Will Trump Be the Last Republican President ?
American Thinker ^ | 11/12/18 | Brian C Joondeph

Posted on 11/12/2018 4:45:58 PM PST by chiller

I believe that Donald Trump will be the last Republican president many of us will ever see in our lifetimes. We hope that he will serve two terms, but even that is not a given, despite his popularity both personally and of his MAGA agenda. I’ll call it the three D’s, in honor of Trump’s first name Donald – demeanor, demographics, and deception. (snip)...In other words, Trump is a one-off, an exception. Unlike Obama, Trump is the one we have been waiting for, after a string of wet noodles named Bush, Romney, McCain, and Ryan to name a few. But the Republican bench is thin. Who is the heir apparent? I don’t see anyone with the charisma, fire in the belly, energy, and commitment to conservative principles and values.

I was thinking... There is one heck of a lot of Mexicans in the southwest, and more coming in every day... Those Mexicans ain't our friend. They do hate the "gringos.." What if they decided they wanted their own political party.? Or just used the ones they already have in Mexico.. The PRI, the PRD or the PAN. And why wouldn't they.?? I don't think there's any laws against it. I mean we have the commie party, green party and lot more such as those. why not the Mexican party.?? The dimocraps, and all of American as far as that goes, could end up with nothing in the southwest and the west coast but one hell of a giant welfare debt..

And ALL speeches on the floor's of congress would be mandated to be given in Spanish as well English.. :)

The long-term unemployment that comes with socialism is a powerful teacher. If these snowflakes are unemployed long enough, they’ll vote for change.

Obama had the ability to con people into thinking he was the adult in the room.
People like Cory Booker, Occasional-Kotex and Beat-O O’Rourke are just lunatics who will get NO support from anything except the hard-core left in their party.
But, maybe you’re right and there’s nothing left BUT hard core leftists on the other side.

The only way we stop it is if the Walk Away movement really gains steam. Suppose the black vote goes up to 25% and the Hispanic vote is 35-40%, we still have a shot. Given the demographics, we’re done if the current percentages continue.

The dems were overconfident about 2016 and didn’t have the fraud machine in place.

Oh, they tried, but it was too little too late.

They won’t make the same mistake this time.

They will be well prepared with the fraud machine to guarantee Trump will not win another term.

Oh good; someone with some sense! :-)

There are exceptions to the rule ( I actually know quite a few Millennials who don't fit the pattern ); however, the majority of Millennials are stupid, naive, uneducated though they have spent most of their lives in schools, and whose parents have raised a bunch of spoiled, over indulged, petted, cossetted, immoral BABIES. Can they, over time, outgrow what they are? NO ! There's no hope for that generation; none at all.

They have been ruined for life and are, like the Eloi, in THE TIME MACHINE, only worse, incapable to survive on their own, as they are perpetual 2 or 3 year olds in adult bodies. They are "triggered" by the slightest thing and incapable of being able to cope with even the smallest upsetting thing.

Don’t buy into all the doom and gloom, folks. The author cites demeanor, demographics, and deception as the reasons for his predictions. Demographics was the first justification RINOs and surrender monkeys tried to use to push ‘moderate’ Republicans on us. We were told a strong borders candidate could never win because those supporting strong borders were a dwindling minority because of demographics. We were told we had to nominate a Republican moderate like Rubio because of demographics.

When Trump announced his candidacy, the second ‘D’, demeanor, was trotted out. We spent a year being told that a straight talking candidate who defended himself, defended his base, and defended his country, and was willing and ready to fight back, was unelectable.

Now the third ‘D’, deception, is subtle because is argues that the deception from the media and the left that we all know exists, can’t be defeated. This is the one that is the easiest one for patriots to fall prey to. We heard it when RINO’s told us it wasn’t their fault that they were unable to stop Obama because, you know they only had Congress and couldn’t do anything. It wasn’t their fault they told us, because they needed the presidency. If they had gotten a RINO like Jeb or Rubio elected, they would have trotted out another excuse for their collaboration with the left.

In closing, don’t buy into the doom and gloom BS. POTUS is cut from a different cloth from the politicians we’ve grown used to. Does anybody really think POTUS went into the midterms with no plan to deal with election fraud? Look at his unlikely election, against all the odds, if you need proof that POTUS doesn’t leave things to chance and is smarter than his opponents, and check out his tweets leading up to the election regarding election fraud. The POTUS counter strike is very near and he has many weapons in his arsenal ready to be used.

All sorts of folks have told me Trump is not a conservative or a Republican

The Republican Party has lousy messaging. They are still lost in their country club cycle

Those Never Trumpers, lost

They lost, Paul Ryan is gone

His never trumper buddies are gone

We flushed them

Sure the dims have those seats now, but we can win them back

Think forward now on, not backwards

You’re right. The never-Trumpers thought they were [blanking] Trump by throwing little hissy fits and retiring, thereby leaving so many House seats open that it was impossible to hold (or so I’ve been told). And, if so... they were right, we lost the House. On the PLUS side, we also lost dozens of never-Trump rearholes like Jeff Flake and Paul Ryan, so ultimately we WILL be stronger because those clowns won’t be around.

I certainly hope not.

Republicans need to wake up and stop the illegal shenanigans of the Democrats.

I think Trump is another line in the sand that God has drawn to force people to choose sides.

The distinction between good and evil has never been so clear cut as I have seen it recently.

NOBODY is in any position to say that they didn’t know.

So I think God is letting people heap up their own judgment on their own heads and they will not be able to complain that they didn’t know.

I posted on another thread, that the dems can lie, and cheat, and steal their way into power. They can try to control what I say and what I do, but they cannot control what I think or believe, and they cannot change my relationship with my God. They cannot stop me from showing the love of Christ to people and living for my Savior.

At the very worst, they can take my life, and then I will be free of them forever as I will be in heaven and they won’t.

And when Jesus returns I will enjoy watching every knee bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. and when they have their day and justice is meted out, I will not be shedding a tear for them.

As long as our Federal Reserve can continue to print money, suppress interest rates to zero, and Fed.gov can keep issuing massive debt - then YES, people will always vote for a free lunch.

Everybody knows how to get Republican presidents now and in the future, most of all Republicans.

1) Build the wall, deport illegals
2) Voter ID, paper ballots and purple thumbs

That’s all there is to it, really. But then, Republicans would rather be the Generals than the Globetrotters.

And when FDR was president, there was talk of NEVER having another GOP president, nor even another Dem, until he died!

MUCH different population mix back then

Immigration wave hdn't started

Yes, true, and I know it; but also, there are a LOT of stupid posters now; especially on this thread.
