There’s Trump as we understand him and there’s “Trump” that the media has portrayed for five years. The unfortunate thing is Trump gave them plenty of ammunition and made some mistakes. That first debate where he let Biden distract him on the umpteenth “do you repudiated white supremacy” media question was a moment he gave the Dems exactly what they wanted. That hurt him terribly in Georgia. Cannot tell you the number of black women who I overheard angry that he didn’t even have the guts to denounce racism in the debate. He did but it was uncharacteristically weak, he lost focus and didn’t see the trap he was in. I know plenty of younger voters who were convinced he never denounced white supremacy and were shocked when I challenged them to look at the facts and record, what he said going back to the primary debates and Charlottesville. But that is what we were fighting and we still need to fight. We, the 75+ million who voted for reelection, must not allow ourselves to be characterized and caricatured as white racists. We must throw light on the Dem playbook and reveal it for the generational scam that it is.

For all the smart things he’s done, Trump made the election a referendum on himself and not about issues and ideas for the second term. He also acknowledged problems with COVID messaging months ago but didn’t try to fix that problem. Instead he let the media run wild and his complaints could be characterized as whining about the press or that he didn’t care.

I saw the most disgusting thing on ABC briefly about 2020, it was a recap around the time of George Floyd and they said something like at a time when the nation was calling for “justice” he made a “devise speech” and they played a clip of him warning local and state governments to protect “people and property” ... wow! protecting people is creating division?

Did Dems game the system? Absolutely. Is it likely they were able to convince enough people in key states to vote against Trump through lies, pressure, intimidation? I believe so. I believe those votes are real, cast by low information voters, who sadly believed in their hearts and minds Trump and Trump voters were a threat to their very existence. All we need to do is listen to Biden: “you ain’t black“ ... all Trump could do was offer a way to escape their plantation, release people from prison etc. Fear is a strong motivator. Fear beat hope at the ballot box because they didn’t believe the hope was genuine.

Scary what this nation has become, corrupt at the top with zero accountability.

Trump had a couple of different ways that the Dominion machines could have been seized and audited in the swing states. If the military had audited them and they all showed the same cheat algorithm as uncovered by the private firm in
MI (which the MSM ignored) it would have been irrefutable evidence.

For the rest of my life, I will never understand why all Trump did was to tweet about how he was cheated and try to pursue justice through the corrupt courts.

How many American Thinker and Townhall editorialists will attend the January 6th rally, or will they be holed up hoping to get a few $100 for each edit so we can read them in our echo chamber?

Ken Blackwell is the only one, perhaps save VDH who will attend, likely.

Won’t be reading Townhall anymore. How despicable that they are unwilling to look at the evidence of election & voting fraud.

Townhall has been a mouthpiece for Bush League Republicans for a long time, I used to drive Hewitt and Medved crazy with my comments calling them out years ago for their advocacy of cheap labor importation and abandoning the rule of law.

Micro Rubio is NOT on our side.

He can’t wait to abandon the rule of law and give 30+ million illegal aliens amnesty and the Democrats a permanent majority.

The GOP colluded with the Democrats to steal the election.

Same as they colluded with the Democrats to put an ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia in the White House in direct violation of the Constitution.

There is ONE party, the Uniparty.
They just wear different jerseys to fool people.

You are a News Junkie yet you believe all of Biden’s votes were real? You have plenty of ammo against Trump. You got any against Biden? Which mainstream media Outlet would you save gave the most complete coverage to Hunter Biden’s escapades? Or Biden’s daily battles with dementia? If Trump is as flawed as you say, and those flaws were clearly on display for four years, then how did he end up getting 10 million more votes than he did in 2016?

Everything you write, and more important, what you don’t write, points to you being a never Trumper troll.

If steal equals working together to get rid of Trump with making outrageous media stories, spending advertising dollars and suppressing stories about Biden to make people think Trump was a bad man and motivating them to vote, I agree with you.

If steal means committing fraud that could over turn an election, I disagree with you based on what I stated in my previous post.

Yet Jacob Sullem can’t give any evidence of Biden winning.

Never Trumper indeed

No, the votes weren't real.

Do a comparative spreadsheet of just the Michigan votes by county for 2016, 2018 and 2020.

It'll blow your hair back.

The Michigan Mean Girls stole the "election" in 2018 with Republican assent*, and then went big in 2020, once they had the levers of power.

That's why "Nazi" Nessel is threatening everybody in sight over the Michigan gaslighting, and why Josey "Commie B*tch" Benson flipped off the Michigan legislature to their faces.

*Previous Republican Michigan governor Rick Snyder voted Biden in 2020

There is plenty of evidence that the fraud was widespread and pervasive and that Republicans in AZ and GA were complicit.

You can say that to the cows come home. But when push comes to shove the facts are overwhelming fraud that could change the election has yet to be proven in a court of law, has not been identified by any law enforcement agency including Trump’s own DOJ and really hasn’t even been argued by Trump’s own lawyers in court. And further if overwhelming fraud was being committed, the Rats would have not let the go of those house and Senate seats.

There is plenty of evidence the Trump team got out foxed by the other side and the other side included a biased media and GOP disgruntled folks who let Biden of the hook and made Trump look like a really bad guy.

“Trump’s own DOJ” hasn’t been his for a minute of his term.
It is completely corrupt.
Open your eyes.

I don’t think I’m hip enough to know what that means, alas.
