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

[roamer_1]

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.

I didn't like the illegal alien amnesty... But I understood it, and was alright with it... AND I watched those snakes from both sides of the aisle stand up there with Reagan and GUARANTEE that such an amnesty would never need to happen again - They'd get it fixed.

Where I am from, your word means something. And that vow before us all, representing their fellows en toto, is where the rubber hits the road for me. I will not let them wiggle out of that promise.

[GtHawk]

Hey Piers, why don't you worry about your country and let us deal with ours? Or in American parlance GTFO!

[Sighlass]

Today I got to vote for Mo Brooks, against the person Trump endorsed (Katie)... Katie supported BLM on her twitter feed (and FB, which she deleted after it came out)... She was pushed by a PAC called "Alabama RINO Pac" that was run by a leftist in Texas.  The "PAC" is run by a fellow (Bill Burton) that supported nothing but democrats (wonder why he is pushing Katie /end sarcasm). Katie pushed Doug Jones over Roy Moore and the head democrat (that just retired) personally thanked her for doing it (and thanked her for pushing the gas tax). Katie was also supported by Mitch McTrator and the Business Council of Alabama that pushed for amnesty for illegals. Yeah, Trump sure can pick em, but you know Trump, it is politics before conservatism. Kiss his butt is all he cares for, cause he is a populace only candidate (me me me). /end rant

If I had the chance I would vote for Mo Brooks too - No question about it.

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

 

@IsailedawayfromFR

YUP! MUCH mo betta to have a rookie in office that will still believe the lies the DC pros whisper into his ears to make sure every decision he makes is wrong.

After all,ANYBODY has to be better than "Rude Orange Man",right?

WADR, do you seriously think DeSantis is a "rookie" with less experience than Trump?

[sneakypete]

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.

@IsailedawayfromFR

But.....,but.....,but....he's RUDE!

Much mo betta to have someone polite and mild-mannered in the WH! Isn't there another Bush we can vote into the Presidency? One that is even half-brown to sew up the his and her Panic vote?

Yeah,another Bush! THAT's the ticket the moderate alleged Republicans crave!

[sneakypete]

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.

@PeteS in CA

MUCH mo betta to have a Trump for 4 years that is outraged at the screwing he got when he was prez. Let him take out his anger on the Dims and their RINO butt-buddies for 4 years,and THEN let DeSantis take over.

[sneakypete]

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.

@roamer_1

CRUZ?????? ROFLMAO!

That is a known fact!

[sneakypete]

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?

@GrouchoTex

And THAT is where the rubber meets the road,and the explanation for why there so many damn fools voting "stoopid" in every election. They are life-long renters or leasers who feel NO community connection,or in fact,any sort of human connection outside of their own family. Sometimes,not even then.

People in more rural areas own their homes,and not only know who their neighbors are,but will go to help them in a time of need. Most people that live in apartments don't even know who lives in the next apartment. They MIGHT know their names from their mailboxes,but that's it. They come home from work or school each night,and lock themselves away in their cubicle.

That mistake continues to haunt us to this day!

@Kamaji

Only because he is.

YOU tell ME who has the most experience as a sitting President,DeSantis or Trump?

WHO is going to go into the WH all pissed off and looking for payback to the RINO's and the Dims,DeSantis or Trump?

WHO has only ONE term to serve and will NOT be making decisions based on winning the next election,DeSantis,or Trump?

WHO has a massive ego and will do anything to insure he goes down in the history books as "the President who saved America",DeSantis,or Trump?

If you say so. ...

Thank you for that, @Sighlass .  All my wife's South Alabama relatives did the same.  They like Trump, but can't understand why he is supporting the GOP Establishment here.  They were never enamored with Richard Shelby either.  Mo Brooks is a rock star IMO.

[IsailedawayfromFR]

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.

Guess you missed the Mickey Gilley line (God rest his soul).

All noble words that none on this forum would disagree with, I for one would certainly not, but have we ever seen such a man since George Washington walked this earth?

Shit in one hand and promise in the other, then see which fills up first.

[roamer_1]

Yup. Even so, My witness of that promise leaves any other thing dealing with amnesty at an uncompromising 'Oh Hell No!'

And so it ever will be.

That's the Dem course of action when it comes to dealing with the Republicans.

They call that "bipartisanship"

I give him a '9'

[IsailedawayfromFR]

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

Rather than honest brokers, I prefer the term Patriotic,  meaning prioritizing the good of the country over what is good for oneself,

I like your term better.
