    "60% of Americans Say a Donald Trump 2024 Bid Would Be 'Bad for the Country,' According to Poll"

    Above from the site noted!
    Remember that something like 80% thot Biden was leading the country down the wrong path; inflation/border/crime were the MAIN issues: many more indicators suggesting a red tsunami -- didn't happen!!

    Just maybe could the "POLLS" re: Trump be just as corrupted????

    Just a thought!!??

    Too many who were not Dems voted for Biden to prevent Trumps reelection.

    Personally, I like Trumps policies and just about everything (as far as policies) he implemented.

    But (and this is a huge but....one "t") we don't need a Presidency to be devisive. Many voted in hopes Biden was sincere in at least trying to unite (obviously he wasn't). Biden and Trump looked like two bullies on a middle school playground.

    The only hope (at this time) for Biden is that Trump run. Trump, IMHO, is one reason the "red wave" was an impossibility.

    Yep, I was amazed at the folks who were against T simply because he was not a "nice" person, and he said ugly words.
    The fact that he brought America back to some version of sanity and world respect didn't factor in the equation for these "prima donnas"!
    I can only say that if we do win the house, then I believe God is giving us one more chance before his judgement falls!

    Even those who can’t see the forest for the trees may be lining up for Trump after two more years of guaranteed devastation. The whole global crowd is preparing the way…..Bezos, FB boy, & on & on, layoffs, no diesel for the ‘supply line’, bad interest rates, the ‘r’ word, maybe they need a real war?

    Trump didn’t ever want to commit our boys to useless wars, but those tweets………who could take it?! Think those tweets had anything to do with how he, & the office of the president were beng treated? Look at his family….does he look like a bad dad? A mean guy? He knows a lot more about what’s going on behind the scenes than we do, much of it he can’t say, doesn’t mean he can tolerate it quietly. He was pretty transparent that way, one of the things I liked about him.

    It might be true. Not because Trump would make a bad President. The 60% just might vote for someone worse just to not elect Trump.

    So be it. Trump is only Prez since Reagan to actually accomplish anything. He is also the only one that didn't start a war.
    He is anti establishment, anti war machine; and y'all fall for the orange man bad garbage.

    I'm not sure. I would like to see the GOP take the House. But I would not say any secular party would be God giving us one more chance.

    The nation gets the leaders it deserves. That these were close races, the GOP didn't take the Senate (and if they do take the House it will not be by a large margin) speaks volumes about the heart of our nation.

    Secular governments being divisive over the people governed is never good.

    But I do view your passage as very applicable today. What harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? GREAT POINT.

    Exactly!! Considering the state of our nation today, the fact that the “DEVILS BRIGADE” has a strong (?) rock to move from their hitherto easy rolling along, then yes, I would say that the Rs are God’s method of giving us one more chance.
    I think He let us see for the last two years just what the opposition is capable of, and should we (as a nation) continue to choose THEM as our leaders our demise is certain and pretty quick.
    Can we restrain them enough to regain sanity & common sense for two more years; then hopefully re-route our national destiny????? Remains to be seen!?!?

    Why are Bush and Obama breaking their necks to declare whatever Trump is going to announce tonight will be "disinformation" if all he's going to do is announce he's running for POTUS? @DevinNunes @Kash

    I see the DNC as an easily identifiable evil (the moral aspects of their platform are the sins of Romans 3). But I view the GOP as equally evil, just a wolf in sheep's clothing. The former is more dangerous to the nation while the latter is more dangerous to churches.

    Dunno.

    I can understand Bush being against the idea as it'd be a nail in the GOP coffin for 2024 (he'd take too many votes from the Republicans). Obama (and Biden, if he wants another term) is probably posturing, praying that Trump runs.

    But can't see how it'd be disinformation.

    Trump is doing a very good job of driving all centrists to vote for the Democrats, no matter how terrible that candidate is.

    How and why the Republican Party keeps shooting itself in the foot by pandering to Trump is beyond me.

    I would vote Republican for anyone besides Trump, but if Trump is nominated, I simply won't vote for him nor will I vote for a Democrat. Instead, I will vote for a 3rd Party candidate.

    People who support Trump are simply deluded in their thinking.

    Saw some of the speech. Read reports he never mentioned other repubs that might run. Good move on his part.

    It was as good of as announcement that he could have.

    I think he should publicly apologized to Pence for calling him a coward on Jan 6, acknowledged Pence was right that once the State legislatures certified the results and sent electors to congress that Biden was constitutionally elected as POTUS.

    Every question about Jan 6 should be answered by pointing out two things.

    1. His offer of national guard troops for security on Jan 6 was rejected by Polosi and mayor of DC.

    2. He told supporters to “peacefully and patriotically” let their voices be heard.

    I guess we will see

    peace to you

    Nothing even close to equally evil. There are some RINO snakes, but the conservative faction is not evil. If the church did it's job, it would not have to use politics. Politics is not ideal but the church has become so powerless and neutered, that it's the only practical stop gap it has available.
