Do you even "greatest economy EVAH, libtard?" And remember Trump rebuilt our military. We didn't have bombs or bullets or even planes except for the invisible stealth ones. America was a laughing stock and disrespected the day before Trump took office. Then, because Trump told his minions this 100X a day, suddenly everything about America was the greatest and the best and super-duperest. Because he was so awesome. Better than Washington. Better than Lincoln. What more proof does need other than 4 years of his Twitter shit posting?

To your point - Trump is toast among virtually every republican that I know, which is a big percentage of everyone in my orbit. He’s lost all goodwill that he ever had.

We don’t want to deal with all of his bullshit anymore. I think that is going to be reflected in national polling too. He doesn’t know it yet, but he is done.

Of course, you probably know this, but Desantis is going to be the guy everyone rallies behind.

Of course, you probably know this, but Desantis is going to be the guy everyone rallies behind.

Right now it's basically a two horse race between Trump and Desantis. Other people will enter and split up the non-Trump vote just like 2016. Cruz, Youngkin, Tim Scott, Haley, maybe Pence, maybe Abbott.

Trump won 34% of the votes cast on Super Tuesday in 2016. That won him 7 of 11 states and he started consolidating the race after that. You honestly think there's not 35-ish percent of the Republican primary electorate that will never abandon Trump?

Correct.

A) The rank and file love him.  Look at how many of his horribly flawed endorsees won their primaries in 2022 over more electable Republicans. 

B) The primary polling shows DeSantis wins higher educated voters.  That's not the GOP primary base anymore.  Trump crushes with the low education voters.  They show up for him. 

C) It will not be a 1v1 race.  DeSantis, Trump, some moderates like Sununu/Hogan, some other craptastic figures like Hawley, Cruz, etc. - Trump will win with 35% of the vote, yet again.

Um, if you're seeing someone clutching their pearls, you're likely looking in a mirror. 

I asked honest questions of someone who said they voted for Trump. Curiosity isn't the same thing as being stirred up, but running away is akin to intellectual cowardice.

You want to believe that you stirred everyone up because you evidently must believe that we're the ones driven by outrage and hate. Projection, look into it.

Lastly, the comment about you using the handle Victor Lazlo is so very apt. It's bitter irony that you use a symbol of courage in the face of tyranny.

So many other responses were measured and astute. You tut-tut your way to the exit to return to the coterie and share stories of how mean the Cloak Room Cabal is.

This has been a civil discussion, but your actions and inactions will likely make us enemies one day. Actual, literal enemies and you will believe it is me who is a threat to the grand old flag.

Only if he emulates all the despicable traits and policies of Trump. Desantis is the great hope of what is now the mainstream GOP. If you are encouraged by him, I wonder what the "bullshit" that turned you off on Trump actually is.

Seriously, what is the bullshit you're talking about? I get the feeling that you may just be disgusted because Trump destroyed his viability to continue carrying the flag for the hateful right. 

I liked a lot of the policies that he implemented. I don’t want to debate those here, that’s not why I’m posting.

You like his substance such as it is, but you're sick of his bullshit. Sounds like the bullshit is comprised of only superficial aspects of Trump. 

I know you don't want to discuss policy, but where do you stand with the Jan. 6 insurrection? Where do you stand with elected GOPs obstructing the investigation of that day and shamelessly lying about the events? Where do you stand with GOPs refusing to be interviewed by the committee?

What in the world makes Desantis palatable? Do you believe gays are grooming children for sex in our elementary schools? Do you believe the Covid vaccines were part of some inexplicable evil conspiracy? Do you think lying to aliens awaiting word of their standing in order to transport them to unsuspecting communities is a valid policy? How is DeSantis substantially different from Trump?

I haven't called you a name. I haven't written in a snide or derogatory fashion. It appears to me that if you have hope for Desantis then you are a MAGA Republican. Am I wrong?

well played.  That's a great factoid to know for bar bets that I remember from some PoliSci class.  The guy's name just sounds like was President sometime between the Civil War and WWI.  But he lost three times, including the same race (1896) three times because he changed parties twice.  

Trump will lose the popular vote three times which will match WJB, but he'll still have won the 2016 EC.  But WJB also wasn't impeached twice.  But he was respected by multiple parties, was an accomplished statesman, and by all accounts a man of family and faith.  

However, the common thread of Bryan and Trump is spine-tingling.  The little I remember reading about him is Menken considered Bryan to be the originator of southern anti-intellectualism.  Not just Jim Crow and voter suppression, but a full on rejection of facts and information in exchange for more comforting narratives and cautionary tales about the educated coming to exploit the common man.  What many blame on Bush, or Reagan, or even Trump really started with Bryan.  Over a century ahead of his time, and oh yeah---Trump and Bryan were both Florida real estate "developers"    

But Bryan lost three times, and there is no historical record that be bitched and moaned and called the elections into question.  He took it like an adult and continued his public service.

See previous post.  They think the grievances were actual policies enacted into law but really it was the tone or messaging they like.

• Those people are bad
• Those other people are bad
• I'm the only one that will stand up to the bad people
• I'm just like you and I hate bad people too
• Look at what the bad people in congress are doing, they are coming after me for supporting you
• Don't you want me to be the shield to protect you from the bad people
• I did nothing wrong, they are only after me because I support you

Trump's actual policy accomplishments:

1. Tax cut for rich and tax increase for middle and lower class
2. Federal funds to build a useless wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for but contracts went to his buddies
3. Almost split NATO
4. Appointed 3 Supreme Court Justices
5. Laid the basis for current inflation with the short sighted stimulus packages that were too large and were another crony grift
6. Buddied up to dictators
7. Increased the costs for Americans to buy from China and reduced out exports at the same time
