Oh,grow the bleep up! There is NO SUCH CRITTER as a "true outsider" EVER being able to gain the Presidency or any other prominent position in the feral gooberment.
What makes Trump truly special and a SERIOUS threat to the political system is that he is already wealthy and can't be bribed or blackmailed. The ONLY thing he truly cares about is how he will go down in the history books,and he desperately wants to be remember in history as "the man that saved America".
Name ONE other candidate that you can say that about.
@sneakypete His desire to be the 'man who saved America' doesn't matter a stitch to me.
And nobody gets to that kind of wealth without knowing plenty about bribes and blackmail of various sorts... because that's how you get that kind of wealth. And he's been rubbing elbows with politics all his life, and using his money and influence in political fields all along. So all this 'outsider' bull crap is just that.
So it is incidental to me whether any other candidate has those attributes, because those attributes (if even true) don't matter much to me... That he is rich does not mean he won't take a bribe. In my mind, it makes it more likely he will.
Yet,you fecesheads want to rant and rave about how "rude" he is,or how he "made some bad cabinet picks his first time in public office". He no doubt did this because he trusted his advisors,and most of them were in bed with the same scum we need to give the boot.
I like to think he has learned from his "rookie mistakes",and that his will be a different presidency this time.
And even if it isn't all that we would want,it will STILL be light-years better than ANY of the alternatives you can pick.
I don't think any of that is true. And while I have criticized his boorishness, and have also criticized his cabinet picks, my focus has been on paying the bills - The MONEY - which is entirely indefensible. HE alone signed off on every bit of that spending.
And we literally cannot afford another Tump. PERIOD.
As for any other contender, we won't even know who's playing for another TWO DAMN YEARS, so any prognostication would be simply that.
If Desantis throws his hat in, that's who I will back. Hands down. And yes, predictably he will do far better than Tumpy did... As there is damn little to show out of Tump... All of it over-turned for the most part, and what remains is of little effect, except the SCOTUS, which is still a crap-shoot.
So yeah... it would not be hard to do better than Tumpy if you are looking for real change, and not simply satisfied by four years of candy from the clown at the front of the parade... Just to have it all *POOF!* GONE, the minute he steps out of office.
That's the difference. I want real and lasting change. Real and lasting reductions in spending and real and lasting security for our rights.
And that is not coming from Tumpy, or any other populist you'd care to promote. They just don't have the legs for it.
If you have ever lived in some of the south-eastern US states and been flooded with yankee retirees who rant and rave the first few months they are here about how they love the freedoms they have here,and wihin 6 months are trying to pass laws to make it "just like it was back home".
I,PERSONALLY think it should be illegal for anyone who has spent their whole life living in the North East to even be allowed to live anywhere else. Why let that pollution spread?
Some of those New York values you love so much at the federal level... But don't like at home, I guess.
We are NEVER going to have any change until we have change from the top down from someone who isn't obligated to "play the game".
EXACTLY bass ackwards. Change... Movements... come from the bottom up. Grassroots, up through the local and state, and finally into federal. You will continue to get nothing done until that is realized. And that takes a real guiding philosophy across generations to get that done. It never has happened from a populist movement and it never will.
