I already said same several times.
Trump is toxic.
There are too many people that, rationally or not, dislike him. Bringing him back, to ride the long gone wave, will push those people away. It'd have been short on sabotage, to let him run as primary candidate. It's too risky, in fight that comes, when every single vote will count.
And, to be honesty, as of lately, he is digging his own political grave with big shovel. People want DeSantis types, not ones that fight with them or show off boosted.
Just saying.

You decide.
It's not good to be so rigid. If Biden cannot motivate you to turnout out no one can.

But even if you stay home... I'm sure there will be people on the other side who also stay hope because no trump to make them angry. So it balances out!

It's not for me to decide. If the right has a "Trump bro" style temper tantrum we just move on.

Ditto. I cannot stand to listen to him for too long but I loved what he did for the country. Biden ruined a perfectly good country.

I hope lots of people follow your lead because you are right. The way to get a second term of Biden is for Trump to be the nominee.
Yes. I've tried saying this so many times but so many in the Trump cult just do not understand.

Trump had his chance. He blew it like a small child. I don't care how many factors were up against him... any sane person would have won that election.

Good luck firing people up to vote for him a second time. I doubt he could beat Satan himself at this point.

Biden has Trump’s army of ~75 million as fired up as ever…probably 85 million+ at this point. They are coming.
I will tell you exactly how you fire them up, have Trump as Republican nominee. Joe Biden didn’t win in 2020, Trump lost. I know a fair number of people who voted straight Republican with the exception of one office, the presidency. They voted for Biden or a third-party instead. By the way, one of those people is me who voted for the Libertarian.

Just my feelings. How does everyone else feel?
I am afraid Trump will be elected purely for payback over the democrats actions. Though I am not the biggest fan of Trump, it would be worth it to me to see the liberals tears after the way the liberals acted. They must pay and anyway I can do that.. I will take the opportunity.

I hope he keeps digging his grave. I initially felt bad when he was black listed from social media... but now I understand how good it was for the party.

On the right you have high, and low propensity voters.

Trump brought out 10s of millions of dormant people. I give him credit for that. These people also voted GOP down ballot. The high propensity voters split their ticket with Biden on top, and GOP down bottom.

Without social media those low propensity voters now have a chance to stick to someone sane like DeSantis.

Nope. Not even Trump can fire up people to vote for the hell on earth Biden has created.

Dems spent 5 years trying to defeat Trump. There will be retribution.

You decide.
If they want people like me to vote – – it’s not Trump, I just can not and will not do it. And if people like me won’t vote for the Republican… people who are normally a sure vote AND who vote for the Republicans down ticket … The Democrats win.
