An entire slate of MAGA-aligned candidates got blown out last night in a suburban / rural county in **Tennessee** that Donald Trump previously carried by 26 points.
Breaking: Israel has agreed to delay its invasion of Gaza so the U.S. can get missile defenses in place to protect American troops in the region
– Left unwritten but clearly evident is Israel’s political leadership doesn’t want to launch a ground invasion. At every moment, the government has acquiesced to this call or that call for a delay. First, it was corridors for evacuation, then it was negotiations for hostages, and now it’s US missile defense.
Reporting suggests Israeli generals have wanted to begin the operation for the last week or more, but Netanyahu and his war cabinet have balked. At this point, it seems likely Netanyahu’s bellicose comments on the first day of the attacks essentially backed him into a corner. An invasion will come, but the scope will not be anything like what was promised almost three weeks ago. Gone is the talk of changing the situation on the ground in Gaza for the next 50 years.
Once the military operation is mostly finished, Netanyahu’s government will fall and his time on the scene (more than 30 years) will finally end. It will be a good thing for the future of Likud, but it’s also a sad end to Netanyahu’s career.
Randy Fine initially endorsed RDS for president. However that endorsement was switched over to a Trump yesterday.

@VoteRandyFine
Today, I am endorsing
@realDonaldTrump
“The past 2 wks have made me realize our choice as Jews is simple. We can vote for the Gov who says the right things, or we can vote for the President who actually does them. When it comes to action, Trump has never let us down.”
I think we are at some kind of flexion point, where the appeal of leftists policies is becoming less appealing. The impact of mass migration, the almost insurmountable debt, tumultuous, costly proxy wars, cultural breakdowns, and now the heinous assault of Jews in Israel have turned a light on in some people’s heads as to what is right and wrong in this country. An example of such a turnaround is a comment by journalist Bari Weiss:
American Woman
@AmericanFWoman
Journalist Bari Weiss, a Jewish liberal who quit the New York Times over its anti-Semitism, writes:
”As a Democrat who has been left homeless, who is now definitely in the center but probably leaning increasingly right, I am left yet again with an appreciation, despite the messenger, of the message of the Trump administration because what those guys did was pretty incredible in hindsight.”
“So much of the work that happened in that [Trump] administration turns out to have been right. And that’s what is so frustrating for me. The work on the border wall? We didn’t like the messenger, so we killed the message. Turned out it was right. Issuing long-term debt to refinance when rates were at zero? We didn’t like the messenger, so we killed the message. A structural peace in the Middle East? We didn’t like the messenger, so we killed the message.”
I am a big fan of Netanyahu. Israelis are lucky he in charge, just like Americans were lucky GWB was in charge during 9/11. That being said, there was obviously a serious intelligence failure under his watch. Yes, he only recently took office but you can argue a lot of the Gaza defense structure was implemented while he was PM, and it didn’t work.
Like Trump, although I think he was on balance a good leader, it might be time to pass the baton to another Likud member, just like Trump should bow out and let the Golden Calf carry the torch.
So Bunu, what should be done about this? What price should Iran pay for training terrorists?
“In the weeks leading up to Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel, hundreds of the Palestinian Islamist militant group’s fighters received specialized combat training in Iran, according to people familiar with intelligence related to the assault.
Roughly 500 militants from Hamas and an allied group, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, participated in the exercises in September, which were led by officers of the Quds Force, the foreign-operations arm of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the people said.
Senior Palestinian officials and Iranian Brig. Gen. Esmail Qaani, the head of Quds Force, also attended, they said.”
The WSJ “story” is an opinion piece by a liberal, as evident by the negative comments about Netanyahu, who has done more Israel than anyone in recent history.
Figures a hit piece on Bibi would be posted. So sad.
It’s almost a miracle Mike Johnson won the speakership under a United Republican caucus. He is a constitutional attorney, considered a policy wonk, has major issues with our immigration, administrative state, and DOJ policies – an amazing choice considering all the back room secret votes and tricks being played! 🙂
”Meet Mike Johnson – the fourth Speaker Designate for the House, receiving 127 votes from the GOP conference.
Mike has a Liberty Score of 74%.
He’s from the state of Louisiana and has served in Congress since 2017. His voting record is mostly solid.
He was instrumental in getting the Texas Amicus Brief going in 2020 and voted AGAINST certifying the fraudulent 2020 election.
He has not voted in favor of any funding for Ukraine other than the initial funding bill.
He supported Trump’s ban on terror-prone nations.
He served as a member of Trump’s legal defense team during both the 2019 and 2020 Senate impeachment trials
He’s extremely conservative on social issues. In 2022, he introduced the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act, which would prohibit federally funded institutions from promoting child sexual izarían [sic] and transgenderisation.
How come Tinfoil’s candidate attacked Netanyahu in the days following the attack on Israel and how come Tinfoil’s candidate compared himself to Nelson Mandela?
I’ll give him a B-. He’s an election denier and he organized the amicus brief to the Supreme Court supporting Texas’ claim that Trump had won. Both should be an embarrassment to a party that claims to want to lead and win over skeptical voters.
I am fine with him becoming the Speaker and am willing to have him win me over, but it’s not a good look for the party to appear, and I stress appear, to look as though it is solely doing the bidding of Trump.
Looks like we are unanimous is considering Johnson a solid pick. We are not going to agree on this position on all issues, he is certainly to the right of me on abortion and I will certainly attack him if he tries to impede aid to Ukraine (which i doubt, it has strong support in Congress).
But at least the bleeding stopped, and the Dems did not really gain anything by having Johnson instead of McCarthy.
Netanyahu became PM once again in 2022 and has been the PM, with the exception of a year or so, since 2008. Even when he wasn’t the PM in 2021 and 2022, Likud won the most seats. They just couldn’t build a coalition.
I don’t blame him for what happened, but his fingerprints, after nearly 15 years of continuous power, are all over the military hierarchy and that of Mossad and Shin Bett. On balance, I think he’s been a very good PM for Israel and moved Likud away from a command-and-control economy towards a more free-market one, but his unwillingness to leave the scene has hurt Likud even as Labour disintegrated.
Had Netanyahu stood down in any of the elections that led to hung parliaments, Likud would have won large pluralities or even a first ever majority in the Knesset for any party. Instead, he stayed around long after his political expiration date (mostly to avoid indictments) and now his successful 30-year effort to move Israel towards economic and diplomatic modernity has been washed away.
Not true. The WSJ story saying Israel has agreed to delay its ground invasion was not written by a liberal columnist. It was written by four news reporters.
BREAKING: A New York judge called Donald Trump to the witness stand, questioned him and fined him $10,000 for a comment outside the courtroom that violated his gag order.
Do you ever stop to think how stupid you sound? I know the answer is no, but simply puking up, almost word for word, the idiotic things Jim Hoft or Steve Bannon say only makes you look like more of a lunatic than you already are.
Not true. The story that Israel has delayed its ground invasion came from the WSJ news division. It was written by four reporters. Not a liberal columnist.

I see tinfoil is having another one of her breaks with reality on this forum today.
Her man Trump is the one who attacked Netanyahu when Israel was first attacked, yet she accuses me of being a Hamas supporter even though I think Israel should go heavy into Gaza and tear the place down.
I know Tinfoil suffers from undiagnosed brain injuries, but the rampant lying she does here is on par with the nonsense Bunu posts. I remember early on the morning after Trump lost in 2020 (yes, he lost), the dingbat Tina said she wasn’t going to post anymore because she was so devastated Trump had lost. Too bad she didn’t stay true to her words.
Putin lovers Jan and Tinfoil can post links from Conservative Treehouse and Gateway Pundit (two disgustingly antisemitic websites) and they go through.
I post a link of a hard news story from the WSJ about Israel delaying its ground invasion and the comment goes into moderation.
I want DeSantis to win, but he’s pretty much done. He just had the wrong approach to race. He thought the way to beat Trump was to get to Trump’s right on every issue (like Cruz in 2016) and then claim Trump wasn’t a real conservative. Well, most of Trump’s voters never cared about policy. They just wanted the show.
To beat Trump, a candidate was going to have to meld together a coalition of Never Trumpers, Trump supporters ready to move on from the chaos, and pre-2016 Republicans. That kind of coalition was always going to be a heavy lift, but none of the candidates have really tried. Nikki Haley has tiptoed around the edges, but that’s about it.
DeSantis decided to run on policy in a race that was dominated by personality. Until Republican voters decide they’d rather win than be entertained while losing, the policy candidacies are dead. There’s no perfect analogy to what’s happening to Republicans, but Democrats had to suffer three catastrophic presidential losses in 1980, 1984, and 1988 before there was a legitimate reform movement inside the party.
I think if Haley has a strong debate performance next month, wins over the backing of some of the big donors on the sidelines, sees Pence and Scott quit, and draws an inside straight of luck, she might be able to make the race with Trump somewhat interesting. I think there’s enough residue of normal Republicanism out there, but it’s a real bank shot.
For all the heat Matt Gaetz and 7 others took for initiating the ouster of McCarthy, the ends have proven to justify the means, where a much better Mike Johnson received a unanimous Republican vote to take over the speaker’s gavel. Sometimes out of chaos comes new thinking.
1. Trump vs RDS … it’s not even a debate DeSantis is by far the best candidate hands down to win the General in 2024 and help keep the House and take the majority in the Senate.
2. Trumps political hit job assassination has put him is serious legal peril as unjust as it might be and nothing beneficial will come from the outcome for him or the GOP. I would not be surprised in the least if he eventually takes a plea deal…I am not debating that either.
I rarely even take the news coming out of these war zones seriously since all sides want to manipulate the USA into its favored narrative.
Bottom line is these are foreign countries we’re talking about here, and none of these countries should be a priority for US voters other than making sure it’s not our tax payer money funding the bombs.
Matt Gaetz says Speaker Johnson will be prohibited from bringing up a bill linking Israel/Ukraine aid because “more than half the conference opposes it”
With the picking of Johnson, Republicans have shown that they are all lying and cheating scum who want to overthrow the Republic. FUCK YOU TINA, JASON, JAN, JEFF, and all.
I generally like Mike Johnson I just think that no speaker would have been superior because I suspect he will be funding more Ukraine money laundering and the Gaza genocide.
No speaker was the best option but holding onto that option for too long probably means the RINOs would have collaborated with the dems to pick someone, which would have been a terrible outcome.
I listened to Mike Johnson’s speakership acceptance speech and found myself having more confidence n his success of turning the House into a more beneficial chamber for the people. Even though he has a Mr. Peepers look, his speech was one mixed with graciousness, humility, humor, strength of convictions and substance. I think it’s well worth the 20 minutes of time it takes to hear and judge for yourselves.

The fundamental problem with the two-state solution plan is that the Palestinians are not remotely interested. They chant “from the river to the sea” for a reason – they want Israel (and its citizens) gone, period, end stop and possess Jerusalem. Opposing Zionism is antisemitism.
Palestinians (who are Muslim, Christian and Samaritan by the way) are not one voice on these matters. A secular single state of Israel would be a good solution. However, Israel doesn’t appear to like that option.
Bunu you are hacking into a website in which you were blocked. I am going to look into any recourse legally you SOB. My son in law is the #2 man in our states AG office and has access to find you.
Here is my theory/take on current political climate in the nation.
I. The overwhelming majority of people in U.S. are furious and frustrated by YEARS of degrading U.S. southern border and overt attempts by the whackadoodle left to erase the border entirely and make it totally open.
The average thinking Americans understands:
1. the necessity of border security
2. the illegal drugs that China/Mex. Drug cartels that have been coming across to
A. kill Americans
B. make China/Mex. Drug cartels super rich
C. degrade, destabilize and undermine the legitimate Mex. government
D. put a HUGE and COSTLY (think BILLIONS) burden on State, Local and Fed government to provide for these illegals
E. and open border gate crashing illegals getting in ahead of aliens who have tried to get in through the legal processes is stupid
F. The open border policy of “don’t even try to catch, and immediately release whoever you do catch/walk into your arms WITHOUT MUCH VETTING is an OPEN DOOR INVITATION TO LETTING IN PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DO US HARM (POTENTIAL TERRORISTS) AND THIS IS A THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY.
G. the open door border is a violation of the U.S. Constitution that requires the U.S. government to protect from invasion
The majority of voters (rightly or wrongly) see TRUMP as someone who is serious about securing the southern border and we did have many miles of border wall built, better border security, and FAR, FAR less illegals during his presidency than either Obama admin. or Biden admin.
II. The federal government is out of control.
A. regulations coming–not from laws passed by congress–BUT FROM GOVERNMENT REGULATTORY AGENCIES and;0r EXECUTIVE ORDERS. (move to ban people having propane gas stoves, stop drilling, stop pipelines, forgiveness of student loans, preferential hiring in fed. agencies for women, Blacks, LBGTQEIEIOs, an nauseum. Pushing of transgenderism in public schools, is another big trigger.
The majority of American people see this as contrary to our constitution and laws of the land. The overreach by federal agency directives that go beyond the laws passes by Congress is infuriating. The majority of American voters see this type of thing as being part of the “SWAMP”
In THEIR minds (rightly or wrongly), they see TRUMP as a knight in shining armor who will lilt his lance against “THE SWAMP” because he is always denigrating and vowing to get rid of “the swamp”.
Bunu, when you say that a Governor Gaetz [snicker] “will take out the trash soon,” are you saying that he’ll kick Jews out of Florida? You should know that the FL GOP has a lot more Jews than it does anti-Semites like you.
How long would a Paultard like Bunu last in a hellhole like Gaza that is controlled by his idols in Hamas? Those Islamofascists would make Bunu their sexual plaything before using him as an unwilling suicide bomber at a Red Crescent hospital that dared treat their political enemies.
Oh, and I forgot to mention how the “swampiness” OF THE FBI” has been exposed since the 2020 election.
*********************************************************************
Big issue #3
III. The 2020 election.
A BIG slice of Americans STILL BELIEVE the election was ‘stolen’ from Trump.
They do not understand the voting, ballot security, vote counting process, etc. and have been convinced that there was somehow electronic hanky-panky that switched votes from Trump to Biden.
What the majority of these low info voters do NOT understand is that there WAS lower level “irregularities” that likely DID have an effect on the outcome of the election–such as:
1. some states mailing out mail in ballots to all voters, whether requested by voter or not
2. some state courts (like PA) decreeing things that were contrary to existing State Election Laws (regarding mail in ballots especially) that could have been/should have been challenged in court prior to election or after.
3. Other states (GA) ratcheting back/DOWN their signature match requirements on mail in ballots and not doing the match verification like previous elections.
The complicit, liberal, thumb-on-the-scale-of-the-election press/media DID also play a BIG PART in “stealing” the election from Trump by REFUSING to run with any story about the very REAL Hunter Biden laptop–and instead insisting it was all part of Russian disinformation.
And the same press RAN forever THE FALSE AND FABRICATED, AND NOW DISCREDITED NEGATIVE STORY about Trump somehow colluding with the Russians to hurt the Hillary Clinton campaign and other such falsely manufactured tripe.
Plus Facebook and Twitter “algorithms” which seem tilted far to the left candidates which hurt the ones on the right.
This fuels the desire of a big chunk of the American public DETESTING the press, and why the public FEELS STRONGLY that the press is NOT objective and is picking sides and has abandoned what used to be (long ago) perceived Media objectivity and fairness.
Bitter, how can Bunu post the same Hamas propaganda multiple times without being stopped by the filter? If the Iron Dome can’t even block redundant posts, you might as well give up on the current filter and just ban anonymous posts.
A HUGE chunk of American voters remember when Trump was president:
1. U.S. energy independence
2. low gas/heating oil prices
3. inflation practically nonexistent
And all of these things have gone HORRIBLY in the other and wrong direction under Biden.
As have the
4. explosion of illegal aliens on the southern border (and being shipped allover the U.S. and causing HUGE issues with increased COSTS to house, fee, educate, etc.
5. spiking violent crime rate in U.S.
6. horribly bungled and ill advised rapid withdrawal from ‘Gannystan
7. Russia invasion of Ukraine
8. Hamas terrorist attack in Israel
As a direct comparison to Biden, Trump is looking pretty good.
Hence, the broad support among the American voters (rightly or wrongly) for Trump.
Because THEY want to hitch their star–not to a big PARTY–but to a big personality.
Logically, concerned voters and concerned citizens who feel we are going in the wrong direction should look at which PARTY, WHICH POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY (DEMS/LIB) has brought us all these disasters (DEMS/LIBS) and turn their back on the DEM/LIB philosophy of governance and compare that to the REP.’CONSERVATIVE philosophy of governance and chose WHICH CANDIDATE in THAT party stands the best chance of winning and turning things around and righting the listing ship.
But a BIG slice of voters in Republican primaries sadly default to Trump rather than thinking things through and looking at the bigger picture without considering the plusses and minuses. of each of the R candidates.
Sadly, a BIG CHUNK of R primary voters want to send a message and vote for Trump, who they feel had the 2020 election “stolen”, and who is the good guy who will drain the swamp, etc., etc. but totally ignore the very real and large negatives that exist with choosing Trump to be candidate in 2024 and there are better, more viable candidates with far less baggage and better appeal to various segments of the voters and who could have a far greater chance of actually winning in Nov. 2024.
Their “star” worship is blinding them of their own political philosophy and the desire to see it realized.
And many Trump supporters have witnessed to many of the leading Republicans in Congress not stand firmly in support of the Rep./Conservative philosophy. They have become disillusioned with PARTY leaders–both parties.
They think that lone wolf, wild card, loose cannon, p!$$ everyone off Trump is their best shot at effecting change.

Good summary, Walt.
I don’t believe in the electronic “vote switching hanky panky” theory, mainly because such a conspiracy would have to involve a lot of people. Somewhat akin to the “planes did not hit the WTC, bombs inside the buildings brought them down”, just think how many people would have to be involved to pull that off.
However, I certain believe the “irregularities” were enough to deny Trump the 42k votes in 3 states that would have given him the election. For that, you don’t need a conspiracy, you just need partisans counting the votes and deciding which ballots are valid, like you did in Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Atlanta, for example.

– Censored, silenced, deplatformed, and canceled anyone who dared to question
– Ferociously fought audits
– Indicted Trump and 18 others for lawfully objecting
Yes, rigged
The results of the 2020 election is a Joe Biden presidency that has ground this country down to where it’s vulnerable to all kinds of catastrophic consequences of the Dems poor and corrupt leadership.
Having debates does not demonstrate leadership qualities, Jeff. You can wave poms poms all you want about RDS. But, until he has actually gotten on the national stage as president and proven himself in acts passed and actions taken, it’s nothing but lip service. Furthermore, governing a state is far different than being responsible and responsive for 50 states.
Zzzzzzzzz. Running a business is inferior to running a state in terms of governing. Trump had less relevant experience than DeSantis and he was a good President.
I was commenting on citing debates as being akin, in Jeff’s mind, to being a good leader. You’re right Trump had primarily business and no governing experience like RDS has. However, Trump proved to be a tenacious fighter for many of the issues people were concerned about. He cultivated a good (not perfect) national record following through on addressing these issues. His foreign policies and demeanor with global leaders kept aggressors at bay, and was bringing the ME together, via the Abraham Accords, until Biden took office. I think having such an overall successful domestic/foreign policy leadership record “trumps” someone’s experience with one state. Furthermore RDS’s popularity in FL has waned as more problems with insurance costs etc. have grown
JeffP, RDS needs debates to jumpstart his campaign and get people to see him as a viable, strong-minded candidate. Trump sees debates as nothing more than assisting those who want to take him down via some hostile exchanges on stage. What he has done is maintain a constant informational stream between himself and the people, through many recorded and public venues, regarding his policies and what he intends to do and accomplish if he wins back the WH.
Not going to debate Trump vs TDS who is the better leader is not a debate in my mind. I could write a thesis and it wouldn’t make a dent against anyone sucked into a personality cult.
“it wouldn’t make a dent against anyone sucked into a personality cult.”
JeffR one could make the observation that you yourself are cultish in how you adore RDS, seemingly in denial how incompetently his campaign has been run, how his personality seems a deterrence to building his own voter base. All you do is talk in glowing terms, as RDS seems to sink in the polls, while you castrate everything about DJT, appearing to only hope for the very worse outcome for him in his trials and tribulations, courtesy of the Dems.
I think your claims about RDS would be mulled over and considered as being objectively made if you discussed his campaign weaknesses, staffing and turnover problems, mismanagement early on of campaign funding, and the obvious —> why his poll numbers are incredibly low. I know when I discuss DJT, I’ve openly talked about his caustic comments turning off people and his terrible cabinet/staffing choices, in conjunction with what I like about him —-> his good foreign/domestic policies.
It was two Soros DA. Suspended the Parkland Sheriff who was derelict in his duty and was removed. Followed up on removing corrupt Broward Country Election head. Not to mention he was an independent thinker and questioned the Fauci Covid narrative (administrative state) which led to Florida being the least impacted large state impacted by the Trump administration failed policies. As Governor he worked closely with law enforcement to not allow the destruction of cities during the riots of summer 2020.
Jan I live in the real world and have accepted the degree of evil present in it. As I said yesterday it would not surprise me if Trump took a plea deal at some point. If you are hopeful regarding Trumps legal peril that fine. To pretend Trump is serious candidate at this point is beyond my comprehension. It’s not where I live.
I’m not pretending Trump is a real and viable candidate at this point. Anything can change that status, just like anything can change RDS’s ability to stay in the race. That’s the reality, JeffP, for both men. Also, winning with the candidate who will make the greatest changes in our government, to turn back the damage done by the Biden Administration, is my main concern.
It’s yet to be determined what kind of Ukrainian “funding” he’s advocating. Very much like people rooting for Trump to be jailed, many are also hoping Johnson will fumble the ball and soon be ousted like McCarthy. DC establishment and partisan critics are a tough crowd to please.
I saw a story that a statue of Robert E. Lee was melted down. I oppose destroying monuments. Of course, I would have opposed erecting a monument to a traitor in the first place. Both can be true.
That’s an agreement we have JeffP. Although I don’t wear my religion on my sleeve, I like that Johnson freely expresses his religious inclinations- holding a blue book in his hand when he accepted the nomination titled “Lead Like Jesus.” I believe that the weakening of the nuclear family and religion has also weakened the stability people receive from both.
Latest report says Johnson is going to continue funding Ukraine (180 turn about of how he has voted the last two times). The only differences are he isn’t linking it to Israel’s aid package, and is asking for accountability of where the Ukrainian aid goes. The last part is just lip service.

So Bunu, what should be done about this? What price should Iran pay for training terrorists?
“In the weeks leading up to Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel, hundreds of the Palestinian Islamist militant group’s fighters received specialized combat training in Iran, according to people familiar with intelligence related to the assault.
Roughly 500 militants from Hamas and an allied group, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, participated in the exercises in September, which were led by officers of the Quds Force, the foreign-operations arm of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the people said.
Senior Palestinian officials and Iranian Brig. Gen. Esmail Qaani, the head of Quds Force, also attended, they said.”

Netanyahu became PM once again in 2022 and has been the PM, with the exception of a year or so, since 2008. Even when he wasn’t the PM in 2021 and 2022, Likud won the most seats. They just couldn’t build a coalition.
I don’t blame him for what happened, but his fingerprints, after nearly 15 years of continuous power, are all over the military hierarchy and that of Mossad and Shin Bett. On balance, I think he’s been a very good PM for Israel and moved Likud away from a command-and-control economy towards a more free-market one, but his unwillingness to leave the scene has hurt Likud even as Labour disintegrated.
Had Netanyahu stood down in any of the elections that led to hung parliaments, Likud would have won large pluralities or even a first ever majority in the Knesset for any party. Instead, he stayed around long after his political expiration date (mostly to avoid indictments) and now his successful 30-year effort to move Israel towards economic and diplomatic modernity has been washed away.

I want DeSantis to win, but he’s pretty much done. He just had the wrong approach to race. He thought the way to beat Trump was to get to Trump’s right on every issue (like Cruz in 2016) and then claim Trump wasn’t a real conservative. Well, most of Trump’s voters never cared about policy. They just wanted the show.
To beat Trump, a candidate was going to have to meld together a coalition of Never Trumpers, Trump supporters ready to move on from the chaos, and pre-2016 Republicans. That kind of coalition was always going to be a heavy lift, but none of the candidates have really tried. Nikki Haley has tiptoed around the edges, but that’s about it.
DeSantis decided to run on policy in a race that was dominated by personality. Until Republican voters decide they’d rather win than be entertained while losing, the policy candidacies are dead. There’s no perfect analogy to what’s happening to Republicans, but Democrats had to suffer three catastrophic presidential losses in 1980, 1984, and 1988 before there was a legitimate reform movement inside the party.
I think if Haley has a strong debate performance next month, wins over the backing of some of the big donors on the sidelines, sees Pence and Scott quit, and draws an inside straight of luck, she might be able to make the race with Trump somewhat interesting. I think there’s enough residue of normal Republicanism out there, but it’s a real bank shot.

Here is my theory/take on current political climate in the nation.
I. The overwhelming majority of people in U.S. are furious and frustrated by YEARS of degrading U.S. southern border and overt attempts by the whackadoodle left to erase the border entirely and make it totally open.
The average thinking Americans understands:
1. the necessity of border security
2. the illegal drugs that China/Mex. Drug cartels that have been coming across to
A. kill Americans
B. make China/Mex. Drug cartels super rich
C. degrade, destabilize and undermine the legitimate Mex. government
D. put a HUGE and COSTLY (think BILLIONS) burden on State, Local and Fed government to provide for these illegals
E. and open border gate crashing illegals getting in ahead of aliens who have tried to get in through the legal processes is stupid
F. The open border policy of “don’t even try to catch, and immediately release whoever you do catch/walk into your arms WITHOUT MUCH VETTING is an OPEN DOOR INVITATION TO LETTING IN PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DO US HARM (POTENTIAL TERRORISTS) AND THIS IS A THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY.
G. the open door border is a violation of the U.S. Constitution that requires the U.S. government to protect from invasion
The majority of voters (rightly or wrongly) see TRUMP as someone who is serious about securing the southern border and we did have many miles of border wall built, better border security, and FAR, FAR less illegals during his presidency than either Obama admin. or Biden admin.

Big issue #3
III. The 2020 election.
A BIG slice of Americans STILL BELIEVE the election was ‘stolen’ from Trump.
They do not understand the voting, ballot security, vote counting process, etc. and have been convinced that there was somehow electronic hanky-panky that switched votes from Trump to Biden.
What the majority of these low info voters do NOT understand is that there WAS lower level “irregularities” that likely DID have an effect on the outcome of the election–such as:
1. some states mailing out mail in ballots to all voters, whether requested by voter or not
2. some state courts (like PA) decreeing things that were contrary to existing State Election Laws (regarding mail in ballots especially) that could have been/should have been challenged in court prior to election or after.
3. Other states (GA) ratcheting back/DOWN their signature match requirements on mail in ballots and not doing the match verification like previous elections.
The complicit, liberal, thumb-on-the-scale-of-the-election press/media DID also play a BIG PART in “stealing” the election from Trump by REFUSING to run with any story about the very REAL Hunter Biden laptop–and instead insisting it was all part of Russian disinformation.
And the same press RAN forever THE FALSE AND FABRICATED, AND NOW DISCREDITED NEGATIVE STORY about Trump somehow colluding with the Russians to hurt the Hillary Clinton campaign and other such falsely manufactured tripe.
Plus Facebook and Twitter “algorithms” which seem tilted far to the left candidates which hurt the ones on the right.
This fuels the desire of a big chunk of the American public DETESTING the press, and why the public FEELS STRONGLY that the press is NOT objective and is picking sides and has abandoned what used to be (long ago) perceived Media objectivity and fairness.

2. low gas/heating oil prices
3. inflation practically nonexistent
And all of these things have gone HORRIBLY in the other and wrong direction under Biden.
As have the
4. explosion of illegal aliens on the southern border (and being shipped allover the U.S. and causing HUGE issues with increased COSTS to house, fee, educate, etc.
5. spiking violent crime rate in U.S.
6. horribly bungled and ill advised rapid withdrawal from ‘Gannystan
7. Russia invasion of Ukraine
8. Hamas terrorist attack in Israel
As a direct comparison to Biden, Trump is looking pretty good.
Hence, the broad support among the American voters (rightly or wrongly) for Trump.
Because THEY want to hitch their star–not to a big PARTY–but to a big personality.
Logically, concerned voters and concerned citizens who feel we are going in the wrong direction should look at which PARTY, WHICH POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY (DEMS/LIB) has brought us all these disasters (DEMS/LIBS) and turn their back on the DEM/LIB philosophy of governance and compare that to the REP.’CONSERVATIVE philosophy of governance and chose WHICH CANDIDATE in THAT party stands the best chance of winning and turning things around and righting the listing ship.

III. The 2020 election.hiIII. The 2020 election.
A BIG slice of Americans STILL BELIEVE the election was ‘stolen’ from Trump.
They do not understand the voting, ballot security, vote counting process, etc. and have been convinced that there was somehow electronic hanky-panky that switched votes from Trump to Biden.
What the majority of these low info voters do NOT understand is that there WAS lower level “irregularities” that likely DID have an effect on the outcome of the election–such as:
1. some states mailing out mail in ballots to all voters, whether requested by voter or not
2. some state courts (like PA) decreeing things that were contrary to existing State Election Laws (regarding mail in ballots especially) that could have been/should have been challenged in court prior to election or after.
3. Other states (GA) ratcheting back/DOWN their signature match requirements on mail in ballots and not doing the match verification like previous elections.”
Good summary, Walt.
I don’t believe in the electronic “vote switching hanky panky” theory, mainly because such a conspiracy would have to involve a lot of people. Somewhat akin to the “planes did not hit the WTC, bombs inside the buildings brought them down”, just think how many people would have to be involved to pull that off.
However, I certain believe the “irregularities” were enough to deny Trump the 42k votes in 3 states that would have given him the election. For that, you don’t need a conspiracy, you just need partisans counting the votes and deciding which ballots are valid, like you did in Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Atlanta, for example.

Struggle session.
Let’s be crystal clear:
There’s no question the 2020 election was rigged.
Democrats:
– Illegally changed election laws, blaming “covid”
– Mass-mailed live ballots to old voter lists (i.e., college campuses, where students move around frequently)
– Gutted signature verification and other safeguards (key way to stop voter fraud)
– Tossed out election observers (evidence gatherers)
– Gaslighted about lack of evidence
– Censored, silenced, deplatformed, and canceled anyone who dared to question
– Ferociously fought audits
– Indicted Trump and 18 others for lawfully objecting
Yes, rigged
The results of the 2020 election is a Joe Biden presidency that has ground this country down to where it’s vulnerable to all kinds of catastrophic consequences of the Dems poor and corrupt leadership.

Having debates does not demonstrate leadership qualities, Jeff. You can wave poms poms all you want about RDS. But, until he has actually gotten on the national stage as president and proven himself in acts passed and actions taken, it’s nothing but lip service. Furthermore, governing a state is far different than being responsible and responsive for 50 states.

I was commenting on citing debates as being akin, in Jeff’s mind, to being a good leader. You’re right Trump had primarily business and no governing experience like RDS has. However, Trump proved to be a tenacious fighter for many of the issues people were concerned about. He cultivated a good (not perfect) national record following through on addressing these issues. His foreign policies and demeanor with global leaders kept aggressors at bay, and was bringing the ME together, via the Abraham Accords, until Biden took office. I think having such an overall successful domestic/foreign policy leadership record “trumps” someone’s experience with one state. Furthermore RDS’s popularity in FL has waned as more problems with insurance costs etc. have grown
LikeLike
JeffP, RDS needs debates to jumpstart his campaign and get people to see him as a viable, strong-minded candidate. Trump sees debates as nothing more than assisting those who want to take him down via some hostile exchanges on stage. What he has done is maintain a constant informational stream between himself and the people, through many recorded and public venues, regarding his policies and what he intends to do and accomplish if he wins back the WH.

JeffR one could make the observation that you yourself are cultish in how you adore RDS, seemingly in denial how incompetently his campaign has been run, how his personality seems a deterrence to building his own voter base. All you do is talk in glowing terms, as RDS seems to sink in the polls, while you castrate everything about DJT, appearing to only hope for the very worse outcome for him in his trials and tribulations, courtesy of the Dems.
