In December of 1776, General Washington and his small army were retreating back across New York, New Jersey, and into Pennsylvania. They were hungry, cold, and so lacking in necessities that many men were barefoot in freezing temperatures.
Why were they there? Because just five and a half months earlier, the Declaration of Independence had been signed. These men believed in those self-evident truths so much, they were willing to die for them — as Nathan Hale said, his only regret was that he had “but one life to lose for his country.”
As much as we might want to, we can’t ignore the fact that there’s still a massive faction of anti-American and anti-Trump operatives cozily nestled under the cover of the Big Top of the Republican circus. This is the very reason I argue against Big Tent politics, and demand ideological purity that adheres to the Constitution — we cannot act as cowards then claim it was only in the name of civility.
We’ve got Lindsey Graham, who just introduced “pro-life” legislation, but in reality the move would codify abortion into federal law so long as the murders took place before the 15th week of the child’s life; and then there’s Laura Ingraham, who recently showed her hand when she she said:
The country I think is so exhausted. They’re exhausted by the battle, the constant battle, that they may believe that, well maybe it’s time to turn the page if we can get someone who has all Trump’s policies, who’s not Trump.
Truly, the Swamp runs deep.
I know it’s easy to set our sights on the Democrats and the left (I do it all the time), because there’s no doubt they’re given over to demonic agendas —

Trump has brought others out in the open so I will support outsiders like Doug Mastriano here in Pennsylvania.
If the candidate looks like they will be hauled off to jail then I will consider supporting them so to speak.
True, and so what? Nothing is guaranteed in life.
Olivia Murray, is a fool if she thinks any other Republican has a chance.
When did the American Thinker start hiring GW Bush League writers?
Those are the neocon talking points.
The size of that “Massive Fraction” in numbers wouldn’t fill the stands of a middle school football field!
This “Massive Fraction” is only large in noise and that’s it!
True, the Republican Party elite does not want a truth-teller like Trump, but that was the case in 2016 as well, and he totally destroyed the competition.
I suspect he’ll easily win the nomination if he decides to run.
Who creates the political drama? The MSM.
Sometimes I feel like I am sitting in movie theater with a bunch of people watching a movie with a plot twist and then a really sad ending.
I picked up on the plot twist awhile ago and now I am just waiting for my fellow theater goers to realize how it ends too.
There is no coming back from where this country has gone. The only question is how quickly the tyranny will overtake us.
“...the people aren’t the ones who select the presidential nominee — Republican Party delegates do.”
Well if the people select Trump but the delegates select someone else, then the Republicans will find themselves to be a party without any voters.
Washington will never let Trump be President or anyone pro-American again. He did everything that he could to save America and keep it together. We need to split up the country. It’s the only peaceful solution. Elections will just keep us on this downward trajectory until people start fighting and we all go down.
Agreed.
Trump’s policies and administration were great. Country was doing very well. On all fronts.
You have problems with rational analysis and reasoning abilities.
Oh just STFU.
The nomination is Trump’s. PERIOD!
No one could or will beat him.
Trump lacks the ability to dismantle the Deep State or even drain the swamp a little bit, and that was demonstrated to dramatic effect when his own appointee raided his house.
The swamp is deeper than ever. Four years of DJT set us back in a huge way.
Doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of something...
> Trump’s policies and administration were great.
Yeah? I think we need to review things in some detail.
There are key critical failures that America simply can’t survive another round of, from his AG picks to handing the keys to the kingdom to Tony Fauci to letting rioters burn cities nationwide without interference to letting the election get stolen right out from under him despite very clear warnings they intended to do exactly that
dude, he lost
time to come to grips with this - Dems have his number, Trump is a loser, they know how to beat him
his days of “winning” for us are long over
If Trump runs I don't see any way he loses.
If he runs, he’s the nominee
My guess is you were against him before anything you mention.
Trump will win big against all comers. He teams up with DeSantis as his vp and he will win too big for the dems to cheat.
you are 100% wrong
I was an enthusiastic supporter and gave him a pass on way too much until he sold us out with his cowardice on COVID
you’re just not intelligent enough to process that real Americans who were never ever anti-Trump have real problems with the guy
I’ve spent nearly three years fighting the problems he left us, while you’ve probably been playing fanboi sitting on your ass doing nothing the entire time
