To Republicans who are on the fence with Trump:

There are a lot of extremists on both sides that rile up crowds into frenzies unfortunately. But, do you think that Trump can be the one that truly brings healing and unity to this country? Hasn't he been to divisive and his reelection would just breed more division from the left?

I could even see someone like Pence as a person that could calm a situation down somewhat. Or if you look back at the 2016 primaries you had other candidates that weren't anywhere near as divisive.

Trump is your candidate though and his tweets and comments are often absurd. I don't think anybody should vote for a highly divisive candidate right now in these times.


P.S. No, Trump supporters aren't bad people. There are good and bad across the board.

The Democrats really have it over the Republicans. The Reps have been so wishy washy not knowing whether to stand with Trump, near him or to run. They are more worried about losing their comfy jobs at the public trough then taking a stand and doing something positive for America.

The Dems are united on so many fronts and they all stand strong in their hatred of all things Trump.



The Dems have been running the show for so long and the Reps, even when they had the House and Senate they were running scared.

.

The Republican leadership has abdicated through its own indecision and passivity -- a trend which began when Ronald Regan left office, and has intensified ever since. From the days of Barry Goldwater, many of us have continued to recognize that we stand not so much for a collection of platitudes but against a vicious enemy called totalitarianism -- most recently manifested in the absurdity called "Political Correctness".

If the OP wants to present himself as a Quaker, he should reject the use of force and coercion to impose his, or his associates' views as a resolution to our present divisions; for it is the radical Leftists, and their ANTIFA bully-boy allies who covet this power far more than Trump, who is more of a provoker or "devil's advocate" who lures the real Fascists into a demonstration of their own avarice and stupidity.

The days of presidents uniting the country ended with the advent of social media. Possibly even earlier with the World Wide Web. I’ll take Trump over the Democrats any day. The only way to save the Democratic Party is for them to lose, and lose badly.

I don't buy it, any candidate can just as easily use social media to unite or to divide. Like any other tool, social media can be used for good or bad.

Absolutely not. Like, not a chance.

Maybe two years ago I could've believed that. But with everything Donald Trump has said and done up to today...if you still support him, you're part of the problem in this country.

Sure, everybody has a right to an opinion. But if you support Donald Trump as of today, you're probably not a kind, compassionate person.

Pretty good statement.
Most of the, "do you support Trump?" types of posts ignore the fact that the choice is between Trump and Biden, and pretend that it is a Trump or not-Trump choice.
Biden is a simple tool used by the DNC. Horrifyingly enough, they think Biden is their best choice.
There are almost no Republicans who are "on the fence" with Trump. The Democrat choice of Biden assures that.

The choice is Biden and the destruction of our freedoms and being run by a mob out to destroy the nation or Trump to continue making America great....I choose to make America great for the sake of my kids and grandkids.

p.s. I would love someone that could unite the country but that is just not possible.
