I do not think I am in the trap. I would vote for DeSantis and possibly others. I would vote for Trump if no one stepped forward that I could back and Trump would back.

“Why so many RINOs?”

There are RINO politicians because there are RINO voters. The RINO politicians will remain until the root cause is dealt with.

Absolutely right.

In January, 2021 Biden called for harmony and a unified country all nicely together following his progressive march to the future. No dice.

All those years the wimpy, reaching across the aisle compromisers ensured casual acceptance of deadly abortions, loss of freedom of speech over social media , higher taxes on achievers and ridiculously wild budget spending that fuels inflation. They went to posh parties in DC with the Dems and celebrities. We went to the poor house.

Out of curiosity, does anybody out there know the three candidates endorsed by Trump that lost?

he has a pretty good record for someone that you consider “divisive” ... which is only your opinion and nothing more ...

Trump’s 2020 record was 120-2, and this year, it is 17-1.

Where is this tweet? The story I heard he said it to an interviewer. Unless I see or hear it from Trump himself, I don’t believe it.

It wasn’t a ‘Tweet”. I used the wrong term.

In The Guardian from fri, Dec 10, 2021.
The headline says “Trump launched profane tirade about Netanyahu in interview.
Trump was speaking with book author Barak Ravid.
‘Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu were the closest of political allies during the four years they overlapped in office. Not any more,”Ravid wrote.
“I haven’t spoken to him since, Trump told Ravid in an interview. F**k him!”.
The final straw for Trump was when Netanyahu congratulated President-Elect Biden for his election victory while Trump was still disputing the result. Ravid wrote.

Trump showed the public the level corruption in government.

That being said, the American public has a lot of work to do to cleanup government corruption.

As things stand now:
There are 50 GOP Senators and I only count the following who have some MAGA credentials-—Kennedy of LA, Paul of KY, Cruz of TX, Hawley of MO. The other 46 GOP Senators are CINO’s (Conservatives in Name Only)

There are 215 GOP House Members and I only count the following who have MAGA credentials-—Jordan of Ohio, Gaetz of FL, MTG of GA, Gosar of AZ, Brooks of AL, Gohmert of TX and a handful of others. The other 200 GOP House Members are CINO’s (Conservatives in Name Only)

There are 32 GOP Governors and I only count the following who have MAGA credentials-—DeSantis of Florida.

So folks we have a lot of work to do to get rid of GOP CINO leaders and replace with GOP MAGA leaders.

Right now I would prefer Trump to be the kingmaker and not the candidate. I think he is too divisive although I would vote for him.

* * *

Curious what’s meant by “divisive”? Is Biden divisive? How about Nancy Pelosi? Is Liz Cheney divisive?

The country is highly divided. Are you referring to Trump calling out RINOs and other enemies on Twitter?

Or was it another form of divisive-ness.

Trump was pretty open to working with the RINOs. It was nothing but a practical necessity because they owned the Senate. Remember all the RINOs he initially hired for White House jobs?

Heck, Trump named RINO Pence as his running mate and was loyal to him till the very end when Pence refused to mention the election problems that are now being proven very real.

My opinion: being divisive was a powerful tool for getting things done. I am voting for Trump because he produces RESULTS, and most of the time, his form of divisive WORKED.

DeSantis is a good man, but he lacks the political and managerial experience of President Trump. But give DeSantis 8 years in his job as Governor and he should be in an excellent position to run for President and win.

Right now I would prefer DeSantis to be a Governor and not a candidate for President. I think he is too inexperienced and lacks the SOLID track record of Presieent Trump. . . but I would vote for DeSantis if he were the nominee.

In fact, a KingMaker who delivers a 137 to 3 endorsement record is the kind of person who should be KING! 137 barons owe him a favor or two.

Unless, of course, you’re talking about a certain Governor Brian unKEMPt, who rules over the Georgia Dominion. He doesn’t return favors, except with Stacey Abrams, Xi Jinping the Covid King, and his Secretary of State partner in crime, Rats-n-vote-burglar.

I know one is the incumbent that Trump endorsed that Lauren Boebert defeated.

Another was a special election where the democrat won.

Can’t recall the third.

I believe Trump won in 2020. He got what? about 76 or 77 million votes? And he probably got more.

Why would I want to dump somebody who I believe had enough votes to win.

Call Trump "decisive" if you want. I know the Fake Media calls him that.

Trump has a strong personality and I believe more people like that than dislike that.

Trump picked against Boebert?

That really raises concern with me with every endorsement Trump makes given that he batted 1000 in the terrible category with every appointment he made while president or those he left in their positions.

"I like Trump, but he is too divisive" sounds like a slogan - the kind developed at DNC headquarters for distribution by their embedded agents. Such slogans go way back - as in: "I like what McCarthy is trying to do, but I can't stand his methods."

We can do it, too: "I appreciate what Black Lives Matter is trying to accomplish, but I wish they would crack down on the street criminals in their ranks." This kind of talk drives them insane. :)

No. Bad fit. Let him be the kingmaker. It suits him and his skill set, and we need one, desperately.

pssssst....we are at war with the Communist/DNC party for the survival of America, our Constitution, culture and sovereign borders...just to name a few.

We sure as hell don't need a polite country club GOP republican.

America NEEDS a pro-America street fighter for lead patriots in our ongoing war.

Anyone who "feels" he's too divisive is well....a freakin' snowflake Karen unable toi grasp reality.
