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.

When I was a teenager I read “Something Of Value”, a novel about the violent Mau Mau uprising in Kenya published in 1955. It included depictions of the British counter-insurgency operations, especially the local landowners methods. That is how I learned about total war and the necessary dedication to providing no quarter in times of extreme crisis.

The winner will be the person who screams "Saul Alinsky you ignominious bastard I read your book!"

A massive takeaway for us as well. Having had the good fortune to grow up in the best years of America, a time of patriotism...leaving won’t be so hard and we probably have the time left before the truly evil times arrive.

Definitely. I wish the founders could have a do over. If they saw the state of the country, they’d put English as official language and no anchor babies among other things like no voting until 30.

Planning for half of your paycheck to be gone before you get it is the key now.

The Dems may not care as they want everyone dependent on government, but if they get back in control they WILL be responsible for the next depression. Where will that get them?

¿Muerte?

Probably not. The Kenyan boy wasn’t the last “democrat”.

No one is born a Republican or Democrat, people change over time, evolve. Sure more 18 year olds are “liberals” or “leftists” is because that is all they know, mom and dad paid for the house, food, groceries, bills, etc, so they go to college and learn more leftism. But most outgrow it and become republican/conservative/right of center.

Yet some like me voted for President Nixon while still in high school and never have voted for a single Democrat presidential candidate in our lives.

Describing yourself, I see. ;^)

I don't talk about my REAL life here; however, there was a small clue in my posts on this thread, that should have alerted you as to just how EXTREMELY wrong your pathetic assumptions are. But then, for someone who has previously claimed to be a "Trump supporter" to now ditching him, you are far too dumb to call anyone else a "low IQer"! Your IQ is SO low, it barely registers oin any known scale and how you manage to type, with only 1/2 a working brain cell, is quite beyond me.

You were 18 in your senior year of high school in November of 1972?

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Cor. 15:51&52 - KJV

It all has to do with the section that she ran in.

Lady; you need to take your Thorazine and chill. Being rude doesn’t help you make your point. It just makes you look petty.

Because it wasn’t what you wanted to hear

Sure it is easy, without any solid proof, to accuse the left of cheating. Its easy, we didn’t loose, they cheated! But what if they did win? It could have happened in Arizona, this race wasn’t a “sure thing” for us to win. And McSally was a bad candidate that went through a rigorous primary.

Pointing fingers at the left and claiming, “they cheated” without any sort of evidence other then we didn’t like the results of the election is not going to help us win future elections. And makes us look like sore losers.

I agree felons are not exactly a reliable voting block either. And many with felony record, and these days, driving drunk can get you a felony record, could be republicans as just as much democrats, it will probably be a wash.

You are right, but idiots will believe the propaganda that it is Republicans’ fault. The masses are truly asses.

10 years ago, those numbers were the same, this is no surprise and they are only 12% of the voting population

You know why we lost? Here

Fake bomber

Synagogue Shooter

McConnell saying we need to cut medicare benefits ( I am sure that message played well in Arizona)

Trump’s war with the Caravan that was 1000 miles away (brings up images of children in cages in the minds of the undecided voter)

Our momentum died with the fake bomber and synagogue shooter

McConnell was dumb to even talk about Medicre

Just what I think that hurt us

You're the one who needs to take whatever meds you're on/need to be on; not I.

Facts are FACTS and assumptions or guesses don't count for much and shouldn't be posted. It's really as simple as that. Because those who post crap look ridiculous, at best; which is far worse than "petty".

It has to do with the large number of out of staters on social media who think she is amazing for me.
