   And yet they (Trumpers) want to come here to TBR and spread their $hit, thinking we are as unprincipled and stupid as their brethren wallowing away in their echo chambers.

    Screw Trump and the Trumpers he rode in on!

So let them try to stir $shit.  Stick to what you believe in and vote your conscience.

At the end of the day, if we all can't stick to what we believe in, we lose. 
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.

Baloney....  I guess you didn't see the results Tuesday night, where 20-25% of all GOP primary voters voted for "other, or other candidates".  This a whole week after DJT sewed up the nomination.  Think about it.....those are 25% who went out of their way to express disatisfaction with Trump, the candiate.

Please, post a link to this @catfish1957

JUST SAY NO

Down the centuries, you have slurred the meaning of the words, "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution". These words and the words that follow, were not written only for the Yangs, but for the Kohms as well! They must apply to everyone, or they mean nothing! - James Tiberius Kirk

So your whining and crying and throwing dirt in the air is all on you. There is no insult in it.
That's a pretty common greeting amongst friends who haven't seen each other in a spell in this neck of the woods.

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.

So don't gaslight us thinking we are outliers.  DJT might win, but don't be angry when the conservative GOTV results are underwhelming.  Ridicule?  Check a mirror.

But if they are DEMS voting in an open primary -- they could sway those numbers.  IMHO you would think by now that red states would come around to becoming closed primary states.  :shrug:

Are we to believe that 25% view their lives better under Brandon than Trump??  I don't know of any 3rd party candidate that has been able to get onto the ballot yet in all 50 states, including RFK Jr.  Would voting 3rd party help Brandon or Trump???  I don't even know how to begin making that determination.

Not in the west. There is a libertarian bent in the west that is not present elsewhere. We don't like getting herded. Which is why we all have bouts when we get a little purplier, and why 3rd parties tend to do better...

And I doubt that red states have a big enough blue population to jigger the red vote by 20 points.

Because of the flight of people from blue states into red states, I'm not so sure how purple red states are going to become; primarily TX, AZ and FL.  Yes, I believe that liberals are stupid enough to move and still vote liberal.

Me neither, and that's right... But hard to do/organize without comms, and there's enough right facing lurkers in liberal circles (social media and forums) that it is hard to believe that a major push (like, 20 points) wouldn't come to light. That's why I find it unlikely.

In AZ, the Presidential Preference Poll is GOP only.  Closed Primary.

This is AZ:

https://www.fox10phoenix.com/election/updates-2024-arizona-ppe-election-march-19-biden-trump-results-az-live

Donald Trump got 75%, Haley 22%.  25% went for "Not Trump."

@Cyber Liberty

Please explain how you can have a total of 122% in a closed primary?  For that matter, in any "closed election"?    Thank you.
