Part of President Trump's platform for 2024

At what cost?

“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.” Donald Trump 12/3/2022

Any one wants to change the constitution from its original intent through redefining the words in it that is activism. Progressivism is activism.

What about politicians who advocate the termination of all rules, regulations and and articles, even those found in the Constitution?

It is ironic, but only a "RINO" would support Trump now. His willingness to terminate the rules, regulations, and articles found in the US Constitution in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election places Trump far too progressive to remain in the GOP.

 

I agree with his platform as well.

While focusing on the 2020 election is troubling and speaks mostly to a segment of the alt-right, his willingness to terminate portions of the US Constitution in an effort to be installed as President is politically unforgivable.

Hindsight is 20/20. While I detest the DNC platform and voted Trump both times, it appears we may have escaped a greater evil.

What is more bothersome is some supposed Republicans support Trump (they are in truth Progressives).

I hope the GOP finds a viable candidate and keeps the platform.

 

The more I think about it, the more problematic a Trump candidacy appears.

We are talking about the office of President, a position that demands one to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

With one statement Trump has disqualified himself. How can a person who seeks to terminate aspects of the US Constitution in order to be installed as President be trusted to protect and defend the Constitution he threatens?

I hope the GOP comes up with a good option. The DNC is not much better than Trump when it comes to the Constitution. Their only grace is they stop short of Trump's statement.

Imagine if Biden made the suggestion to terminate parts of the Constitution. We'd all be calling for impeachment (and rightly so).

 

I am not talking about challenging electors or elections. I am talking about Trump publicly calling for parts of the US Constitution to be terminated so that he can be installed as President.

That is bad. At least the Dems are sneaky about their betrayal.

To clarify - I view somebody who supports a progressive as being progressive.

But you are right. People often support things they do not agree with. We have anti-abortion Democrats, for example.

I agree the Democrats are willing to trash the US Constitution.

I am not sure what that has to do with Trump.

My point was had Biden actually announced that parts of the US Constitution should be terminated then we would be demanding impeachment.

 

I supported Trump.

But I regret supporting a politician who would call for the termination of parts of the US Constitution so that he could be installed as President.

The reason I say we may have escaped the greater evil is we now know that Trump is not a patriot (that he is willing to trash the Constitution for his gain). What we do not know is how that would have been manifested should he have continued as President.

That is why I used "may". We don't know what he would have done.

We only know he was willing to at least go so far as to terminate the US Constitution.

I agree Biden and Obama should have been impeached. Hillary Clinton should be in jail. But that doesn't have anything to do with Trump calling for the termination of the Constitution.

I do not understand why, when we look at how Trump is disqualified, people keep bringing up Democrats and their crimes.

A person's wrongs are not justified by pointing to the wrongs of others.

I realize that politics is compromise. It is weighing wrongs against rights.

But are we really considering a presidential candidate who called for the termination of parts of the US Constitution as a viable candidate????

If Trump had a chance to be elected (I do not believe he did) then he lost it with that statement.

I am starting to suspect it is a show and Trump may be working to guarantee a Biden victory. I can see no other explanation. It looks as if he is trying to amputate a section of Republicans and galvanize the DNC.

And I am, I suppose, attacking Trump's position now. NOT his platform (I hope a viable candidate picks up and carries that torch). He has disqualified himself to protect and defend the US Constitution by calling for its termination.

 

I guess this best highlights my point.

The Democrats are progressive. They use the US Constitution when it suits them, but trash the Constitution when it does not.

Trump has called for the same practice when he called for the termination of parts of the US Constitution dealing with elections so that he could be installed as President.

Is this now the GOP modus operandi as well?

Any candidate (Republican, Democrat, 9r Independent) who calls for the termination or suspension of the US Constitution is unfit. The reason is they are seeking office to protect that which they are advocating to terminate.

Those who support these candidates are supporting what these candidates ate calling for.

They are not patriots.

 

I agree election fraud (on all sides) need to be addressed.

But how can terminating the US Constitution (or the parts preventing Trump from achieving his goal) be a good thing?

The President is to protect and defend the US Constitution. How can a candidate who calls for its termination be trusted to protect and defend it?

When you were a marine you vowed to protect and defend the US Constitution even from its domestic enemies. I suppose as a former marine you are no longer under that oath, but at one time the Constitution was important enough to you that you'd protect and defend it as best you could.

 

But we have to consider the consequences.

Electing a President who is not only unwilling to support and defend the US Constitution but calls for its termination undermines the nation far more than the Dems at this time will.

What if Trump wins, but next time the Dems are in power. Having allowed Trump to set the president that the US Constitution is irrelevant there US no longer any bases to contest the Dems.

We could not logically argue for the right of the unborn to live as protected Constitutionally.

We could no longer expect any protection of religious freedoms, of the freedom of speech....everything that was protected (even if that protection was abused by the Dems) would be subject to being terminated or suspended.

Trump has made himself a greater enemy to freedom than the Dems as he is seeking to remove the Constitution that has kept so much at bay.

Would Trump be successful? Of course not. We have the SCOTUS and a military that has vowed to protect and defend what Trump seeks to terminate.

But to allow such a candidate to be President is wrong.
