I don't have any party affiliation as suggested by George Washington in his farwell address.
For the longest time I have identified as being a conservative citizen who votes sans party.
These days when asked, I take the temperature of the person asking, and usually just reply I vote anti-Democrat party.
What would impress me, now that the Donald has officially announced after weeks of taking the wind out of the sails for the midterms, would be a ticket with him at the top and a DeSantis, Nikki Haley, or a Kristi Noem taking the training spot. If Trump is going to be your nominee the only problem with my suggestion is unfortunately his (Trumps) ego can't take pumping up his Number 2 for 4 years.
Any way that is way too much from someone who really doesn't have a dog in this hunt.
Good luck keeping the ever larger growing conservative non party folks running in the same direction as your nominee.
The GOP has always had the propensity to either snatch defeat from the jaws of victory or not being able to create and maintain a consensus in their own ranks.
I hope you’re not a fraud denier. Too many of them around.
When’s Kurt Schlichter going to run for president, eh? He seems to have all the answers from his armchair, doesn’t he . . . oh wait; he also seems to be a fraud denier, so that’s deep state.
How do you win?
1) Take at least 10% of the black vote in the blue cities.
2) Capture the hearts and minds of the suburban women aka “Soccer Moms”
3) And do both without ignoring or taking for granted your red rural base.
The Kamala - Inslee ticket will crush him
Aaaaaaah, it’s too early for this crap, with all due respect to ColonelKurt..
Not sure what a “fraud denier” is so there is a fair chance I am not. Just an old vet painfully watching the demise of the Republic.
Does any of this really matter if the cheating by the Dems isn’t stopped?
I like what I see from DeSantis so far but there are two big reservations.
Firstly, we can’t really be sure how he would be on foreign policy. His statements against pouring ever more of our money down the rat hole of Ukraine and his statements against the WEF are encouraging signs but.....he also supported the Maidan coup when he was in Congress. We need to see him come out more clearly against the deep state and its perpetual wars and the bad trade deals plus surrender of national sovereignty by the globalists.
Secondly, he has not yet earned the loyalty of the Midwestern working class like Trump has. Trump has made it very clear he’s for energy independence, getting rid of bad trade deals, placing tariffs on Chinese goods, in general implementing fair trade rather than pure free trade, and in bringing back manufacturing. DeSantis has not shown them yet that he would do all of the above. Trump had been saying similar things since the early 90s - and people knew it. They knew he really believed in what he said and wasn’t just pandering to them because he thought it would be convenient now.
That is true, but they're more freaked out about Trump. Eventually, as you watch the circus play out, the Dems will tell you who they want to run against, and it's most definitely not Trump.
And that's why you keep seeing Trump falsely described as a "three time loser".
I have reached the point where I do not think either Trump or DeSantis will be elected President.
At this particular point in time, I expect Gavin Newsom to be sworn in to that office on January 21, 2025.
Thanks to the GOPe, they have elections down pat.
Go further left. Masking, lockdowns, big pharma vax shrilling and bumpstock bans with prison reforms didn’t do it. Neither did being homo friendly.
How about just perform an abortion on the lawn of the governors mansion.
Our leftist “conservatives” have costed freedoms we will never regain.. why not keep going left to win.
How far left are the covid policies… well they included mail in ballots. More of that to win, eh.
Moot point since electoral math is now a lock for Socialists with takeover of PA and MI at all levels. No way to counter.
Of course, none of us ever reads the actual posted article - unless it's a Kurt Schlichter article.
Read the article.
Trump has set a really high bar for candidates. If Trump had never arrived on the scene there would be quite a few very qualified candidates in the upcoming election of 24. Kinda like when we picked Bush because he was a good governor.
Read later.
To my mind there is only one fact that matters dhen it comes to DeSantis.
That Florida still uses RCV-enabled voting machines, early voting, mail-in voting.
Until DeSantis does something about that, I’m not supporting DeSantis.
And I’m wondering if he won because Deep State permitted it.
You are right, it doesn’t make sense to demand answers to hypothetical questions. It also doesn’t make sense to pose a hypothetical question toward Trump and demand the answer, while stubbornly failing to even consider the same question posed toward any other candidate, hypothetical or real.
Which is my point.
Here’s the context:

Good observation & I agree.
My case against Ron DeSantis is that as soon as Trump is gone. Everything they say against Trump plus other scandals will come at Ron DeSantis. They are just waiting to attack him for real when Trump pulls out. That is the way of the media.
