Age IS real

Fair enough. But people age differenly. I know people my age (in my 50s) who look and act like they are in their 80s. My father on the other hand is in his 80s and when we're out people mistake him for my brother. He looks and acts like he's in his 50s -- and a good 50s at that.

Trump does not act or look like he's in his 70s. Heck, he just pulled/is pulling a 24 hour day and was/is fully functional and robust the entire time. I know people in their 30s who could not do that.

Your ignorance is on full display again. Damn this is fun...

The MSM has been hemorrhaging views because of the one-sided blatant negative coverage of Trump over the years.

You are seriously dumb as a rock. Not a joke....

Keep posting Mr Ridiculous..keep posting. This is fun.

Watch the video. Trump is literally proud of his lockdowns. He says it over and over.

Someone else noted Trump would be a “lame duck.” That normally would apply. Trump is an exception to that rule IMHO. He will hit the ground running and not stop until the very last day of his term. Normal rules do not apply to Trump.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Very well said. You hit the nail on the head with this post.

And you don't know Midwesterners esp. Ohio and Iowa people. Let's add Texas in. I've lived in all three -- but also sadly California (shudder - glad I escaped).

Those on our side generally ignore the press. That includes Fox. Weather? Who cares. This is not even that bad for January here. Media "calling" something? We could not care less.

Agree regarding MSM greed. Just think you are VASTLY overestimating it's impact. Also, to say this "destroyed the purpose of the caucus" is IMHO a gross exaggeration. Trump won with 51%. If anything "calling" the results early might have convinced some Trump supporters to stay home and not brave the weather to vote.

If Donald Duck was running against Mickey Mouse my view of the “network early call” being irrelevant would stand in this case.

Caucus voters are going to stay and vote for their candidate.

End of story.

Spinning by big losers is boring.

Sure ridiculous...sure.

I’m guessing your clown makeup is permanent. Yeah, it absolutely is. Too much trouble to put it on every morning when you wake up.

Caucus voters are going to stay and vote for their candidate.

Again, this is simply proof you don't understand what the purpose of the caucuses are. They are designed for voters to hear the final arguments from their peers and neighbors on why they are voting for someone, so the voters can make their final decision before casting their vote. Many caucus goers proudly have not decided until they attend the caucus, anxious to hear the debates.

The entire spirit and purpose of the caucuses was destroyed by the announcement that Trump had won before the advocates even had a chance to speak. This could clearly impact how people voted, because by nature they want to vote for the winner.

But who cares, right? Who cares about tradition, decorum, and fairness, so long as Trump wins.

Even if something happened to Trump, this guy will never be able to get the votes Trump gets. The margin of loss in Iowa is huge. Of course he could put ole Nikki on his team and they still would be behind Trump.

He would lose without the other side cheating.

Heck, I’d vote for a ham sandwich against the Demscum.

This is why we have the GOP we have today. This is why we lose. We would crawl over broken glass to vote for the (R), because they are "better" than the (D), or some such utter bovine scatology.

sure election interference, Ron doesn’t think it’s important or real, unless it happens to him.

the guy is so self focused, doesn’t care about others, just how’s things effecting his wants plans. IMO he needs to be knocked off his pedestal he made for himself.

Fair enough. Normally would agree with you. The current circumstances are different though. Biden is so bad even Clinton -- and I despise Clinton -- would be better. At least she understands a nation has to be somewhat functional to leech off it. Biden does not understand even that much (or much of anything else for that matter).

Also while I am a die-hard Trump supporter, really don't think DeSantis would be that bad. DeSantis is definitely not a RINO. Just think Trump is (far) better.

All this discussion is moot though. The 51% landslide win is more than a decent indicator we will get Trump.

This year, the only candidate getting my vote is Trump. The rest will be 3rd party where possible. Libertarian, Conservative, Constitution - any of these will get my vote, but I can no longer vote GOP because somehow they are better. They aren’t, and they’ve proven it time and again. We keep falling for it.

I am very close to doing the same except for the President. This country simply will not survive four more years of Biden (unless it's too late already).

Do have a few good R's I can vote for in other offices, but it is a very short list. Just having a R by one's name is no longer enough to get my vote.

Again while I prefer and will support Trump, I just do not see DeSantis as being a RINO. He's done too many good things in Florida. Would not have to hold my nose to vote for DeSantis. To repeat yet again though: TRUMP 2024!!!

For example, if the alternative was McCain, I’d just stay home.

Trump really knew his target when he came up with ‘DeSanctimonious’.
