Not one vote. Polls that you deem so truthful sure have been wrong every election.

It’s every poll, all by 30+ points.

Now who is it that is petty? and this coming from the “HILL” is even more hilarious. I wouldn’t believe a word they said if it came notarized on their tongues. my gawd, give us a break.

DeSantis is an “adult in the room” candidate. So was Romney, JEB, Bush Jr., and just about every other RINO who’s ever run for political office.

The gentlemanly “I’m above it all” strategy never worked against Democrats and it won’t work against Trump.

It did work. With Reagan. He was a genius who disarmed any bad will against him and conservatism.

Stop equating “polite” with “RINO”, and equating “open personal insults” with “toughness”.

Totally bogus analogies.

“We need a president who is presidential, Trump is not.”

Why do we need a president who’s presidential? Having a presidential president hasn’t worked since Reagan.

Reagan was not a RINO.

This isn’t the same country we had with Reagan.

We are NOT at that level or we’d be at war.

We are at war. The Democrats and the Deep State are at war with this country.

Remember...war isn't always shooting.

Hitler's first victory was his war to take over the country of Germany. His victory was complete when The Enabling Act of 1933 was passed to give him absolute power.

Not exactly, no. But we could and should bring it round that way. Frankly I’d prefer it was the ‘50s and prior. It was a better more moral country. The problems with blacks notwithstanding, it was just better. But because of blacks, we have to throw all the baby out with the bath water. All they had to do was eliminate racist laws. Everything else should’ve stayed the same.

Sorry, off my soapbox.

But you implied that only RINOs act like adults and polite and gentlemanly. I assure you it’s been done before and very successfully.

So, you shouldn’t believe that “DeSanctus” said any of those things in self-defense against Trump, because it’s from the Hill?

I can go with that.

DeSantis isn’t wrong...Trump needs to grow up. Trump’s mouth is his own worst enemy.

Sorry, you’re speaking hyperbole, in metaphors.

Anyone who has real guts, I guess, would be declaring civil war. And I do mean, war. Not your hyperbolic metaphors.

The Democrats and the Deep State are in the process of overthrowing our government to establish a dictatorship.

We need a president who can lead us in the battle to save our freedom and our country.

If you think we need a president who is presidential to do that, you are sadly mistaken.

Think outside the box. The Left is counting on your not being able to do that. They are counting on your being blind to what they are doing.

Keep talking on/off your soapbox..
Things have changed since 1491
when Columbus sailed the ocean
blue. A lot if not most of the
change was brought on by whitey.
After all they are the ones that
went to Africa and brought them
to North America, specifically
to do a lot of the manual labor
that whitey didn’t want to do
from manual labor to house work.

I never said or implied that at all. Reread my original comment.

If you can't see that our country is at war with the Left, you are asleep.

The Left is at war with us. That is not hyperbole. That is not metaphor.

If you think that a war must have a legal declaration then you need to open your eyes.

There is a war against Christian churches in America. Oh wait, no one declared war, so there can't be one.

The Left is trying to kill free speech. Oh wait, that's just hyperbole.

How blind and ignorant of history would a person have to be to think that a war must have a legal declaration?

Rereading my original comment, I suppose you were refering to this -

The gentlemanly “I’m above it all” strategy never worked against Democrats and it won’t work against Trump.

Reagan’s presidency deserves to be remembered as a success, mainly for successfully dealing with the most important issue of that time - the Cold War/Soviet Union. Other achievements worth noting are his tax cuts which lead to a prosperous economy for most of his presidency.

But he was able to achieve those successes because there were enough Democrats in the Democratic party of that era who shared his goals on those issues, and he got steam rolled by the Democrats on a number of other issues, for example immigration, Supreme Court appointments, and budget cuts. His gentlemanly approach didn’t serve him well in that regard. His compromises with the Democrats always seemed to turn out to be Democrat wins, once all was said and done.
