agreed I think Newsome scores a lot higher with women than Biden. I think the dems will decide at the convention Trump will have it locked up by then
>>”Your Hitlery comment shows your denial. Trump LOST the popular vote”
I guess you didn’t get the memo. We elect presidents using the electoral college, not the popular vote. Trump beat Hillary, a much stronger candidate than Biden, in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Arizona. Trump lost the popular vote because of California. He lost the overall popular vote by just under 3 million, while his deficit in California alone, was 4 million. Trump understood how the electoral system works so didn’t bother to campaign there.
>>”CITIZENS are driven to vote against any Republican. You should be concentrating on that”
I don’t even know what that means. Is that supposed to be an argument against nominating Trump? You bring up citizens who won’t vote for any Republican and yet you ignore the fact that Trump has been more successful than any Republican in recent memory at expanding the base. Trump brought in millions of first time or low turnout voters in both 2016 and 2020. These new voters who rarely if ever voted before didn’t show up because he was a Republican. They showed up because he’s Trump. They don’t show up during off year elections when Trump is not on the ballot, which is a big reason why the Republicans have performed so dismally during mid-terms. If the GOP embraced Trump, they might be able to motivate these new voters to come out and vote in off years, but they don’t call them the stupid party for nothing.
>>”Meanwhile, a narcissistic ass like Trump isn’t winning any friends, but burning bridges”
And what do you base that on? Your own feelings about him? Have you not been paying attention to the large movement of African-Americans and Hispanics towards Trump? Trump is polling with both groups at numbers never seen before from a Republican. That’s a game changer. A mere 10% shift in these two groups to Trump is enough to seal Biden’s fate. It’s the difference between a Trump victory margin that can be negated by fraud, and one that likely can’t. The new minority Trump voters aren’t voting for the Republican party. If, for some reason, Trump ended up not being the Republican candidate, whoever takes his place won’t be getting those voters.
The GOP Presidential nominee has lost the Popular Vote in seven of the last eight elections.
George W. Bush got 50.7% in 2004.
Huge numbers of Conservatives refuse to accept the political reality that the GOP has been a minority party for three decades.
It would be helpful if we could persuade California and New York to secede.
In 2020, excluding CA and NY, Trump won the Popular Vote by 37,000 votes in the other 48 states and Washington D.C.
I would not mind if trump picked Tucker Carlson for veep—which would put him in the pole position for president in2028.
The really mountain moving stuff only Trump can do
Certainly he is the one most motivated to move the mountains
Trump’s not interested in policy debates—because he can’t talk with any depth about policy unless he’s reading off a teleprompter his staff puts up for him. That’s why he’s avoiding debates.
Lots of anti-trumpers on this thread.
If you're saying it's okay for a politician to use his party's majority in order to change the laws to hide his office's travel records, meetings, etc. from public scrutiny, and to make arrangements to continue getting a taxpayer funded paycheck, while not physically in the State performing the job that he was re-elected to perform in November 2022, but instead, is off running a losing campaign around the country, then your so-called "understanding" is likely part of the problem.
I am just speechless, reading your post. I understand why things have to be locked up in the failing, crime-ridden Blue cities of California (and other states), but... you have to put up with this nonsense in suburban areas?? Talk about lack of freedom. Sounds prison-like.
Hubby and I are in Connecticut now (north of Hartford near the Massachusetts line). Nice area. We are moving to the South Carolina lowcountry (another nice area) we're actually in transition between the two places now.
I've NEVER seen merchandise locked up behind plexiglass (with a few rare exceptions) in any Target, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, etc. It's just unheard of in both parts of CT and SC we live in. Life goes on as normal...
Good point.
LOL!
I like Trump and DeSantis about equally. Neither are perfect.
Somehow that makes me a bad person I guess.
Saying ‘not good’ doesn’t mean I think Biden or current things are good.
Trump was just ‘ok’ to me. What’s going on now is abhorrent. So obviously I’d prefer Trump back.
That depends on the case. Whom do you have in mind? Jeff Sessions (AG)? He wimped out. Rex Tillerson (State)? Trump was leveraging his oil and gas experience, but Tillerson began undermining Trump. Reince Priebus (Chief of Staff)? He personified establishment GOP. John Kelly (Homeland/Chief of Staff)? James Mattis (Defense)? Kellyanne Conway (Advisor)? Someone else? -PJ
Quickly coming to mind:
Jeff Sessions, Reince Priebus, Elaine Chao, Rod Rosenstein, Michael Flynn, Mark Meadows, Mark Milley, Steve Bannon, John Kelly, Sean Spicer, Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, Stephanie Grisham, Mark Esper, Bill Barr, Christopher Wray, James Mattis, Rex Tillerson, Betsy DeVos, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Gina Haspel, Anthony Scaramucci, Hope Hicks, to name a few.
I think you will see a pattern there, and they are not all because Trump picks bad people.
Many of them were used to get to Trump, like Manafort who was Trump's campaign manager for only a month and was never even a part of his administration.
Look how the left manufactured charges of abuse of women against Corey Lewandowski by a liberal reporter during the primaries? They were clearly trying to undercut Trump's campaign by taking out his campaign manager and staff.
The left was on a mission to make Trump toxic by using lawfare against anyone who supported Trump.

Nor my vote. I will be voting for Trump even if he is incarcerated, deceased or somehow denied access to the ballot. (I know how to write his name.)
The GOPe is living in fantasyland if they think they have any future outside of being the TRUMP PARTY.
We've seen a true America-first candidate and President, and will not be fooled again.
3 seconds and Trump would have Newsome curled up on the floor sucking his thumb. Trump does not need this crapola, plastic banana goodtime rocknroll what soever. Hit the ground running dismantling JoeBama obamaumao et cie. Day 1.
not sure about Trumpists giving this scum sucking fakir Newsome one iota of support. Stretching situational ethics beyond shear strength. Moral relativism on steroids, apply to the skin and face of Newsome and you have whom he really is.
That’s a weak win sans NY CA. Proves again Trump is not so popular as his sycophants love to fantasize.
No matter what they say, he is nowhere near Reagan in electability, due on one hand to popularity, and the other to not being hateable.
Trump will never win when it counts. Doesn’t matter if cheating or not.
Doing poorly because of the Cult of Trump Butt-Kissers.
What is the meaning of your first sentence? These people were DeSantis lovers and now they’re all Trump predictors? What did that mean?
Bottom line, even 50 people proves nothing.
No, I have to defend this narcissistic Mussolini mouth to those liberals, and it’s painful because he is far from perfect and not really a good conservative. I’m fighting both ways…real liberals who hate America and hate anyone with R, and this insane mindset that Trump is Washington and Jesus Himself and can never be criticized. Sick of it all.
