You and I generally agree @roamer_1 on this we don't.

And BTW: I have bumped heads with just about everyone here at times.

Go find em yourself. I ain't gonna dig through the entire 2016 debacle (primary and aftermath) just to satisfy your urges.

It ain't the sort of thing I'd forget.

Then I say you're spouting untruths.

   I respectfully disagree @Bigun

   If someone is a PAID operative of a Campaign and in here promoting said Candidate, it should be noted.

Generally speaking, such information can be found by any poster who wants to know @corbe.

I personally don't care who pays them. I care what they SAY and do.

That approach cannot build an effective political coalition, and if that approach becomes the dominant one in the GOP, it is doomed to defeat by left.

Never forget that the biggest, most important legacy of Trump's first term was handing us over to Biden/Harris and a Democratic Congress. A major part of the reason why is Trump's deliberately dumbed-down and deliberately offensive style.

Which means that Trump and Trumpism has to be consigned to the ashheap of history before we have a shot at stopping them with actions rather than just infantile words and tantrums.

Name calling people as snowflakes or whatever doesn't change the inarguable reality of how people react to the guy.  He wears on people.  As @Hoodat pointed out, it actually makes the turn-off even stronger.  Saying "quit being so easily offended" isn't going to change the reality that tens of millions are offended, and that it will impact their vote.

@Maj. Bill Martin

Are you actually trying to claim that Trump handed control of America off to the DNC?

I am tempted to respond to a brain fart like that in kind,but I really  want to know how you  came to that conclusion.

For the record, I don't think it matters now who gets the Republican nomination as several states have now seized the opportunity to rig their elections so as to prevent ANY Republican from winning.

@Bigun

To tell the truth,I think we all know this,and the anger about not being able to do anything about is what has us turning on each other.

Once again,FOR THE RECORD,I support Trump BECAUSE he is a rude,orange,bomb thrower.

Haven't we all seen and experienced enough of what happens when an alleged Republican President tries to "play nice" with the DNC?

The "Other Admin" also wants to know.  The Members of TBR have a right to know if they are conversing with a paid campaign worker. 

@Right_in_Virginia

@Cyber Liberty

WHAT ACTUAL FREAKING DIFFERENCE WOULD IT MAKE?????

Would that give someone the power to maybe hypnotize us to  vote for the candidate they support?

SOME of you people need to lighten the hell UP! NOBODY here is "The Master of the Universe"

This  crap is already getting insane,and the campaigning hasn't even really started yet.

People have their reasons why they support Trump.  Probably the same reasons that people have why they support, DeSantis, or Haley, or Scott….

I’ve just never seen such an infantile reaction to even the prospect of somebody announcing they’re going to run for an open Republican primary as Trump and his supporters did even back in 2022 when it came to Ron DeSantis. And I think the problem is is they don’t want the fight to be between conservatism versus big government populism in a GOP primary. Why do you think Trump and his supporters are attacking Ron DeSantis from the left?

@LMAO

Ok,so you weren't paying any attention to the primaries.  DeSantis was bombing in Fla,and then TRUMP showed up to campaign for him,and damned if he didn't win.

SO,what does he does to celebrate his victory? He turns on the man that is more responsible for him getting re-elected and stabs him in the back.

DeSantis is a loser that turned into a user. He is a whore who  will say  and do anything he has to say or do to get elected.

Demanding otherwise from me is a breach of the most sacred contract between management and member:  Anonymity.

You misspelled 'non-accountability'.


This demand also breaches the historic first rule at TBR:  Shoot the message, not the messenger.

A historic rule which you historically violated on an hourly basis.


I post opinions that are an alternative to the majority of posters and the forum's management and "advisory" committee --- and present ample support for them with links and video, commonly referred to as "receipts".

You regularly pass off things you know not to be true as 'facts' and present zero support for them even when repeatedly prompted.


Whatever I do for a living, or if I am fantastically independently wealthy and don't work at all, should have no bearing on a substantive discussion of the information I present.

Nobody gives a shit what you do for a living.  All anyone here wants is for posters to be honest.  And in that regard, you regularly disappoint.


I am stunned and offended that you would demand this type of information from me.

Stunned?  Offended?  Hardly.  More like fake outrage at being outed.  Personally, I don't care.  To me it doesn't matter.  It is the fallacious contents of your posts that get my attention.  The fact that they perfectly mimic the false narrative of a liberal politician's campaign volunteer is merely a side show.

Hope that helps.

Respectfully, no one on this forum has a "right" to know anything about my personal life.  What I choose to share is up to me, and me alone.  Demanding otherwise from me is a breach of the most sacred contract between management and member:  Anonymity.



@Right_in_Virginia

On the up side,it does give us all an insight into their lack of character. They can't fight your posts or reasoning,so they want to start the equivalent of a Klan gathering and burn you at the stake.

BTW,what POSSIBLE freaking difference could it make to anyone if you were a Trump campaign insider? Would the sun come up later tomorrow,or even refuse to come up at all?

He has every right to run in the GOP primary like any other Republican regardless if it upsets you or Trump. The nomination does not belong to Trump

If DeSantis running upsets you, then you have the right to not vote for him

RIV started this by taking a picture of a young RDS surrounded by other young women with alcohol in their hands while demanding of other posters here if supplying alcohol to underage girls was the new "conservative value." This was a picture that had no context, had no indication if these girls were underage, nor any indication he bought the booze for them with the intent of grooming them.

She deserves every derision that comes her way

What you say is true and I am sorry you are offended but I disagree about why it is important to know if you are employed by the Trump Campaign.

I pretty much assumed it since no matter what Trump does you defend..especially attacking and trying to ruin another Repub candidate....and today attacking one of his most loyal supporters Kayleigh..

@mystery-ak

Well,if THAT is true,don't we also know who is being pimped out by the DeSantis campaign? Seems to ME there are more of them here  throwing around  accussations than there are Trump supporters,so I want to know "Are they DeSantis Tools?"

OR......,maybe we could just let people be themselves and make up our own minds if THEY are right or wrong about  any particular issue?
