    Megan is 100% correct. I agree with every word. DeSantis is doing an excellent job in FL, stay. All I want from him is his unequivocal support of MAGA. Unfortunately, noting that he’s come up with 10s of millions in donations for a run away Gov race, he’s looking a lot like the GOPe’s front man, ala Jeb!.

    Don’t do it Ron.

    I agree with Ghostsniper that one should not trust politicians, for the reason he stated. In regards to Trump, well, he’s definitely not a politician, but rather more of a Francisco d’Anconia type individual though he lacked the actual ability to fulfill his largest promise to the American people who support him, to wit I caught the swamp. I caught them all. Let’s see what happens. Nobody else could have done that but me. I caught all this corruption that was going on, and nobody else could have done it.

    I, for one, have noticed no change in the level of corruption, evil, and destruction of American ideals since Trump spoke those words.

      “Let Mikey try it! He’ll try anything!”

      Trump is your Mikey; your canary. What I’m trying to say is: it is Trump, plus you. All of us who recognize the swamp.

      Oh, Trump didn’t clean out the swamp? Stay the course, my friends. This isn’t over.

      I never saw anything quite so amazing as how almost every member of Trump’s cabinet stabbed him in the back with a long knife. It was a slow rolling cataclysm. The most I can agree with you is that one traditionally looks for a uniter and Trump did not unit. Methinks we’re in a different environment, now. Why in hell’s bells would anyone want to unite DC?

      DeSantis is a wonderful politician, but the time for politicians is not now. If Trump cannot do this, we’ll have to do it ourselves. DC must change.

      “I, for one, have noticed no change in the level of corruption, evil, and destruction of American ideals since Trump spoke those words.”

      Really?

      Seems like a pretty obvious INCREASE since then.

        Seems like a pretty obvious INCREASE since then.

        I see your point, George, but I don’t necessarily think it is increase, but rather a blatant, right out in the open criminality because they firmly believe they can get away with any criminal act they want.

    Although I do share her level of vituperation, I do agree with the fair Ms. Coulter when she bemoans Trump’s failure to actually implement the campaign promises that got him elected… twice, in my opinion. (She correctly predicted he would run and become president in 2016, but has now prognosticated that he will not get the nomination this time around.) I cut him some slack, however, in recognition that no single American president was ever faced with the level of obstruction, interference, betrayal and downright illegal opposition that he faced, not even the hated RMN. I have never in my long (but not yet long enough, please) life been witness to such blatant hatred by a former American political party directed against an opponent. Unless it has always been that way but was effectively obscurated. Or I was simply too naive or disinterested to really notice. Nonetheless, I support Trump in his quest for revenge… err, I mean reelection, and basically again for the same reason, to wit: dismantling of the established, corrupt and anti-American cabal that has usurped the levers of power in Washington, D.C. There was a time when I was tolerant, even supportive of a “deep state,” like back in the day when we rooted for James Bond and his CIA sidekick, Felix against the forces seeking the overthrow of our Western civilization. But they have become SMERSH and Blofeld, enemies all, deserving of the fate reserved for all such villains.

    Time will tell in regard to Desantis but if the GOP establishment do get their hooks into him, we can expect something in line with McCain or Romney. I know he has at least one difference than the elites of the republican party, or at least Paul Ryan. He believes we should not give up the culture war where Ryan does not consider it near as important as the economy though Ryan thinks he will be the next republican nominee and is his pick to win. If a Bush, Rove, or Ryan start lining up in support of Desantis than it’s an issue. I trust none of these clowns.

    I like Trump and my only complaint about him ever was his inability to control his popping off on social media. He was the President and he should leave social media completely alone and never let anyone know what he’s thinking and he certainly should not shoot back at every quip. Just STFU and do your job and be more selective in choosing your staff.

    America has been engaged in a political war with itself for decades and Trump is a nuke that raised the stakes. I believe the election was a fraud but it’s hard to imagine the across the board level of mass complicity that gave it the nod and participated in the Big Sell that landed the current two neanderthals in office. That level of criminality against America is unimaginable in my opinion and IF the election was manipulated I would be completely content to see everyone who participated in the act, from the lowest voter assisting puke at the local church to the administration itself, face execution as swiftly as possible.

    I would like to see Trump elected again but I’m pretty sure it won’t happen, primarily because the majority of Americans are not angry enough and/or they are too damned apathetic to fight the Left. They’ll sit on their asses and argue but they won’t agree and stand to fight. Hell, some of them won’t even vote and they will view a Trump campaign as a thing that just ‘divides us’, as if we are not inches from trying to brain each other as it is. That will likely leave DeSantis as the front runner and I do believe that he would win and do so handily.

    • Casey Klahn October 27, 2022, 8:15 AM

      This is not high school politics, where mean tweets and personality dominate over policy.

      Did you ever see a politician who could negotiate as handily as Trump? Did you ever see a true anti-war politician?

      Please reconsider your foolish opinion on the “mean tweets”. This time, Trump will have to be a lot more Nixon, and somewhat less (someone nice). If I were Trump, about mid term I’d have massacred my cabinet and replaced them with the nearest group of parents. And, tweeted shit about the ex-cabinet members.

      • ghostsniper October 27, 2022, 2:57 PM

        It’s not foolish Casey and you should know that.
        What would YOUR clients think of you if you did that sort of thing?
        Mine? Well, I wouldn’t have many if any.

        Besides, that whiney online shit DISTRACTS him, Trump himself, from staying focused on the goal. IOW, he shouldn’t let the whiney fux get his goat, rise above it, be bigger than that. Don’t bow to their level. THAT is how you “earn” respect.

        It’s possible to be mean without coming across as a whiney little bitch.
        Maybe he should go back and read his own book, The Art of the Deal.
        I can’t think of any reason why anyone would want to listen to a whiney fuk.

        • Casey Klahn October 27, 2022, 8:07 PM

          There has to be a level of coarseness now to the dialogue in Washington DC. The alternative discussed is civil war.

          I support Trump’s efforts to upset. I loved how he said things that changed the discourse.

          Here’s a test for your theory that his tweets were…all I can get from your comment is he’s a whiny little bitch…place Trump’s rhetoric beside GOPe rhetoric in the pre-trump Era.

          Look at the hags Pelosi, and Hillary. How would you address them on policy and behavior? I’d be meaner.

          My patronage likes: changers.

            Casey sed: “Look at the hags Pelosi, and Hillary. How would you address them on policy and behavior? I’d be meaner.”
            ========
            I agree. Meaner.
            His past twits seemed mostly whining. Me, me, me type stuff.
            He needs to keep the little gurl inside him in the closet and be the bare fisted brawler that is required.

      This! “…Trump … my only complaint about him ever was his inability to control his popping off on social media. He was the President and he should leave social media completely alone and never let anyone know what he’s thinking and he certainly should not shoot back at every quip. Just STFU and do your job and be more selective in choosing your staff.”

      Unfortunately, it is his fatal flaw, as a narcissist. And narcissists are inherently incapable of change.

      I don’t know who we will have as the candidate in 2024. But I do know that we must win.

  • OneGuy October 27, 2022, 8:13 AM

    Once Musk owns Twitter the feds will begin investigating and regulating it.

    Megan is correct but she doesn’t understand the relationship. It is the 85 million Trump voters who choose Trump. She implies Trump roped in the supporters and controls them. Not the case. Trump stands up for his base and as long as he does that they support him. Trump was the best president in history, no doubt in my mind.

    DeSantis is one of the best Republican politicians out there. I hope he does run and win the presidency if not 2024 then 2028.

  • Auntie Analogue October 27, 2022, 12:37 PM

    Our enemies are pulling out all the stops to exaggerate the Trump vs. DeSantis arguments among the GOP voter base.

    The stage is thus being set for a GOP loss in 2024, regardless of either Trump, or DeSantis becoming the GOP nominee. Because if Trump gets the GOP nod, the disappointed DeSantis supporters will stay home, and if DeSantis gets the nod, the disappointed Trump supporters will stay home. It will be just as bad if the Trump vs. DeSantis issue moves the GOP to nominate someone other than either one of those two, someone the GOP will insist is a “safe” nominee.

    Trump proved not to have been the savior we’d hoped he’d be. It was he who appointed all the $wamp hacks to his cabinet instead of MAGA men – no one forced Trump to do that. Reminds me of my Dad saying, “You made your bed, now you have to lie in it.” That’s what Trump did with his cabinet appointments.

    Will the mythical Anti-War left take to Twit and use their 1st amendment rights?
    Will Trump be allowed back?

  • Carlos The Jackal October 28, 2022, 9:02 AM

    If nothing else, I like Trump because the left doesn’t, and they can get in his way, but they can’t stop him, or the will of the people.
