I am convinced that in 2012 many voters agreed Yes, Obama is troubling, but would Bain Capitals Mitt Romney drive the economy into another 2008 meltdown? Do I want to take that chance? Maybe re-electing Obama is the less-risky choice.
The GOP failed to counter attacks. Defending yourself wouldnt be polite. A gentleman just allows people to lie about him. It would be unseemly to point out your opponents lies. The GOP never to this day (I mean the party officially) rebutted the lies about the 2008 economic mortgage-collapse crisis or explained the Democrats guilt in creating it.
Why would I ever vote for any Democrat, especially Joe Biden? I was Christine ODonnells campaign manager briefly when she ran against Biden in 2008 for the Delaware U.S. Senate seat, helping her win the Republican nomination along with Gretchen Ellixson, John Feroce, and others. I created a website The Biden Quiz documenting in precise detail (after Christine argued it) that Joe Biden was among the most far-left U.S. Senators.
Biden has never been a moderate. Worse, Biden is a chameleon, a voiceover actor who simply memorizes talking points and delivers them like a narrator in a TV commercial. Biden doesnt actually believe in anything. But he does echo precisely whatever the far Left says or wants.
All Joe has had to do for decades is repeat the talking points popular at the moment and collect applause. In his left-wing bubble, when Joe could say no wrong, it ceased to matter what came out of Bidens mouth.
Rich Lowrys National Review actually launched the #NeverTrump hysteria with its landmark 2016 edition Conservatives Against Trump. Within two years, Rich Lowry tried to retreat from the mania. Writing in Politico, this week, Lowry tried to build common ground between the #NeverTrumpers he championed and Trump voters, without the benefit of a map. In The Folly of the Never Republicans, rather than deconstructing the reasons for the chasm, Lowry merely warns that burning down the Republican Party by electing Biden will not create a better outcome. Lowry concedes that Trump is an unacceptable boor -- suspiciously like what critics said about Winston Churchill and uncultured frontier woodsman Abraham Lincoln. But Lowry urges #NeverTrumpers to step back from the cliff.
#NeverTrumpers can point out a thousand faults of Donald Trump -- none of which are true, but lets focus on the point. The alternative candidates are worse.
One cannot point the finger at Trump when the candidates they are pushing are terrible. That includes the polite, dignified Republicans who think that letting the Democrats win makes them the better man. Or maybe they think that if they attack their own party, the alligators will eat them last. Havent we already tried those type of Republicans for decades? What could possibly make anyone want to back to those dignified Republicans? They are the problem, not the solution.
Trump is not a democrat. He will not bring in millions of bearded welfare recipients. He will not sell the country out to China. He will not sell out Whites. For all his quirks, he is the best thing for this country.
Let me put it this way: I am voting against Biden and all other Democrats.
I vote against rats period....Trump has earned my vote...
President Trump is the leader we need right now. God Bless President Trump.
I’m sure it’s already been done, but if not, would someone please photo edit Trump’s head on a picture of Sylvester Stallone where in one of the Rambo movies he tells some evil guy who asks who he is, “I’m your worst nightmare!”. I think it was a Rambo movie...
Of course. He could act like a Democrat or a GOPe clown.
I will vote against President Trump when Hell freezes over ....... or Buffalo wins the Stanley Cup this year. Whichever comes first.
I can tolerate the occasion unhelpful tweet.
Biden would embrace the destruction of every element of the Constitution and our economy.
Or even worse, the George W. Bush philosophy: "Good people will see through the lies."
Maybe they would have in 1950. Trump gets immense criticism from the GOPe for what they consider his simplistic Tweets and almost childish repetition of themes - but he knows his audience.
Yes, agree.
I have never prayed for a President, Vice-President and Christian’s serving in government everyday...until President Trump. We pray for his family who is also under constant attack. President Trump is here ‘for such a time as this’ which is a gift from God and an abundance of answered prayers.
II Chronicles 7:14....God WILL provide!
George Washington himself would have to come back, reincarnated and run for President as an Independent for me not to vote for Trump.
For the third time in my life, Im enthusiastically supporting a presidential candidate with my vote.
Reagan in 1984 and Trump.
What is the old adage, you cannot replace somebody with nobody.
This was used most successfully by the elder Richard Daley of Chicago for years, until he had the bad judgment to die and leave the office of Mayor vacant. For years “reform” Democrats and some feeble Republicans put up token opponents, but “Da Mare” managed to run up some impressive victories.
“Or even worse, the George W. Bush philosophy: “Good people will see through the lies.””
YES! I forgot that ! Great quote. Great catch !!
if he quit... would end my hope.
Yes. If it is proven he is having an affair with Nancy Pelosi.
Maybe I’m a Pollyanna, but I see the possibility that part of the 67% of Biden voters could be converted, depending on Trump’s message.
