The voters remorse on biden... makes the question obvious.. what did you think when you voted for him...

will the republican voters find out what the heck they are voting for!

mcconnell and others thought Trump was done and turned on him to be with the winner.. whoever it was.. the few who stayed are the ones to keep..

someone on AV said Trump had some of the same crew and named names till the moderator stopped him.

last comment.. perhaps Trump was not wanting to give the left ammunition.. but I wanted to see more fight.. I guess maybe CPAK was not the place to exhibit.

And.. its beyond belief the dems would put a man who is past prime.. bungling along.. as the president.. it should be embarrassing.. and dangerous...

Populism is hurled as a pejorative to mock and belittle Trump and his supporters.
But Trump is pro-American, not populist.
It’s hard for the elites to wrap their tiny minds around the concept that America is a force for good, so they try to denigrate anyone who’s pedestrian enough to consider sacred the American ideal of God, family, country and hard work.

Both parties cooperated to cheat Trump out and put Senile Joe in.

Some people have that aura that gets followers. A number of those people were very bad. Hitler, Mussolini, Mao etc.

On the other hand Washington had it and he is definitely the "Father of the Country". He could have been King George.

Reagan had it. A B-actor running for President? He had Aura.

Trump has aura. He had a good portion of Living US citizens voting for him. I think Trump will build to his future, I think Trump will try to setup 2022 for his candidates taking the house and senate. In 2024 he will have a number of grateful Senators and House members waving his flag. Biden/Kamala/Puppeteers will surely screw everything up, so 2022 & 2024 wins should be expected.

Except for the fact that something always comes along like COVID-19 to screw up predictions. I think my crystal ball has a lot of asphalt in it. COVID-19 will have cost the US greatly. It cost us a President and watch what the next 2 years cost us

"Sarah Palin is history. Once her family situation turned into a dumpster fire her political career — at least on a national level — was over."

Well said, and nothing more need be said.

Trump, Desantis, Noem. Two of those three are the 2024 ticket, best one can predict right now.

A good friend who hews closer to the old establishment than I do responded, asking what if the voters don’t know what is in their own interests.

I can understand saying this to a child (or perhaps an very young adult), but to hold this view against tens of millions of mature adults is nothing short of ludicrous contempt for one’s countrymen.

Rousing speeches are meaningless if they aren't backed up with action. The GOP pols that gave rousing speeches at this event will return to Washington and revert to being the docile losers that they've always been.

They're implying that they're investigating and pursuing conservatives because of political speech. For now, they're making plans on how to use other agencies to accomplish their final solution.

And build new social media platforms. Ones that have no censorship and no spyware tracking you like Theftbook, Gulag & Twatter.

To that, try out the new Gitmo.Life at:

The opinion piece made no sense and was pointless? It was an observation... not an article. If it made no sense to you perhaps that is on you... not the writer.

Pompeo also was there, and is a STRONG contender.

And, he is quite close to Trump.

Very good relationship.

The Democrats are also planning to pass some gun control sometime during the next couple of weeks. This bill is particularly interesting.

I would suggest there is only really one other GOP populist in the mix: Sarah Palin.

I guess you didn't see Kristi Noem's speech.

“add Candace Owens”

that’s the black woman whose name I couldn’t remember. I think before she can be considered up to the challenge she needs to at least win a seat in the House or the Senate. The Senate would be a long shot and I don’t even know in which state she resides.

Candace Owens

I do not remember which year, but I was looking at tips online, re an engine rebuild, and there was a link to her.

I saw her video in which she “outs herself” to her folks, that she is *conservative* (or Republican?). Funny.

She sure has a mind that seeks. I have wanted to send about 5 worthy American history books, to her.

Presently, I would pick her to be our US Ambassador to the UN.

Ive never gotten along well with noems. Are there any dwarves or hobbits (stouts, not those flaky hairfoots) running? They are just so much better grounded.
