“You guys are crazy,” McCarthy told reporters when asked if he had plans to back Trump.

What kind of response is that? What a moron.

Nobody has a de facto unopposed *right* to the Republican candidacy for President. That is veering into a cult-of-personality territory.

That's great when we rip Desantis to shreads don't come crying to me. It is all avoidable. He could walk into the WH in '28 with ease. But you loser Cruzers are pushing him to run. If he takes the bait and does not wait it will prove he is not Presidential material. He (DeSanctus) is tone deaf.

Your reply is just one reason why I’m not sure Trump can win in 24. The issue isn’t Trump’s style, it’s his political tin-ear. He knows how to rally his base, but he turns off many independent voters. I love what he stands for, but in today’s political climate it takes more than principle to win a national election.

I still forgive your rudeness.

Would never get by the Senate. What a bad decision it is to require advise and concent of the Presidents Staff by another branch of government

Will the republican party find a way to keep Trump from running as a republican? Maybe that’s the plan.

Contrary to my deepest sentiment and my initial reaction, I think that is exactly how to play your cards: close to the vest until it comes time to call, Fold, or raise.

Let’s hope he doesn’t. The camps need to be clearly defined.

First, predicting the landscape 2 years out, never mind 6 years out is impossible. In 2019, who could have predicted the catastrophe of 2020.

If Trump is the one and only, where was the red wave? If Trump’s endorsements had produced a result similar to the 2010 election gains, then there might be a basis for such devotion to a candidate.

And as to “tone deaf”, Trump’s odd Truth Social attacks on both DeSantis and Youngkin *prior* to the mid-term election shows a lack of judgement and self-control. Perhaps a lack of self-control that has grown with age; “we become more like ourselves as we grow older”.

Ask Cruz what it is like to try this sh!t.

2024 isn't going to be a repeat of 2016. Every candidate running will have seen Trump in action. They've studied and took notes. They know his strengths and his weaknesses.

Grow up.

Lacking a logical counter-argument, you resort to a personal insult.

All the TDS attacks on Trump are shallow style issues. That means your vanities are in play. Therefore grow up is apropos.

Which of my prior statements represent “shallow style issues”?

What does, “your vanities are in play” mean and how does that then justify a personal insult?
