I’m not either

When conservativism is explained clearly and precisely, many aspects become appealing to even those on the center left

That’s one of the reasons he won re-election by nearly 20 points and doing such with people who don’t normally vote GOP

It’s a blueprint, or should be, for Republicans going forward

Yes! Liberals need conservatism too.  happy77
Brothers, sisters, come on down to that river
Guaranteed you'll never be the same
There's a fountain flowing from the heart of the Savior
Bring your sins and all your guilty stains
Let that river of life wash it all away

Try & remember that around this time next year, when you are hectoring conservatives who are looking into third party options

Romney beat Obama amongst independents by about five points. Lost the election

John Kerry beat George Bush amongst independent voters buy one or two points. Lost the election.

The idea that if you don’t fully secure your base you can make it up with independents is just inaccurate

And it matters more for Republicans to not only fully secure their voting base, but attract enough independents and especially suburban voters to offset the massive advantage that Democrats have in the urban areas

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.

Not to mention that most conservatives are senior citizens and we lose hundreds of thousands of them a year.  Those patriots are NOT BEING REPLACED.  Therefore our numbers decrease every year.  On the other hand our educational system is pumping out millions of brain dead liberal kids who blindly vote.  There is no way to counter their numbers.

I will say that kids do still seem to get conservative as they get older.  Of course, they're starting out more leftist because of schools....

My son's girlfriend was on the left when they met.  Two years later, and she's a lot more middle of the road.  It does still happen.

I agree to an extent, but for conservatives to raise up their hands right now and do nothing because of the enormous feat of placing conservatives on our school boards and into the classrooms to change the liberal ideology to conservatism is defeating. The wokeness must stop.  That is why I am behind DeSantis -- he went up against Disney -- he wants to put a stop to the wokeness and indoctrination of our children and return control of our children back to the parents. I can't stress enough how much that is needed in every state and as a nation we must return to the very principles upon which this nation was founded.

This should have been addressed and acted upon by conservatives long ago. Don't get me wrong, I agree that it maybe too late, but trying is better than throwing our hands up and doing nothing.

You are correct, we are losing conservatives as many are becoming elderly and many just don't have the health to fight anymore.

Keep in mind though that the DEM leadership is aging as well; the late Feinstein is an example. Another reason to dismiss Trump as a possible nominee; age and a limit of one term.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

My sister is the same way. She is an attorney in Florida and it took years for reality to flush a lot of that indoctrination from college

She’s not a republican or a conservative and has voted for Democrats. But she also has voted for Republicans and she also voted for Ron DeSantis and said she will vote for him if he gets the nomination. And she also agrees that Florida is not the failed state under conservative leadership’s leadersship as Donald Trump claims

Ronald Reagan instinctively knew that conservatism does sell. Even then, the country was not as conservative as Ronald Reagan was.

But the record spoke for itself. Plus, Reagan was considered likable, which helps.

Maybe it's 50...500...5000...50,000...500,000...5,000,000?  I'd wager it's a rather large number, probably in the 500,000 range or more.

Impossible to prove one way or the other but I believe Joe Biden received the most anybody-but-the-other-guy votes in Presidential election history.  Even more than DJT did against Hillary.

Exactly.  It's not that so many people loved Biden.  It's that so many people hated Trump.

I live in a tiny civilized enclave in Cleveland, and the moment we go any further into the city, it is a left-wing lovefest everywhere.  BLM and rainbow flags/signs everywhere.  And the Dems have a great get out the vote effort.  They go house to house.  Is there some cheating?  I'm sure, although the most recent prosecution around here for that was of a Republican lawyer casting a fraudulent ballot for a family member.  But there is also a ton of legit anti-Republican, anti-Trump sentiment out there, and there are a whole lot of people who live in those kind of cities.

Are you really this ignorant?  I'm from Texas, we wear boots.  They don't make lifts for INSIDE of a boot...geez.  That's just a normal boot other than it's a bit more pointy at the toe than I'd certainly wear.  At least he's not wearing orange makeup.  happy77

Perhaps ignorance isn't the real problem but 'pettiness'. We're facing a crisis in this country and Trump supporters are fixated on birdcages and boots of his opponents. How absurd and ridiculous and quite frankly, I find it troubling.

Why not just wear a dress shoes when in public? I suppose it gives MAGAs some thing to attempt to focus us away from the fact that their guy helped plant the seed for the inflation we’re facing today.  But if I was interviewing a prospective employee, if they showed up wearing cowboy boots, it would definitely catch my attention.

Do Floridians were cowboy boots?

We need folks to stay in the campaign if only to show people that the GOP isn't just Trump and Trumpers.  And so they can't all be so easily tied to Trump himself in 2028.

The GOP faced a similar issue post Nixon/Watergate.

Do Floridians were cowboy boots?

In the West, they ARE dress boots. You always buy a new pair for duding up, and Sunday-go-to-meeting, because till they break in, you can't stand to be in em more than an hour or two... Somewhere along the line, your real sh*tkickers blow up, and your cowboy boots get to graduate into everyday sh*tkickers, and you go out and buy new ones to look nice and break in easy.
