Ditto that. Both Trump Jr. and Chelsea Clinton are waiting in the wings. And that’s just where they should stay. Off to the side, and out of the way.
I get that you like being lied to by politicians, so you should continue to be just fine.
He has to leave eventually, it’s in the Constitution...
Eventually. I like that!
Let’s see...isn’t protecting our borders also in there? And, where is the part that says healthcare is mandatory?
Maybe we should play by the lib rule book, on this one :-)
Come up with some way to change it up a bit, to fit OUR’s and POTUS’ MAGA agenda :-)
I actually sick of being surrounded by people that call themselves conservatives, that do nothing, and look at any reason to breakdown and then to cut-n-run, while they strut around and call leftists soyboys.
That man has not “lied” to me, so I wont be wearing a skirt with you and falling onto a fainting couch.
A President Rand Paul would be our very last chance at getting the federal deficit under control. Trump doesn’t seem to be too interested in that.
Ask the military intelligence guys who their four other prospects were besides Donald Trump.
There shall come a day when somebody else succeeds Donald J. Trump in the office of the Presidency of the United States of America. It is difficult to picture what the defining characteristics of that successor shall be.
Would it be a continuation of the lofty ideals and prodigious accomplishments of Team Trump? Or would a repudiation of much of that legacy be first order of business?
We got Barack Obama because George W. Bush would not fight for an agenda based on the same principles that Trump applied, to “make America great again”, and unused, those principles were tossed aside, an airy dismissal of the gravity of the situation. We kept Barack Obama for two terms because, again, there was no gumption for taking the fight TO the public, by either John McCain, designated loser, or by Mitt Romney, another designated loser.
We dodged a bullet in 2016 only because of the really aggressive campaign waged by Team Trump, which prevented the nomination of Jeb Bush, another designated loser, and election by acclamation of the truly feeble candidacy of Herself, who only expected the coronation as her divine right as inheritor of the mantle.
Another really aggressive campaign, with a person of truly great drive and intellect, seems to be receding into the background, as there is no honest successor in the wings, much as Ronald Reagan was succeeded by a person of far less charisma and strong guiding principles. Not to knock George H.W. Bush, but he was an administrator, much better suited to appointive office than elective office.
Now Mike Pence is a fine and upstanding man, and it would be difficult in the extreme to fault him in any way, but again, none of the fire in the belly that makes for really brilliant leadership over the long term.
Now we may yet be surprised by Vice President Pence, as there may be a smoldering ember that could take flame as the situation arises. But it has not yet been fanned up.
And if it is not, who next? Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio come to mind, but they each come with some considerable baggage, and honestly, there are few others with high enough profiles to be considered at this early date.
A ham sandwich.
The only one on your list that is a natural born citizen and Constitutionally eligible is Tom Cotton.
“Haley - NO. She is a snake. Remember the Confederate statue and flag issue?”
I do remember that. But it’s worked out fine for her.
Who's next? I'd lean to Rand Paul, because he's a legit outsider and sincerely on the side of smaller government. But he's going to have to be less accommodating and more ready to fight like a pit bull. Cruz and Hailey will do in a pinch.
Trump Jr.? Ugh. Throw him in the pile with Jeb, Michele, Hillary, Chelsea, Drooly Kennedy, every other Kennedy, Andy Cuomo, everybody who rode a relative's coattails to the top. Ha! I guess you could say the same about Rand Paul, except that he's more formidable than the namesake that brought him to the show.
None of the above, Kurt.
Pretty much everyone on the list is terrible. Crenshaw’s an unknown and will probably stay that way (perhaps through no fault of his own), Nimrata Haley is GOP establishment to the core - basically a female McCain, Cotton and Cruz are right on the issues but have the charisma of a wet noodle and a lizard, respectively (Cruz could barely beat a flaming liberal in deep-red Texas, which tells you a lot about his electability elsewhere), and as for Trump Jr, that’s the worst choice of all (well, at least he isn’t advocating Ivanka) - if I wanted political dynasties, I’d move to the UK or some other nation with a monarch.
Doesn’t matter. Any Republican would be seen as a homophobic racist who hates women. If Jeb Bush was President, the Democrats would be doing the same thing to him. This wasn’t specifically geared towards Trump.
AD - After Donald.
Balderdascious defeatest drivel.
The question is asked by a coward who has given up.
One wonders if Kurt will go to work for the Weekly Standard?
So what?
Obama admitted he’s Kenyan-born.
A big hell NO on Niki!
