Some are fair weather soldiers.

And how anyone, especially a "conservative", could admit to voting for brain dead biden (and basically the Obama crew ) is a mystery.

You are also ignorant regarding biases, I would explain but given your very low comprehension level, it would be a waste of bandwidth.

Correct - but before the banned him, they provided him an unfiltered, spin-free path to broadcast his thoughts to the American people. The stupid shit he said using this mechanism is a huge part of why he will never be re-elected.

This is what amuses me about this place and why I come back. There's maybe two dozen contributors here, mostly middle/age white dudes that think the world of political opinion revolves around them, it doesn't.

Have any of you guys gone to a real political discussion forum that's well run with no bias and properly moderated? If you had to discuss with people that represent the real world, older and younger voters of all races and religions both men and women you would see beyond your blinders. You would see that Trump supporters are out numbered 3 or 4 to one because they want the party to stop placating his ego and move on and they see the damage he has and still is doing to our great nation. But by all means, stay in your safe place and just make stupid comments when someone disagrees with you.

Trump had a golden opportunity to really make a difference. Hire from anywhere but DC or NY. Pretty much the simplistic thing you can do. His ego led him to believe the same greasy haired guidos as he was would make a difference. He choose to go with swampsters and NYers. Not the people that elected him.

He chose wrong. Buck stops here. Trump couldn’t choose then-don’t trust him to choose now.

Somewhat true. He could have made better hires. But many of the positions are not easy to find people for, so you go with what is handed you and build from there.

The corruption in the agencies and bureaucracies isn’t going to be fixed by one man in a couple of years.

How many years do we have and what did Trump build in the four years given him?

DeSantis has been doing wonders in Florida and has experience, dealing with government corruption, hiring outsiders, etc. Maybe he can’t fix it either but I’d rather role the dice with him than someone making noise but not progress.

You're proud of the dumpster fire YOU voted for? I just love the higher gas prices, higher electricity costs, higher food prices, tanking 401(k), money sent to Ukraine, arms sent to Ukraine just to name a few.

Thank you so very much for the shit show. You have once again shown your stupidity.

Tallahassee and DC are two completely different animals. If you don’t think that they will do a full court press to destroy DeSantis, you are dreaming.

And Trump did well considering he had zero support. Not even much from his own party.

The asshole Republicans had the house, senate, and Oval Office, and did nothing. Actually most of the never Trumpers in the party believed the Russian conspiracy hoax.

And that proves two things…
One, the Democrat machine with their willing media accomplices are good at what they do. Very good. Very corrupt. And very good.
Two, the Republicans are a bunch of idiots.

I don't care about the rest of the world. I'm more concerned about our country and state. I can afford to pay 6.50 a gallon but the taxes are a joke along with the Gov. I can afford to pay 4.9 interest on a new car even though i bought a new BMW under President Trump for 1.9. My mortgage is 2.25 what is it now under Biden? How about the food prices in our country? Please take the blinders off and you'll get more respect here.

during the last Pres election... Trump actually won a lot of counties. But, Biden won all the

cemeteries; so there's that.

Foreign countries effect even American food prices. You have production equipment, packaging, and crude oil relied on by other countries. As costs rise, so do taxes.
Now, who has the blinders on?
Sp why is it that all the inflation and other bad shit is just now decimating America in the last year and a half? Why not the 4 years before that? Why only once Brandon took office? Do a president's policies matter, or nah? Has reversing virtually every Trump policy made the US a better place to live? Has it helped you, personally? Are you better off now than you were two years ago? How about everyone you know? They better off now? Worse off? Same?
