“Trump will become a king maker”

That is certainly true. But I would like to see him run again. I just feel that the public has put up with blatant election fraud, and now blatant non Constitutional acts by the people that are sworn to uphold the Constitution. The next thing would more non Constitutional acts with the threat of being arrested and imprisoned like a political prisoner or enemy of the state. Nothing would surprise me.

I don’t know how Trump will get rid of the establishment, moneymen and way of doing business in the Republican party. They can’t be primaried out by the grassroots. Even if he got the occasional RINO politician out, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Dems help the RINOs stay elected to keep the illusion of a two party system. A new party seems easier and Trump is a natural builder. And he wouldn’t have to be looking over his shoulder all the time if you start from the ground up. Plus the good and loyal people to Trump will be abandoning the Republican Party like rats once they see the voter strength of the new party.

The snobs at National Review have spoken.

They will be relieved to hear that I recycled all my old issues of NR, instead of burning them.

VDH is a weasel. He tries to play both sides to see which way things are going.

I don't agree. He clearly chose sides when he wrote a book called "The Case for Trump."

Are you sure you aren't thinking of Andy McCarthy?

Jagoffs! Every single day more truth comes out about Election Theft 2020.

There’s details about New Hampshire votes being yanked off machines from Republicans but that was 300.

In Virginia, late night dumps are raising eyebrows. The ratios don’t add up.

It just keeps going and going. The Dems had to be reckless. They had no choice with President Trump’s strength delivering so many voters at the polls.

Oh. Thank you, I could not figure the ‘o’ and thought maybe it was something else.

What is wrong over there? They have been anti Trump since the original primary.

His politics didn’t lineup with NRO at all they where very big believers in overseas labor, pretty much bombing every country, and having no problem with China running our foreign policy...it’s pretty much the Bush Republican platform...remember the famous China getting the most favored nation status during Ws first term?

...This weasel voted for Biden and Hillary.

No. Lowry likes to criticize Trump, but he supported him over Biden.

I still say he waits to see which way the wind blows, and he is a neocon warmonger of the first order.

Oddly, some people think it strange that the defense, when asked what Trump was doing, didn’t answer, since no evidence was presented to suggest he was doing something wrong, and it wasn’t part of the impeachment article.

This was a big mistake, if you believe the democrats wanted to convict Trump, which they didn’t. They wanted a charge that applied to the house and senate republicans as well, so they could take “yes” votes and use them to censure republicans.

Mostly they did this to get to use taxpayer money to create the video they will use for campaign ads in 2022.

Interesting points...

Mr. Trump may decide to run for president in 2024...

Dereliction of duty on January 6...That was not in the impeachment document...But, impeachment managers still decided to accuse Mr. Trump of not doing enough to stop rioters...

I think Trump defense team did a fine job of arguing that incitement charge was wrong...Trump lawyers did not really deal with dereliction of duty allegation too well...Again, that was not in the impeachment document...

Mr. Trump needs to prepare some kind of explanation of what he was doing in White House after he came back from the rally...He needs to state that he was concerned about safety of Mr. Pence although he was unhappy with Vice President...

In 2024, Mr. Trump is in a debate with other candidates...The moderator asks about what he did in White House on January 6...I don't know if Mr. Trump could avoid answering that question...

OK...I guess Mr. Trump could mention liberal politicians who refused to act "decisively" to stop BLM rioters...But, I still think that he should offer some explanation about what he did in White House on January 6...If he runs for president again...If he does not run for president, then he does not ever have talk about January 6 again...
