I would prefer if the Republican Party supported Trumps policies but without Trump himself. He is too toxic.

BTW I was never a Republican. I use to be a Democrat but changed to Independent due to my disgust with that party. I was in middle school when Bush was President and he was terrible, which is why I resented the Republican Party so much.

The difference between maga and neocon is obvious. There are many things such as finally actually securing our borders, finally holding china accountable, stopping globalist sellouts of our industries, having the balls to fight back against the biased media, etc. etc. etc.

This poll was for Republicans anyway.
So once you accomplish these 'goals' what will you do for an encore? What does your group really stand for? What comes next? What long lasting purpose do you have?

I didn't vote, if it is any comfort to you.

Next time, don't make the polls anonymous. It helps a lot in getting accuracy.

I think it was reasonable. We all know what is meant by:

MAGA - anti-science nutty conspiracy theorists
Neocon - war-mongering globalists

but are those really the only two choices?

Future of the Republican Party? To combat the increasing number of Bernie Sanders followers, The Social Democrats, I see in my crystal ball, to combat this menace, the Republicans folding into the old-line Democratic party or the old-line Democrats gold into the Republican party.

Not a Republican but I would love a more patriotic version of Ron Paul to emerge in the party: Someone who prioritized the economy, federal spending, and stability first and foremost while taking a pro-liberty position towards most social stances.

But, out of the 2 options, I'll have to go with MAGA simply because the Establishment Republicans can be easily swayed or manipulated by political intimidation and corporate interests.

Nope.

The party is a chameleon.

It can take any form to advance it's true agenda, which is entirely controlled by the rich donor base.

The party has been dominated by rich industrialists and merchants since the US civil war or at least the years immediately following. That is the core agenda, the rest is window dressing.

Attack small countries - build a wall, whatever it takes.

(Yes I know the media hated Trump from day 1. Yes I know the media sucks.)

Now. Im in NJ so I will call this one early. NJ is voting for the Dem so even if I vote Desantis... it does not actually matter. But I bet quite a few people are looking at him in light blue/ purple states and thinking... "hmmmm"
Basically you're saying Trump drank too much of his own Koolaid whereas DeSantis seem like the type of guy to drink enough to get into power and then have the common sense to decide whether it's appropriate given a specific situation.

Once we accomplish those goals we'll make sure they aren't reversed by the next generation of soys.

And also count our money and prosperity and be thankful for the peace that we've created.

Weird question, but there you have it.

Are you still mad about the poll results? You're questioning the accuracy now?

I see the identity politics attacks are in full force, ready for 2022 and 2024, just like 2020 before them.
