Trump lead in polls is increasing

[Onebadcad]

Abortion is a lose-lose for pubs, they need to steer clear of the issue.
It needs to remain a non-Fed issue, BUT it also should not be funded by taxpayers.

I somewhat agree on abortion but you ignored all the other issues that Trump has moved left on.

Abortion (Trump has moderated on this)
Gun rights (Trump: take guns first, bump stock ban)
Illegal immigration (Trump fought for an amnesty plan while POTUS)
Eliminating some agencies and moving some out of DC (not building a new expensive new building for the FBI)
Cutting Spending (Trump's record as POTUS was not good even before COVID)

You think Trump is weak on the border issues?

Abortion…

Why do you think DeSantis doesn't have the balls to take on the deep state but Trump does?

Based on their history, I'd suggest it is exactly the opposite. Look at what Trump did to the deep state during his first term...he hired a bunch of them for key positions and did nothing to cut their power. Contrast that with how DeSantis has destroyed the Democrat party in the state of Florida (yes, I know the Democrat party in Florida isn't the same as the deep state but it does show how he handles his enemies).

I know you want to believe Trump will go all in to take out the deep state if he gets elected again. I know you think he is a bad ass that will take no prisoners. Sadly, he made some of the same arguments in 2016 and did nothing when he became POTUS. Time and time again he targets someone as his enemy and then becomes BFFs with them 5 minutes after they say something nice about him.

It's OK to be fooled by Trump. Many people have been so far. Maybe one day you and the other Trumpsters will figure it out.

Very not conservative.

To answer your earlier question....I wouldn't like it if that happened. However, I'd make my judgement about that scenario based on the evidence that was presented.

All wedge issues. No one in Congress has any appetite to fix any of them beside 10-15 on one side or the other.

Ruling majority uni-party wants nothing to change.

Agreed that both parties suck on most of these issues. Trump does also.

Agreed.

Are you ignorant of Trump's attempt to get an amnesty plan passed while POTUS?

DeSantis is owned by his donors and the GOPe. They will tell him when to crap and how many piles.
The same donors who foolishly pushed him to run this cycle.

Are you ignorant to believe that Trump is weak on the illegal immigrant issue?

Not true. If you think this is true, post up some proof.

Trying to get amnesty for some illegals = weak. Note that I didn't say he was entirely weak on illegal immigration because he isn't but pushing amnesty is a leftist position.

You wouldn't "like that"?

JFC.

Awfully leftist of you to not be downright pissed off about blatant election interference.

Trump offered up the roughly, at that time, 3/4 million 'dreamers,' in exchange for a laundry list of what we need, including an end to birthright citizenship going forward. That was a good deal for pro-America factions, so of course it never even had a chance. I think Trump knew it didn't stand a chance, either, but put it out there to show how un-serious the uniparty actually is about solving the problem.

The left was going on and on about mUh DrEaMeRs. Trump offered them a deal, they passed, because why would they cut their own throats going forward just to get under a million of their people legalized? Why would they? They wouldn't, they didn't.

Yes, I want all the illegals deported in another "Operation Wetback" type push, but I would have been happy to trade the 'dreamers' for actual immigration legislation that would put a stop to the US being flooded by illegals that couldn't even get a tourist or work visa.

I disagree....they need to be crystal clear on what their stance is...hammer the hell out of the dims for abortion on demand. Get tough, and stop being apologetic.

It isn't as if he has "Property of the GOPe" tattooed on his ass. Use your brains, Junior.

I'll vote for him in 2028 unless somebody better comes along, but it isn't his time this time.

So, no proof. Typical.

[Tikiman]

Anyone else notice how nobody wants to admit to being a liberal, leftist democrat. Even when every post they make sounds like something a leftist would post, they're like "No, man, not me. I'm an independent." Reminds me of little dhimmi davey from the old place.

Prove to me that Hillary hasn't had 60 people "suicided". See how that works?

Wasn't that a "give back" on the border security issue? He was in favor of amnesty for those who are already here, IF AND ONLY IF, we get serious about border security going forward so that X years from now we don't have to hear the whining about millions of "dreamers", blah blah blah.
