Indeed they did one that is rotten to the core.

I want the Republicans to run a more sane and less divisive candidate. The Democrats are moving towards being woke and supporting systemic insurrection in blue cities.

Though I am disappointed how Mr. Trump while he did get rid of individual mandate on the ACA or which really should be called the unaffordable care act. He also didn't manage to answer the calls of many expats to destroy the globalist taxation scheme that happened the Obama adminstration called FATCA which is the precursor to the GATCA and follow the examples of other countries to forever abolish citizenship based taxation. Otherwise Trump may be worse supporting vs the other candidates.


Though I guess the only reason FATCA was allowed to exist is that the global power elitists wanted to build GATCA using US citizens as guinie pigs for their pilot program and changed their stance from preserving individual nations sovereignty to a more globalist government as it seems to be the case with each passing year.
Trump's business dealings and taxes have been heavily audited by the IRS just the same as any other businessman's would. Possibly more because of public pressure and the media's unbridled hatred towards him. If he'd done anything illegal or cheated I'm sure they would have found at least something? I don't think that you'll find too many people who don't use every deduction that they can to pay the least amount of taxes.

I tried to find an unbiased source but believe that this is about as unbiased as you'll find.

Trump's problem was that he was not a career politician and didn't know when to keep his mouth shut. He said whatever was on his mind and didn't seem to care what people would think. Because he was not a career politician, career politicians hated his guts from the get go. Especially Democrats. They were seething with envy that someone who didn't pay his political dues came in out of nowhere and won the top prize. Making matters worse was that they considered him to be one great big joke. But he fooled them all which made them even angrier.

Obviously the media passionately hated Trump's guts too and did everything in their power to undermine his presidency. But to Trump's credit he gave it right back to them in spades, which endeared him to his followers. Myself I loved it when he put them in their place and refused to cater to their demands, kiss their ass and tell them what they wanted to hear. That to me is a sign of a real leader. He was not afraid to take the heat knowing full well that the long knives were pointed straight at him. Not like the spineless coward who hid in his basement and refused to take questions other than those that were scripted from an adoring media. A media that would do anything to get rid of Trump at all costs.

I too thought that he was a joke and never did I think that he could ever win the Republican primary let alone the presidency. Once he secured the nomination I figured we'd be saying madame president for the next four possibly eight years. I didn't vote for him in the primary, he was my second to last choice, ahead of Kasich. I did vote for him once he won the Republican nomination and again as president. As I would never under any circumstances vote for a Democrat no matter who they nominate for any public office or incumbent whatsoever. I have nothing but loathing and contempt for that party and everything that they supposedly stand for. There's only about two maybe three Democrat politicians that I have any respect for. Of which none currently hold public office.

Do I think that Trump should run again in 2024? No, I think that he'll be too old. Would I vote for him if he secured the Republican nomination? You're damn right I would, I'd have no other choice.

But at least in a place like California, where they have given probably 5 million illegals "birthright citizenship" so the game is fovever rigged in liberals' favor, I can sort of understand it.
Yeah, I can understand that too. When I lived in New York, I got sick and tired of having my candidate's for public office losing. I wasn't too crazy about voting for spineless RINO's either. When all was said and done it was either them or a Democrat. But that didn't stop me from voting in every election since I turned 18.

That's not to say that every Republican politician in New York was a RINO but they were few and far between. I had hopes for Pataki of whom I met and spoke with on several occasions while he was Mayor of Peekskill. He was okay as a state assemblyman and senator. Although he did stab Mary Goodhue in the back in his run for state senate. Once he became governor everything that he supposedly stood for went out the window and he was no better than all the rest. A spineless politician who only stood for one thing and one thing only himself. About the only good thing he did was have Betsy McCaughey Ross as his lieutenant governor.

But I did make the most important vote in my lifetime. WITH MY FEET. It was the best decision that I could have ever made.

How can you like Obama but not be a leftist or woke? Outside of the war machine he supported he pushed wokeism and socialism at every chance. Obamacare was a big socialist/communist program forcing people to pay for things they would never use so others could get if for free or reduced (e.g. forcing men to pay for female birth control). He was friends with anti white and anti American people, many of them. While he wrote a private note supporting the police, he spoke against them publicly many times. He did more to divide the races than any president before him.

Back to the thread at hand, I hope I don’t have to vote for Trump. Republicans have to have somebody (or a few somebodies) better to run than him. But if the dems continue the woke, leftist, progressive trend, I will have no choice but to vote against them.

Love him or hate him, he keeps his promises.
Now if he promises to rid the house of both Republicans and Democrats he's got 2,3,4,5, six of my votes.

So many politicians across the nation in localities play that "I'm bipartisan" trash only to get into office and shift left (if not way left).

Myself I'm not looking for bipartisanship. All I care about is for politicians to adhere to the principles of which this country was originally founded and Constitutional Law. The Democrats want anything but. They're trying to erase our history and believe that the Constitution is a living breathing document that hasn't kept up with the times. They want to appoint activist justices to twist it's word's around to mean something that it was never intended to mean.

Bipartisanship means to compromise with them. To that I say: HELL NO!!! Every time we compromise our civil liberties we lose them a little at a time until one day there will be nothing left to compromise.
