Thinking back to 2016 when there were over a dozen GOP candidates, the Deep State would have accepted the establishment Rubio, Kasich, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie or Lindsey Graham.
Unlike the above, Donald Trump would arrive in office without political debts to pay. This enabled him to swear, unlike the above, without reservation, to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
Here in FL, we love our gov. I’m not saying I wouldn’t vote for DeSantis; it will be contingent on my estimate of his connection or not with The Establishment.
On top of that, I distrust our electoral integrity. If DeSantis wins, I fear it would be with the concurrence of the Deep State and mean an arrival in office with political debts to pay.
What you erroneously deride as cultish is appreciation of the only man since our first few presidents to arrive in office without political debts to pay.
It is why, since the moment he finished his escalator speech in June 2015, the Deep State was determined to destroy him.
That’s absurd. He’s the same man he was, if not better.
And he’s a proven promise-keeper.
You may find others with potential, but none of them are battle tested.
Enjoy your permanent Democrat presidency.
The only Trumpers are just as irrational and dangerous to the conservative cause as are never Trumpers
I love President Trump and all he did and tried to do while in office. However, I will vote for whoever the Republican candidate is.....because we cannot afford the alternative!!
If we don’t kick out the GOPe and milquetoasts, it won’t matter, because they will continue to stab us in the back.
99.9% of all politicians are egomaniacs, Trump is just more transparent.
>>>The only Trumpers are just as irrational and dangerous to the conservative cause as are never Trumpers>>>>
Spot on truth. They will go scorched earth and burn it all down. Cult members do that. Just watch.
>>>>99.9% of all politicians are egomaniacs, Trump is just more transparent.>>>>
Comparing the egomanic Trump to the ego of say a Reagan or a DeSantis and yeah.....you’re pretty much deluded.
Will you call us "cultists" if the nominee is a Mitt Romney-type?
I’m talking behind closed doors when nobody is looking.

Oh, the “IF” game now. IF my cousin who has red hair could sing or dance, she’d be another Ann Margaret..or was it Betty Grable.
Respectfully Az Joe, a well-known political adage is that not voting for your own political party is a vote for the opposing political party.
So by not voting for anybody, you will effectively be voting at least twice for Biden.
But what if there isn’t a dime’s worth of difference between the parties?
“Your choice.....”
Trouble is, this doesn’t seem to be the case.
“Vanity” is right. You’ve posted the vainest vanity in the history of FR.
Congratulations! You’re a WINNER!
This is my first experience with a cult and I must say it’s frightening. Logically that many folks cannot be fixed. They will get scarier. Scorched earth is right, and he will oblige them with a 3rd party run.
By not voting for Trump and Trump only, you make yourself part of the problem
