Memo to Republicans:  It’s time to dump The Donald and run with The Ronald

By Piers Morgan
June 20, 2022

President Donald Trump recently issued his fourth official statement about me since our controversial interview two months ago.

(The one where he didn’t like me telling him I don’t believe he had the 2020 election stolen from him)

“Piers opened STRONG with me,” Trump sneered about my new TV show Piers Morgan Uncensored, “then ‘died.’ He now only draws flies.”

It made me chuckle because a) I’m still alive b) the show’s going great (give it a try on Fox Nation) and c) Trump’s fierce loyalty to friends is only matched by his comically obsessive trash-talking fury if you fall out with him.

But there was also an irony about his statement.

At the risk of further incurring his wrath, if anyone is drawing flies right now, it’s Donald Trump.

The once omnipotent GOP beast bestriding the American political world like a paw-crunching King Kong is now seeing his stranglehold over the party ebb away faster than the infamous gorilla tumbled to his demise from the Empire State Building after being shot by US Navy jets.

And the same foe is proving to be the deadly weapon again now, in the form of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a US Navy war hero who advised SEAL Team commanders in Iraq, and who still serves with the US Navy Reserve.

Dump a proven conservative in favor of a promising, but relatively inexperienced conservative?

I prefer more time to ensure Ron gains more experience and continues his present course in directing a large state at the pinnacle of conservatism, and select him as Dpnald's VP on the 2024 ticket.

We witnessed a premature selection years ago in similarly picking Marco before he showed his true colors, and escaped a disaster,

DeSantis needs to stay right where he's at.  This country needs all the conservative governors that they can get.

Sounds like old Piers is paying down some debt with his buddies.

Tumpy is no Conservative.

Memo to Republicans:  It's time to start acting like Conservatives.  Stop empowering your enemy by expanding the money supply.

Not to mention negotiating away a few chunks of the Bill of Rights.

Tumpy is no Conservative.

We all realize he is not a perfect conservative so you will not vote for him, but he is far and away the best at hand to combat the amassed leftist army which confronts us.

DeSantis is doing a pretty good job of hand-to-hand with the leftists.

Bingo!

Whether I like him or not, or whether you like him or not, has nothing to do with it. Words mean things. By definition Tumpy is no Conservative. National Populist maybe... Whatever.

Conservatism starts in libertarianism and fiscal conservatism - the very marrow of conservatism. There is no way to defend Tumpy in that... ergo - No Conservative.

As to 'confronting the leftist army'... Go look at the porkulus bills he signed and tell me if you can even defend that statement.

Did I say he was perfect?

I'll go home with the 5/6 we can continue to improve upon while you keep searching the woods for a 10.  You will be searching for a long, long time.....

Five-sixths?  Hardly.  I just want the person who will deny the Left the ability to seize power through government spending - the person who will refuse to send a half-a-billion-dollar check to Planned Parenthood each and every year - the person who will say "hell no" when Congress asks the Treasury to take money from the Fed - the person who actually lives by the wording of the Constitution as a treatise of limited government.  I want the person who is willing to use their power as leader of the Executive Branch to balance each department's budget regardless of what 'borrowed money' Congress gives them.  Is that really too much to ask?

Screw the Democrats.  Stop funding their election coffers with taxpayer money.

Remember, in that left-over 6th that the President caves on, could be laws giving the elections away to the Rats.

At this point, I could vote for either to be President. One thing I especially appreciate about both is that both get that the MSM hate and will gladly lie about them, and they fight (something waaaaayyyyyy too few Rs do). Since Trump has already served a term, and thus is term-limited, I would be inclined to vote for DeSantis in a primary, as he could have two terms.

That ain't 5/6ths of Conservatism. That ain't Conservatism AT ALL.
Vote any way you want. I don't care. But own it... Call it what it is and leave Conservatism alone.
Because that ain't it.

And as it stands, I WILL be voting for DeSantis... and I would have voted for Cruz.
It ain't that hard to get me to vote.

That's right.

Reagan promised we'd get 90% of what we want, but for the remaining 10% he signed Illegal Alien Amnesty and the tax reform of 1986 that wiped out the S&L sector of banking.

He fell into the same trap on those that a lot of Conservatives of his era did...they believed the Dems were honest brokers.

Exactly so.  He violated a big rule of negotiation:  Never give up an action in return for a promise.  He enacted the Amnesty on the promise of tightening up the border, and the Rats reneged.

[GrouchoTex]

I'm fine with either.
There are others.

Anyone that will stand up to the family destruction that has been the frog-in-the-pot-of-water-slowly-coming-to-a-boil scheme being played on us for most of our lifetimes.
Just as fuel cost drive every thing in the market place, having strong family units reduces crime, protect property values, promotes better schools, etc....
I am seeing a trend that is bothering me. Builders building single family suburban homes with the expressed intent of rent-only communities.
Property ownership is something else that builds strong communities.
A domestic energy policy that doesn't cause inflation to sky rocket to go along with this would be perfect.

Just no more Bushes, okay?
