Trump 2024?

We are still over a year away from primaries. The GOP shouldn’t be putting their thumbs on the scale at all. Let Trump attempt to capture the imagination of the country again. If he does, then I’ll vote for him. If he doesn’t, at least he had a fair shake to make his case.

That goes for everyone that may run.

peace to you

 

Then that would be most problematic. The Reps* had been at best lackluster in pushing for any of the things Trump went after and achieved, much of it without them.

Others vying for the nomination were weak me-toos or worse. And when the Reps had the chance, they did as usual and held back, e.g., leaving our country with no protection.

The Reps were losers before Trump and preferred being losers to having Trump. Without Trump they will most likely remain losers. Assuming they even have the desire, which appears absent (which may explain the lack of charisma), they still lack the fortitude—big league.


* The term Rep and Dem in my posts almost always, if not always, refers to officeholders or other powerful political influencers, not rank and file registrants, who have little influence.

 

JonC sez: "--My point is that Trump has become toxic for the GOP. Some of that is not deserved and based on DNC lies. Some of that is deserved. But a liability - even if unjustly so - is still a liability."

Unfortunately, I agree with the above! However much of that "toxicity" is simply that way too many are still clinging to all the media has said about him in the past; and in particular the distortion of his quotes about the '20 election.
Read the quote without the bias creeping in - as much as possible - and you can see what he is saying. Not worded very well I admit, but who among us has not had to explain what we said for more clarity. and who better than the media, to take a messy quote & run with a distortion that fits their agenda rather than asking for a fuller explanation!?
Now there are a few on this board that I would expect to grab this distortion and run with it, but those same posters are obvious for their TDS; the rest of you need to sit back and analyze the ACTUAL content of the quote and just try to see if you can possibly see another interpretation other than "DISMANTLING THE CONSTITUTION"
As far as his relation with the party, well, there are (seems so anyway) way too many dems in rep clothing for him NOT to be despised by quite a few Rs. After all he upset them as well!
I frankly believe that God is setting us up for a severe chastising, & for that reason He will allow the dems to regain control in '24 & complete their destruction of the once great USA!! Que sera, sera!!

 

Go back and re-read (slowly & carefully) my post and THEN make your reply.
Your answer tells me that either you did not read what I wrote, OR you are purposefully answering points never made.
You have done this with several of my posts, and I have noticed the same in other's posts in past!

Now I know it would be traumatic for you CryJK) but if I can't get straight answers from you, you will go on my ignore list!!

 

Well, well, well!! Seems “STAFF MEMBERS MAY NOT BE IGNORED”

So, Rev Bob/Squire/Salty/Whoever, would you please delete me from the BB membership roll, or advise steps to do so!? Thank you!!!!

 

You can do what you think is best, but I’d rather you reconsider.

peace to you

 

I'd like to see a bigger focus on preserving the American family in the GOP's agenda. Expansion of the child tax credit, tax incentives so that one parent can stay home with the child, restructured single family home benefits, tax structure favoring main street over wall street and deregulation of small businesses.

Big Business has made its bed with the kooky wokesters, let them lie in it. I wouldn't mind if the corporate tax rate was back as high as it was in the 1950s.

 

Our Founding Fathers had a fatal flaw. They did not deal with the issue of slavery. Second, individual States refused to give all humans the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Since this was not happening at the State level, which meant States were fundamentally breaking the cornerstone of our legal system, the Federal government was obligated to provide these rights to all persons in the Union regardless of States complaints. God was on the side of right, which is why the South was soundly defeated.

 

Yes, much of that is so. But before COTUS, there were the Articles of Confederation (and Perpetual Union).

COTUS was designed to give the federal government more power, but to hopefully limit it enough through its checks and balances, etc.

It seems there were quite a few arguments both ways regarding federalism, some fearing it would become too much government or grow too powerful.

Perhaps not just hindsight is 20/20.
