He was a huge distraction.
Made the race about him again .
Bad candidates just like his awful cabinet and WH staff picks .
Then acted like a Immature jerk and Jealous child involving Desantis .
We need a fresh start with Desantis or Abbott.
:: We need a fresh start with Desantis or Abbott. ::
You are repeating the media wishful thinking.
When Texas was in danger of turning “purple”, the MEDIA started floating the idea of Abbott moving on to POTUS (where he would have failed miserably, at the time).
He declined and Texas has remained red.
Now, the MEDIA wants DeSantis to leave FLA so they can start turning it blue utilizing all those stealth Yankee voters that moved South.
It’s an old playbook.
It’s Friday after a national election...nothing has changed.
Nothing WILL change until Jan 3.
Don’t be a cheerleader for the MEDIA.
The demonkraps strategy was making mid-terms about Trump. That’s why they were flummoxed right up to the end especially that the January 6th hoax political inquisition had no effect where crime, inflation, empty shelves and car lots, high mortgage rates are destroying retirees and working people.
Maybe I did not pay attention ... throughout the 2022 season when Trump was bashing the demonkraps about all their great failures, crime, inflation, etc etc and media mostly ignored him. They even ignored the major facts that Durham produced on the greatest crime against a candidate and a sitting POTUS. But whenever he made statements about personalities like he was in Hollywood ... e.g. Mitch being a loser ... the media was there. And he made some statement in the past week that all of us keyboard political experts would have advised him not to make, to stay low. And instead of reporting anything else he said at his rallies in the past week, the media has everybody focused on Trump’s personality bashing, self-bragging, and blaming Trump for election failure mostly gerrymandered results in the House, and a Senate where states will not put a GOP candidate in the office.
Many people here are beginning to doubt instead of recognizing the power of the media to shape what we think, what we talk about, and who we need to pick for GOP nominee. Will Trump run? Will he get the nomination? I don’t know. But what I do know is that his enemies just need to undermine Trump’s base support and he is finished. I do know Trump isn’t a politician - I don’t expect him to be one either. But what I do know is he has something in common with all politicians - big egos. Wait til gas is at $6/gallon in 2024 and if it’s Trump vs Xiden, no one will remember his comments this week.
We have a fresh start with Trump. He's the only one that cannot be bought. We know that DeSantis (I love my guv) and Abbot are bought by GOPe big money interests. Trump was astoundingly successful in his first term despite the constant attacks from all angles including his own party. Paging Paul Ryan. Mr Ryan please pick up the white courtesy phone.
And further could anyone else in the entire world pull off a 93+% success rate for endorsed wins? What the hell do you want?
I agree. Trump is becoming a divisive and destructive force against his own party members. He needs to retire.
Even just two weeks ago, I would never have said this.
His growing tendency to trash his own people is not cute or funny anymore in year 2022. He barely got away with it in 2016, largely because Americans still were not used to such direct confrontation between party members.
Now, after Bidens puposeful demolition of our country, the dysfunction is too serious to turn a blind eye to this pompous distraction.
