If Trump cannot win the republican party in 2024, he cannot win the American voters.

You're living in dream world.

If Trump cannot win the Republican Party nomination then no quality candidate can. That includes DeSantis.

And all of that is with the Uniparty corrupting our elections in mind.

Each and every one of them will have to go on the record for all to see, if they believe Trump was robbed or not.

And that, right there, is exactly why I don't consider myself MAGA, and hope it goes the way of the dodo.

The proper mindset is that we voters were robbed. But you guys never phrase it that way because everything always ends up revolving around Trump in the end. It's not about the voters, it's not about the American people. It's just about Trump. And I can't tell you how sick I am of that.

You guys need to quit deluding yourself that there is some magical silent majority out there that secretly adores Trump. It doesn't exist. That's maybe 25% of the electorate, max.

"Secretly adores"?

You set up a hyperbolic straw man fallacy and then knock it down.

That is true and logical, but there is nowhere to run to.

We need to run towards the coming battle. It will be bloody, winning will be uncertain but it is coming and crushing us slowly now.

Soon the very hope of victory and reinstitution of the republican form of democracy will be erased forever.

What do we have to lose? I say our very souls.

A third party would guarantee a Rat win. It’s how we got Wilson, who was probably the worst, most destructive president of the 20th century and Bill Clinton.

You must have hated that Trump took his salary from We the People and gave it away...

I was robbed too, chin..

But I’m not running.
I didn’t get impeached on hoaxes.
I didn’t get raided by your FBI..

He did.

Sorry a former Democrat, turned Republican, turned MAGA, exposed your two party swamp party..

Buchanan was a Golden boy for the Republicans, then he ran against Bush. Suddenly he was an antisemite.

If Trump wins the GOP nomination in 24, they will run someone against him and he will be a Golden boy, though he may be an anti American.

If it’s not Trump, it really doesn’t matter who it is.

The better choice is to replace RINOs with conservatives who aren’t afraid of Rats calling them names.

Since the GOP/RNC is joined at the hip with the Communist/Democrat Party, we are in dire need of a “new” Second Party. One that will dedicate itself to serving the United States Constitution and the US Citizens.

We do have some hard decisions to make and I am more than ready to jettison the Assistant Democrats.

Note that this is from The Hill, and they know FULL WELL that if Trump runs 3rd Party, he’ll do just what Ross Perot did (and wanted to do), which was to assure a Democrat victory.

Fortunately, unlike many of his supporters, Trump is SMART ENOUGH to understand that.

I actually wonder if a 3rd party run would be the best tool to expose vote fraud.

If a 3rd party was formed and people actually switched their registration to the new party, there should be a baseline we could use to compare to a general election vote.

For instance, if 70 million people switched party, but Trump only received 50 million votes... something is very wrong.

It should be glowingly obvious that people motivated enough to change their party would also vote for Trump. The numbers should match within a margin of error.

Use whatever phrase you want. There isn't any more than perhaps 25% of the electorate that would consider themselves hardcore Trump supporters. To the extent you think there is a secret, silent majority out there that dies, you are deluding yourself.

More than 80% of Americans live in what are defined as urban areas, which includes suburbs. Less than 18% are rural, which is where Trump's support clearly is strongest.

I’m at the point of thinking we are worse off by electing the likes of Murkowski, Collins, Romney, etc. than Democrats.


Trust me. I won’t be voting for any of those types. I prefer DeSantis at this point but I would certainly vote for Trump again if he’s the nominee.

I don’t believe in cutting my nose off to spite my face. That’s what we’re doing if it’s Trump or nothing.
