Me neither! I’m always suspicious of a foreigner who’s running for president.

It is a Boomer Con failing.

They listen to a candidates speeches and “positions on the issues” .

They don’t seem to realize that those are created by consultants and completely fake.

The thing that irritates me is they fall for the same thing OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER again for decades, and never learn.

I thought he was referring to 2016.

You know, the election Hillary and other ‘rats repeatedly said was stolen by Trump and Russia, but were never prosecuted for saying it?

They "like what he says."

Our politics have been turned into celebrity reality TV.

Honesty, trustworthiness, reliability, integrity, out the window.

Do they have "an aura" now, is all that counts, for many.

So this new revelation won't mean a thing to most of his supporters. He'll talk them out of any concern, easily.

I thought he looked promising at first glance. Won't lie. But as with any primary candidate, the creep factor creeps in. Happened with DeSantis as well. The rest of the also-ran pack is just awful at any glance.

“I don’t understand why so many on FR liked and bought in his BS.”

Maybe because no one read his crappy book and didn’t know what a weasel he was (is). He talks a good game but like almost all Repubs he’s a two-face.

I have seen a lot of bandwagoning on FR over the years. Some of the fights were severe and caused purges by management.

I recall the hoopla over Fred Thompson. My 5-minute Googling showed him to be McCain-lite. He didn't last long in the race.

2012 was a severe year -- no GOP incumbent after the 2008 McCain disaster. Each of the half-dozen contenders became front-runner for a couple of weeks. None of them survived the media onslaught they got as front-runners. The GOP finally defaulted to Romney who couldn't even beat the weakly Dem incumbent.

Con artists in politics shine brightly for a brief time and then fade out.

Like an exciting fireworks burst that leaves only a memory after two seconds.

I didn’t have time to be swindled before I saw two and then a third post on bad associations with globalists and now “democracy” hurt by trying to correct vote fraud.
Bye, bye.

You’ve still got a bunch here who think Tulsi Gabbard, the radical democrat, is a conservative.
There’s no explaining some people’s lack of knowledge.
It’s MAGA, or nothing this time around.
