I think where our perspectives differ is that I view the history differently.
Before the days of Trump the Republicans played by the rules, addressed issues driven by Democratic and mass media agenda setters, and gradually retreated until the country turned into a mess.
Being polite may or may not win elections—but either way it allows the leftists to drive the agenda their way with minimal pushback.
President Trump said he was not there to conserve leftist victories—he is there to reverse them.
That means fighting.
When you fight you make enemies—the moderates get very nervous that the status quo is being upset—can’t we all just get along and not fight so hard....
“ And why should she honor a pledge when she was coerced into it?”
She should have refused to sign it. But that would require a little thing called “honor”. Haley has none.

[President Trump said he was not there to conserve leftist victories—he is there to reverse them.]
Honor, you say?
As in it showed a lot of honor to coerce Nikki into signing a pledge yet giving Trump a free pass?
That’s “honor” to you?
You are not looking at all the “polite” Republicans who lost.
There are two sides to this coin.
“As in it showed a lot of honor to coerce Nikki into signing a pledge yet giving Trump a free pass?”
Trump didn’t participate in the debates. Therefore he was not bound by a pledge he never signed. Nikki was free to do the same thing. No one forced her to participate. She chose to, just like she chose to sign the pledge.
Bit of a difference there, Skippy.

>>”The personal name calling is the stupid stuff that Trump doesn’t have to say and costs him with women voters.”
Trump knows when it’s time for name calling and time for reconciliation. He’s shown that time and time again. He doesn’t need advice on that front.
And Trump is doing fine with women. He doesn’t need the subset of women who won’t vote for him over a bit of name calling. Most of them won’t vote for him, regardless. Have you ever considered that his name calling has helped him more than hurt him? Trump has been getting the “stop the name calling” advice for 8 years and he’s pretty much ignored it, and his support has never been stronger.
Exactly. Even DeSantis endorsed Trump, and he got hit a lot harder by him than Nikki ever did. So Nikki, don’t talk about bringing the party together if you’re not willing to support the presumptive nominee over the disaster known as Joe Biden.
It’s so much more than favoritism in twisting Nikki’s arm to sign a pledge and giving Trump a free pass.
Consider the personal legal fees the RNC has paid out to Trump. Consider the one sided move by the RNC to favor Trump and punish Haley by limiting her delegates and by limiting cash she should have received by the RNC.
Finally, consider how Trump reciprocated and screwed over McDaniel by getting her fired allowing him to put friends and family in charge.
What a dick move.
President Trump is your friend.
It is just bad form to beat up on your friends.
>>”Whereas Ronna McDaniel, Trump’s hand-picked RNC chair, funded Trump’s legal bills to the tune of tens of millions without requiring the pledge”
You got a link?
“As in it showed a lot of honor to coerce Nikki into signing a pledge yet giving Trump a free pass.”
Except they didn’t. Trump was offered the same terms and he turned them down. Haley accepted them and then reneged. That’s hardly honorable.
“ Consider the one sided move by the RNC to favor Trump and punish Haley by limiting her delegates..”
How did they RNC do that exactly? Haley will get every delegate she earned in the primary. All 5 of them. Snicker.
“Finally, consider how Trump reciprocated and screwed over McDaniel by getting her fired..”
Rona completely blew the last 3 elections. She should have been fired long ago. Trump stood by her far longer than I would have. And just for the record she wasn’t fired, she resigned.
So take your butt hurt somewhere else.

>>”President Trump is who he is. He will win or lose based on that.”
That bears repeating.
Yes I do. She threw just as much crap at Trump and he was merely retaliating as he typically does.
She knew she didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting the nomination and should have dropped out when Vivek did and thrown in her support of Trump.
She's a political whore now (and has been for most of her life) and looking for a high level political position somewhere instead of finally getting a job in the private sector........
That sums things up rather nicely.
Honestly, though, after all the JUSTIFIED crap that Trump dished out to Haley, do you blame her for not endorsing Trump?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hell yes I blame her. If anyone is the least bit sympathetic to her, you are supporting the deep state.
She is a witch. Right up there with Hillary and Pelosi.
“Childish behaviors”
I guess you are content to sit there and get your butt kicked, walked all over and continue to act as a pushover.
You are officially in the extreme minority.
When will you learn it’s time to fight like you have never fought before?
You sound like Romney....sorry, you do.
Of course she didn’t. Had she ignored it, she would not have been on any debate stages or had access to RNC campaign funds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trump wasn’t on any debate stage...how did that work out for him?
Besides, she didn’t need RNC money. She was getting enough from the DNC.
“As in it showed a lot of honor to coerce Nikki into signing a pledge yet giving Trump a free pass?”
Trump didn’t participate in the debates. Therefore he was not bound by a pledge he never signed. Nikki was free to do the same thing. No one forced her to participate. She chose to, just like she chose to sign the pledge.

He knows that. He is here to troll and agitate. Nothing more, nothing less.
Are we looking at eight months of concern trolls, nitpicking trolls, pearl clutchers?
Omg.
