@sneakypete Whatever your opinion of Cruz, going after DeSantis that way will only polarize the GOP further and cost him votes. Not only that, the opposition research for a DeSantis run will all be done and laid out for the Dems when/if the time comes.

At some point, some cooperation with worthy folks would be nice. If he wants to set up the spike (as in volleyball), there has to be someone to set it up to.

What needs fixing isn't going to be fixed in 4 years, even with a willing Congress. It will take twelve to root out that crap and stop the damage and set things on the right track, and three terms in the White House is about as good as the GOP has had it in recent history (and that's if you count 'daddy' Bush).

@Smokin Joe


All true. The "12 years to root out..." agrees with my  "4 years for Trump,and 8 years for DeSantis" dream.

And that is the MINIMUM amount of time America needs. NO President can do it in  two terms. We need someone (trump) to come in ,break things,set things on fire,and pretty much act like a Viking Berserker for one 4 year term,and then DeSantis or someone VERY much like him to take over the next 8 years.

The way I see this,this is what happens,or American is over and becomes nothing more than a cog in "World Wide Government,Inc".

My either/or is more grim. If we keep open borders and spending ourselves into greater debt, I see the dollar being replaced as the reserve currency, and with the exception of the nuclear, naval, and other forces we have, sinking into second tier obscurity.
That would be considerably worse than what we currently face.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Both Trump and Biden along with their supporters have shown they could care less about our debt. Both want to expand the size of the Federal Government. It's safe to say that debt and deficits will be  much higher by 2024, especially 2028.

We cannot afford these two
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

My wife shares that POV, and we keep getting hung up on the electiability issue.


And Trump becomes more and more unelectable with each passing day except for his most loyal of followers. This isn't the normal rough and tumble of politics. He lashes out irrationally and posts conspiracy theories

The legislature will probably change the statute before it adjourns in May.

Is that a good idea? I worry doing this could backfire for us down the road

My bold prediction

DeSantis chooses not to run in 2024, but in 2028. Donald Trump gets the 2024 nomination but loses the general election

There are too many factions of the GOP running for the 2024 nomination to defeat Biden in 2024.
Running a slew of different candidates just to make sure that Trump does not get the nomination does not bode well for the GOP‘s presidential prospects
I'm almost to the point that I will NOT vote for Trump even if he is gets the nomination.  I just won't vote.  Trump is self destructing.

He's also praising North Korea's Li'l Kim.


Interpretations welcomed.

Trump puts his own political future ahead of everything else.  Literally.  So if he believes that siding with Kim and slamming our "provocative" military will help him score points against a political opponent, he'll do it in a heartbeat.

I actually despise the guy at this point.

I personally do not believe Biden will end up running, or make it out of the primaries if he does.  At the very least, we cannot depend on him being the nominee.

If Biden runs unopposed, then that frees up Democrat voters to cross over and vote for the most unelectable GOP candidate.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

   There's a lot of Trumpers that will not vote GOP if Trump doesn't secure the nomination.  Further vilifying their BS at the Cruzers in 17.

Chances are I won't vote if Trump isn't the candidate. Why should I,when the rest of you asshats claim you won't vote if Trump is the nominee.

Probably because I was focused on the part where Trump bragged about his "very good" relationship with the single most despotic ruler on the planet, sympathized with that despot being "not happy" and "feeling threatened", and validated that despot's propaganda by calling the exercises "very provocative."

All of which are far worse to me than having exercises with one of our few allies who actually spends more of their GNP on defense than we do.

Making us the bad guy and Kim the good guy is something I'd expect of those who hate the U.S..

I think the secret to understanding Trump is that he believes that he embodies the U.S..  So anyone who disagrees with him is his enemy, and therefore an enemy of the U.S., and anyone who agrees with him is his friend and therefore a friend of the U.S..

Uhhh,it's called "Politics",and that is how the game is played. You sucker the other guy into thinking you are at a MINIMUM,friendly to him in order to get them to lean towards supporting what you want.

Maybe you would prefer him calling that psycho a asshat and threatening him if he didn't do his (Trump's) will?
