“Trump’s fisty nature is not a bug, it’s a feature. We got tired of compromising Republicans bowing to an enemy that never returned the favor. RATs are the party of evil and should be treated as such.”


That is true - Trump was first and foremost a reaction against the nad-less, spineless, Republicans that promised us everything in every election, and then turned into a bunch of whimpering, go along - get along, inside-the-Beltway scumbags who do anything BUT represent us.

desolation would exist if Biden would be our only hope.

I absolutely agree with you about what Trump is - our last chance for a peaceful resolution of the corruption and political/ideological rot that has infected this nation. Either he fixes it (while necessarily stepping on a few toes with steel boots), or we will face a civil war like Russia did 100 years ago. I do think that you’re right - 2020 America is not 1918 Russia - we have a vastly different heritage and culture, and we weren’t just bled half to death by an incompetent government in a world war. We have LOTS to defend, and plenty of means (and experience, in the form of our veterans) to do that defending against the American Leftists.

My paternal grandfather was born in Russia at the turn of the 20th century. His father had worked his ass off for decades to be fairly successful, and the Communists took everything he had except the house he lived in (and they later took his very life for trying to rent part of it out when he was old and sick with cancer, just to put food on the table). My GF got out in ‘23, but most of his family was effectively kept in a giant, open-air, prison for 3 generations. It is possible that American Leftists will do the same to me and my family as the Russian Leftists did to my great grandfather and his...but I assure anyone reading this that this time it won’t be for free.

Andrew Klaven is sad. He’s one of the elites and doesn’t even realize it.

Who are Republicans going to run in ’24?

I hope we find somebody as feisty as Trump. I don't think Pence has it in him.

  1. Since the passage of the 12th Amendment, VP has been the political heir of the president. Consequently you don’t get a whole lot better credential for the nomination to succeed a two-term president of your own party than VP. VP’s get the nod a lot.

  2. OTOH getting the nomination is hardly the same as winning the election; since the ratification of the 12th Amendment only two sitting presidents - Andrew Jackson and Ronald Reagan - have had strong enough coattails to see their sitting VP elected POTUS.
    • VP is no more an executive position than senator is, and only one senator - Warren G. Harding in 1920 - has defeated a governor for an open presidential seat.

    • No senator has ever defeated a sitting president’s reelection bid.

    • Winning presidential candidates are shooting stars, in the sense that they win national office quickly - less than two decades after winning statewide elected office.

From this we see that Biden sure has a lot of precedent against his candidacy. And if Trump has a successful 2nd term, VP Pence will stand where you stand to win the nomination - and former governor Mike Pence, who attained national office only 4 years after attaining statewide office, would stand to be a strong candidate in November 2024.

This is not to say that I think the sun rises and sets on Mike Pence.
Just a historical reflection . . .

Trump understands things that Klaven doesn’t even know exist. Trump saw the flaws in the conservative purists unbridled devotion to free trade, even when it wasn’t reciprocated by our trading ‘partners’. Trump understood that it was going to take more than a good debater to straighten out this country. Klaven pines for the day when do nothing talking heads like himself lead the conservative movement - straight to irrelevance.

I think Trump has shown us the value of having someone with solid executive experience as the president - preferably business experience - as well as independence. For many years now, our presidents were presidents in name only - at least to some degree. They were managed by the deep state bureaucracy which was really running the show for the benefit of their globalist overlords. The Democrat and Republican party had devolved into mechanisms for ensuring that a compliant manageable candidate would be nominated.

That needs to change. We need a candidate who can actually lead, not be lead.

Elon Musk has the business experience. I’m not sure I fully trust him though. He’s had a complicated relationship with the deep state in the past. Maybe he’s broken free of them, but I’m still on the fence about him.

Also, Elon Musk is ineligible to be president. He was born in South Africa to South African parents.

"but I assure anyone reading this that this time it won’t be for free."

And I assure you that you will not be alone. I am committed to preventing Socialism/Communism, whatever they consequences to my life. I will NOT let my life be decided by a piece of human scum like Marx. Never will this happen. Being American is absolutely unequivocally incompatible with Marxism, in any form, and I plan to live an die as an American.

Thank you Steely Tom, I would’ve been crushed if no one had posted a pic of everybody’s favorite mailman (well, maybe second favorite after Newman)

Now if you can just add Obama sitting on Soros’s lap (or Brennan’s) it will be complete.

Glad to hear that, but I assumed as such when I made the comment. I hope that there are 200 million that have that opinion and determination, but I fear that an awful lot less are so committed; most tend to just hunker down and hope to survive, and as is obvious, quite a number want to destroy this country either out of pure hatred, or out of the incredibly misguided and mistaken belief that it is inherently evil and that taking our Constitutional system apart will improve society. It will, of course, do no such thing - even if there wasn’t a fight about it, and there most assuredly WILL be such a fight, a fight that will likely cost 10-25 million lives.

If the President can’t beat a senile, corrupt rapist and pedophile then he deserves to lose. I am remaining confident that he will prevail.

Had this in my browser for several days to respond to you-—tardy but posting nevertheless:

In order to vote Trump2020, I notice that many on the right must damn Trump by faint praise and hold their noses-—the right’s version of virtue signaling. Who are they trying to impress?

IMO, Klaven and the too-large company like him should drop to both knees and thank God they have Trump as a choice in 2020.
