  1. Who ? The only contenders on the Democratic side are Kamala, Newsom and AOC. Republican party would be Vance, Rubio or DeSantis MAYBE..... Who would you vote for?
  2. Nahhhh - History has the minority will pick up seats at mid-terms when both houses are controlled by the majority....... The question will be how many seats they gain, or not gain, and will that help or hurt the Vance's Presidential run in 2028. If Dems get a small majority, and spend time trying to impeach Trump again, I think that will helps Vance's odds of pulling off 2028.
  3. Some yes - Build the wall, No tax on tips or SS....... I don't recall anyone else mentioning those. He got the tax on tips from a citizen at one of his rallies I do believe.... BUT THANK YOU for confirming what DCT could not - that Trump is the Republican party and his policies represent that.
  4. I guess it has been going on for a while, but it seems lately it's everywhere.....People posting their opinion of the law and being completely wrong, yet a large group of people believe it. The Karmelo case, the Nolan case are a couple that come to mind. My favorite comment from your link is "I guess we can all go steal yard signs and point guns at people"......lol
  5. As I told 5gallonbucket, this post was not directed at people that spend wisely. The point of the post was people that live outside their means, don't save and complain everything is too expensive. That's been going on for decades and why Democrats want to give everyone free health insurance. I have a real good friend and years ago her and her husband was approved for $250K for a house. She purchased a a 275K house because she had money to put down. It took both of their incomes to pay their mortgage plus escrow. I was never brave enough to do that. All of my homes I've purchased could be paid for with my and the wife's income. There is always a chance you could loose a job or get sick. I am on a mission to never be homeless, never default on a debt and hopefully never need the Government to support me. Most people with bad credit spend more than they make..... The other point to the post is savings should start at 18, not 40 like most folks do.......
  6. What do you disagree with?
  7. I was certainly not calling out the hard working people like you. You bring up a good point, my wife COULD of stayed home with my Son back in the day, but we were young and wanted new cars and "stuff" If I had to do it over, it would be different and I would have more money in my pocket for sure. Luckily, I was blessed with a kid that made parenting look easy.
  8. I cringe at some of the things he says..... However, lots of people respect it. He has changed politics forever
  9. When you clear the noise, and all the fake outrage......I like his policies. There may be one or two I don't agree with, but all the major ones I agree with. End catch and release Secure Border Get rid of illegals with deport orders Reciprocal Tariff's and America First trade agenda No tax on tips - no tax on SS Expand oil and gas Get ahead of AI or SI (lol) - if we don't China will, and that is not a good thing Tough on drug smuggler policy.... VOTER ID Protect woman's sports Why would anyone disagree with the above? So, I think majority of Republicans respect the fact that he does not apologize on doing things he ran on.
  10. You still have not said which policies are not like other Republicans….. we know Democrats don’t like him::.. but since you want to talk about polls…… Trump Crushes Reagan, Lincoln as Republicans’ Most Admired President: Poll [Hidden Content]
  11. This was a post by Shipwreckedcrew from X that made some great points. There are a few things that stood out that I bolded, the truck rang a bell..... Republican or Democrat, we can't hold the Government responsible for our own bad decisions. A person buying an 80K truck at 6% interest will pay 98K over the 84 months with a $1168 monthly note, then likely trade it in or get another truck once paid off. Ironic that this same person would probably complain about gas prices, when he could of purchased a 45K truck and put the other 45K in a savings account. Thoughts? The problem is there is nothing "wrong" with the "economy." Economic growth is rising and unemployment is falling. Prices remaining high because of PAST INFLATION isn't an "economy" thing. Home prices being high because of a shortage of affordable inventory for first or second time homebuyers isn't an "economy" thing. Buyers taking out car loans for 84 months at 15% interest rates, and being upside down in their equity for 36-48 months isn't an "economy" thing. Having a large portion of the college educated workforce emerge from academia with worthless degrees that employers place no value in for hiring purposes isn't an "economy" thing. Trump and the GOP are going to pay the price for an "economy" when the problems are not a feature of the "economy." They are a product of choices made by voters in their own lives. Gas prices have been expensive before. Interest rates have been high before. But I've never seen so many $60,000 pickup trucks and $85,000 SUVs being driven down the road ever in my life.
  12. It would not be a debate, it would be your opinion..... It is obvious to me you didn't think out your comment or you realize there are none or very little differences.
  13. Jack Smith is being questioned by Congress...... [Hidden Content]
  14. So only policies - what MAGA policy differs from old Republicans......No links please, just your opinion?
