Most people didn't vote for Biden, they voted against Trump. I just don't think those same people will have had a change of heart. I put it like this.... every day they're burying a handful of Trump voters while a TON of liberal thinkers reach the voting age. At this point I think that Trump gets the nomination and loses to any democrat.... Biden, or otherwise. I think we may get to see who's right.....lol I don't see any Republican getting ahead of Trump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have any bumper stickers…..and that goes for any politician. also I didn’t vote for trump in the primary. does personality really matter when it comes to putting policies in place to better the American life? I ll answer….NO! I understand the whole “being electable” portion of the contest but is Desantis much different than Trump…as far as stance on issues and policies?

"our guy might be a complete piece of crap, and if you don't like that you're just a snowflake." I don't care how good of a President he'd make (which is debatable), when you vote for him knowing that it will cause another democrat to get elected.... Those are definitely letting your "feelings" get in the way of winning. I'll be honest here... Trump's diehard fans that I know tend to BE like him... Just insufferable jerks that most people don't like. And most of them are what my economics professor would call "the great unwashed." Relatively ignorant of the big picture. Trump's opponents have to be careful about criticizing him because they don't want to alienate Trumpers should they end up with the nomination. Trump has no qualms about crapping all over everybody if he can get his old bedroom back... the sad thing is that there are so many fools who enjoy his schtick. I think if there's a single republican candidate that rises up early and confronts Trump head on, there might be a chance. If we have 16 candidates, it's done. I also think that Trump's going to have a much harder time fundraising this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unless something drastic (and I mean DRASTIC), it will be almost impossible to keep Trump from being Republican nominee in 24..... Why? He has a HUGE base that will vote for him. The more in the race, Desantis, Haley, etc just dilutes the votes to Trumps advantage. WE have to face it, he received more votes than any other President (except Biden).......if Biden runs, Trump wins. I don't see a repeat with all the obvious mental issues we see with Biden. It would be cruel if people close to him let him run.......and Trump would beat Kamala .......so Dems are in a pickle.....IMO Sounds like major coping and I’m really not trying to be rude or facetious here Trump only won (once) because democrats were stupid enough to elect the most hated woman of all time in Hillary Clinton. Anyone else and trump gets smoked at the polls. just like 2020 and 2022.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it does when a candidate's personality precludes them from actually winning an election. It doesn't matter what the policies are when you can't get elected to install them. I doubt that Desantis is much different than Trump in regards to political beliefs... I'm not saying he's the guy, but he isn't going to drive people to vote Democrat like Trump does. Dick Cheney would have made a fine President, he was just unelectable. Nobody thought Trump had a chance and he pulled it off. Four years later he got smoked, and has done nothing but further alienate potential swing voters since with riots, suits, charges, investigations, character assassinations on his "enemies," etc... and all but about 25% of voters don't want it. I'm telling you.... unemployment is at record lows, home prices are through the roof... Biden isn't getting blamed for inflation. Is the media giving him a pass? Undoubtedly. Is there some huge "we need change, and we need it now" movement in the works? It doesn't seem like it. Trump is poisonous at this point to all but his most loyal subjects. bullets13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonTheCon2024 Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 it’s going to be a disaster for GOP in 2024 if trump gets the nomination.. and the trumptards won’t have anyone to blame but themselves. Literally anyone else beats Biden but they’re in a cult and too just too stupid to see the bigger picture here and then the next cycle of fake news, stolen election, grifting and “donate to save America” continues.. bunch of absolute SUCKERS who keep falling for this BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some probably do enjoy his schtick, others, like myself, enjoyed the success the country had while he was President. I don’t actually know any diehard Trump fans, the folks I know that would vote for him again don’t like the guy personally. That’s why the Trumptard, Trumper, MAGA hat wearing comments don’t mean anything to me, that and the fact that the opinions of the posters that make them are fairly worthless to me.

In a fairly run election I’d take you up on that bet everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. Say what you want but the guy won in 2020. He received 12 million more votes than he did his first election. Most ever by a Mile in a 2nd term Presidential run and it’s not even close. Obama received 4 million less votes in his 2nd presidential run an still won.

I get his character flaws but again policies are what I’m looking at. I also realize that a good part of the country see only the ugliness (I wonder why, several factors including his own) People have an issue with not seeing past the outward ugliness……we are talking about our country and it’s future and protecting that future. when I see president I see leader of the nation….our representative to other nations…..especially when it comes to our borders. Of course Congress plays it’s part. The liberal party in my opinion doesnt possess the policy backbone to stand firm and be direct. nationally we need to take up the flag as a nation to other nations “DONT TREAD ON ME” there s many ways to show we mean business without going to war where lives are not lost…..IMO Trump did that and I also believe Desantis would be the same way. as of now Desantis will get my vote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a knock down drag out primary for the Republican Party. And like I’ve said before, there are things that haven’t even happened yet that will shape the Republican Primaries. Should be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is what it is and we have to deal with it. I hope Trump doesn't run simply because we have to work around American Idol voters. Saddest part is, that's not gonna get any better.
