Stubborn Trump supporters, especially the most fervent, seem unwilling to challenge the deedless covenant, ask the hard questions that if answered truthfully would confirm that Donald Trump has been a supreme letdown, and his failures -- including the re-election debacle -- self-inflicted.
Promises made, promises kept? Not when it mattered.
Drain the swamp? Spinning around in an airboat.
Trump never cleaned up the FBI, instead hired the Dem sympathizer Christopher Wray as Director, and except for a few gratuitous tweets about his incompetence, left him in place.
Gina Haspel, CIA chief, kept the job until the last day despite the likelihood she was knee-deep with John Brennan in the active sabotage of Trump’s 2015-2016 campaign and incoming president-elect transition.
Trump appointed, then tolerated clueless insubordinates and leakers like Rex Tillerson, John Kelly, JR McMaster, James Mattis, and Gary Cohn, until the damage was done, and Trump’s agenda crippled.
When will unyielding Trump loyalists answer the following questions?
Why did Trump endlessly rail against billions in federal budget giveaways to Dem darlings like Planned Parenthood, and Marxist countries, but signed the bills anyhow?
Why couldn’t Trump get illegal immigration fixed -- beyond executive orders easily overturned — and get Obamacare reversed when he had a Republican Senate and House? Why did Trump let Paul Ryan ruin his platform? Why did Trump deliberately antagonize John McCain knowing McCain would undercut the final vote on debriding Obamacare? Why did Trump willfully persist with a toxic persona, alienating suburban voters that cost him (and us) the House in 2018 and led to the first impeachment and a MAGA agenda declared morte by the Democrats?
Why did Trump never de-classify all the Obamagate documents, and release all of the Biden laptop evidence?

“Could any Republican win in 2024, with our messed up electoral system?”
Given how little headway they made in the house in 2022 I doubt it. The DNC will only improve their mail in cheating.
Better to try and fail then not at all like the status quo always does
Forget that crap
There are four things he did that all the RINOs promised but never delivered:
1. Moving embassy to Jerusalem
2. Judges (particularly Supreme Court)...which led to...
Overturning Roe v Wade.
3. Smashed ISIS
4. Kept us out of major military conflicts
Those are not insignificant by any means.
My 2 cents
Amen
Trump was under attack from his first day in office.
McConnell held a veto over it all
He told Trump who would get confirmed by the Senate. McConnell and the deep state installed the mole Jeff Sessions, and Trump believed he was a loyal player.
Sessions job was simply to recuse himself on all things Russia - which put Rosenstein and McCabe in charge of Russia-gate for 2 years.
Your right about the shots my friend.......nobody wants to talk about that but he pushed very hard to get ‘em out ASAP........I know his heart was in the right place but some things cannot be rushed......and look what they got.....I say “they” because I never got one. I really believe God was guiding my wife and I in that decision also.
Trump’s biggest mistake was trusting people in his inner circle whom he should have never trusted. He has so many knives in his back that he ought to be called Caesar.
Kushner, Pence, Barr, Omarosa and on and on and on. Every one of them gave him advice and counsel that was either self-serving (Kushner) or running interference for the Deep State (Pence, Barr, etc.)
I do not question his patriotism nor his heart. His judgment in selecting his inner-circle, on the other hand...
This is the same kind of person who says:
Why didn’t the Founding Fathers outlaw slavery in the first Constitution?
Why didn’t Women get the right to vote too?
Who is claiming anything but? Also, Trump neve4 mandated them. Trumps role as the head of federal response was to make sure the states had no barriers in implementing their policies. As such he got them ventilators, testing mechanisms’, ppe and a vaccine. In other words, he got them what he was being asked for. If your state decided to test daily that’s not on Trump, mandates, not on Trum0, force masks, mpt on Trump. Didn’t want to use hydroxy, not on Trump, didn’t want to use Ivermectine, not on Trump. The media tries to blend the Trump response with the response of the states and Biden and its just more fake news
There is some truth with that list. If Trump cannot course-correct that list will grow and America will suffer.
But here’s the thing. I’d rather have a candidate who can get 10% of MAGA done than someone who is an anti-MAGA, war-mongering neocon.
This doesn’t mean I’m a Trump-or-bust person. I’m simply looking for the most electable MAGA-type person out there. Maybe that will be Trump. Maybe it will be someone we haven’t even heard from yet.
The vaccines saved many lives and enabled the economy to reopen fully.
Trump was right in backing them.
It is unfortunate that more effective vaccines were not made in time.
They have a very high side effect profile, but a very low lethality - about one in a million, versus one in 200 (and maybe one in 2000 going forward) for Covid.
Here is the inconvenient truth. The instant Trump was victorious in 2016, the intelligence community and the Republican and Democrat party organized a vicious and effective campaign to stop him and make him ineffective. Essentially I estimate Trump out about 30% of the power a president normally has. The day he entered office and was sworn in he was already under investigation by the FBI. They had already slandered Michael Flynn and had him removed from trumps administration. James Comey was in his office secretly recording him. The CIA was running an operation against him trying to make a dishonest case that he was a Russian spy. When he tried to gain control, by firing James Comey, a special prosecutor was appointed that harassed him for the first 2 1/2 years of his presidency. Essentially he was no longer in charge of the DOJ. Anyone who showed the slightest interest in working in his administration was subject to street terrorism in restaurants, anywhere they went. Efforts organized by the political parties and big tech ensured the person would never work in their career field again.
Mitch McConnell had normal recess for the Senate in 2015 and 2016 when Obama was president. When Trump was president, he kept the Senate in pro forma session the entire four years so Trump could not make a recess appointment.
The CIA has spies inside the White House monitoring his phone calls, and then launched the fake impeachment. He was hounded, harassed, and road blocked at every step. Our treasonous military literally refused his orders about Syria. Homosexual Mattis refused his order over removing tranny‘s from the military. The head of the Coast Guard openly defied that order. When the Navy went after Eddie Gallagher, Trump gave them an order to knock it off. They continued. He pardoned him, the Navy still continued to try to persecute him.
Do you want an inconvenient truth? About Trump? Every is a trusted institution in America became treasonous and worked morning noon and night to disobey him and obstruct him. In many cases violating the law with impunity to do so. You’re a bunch of damn traders and we hate you more than ever now. That’s the truth. And you’re not gonna force some milk toast DeSantos on us as a Trump substitute you can control.
Could any Republican win in 2024, with our messed up electoral system?

And even if a Republican wins, is it a victory if conservatives get only 5% of their wishes realized in the long run?
What do you expect in 4 years with constant lies, media tyrants, traitors working in the WH, ………..
If they had a plan to out Ballot Harvest the Democrats.
My wife has been on hydroxychloroquine for most of her life. We’ve been getting it from the same pharmacy for 32 years. But in 2020 they suddenly refused to fill it. We had to put some serious pressure on them to get her medications.
Exactly, Trump fired Comey and the Repukes thought he was going to appoint someone who would shut down the BS investigations and they were hell bent on not allowing him to. Repukes and Rats worked to make sure Trump couldn’t govern...example, building a wall then when it wasn’t completed they said, hey, where’s the wall you promised. Hopefully no on here is too blind to see that
Amen my friend
There is so much more. The Republican Congress stopped the building up the wall. The Republican Congress refused to allow him to make the appointments he wanted. The Republican Congress refused to repeal Obamacare for him to sign. The Republican Congress let a special counsel run wild and did not back him up. How many times did we see Lindsey Graham threatening instant impeachment if he fired a special prosecutor? How many times did we see the generals openly contradicting him and opposing him. The head of strategic command went to Canada and said there were some circumstances where he would disobey trumps launch order . Open treason abounded. The inconvenient truth? We hate you more than ever now. Trump is our message, you didn’t get it.
