@catfish1957

ROFL!   :beer:  I knew you'd pick up on the Reggie Jackson analogy.  Good stuff, Cat!

I'm not naive enough to not realize that my style and bluntness pisses certain people off to no end.

When you get old and have already played the "back 9"...have your feet up by the fireplace in the clubhouse, you simply don't give a sh*t anymore

Example:

I, as well as any unabashed MAGA voter could have written the wonderful post by @Bigun many pages ago on this thread....the one where he lists all the reasons he will be voting come November... that even our esteemed owner who has all but avoided this thread like a plague, felt compelled to respond with "Excellent Post".  So, too did @Hoodat ...the one that is so confused that he lets certain Trumpers dictate his vote.

@roamer_1  is a lost cause.  An outlier.  He thinks he's being noble with his rigid postures.

Ahhh...I could go on and on.  Point being that if I would have posted Earl's list of reasons the aforementioned would have said "squat" and scrolled on by.

We simply recognize that Donald Trump is the only worthy candidate to take on the Deep State.

The bare naked truth is that the Democrats/Left also recognize it.  Thus, the Soviet-style Lawfare going on right now.

My intent coming back from a 2 month lurking period was primarily to show support for both @sneakypete and @Right_in_Virginia who continue to be magnets for the NT dogpack in this forum...fully supported by Admin and Mods.

Again...I thank them for the opportunity and venue to share my feelings on this matter.

I'll be well over 76 years old when election day rolls around this year and very likely won't live to see another. I sincerely wish the pickings were better, but they aren't, and I've made my choice. The one thing I absolutely refuse to do is not choose.

I think you may have read earlier that I am relcutantly pulling the lever for Trump, and am not happy about it one iota.  OTOH, I don't know if my blood pressure can hold up hearing Biden news four more years. I don't consider it a truly and traditonal binary call, but at least I think with Trump, the our demise can be slowed, and hopefully by 2028, a conservative with broad appeal will emerge.

And exactly what are you @roamer_1

IMO, it's a case of "tomato" ... "Tomahto".

Only difference is that I'm an unabashed MAGA Patriot and you're a whiney little [Fill-in-the-blank]

No, the difference is that I am defending a position with principles and reason, whereas you (none of y'all) have not made a single reasoned statement in the whole damn thread, preferring invective and the service of a vacuous accolyte - Hence shit-stirrer.

Cmon. ONE reasoned point. You can do it. Try to defend your oaf of a candidate.

The only one who tried to incinerate 81 million votes is your boy Donald.  By the time he’s finished busting out the GOP there will be no point in running a candidate.  However, as long as he is alive, it will have to be somebody in his circle of car salesmen and strip-club-waitresses-turned-politicians.  Possibly Don Jr.

I  have no doubt any of them could get DOZENS of votes. Maybe not RDS or Rand Paul,though.

You might want to crawl out from under that bridge from time to time since you can't think of any conservatives.

You might want to lower your snark @catfish1957 .  Asking who "conservatives" actually like is a fair question.

No conceit...just FACT:

Thread began on March 9th...took 13 days to reach 139 posts.

428 additional posts in 3 days since I jumped into the tread on March 21st. after a 2 month absence.

Agree with it or not...Who's the straw that stirs the drink around here?

Thanks for playing.   wink777

Trump deserves bashing.  Most of his policies turned to mud. He ran up the deficit. He attacks conservatives. Right now he's funneling funds from the RNC to help pay for his legal bills.  What about those down ballot?  Without a majority in either House, even if he does manage to be seated again (which he won't) he'll run into the same roadblocks as he did before.  Heck, even with a full majority he basically did nothing.  Certainly no draining of the swamp, he didn't build the wall and he didn't lock her up.

Today is going to prove interesting as he is in court for two cases, one of which he has to come up with an astronomical amount of bond money. 

Don't get me wrong, I honestly hope he prevails. 

I just don't see him as the great saver of America that you think he is.

Other than Reagan,I honestly have a hard time remembering the last time I was happy about my voting choices.

Then  again,a President doesn't serve to make voters happy. They serve,or are SUPPOSED to serve,to protect the  US Constitution,and by extension,America as a free and independent nation of free people.

It is not our "best play",it is our ONLY play. We stop the march to globalism in America now,or we stop America as being anything other than a colony of "Globalism,Incorporated."

And truthfully,I think it is all you want. I honestly think if your dream would come true you would be happy to take us all back to the 1800's because that  is the imaginary world you  live in.

Oh I'll be voting @sneakypete - Just not for your guy. Gianforte (Governor) has my vote. Rosendale (congressman) would have had my vote. Dunno about Sheehy yet.

Certainly *NOT* voting for Testercle (whacko-liberal)
And certainly NOT voting for Tumpy.

The question was "Who is popular with conservatives", not electability.  That's twice in the past 12 hours you've misconstrued my comments.

I could have gone along with that about 12-15 pages ago. Now it's taken on the characteristics of a soap opera; you can tune in at any point and be caught up to date because you've seen it over and over and over and over again. Click on any page and you won't read anything new. Just snark, accusations, name-calling, one-upsmanship...
