romney to be simply Democrat-Light. Two losses by your “perfect politicians.’ You’ll get a third one if you run Bush or Rubio.
Trump and Cruz are fresh and unsullied for the most part. Voters are listening and that makes the Establishment NERVOUS! You are part of that Establishment.
Best part of Trump is he is not a professional politician. The author credits a lying, sniveling piece of human trash, with a side practice of sexual predation, as a “great politician.” You kiddin. Clinton was elected by a corrupt, lying, old media monopoly that had nothing to do with Bill’s talent for lying and cheating—they covered for this bum and promoted him.
Who the heck wants a politician?! They are the bane of our existence!
Trump may not care if he goes all the way. He obviously loves this country and wants certain conversations to take place. He is forcing those conversations. We are all p.c. fatigued. What a refreshing change.
He knows we have several stellar potential candidates. If he can get them talking about the subjects he wants aired he might be satisfied with that.
He takes no prisoners and is certainly going to muddy up some folks who deserve it.
I see no downside. Go get ‘em, Donald.
Thank you.
You’ll need to find someone else to argue with, I hope that you can live with that.
I’m not arguing with you. I’m pointing out that your claim is BS.
I’ll give you one example:
The anonymous piece: “A war hero doesnt get 28 medals awarded all after-the-fact for bravery for no other reason than being shot down and captured and then go on a celebrity public relations tour because hes the son of two acclaimed Navy admirals.”
That is what is called BS
McCain’s awards:
Silver Star (awarded for actions as a POW)
2 Legions of Merit, 1 w/ “V” (one awarded during a POW and one on retirement from the Navy - not bravery awards)
Distinguished Flying Cross (for combat flying)
2 Air Medals (these are not bravery awards, but for combat flying)
3 Bronze Stars with at least one V device
The rest are non combat, peacetime awards, or service medals. These are not bravery awards
So two bravery awards, not 28, and only one while flying combat.
The problem is not that the differences aren’t there between the two pieces, they are and they are glaring. The problem is with you, you can’t recognize the differences.
Good bye.
That is one thing not "most things." It's also the least relevant thing in the post.
I thought you weren't going to argue with me?
I think that McAmnesty deserves what he’s getting from Trump. Nobody else has ever been willing to go there with McAmnesty and maybe that “maverick” jackass will STFU
Took me a second to get the message from the three pictures...and then I understood. Well played...LOL!!!
It says jar donkey pit.
McCain called the Republican base crazies, so yes there is an upside in backing you base.
the Conservative base decides elections. If enough of us stay home the Republican looses
“Which is why he’s so popular—A large number of voters are very tired of professional politicians. “
I know I am.

Thank you!
The very sad fact that way too few here admit.
