But I know you won't hold team blue accountable. Different rules for different teams I guess.
GW Bush = elite globalist who brought you TSA, and the Patriot Act. Not a MAGA bone in his body. He is best friends with Bill and Hill, as you would expect from the Uniparty.

Former Vice President Pence does not have the "hutzpah" to be president, in my opinion. But, I hope he runs. I want as many Republicans to run, as possible, to make it more likely that the best candidate available is chosen.

The Republican Party needs someone with the demeanor of Former President Reagan and the policies of Former President Trump/Governor DeSantis.

"Only paper ballots" means "**ONLY** paper ballots".

Anything else you need me to explain to you?
But then people cry about how long it takes to count and verify paper ballots.

Oh? The last I heard, Fox is still considered a media source.

We had a candidate running here who was advocating for ONLY paper ballots, numbered sequentially, this midterm. She was beaten soundly in the election. Because, no.

Do you realize how incredibly vulnerable you are, in that case?

It would take NOTHING to disrupt the election. Trucks going between one location and another could be held up, and wham, you have completely and forever lost those ballots.

Any fire.

Any misplacement of paper ballots.

Human hand counters (remember, these are ONLY paper, no machines involved) who purposely miscount.

This is the way elections used to be done, and why in the past fraud to the level that would throw an election was possible.

And if you think elections are slow to count this time? You'd be waiting months for the tallies with ONLY paper.

Like 2016????

When a minority of the part walked away with the nomination because 17 people ran?

I am still a solid Trump supporter as far as agreeing he would be a good leader if allowed to be.

I refuse to cut off my nose to spite my face. Trump is not electable. I won't vote for someone who can't win the general election, and if he did win, would not be effective at governing.

I want a GOP president without Trump's baggage and negatives.

Exactly. Fox = Trump State TV for 6 years.
They've been full on support for him up until about a week ago.

The speech writer should deliver it and run as I agree with most of what he is saying and proposing policy wise. I don't see Trump having the true media savvy to pull it off. I kept envisioning the MSM like Howard 'sandman' Sims of Apollo theater fame popping out and removing him with the cane.

Someone else needs to take the baton his lap is done - he's out of gas. Trump and Sleepy Joe need to do a "fixed tour" at Walt Disney World Hall of Presidents.

Whenever he speaks this tune comes immediately to mind (Henry Mancini's Baby Elephant Walk).

He needs to get in a time machine and go back 150 years to his perfect setting under the Big Top Tent.


"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to most splendid, stupendously spectacular fantastical spectacle that is me arranging the entertainment to keep your attention under this huge huge tent - look at how huge it is! As big as this tent is it cannot contain my ego! We've got beautiful ladies in sequined dress, we've got brave courageous men with whips and chairs taming wild animals within cages, we've got dozens of clowns packed into tiny little cars, we've got acrobatic athletic muscular, muscular, glistening young men and beautiful, beautiful women. We've got tiny little people - little people, you can bounce them on your knee like a cute baby - diving off of high platforms into little buckets of water, we've daredevils, magical fantastical, spectacular, huge illusions and magical tricks, exotic dancers, and strong gargantuan men from exotic lands, exotic lands, we've got creatures from around the world, amazing amazing creatures, some dressed, some ridden, some talking, step right up and see them, hear them and be dazzled, amazed, stupefied, horrified. Did tell I tell you about the beautiful women in body hugging glistening sequin dresses? Dancers in chorus lines, leggy beauties shaking booties, I personally judge them worthy, we've got wire walkers, knife throwers, whirling dervishes, tiny people, huge people, and the most amazing singing birds, monkeys that do acrobatic tricks, smoking camels, snorting bulls, screaming hyenas, howling wolves, trumpeting elephants... "

What?

Former President Trump won a majority of the delegates necessary to become the Republican nominee for president, despite so many people running for president. How was he the "minority"?
