You’re most welcome.

Glad I know how to retrieve paywalled articles like this.

Yes, indeed, talk radio was left with an irreplaceable vacuum with the passing of El Rushbo.

There just isn’t anybody worth listening to during his timeslot and very little quality shows in general.

I’m a regular listener to Steve Bannon’s Warroom but not much otherwise.

“How many real conservatives are in the Senate?”

About eight (in my opinion).

You’re very welcome, Jane.

Happy to help when I can. Hope that resource isn’t taken down, especially since it’s not exactly a well-kept secret.

I sincerely hope President Trump does succeed in fully transforming the Republican party by retiring the GOPe hacks in favor of his MAGA devotees.

I will vote for Desantis in the Republican primary if possible in 2028.

Why is this so surprising? Were people this surprised when Reagan dominated the primaries in 1984?

No, the true republican party has devoured (accepted and endorsed) Trump.

We always felt this way, just needed the voice

Difficult to understand where it is you stand. DeSantis has been a stellar governor, but it was foolishness that drove him in this presidential race.

It was Trump’s turn to get in that second term especially when one considers the brutality and evil directed his way.

Those who are NOT America First, should look to another career path.

Hopefully, Trump’s attention to what USA is all about, will serve him well in getting more and more support.

THE OTHER SIDE HAS BIDEN AND AN OVER THE HILL FIRST LADY.

We should be optimistic.

Didn’t Ronna Romney McDaniel fail to produce the highly anticipated red wave during the last election cycle? When is Trump going to dump her?

VERY GOOD POINT...

By that time, hopefully, he will embrace what Trump stands for and be ready to carry the Party with dignity and sincerity in the MAGA Tradition.

Praise the Lord.

The RINO endorsements don’t matter. Until we get MAGA Republicans in office to pursue the MAGA agenda, the RINO endorsement mean nothing. These RINOs are just hiding and lying in wait to do damage to MAGA. They need to be lustrated from the party.

I’m grateful to have lived long enough to witness the implosion of the country club GOPeunuchs.

“The former president now controls the Republican Party by virtually every conceivable measure. He has a commanding lead in fund-raising and polling. His policies are a beacon to which most conservative lawmakers orient themselves in affairs both foreign and domestic. His endorsement remains the single most coveted asset that any Republican could hope to brandish in a primary race, and he has already received support from an overwhelming majority of prominent elected Republicans. In this election cycle, Mr. Trump has received endorsements from 130 House members and 31 senators, a majority of both Republican caucuses”

i call that a good start!

I thought he ran unopposed in 1984 unless you’re talking about 1980.

He knows Trump will be the nominee, but he doesn’t want Haley coming in 2nd, if I had to make a guess. He’s an interesting member of FR and I enjoy his outlooks.

I don’t blame him, Haley offers nothing...... zero.

Some have that way. That personality that draws people. That draw makes others dislike I’m.her. And for those who have not figured it out.. Think it thru.
Trump is a big guy. On top of that, he has an outgoing way. And on top of that, he cares.
You know people who don’t care.... You are drawn to the caring person.
Trump has that “thing”.. And it bugs the left clear out of their comfort zone. They don’t like it that he has the stuff.. They don’t get a fuzzy feeling.. He can’t be that good.. With money and position, they figure take him out..

End of trip for now
