I for one don't want him back in that seat. I agree with a lot of if not the vast majority of his ideas, but he is so polarizing that the chaos that comes with it is just not worth it. DeSantis is Trump-lite and while some degree of the Trump chaos would follow him, he seems more level headed and diplomatic to handle it.
Eldonabe speaks for me. Bullet and Cardinal Jim somewhat also. And they manage to do so without pissing the rest of you off. Clearly, they all are much better posters than I, and perhaps I should just go the way of the rest of the dissenters on this board and let everyone peacefully enjoy an uninterrupted circle around pictures of the M.O.B.
But I do sometimes wonder why you guys, who I know for the most part to be smart people, think that Donald Trump in 2024 is anything other than a ticket to disaster.
JMU Duke: Are we better off now than we were a year ago? Of course not. The nation is heading over a progressive cliff. Yet how does that lead you (along with B.C. and Tiger) to the completely illogical conclusion that Donald Trump is the best candidate to run in 2024? He’s the idiot who lost what should have been a shoo-in reelection.
Ollie, have you not been watching DeSantis gracefully bat away every lie, cheap shot and slur directed his way? He is 100 times more effective as a politician and communicator than Donald Trump. Ron DeSantis absolutely obliterated AOC and the rest of the leftist hypocrites who have attempted to take him on. He’s done so with facts, with humor and with real accomplishments. There are plenty of others who could do just as well. Donald Trump? The only tool in his rhetorical box is name calling.
Shere Kahn, do you honestly think that Donald Trump wrote that statement? If you do, then there really is no discussing things with you. You just keep on waving those pom poms. I’m sure Donald loves you too.
Absolutely NOT. This is becoming our problem in the US and its a huge problem. Anytime we disagree we should completely shut off the speech of others. And this is supposed to help us grow as individuals and as a country. This is the way of Communist China and it looks like more and more countries are heading in the Venezuela direction including our on.
Everyone needs a voice. Even those who borderline lunacy need to speak and I don't have to agree with any of it but it is basically the only freedom we have left and once its gone so are we.
My deceased Dad used to tell me having strong competition is not only good in business but is good in all aspects of life. Huh? Yeah, he continued without competition you get arrogant, fat and lazy and what's even worse you get indignant. You just don't care what anyone has to say because you hold all the cards.
As to your reference of Trump I get where you are coming from. He is a lightening rod and does inspire people from all backgrounds to come out and vote against him.
These people you have to remember are fed MSM lies 24/7 and his tweets of ignorance and narcissism only fuel the fire. If you look at his performance which the liars will never report on then you get a different picture. Please name another President who actually looked out for Americans first? Just one regardless of party in our lifetime.
The real and last question my Mother asked me one day when I was complaining about his mannerisms was this " How many people do you know could take the verbal abuse and constant false attacks on their person and family and still endure to help common folks like ourselves when they don't need to or have to do it?"
None was my response.
And I know regardless when if ever there is another Republican President he will be baptized in the same fire as Trump. After what I have watched since the onset of this manmade manufactured virus I am led to believe that we as a nation are on a track of no return. I have been more inspired by other Americans and I know Trump showed us the way that we do not have to be quiet and take this lying down. The gloves must come off and our teeth have to be shown or these savages will rip us to shreds in the name of their Regressive religion and supposed high moral standards for all humanity.
