My original draft disappeared, so I had to do it over.

I would prefer the knowledge of a successful 80 year old, to someone without the knowledge and fantastic health.
I doubt you get my drift.

WAY better to play kingmaker like old men do... And pour all that into a younger man.

A thread was posted about who would lead the party.

Still more disrespect in your question above.

Let those taking a poll rank them. If you think Trump is #16, fine.

I was taught respect as a boy. Seems that is out of style.
I no longer respect lefties of any sort. I speak directly to them.

For those that claim they would not vote for Trump, for the primary, he would not need your vote. If he decides to run, he wins the primary hands down. It is the general that is a question mark. If Republicans do not remove the electronic voting, it just does not matter who runs, for the elections will be fixed.

Corruption in the USA is worse than any banana republic at present. If we do nothing about it, we die as a nation.

Ollie North would make an excellent running mate due to his connections.
A G Gordon Liddy, only brighter. Ollie is also a dangerous man.

If he doesn't run, then I would be interested in who he will support.

Any Republican should always evaluate, if I do this, will the corrupt media have a field day? Sen Ted Cruz flying off to a Mexico paradise was an extremely dumb thing to do while his state was experiencing a major crisis. Better to be seen distributing water and food. Being out there offering help and showing you care versus heading to a resort during a crisis is a leader. Cruz is no leader.

For those of you that think he is the real thing, he isn't. Texans will not forget his actions this week when the next election comes round. And nationally, he is out.

I applaud Ted for taking care of his family. Did you ever think that he has seen the writing on the wall after the DEM attack on the capitol, Pence's obvious involvement and the refusal of the SCOTUS to even hear a case?? If he runs for re -election I'll be surprised. He has 3 long years to endure of DEM corruption and ridiculous accusations -- heck AOC accused him of trying to murder her, yet people are finding fault with him taking his family some place warm?

He remains part of the GOP; a party that I cannot continue to support. The party is completely fractured and as long as Chuckie has a grip on McConnell and Mittens, it will continue to crumble. The GOP is dead and Ted knows it.

Anyone who thinks we'll see a fair election in '22 is daydreaming and anyone thinking that the GOP has a snowball's chance of winning the House in '24 is delusional.

The DEM game is over. They've won. Either we let things remain status quo or we find a way to install a new Constitutional Republic; otherwise the Dems will retain power. That's the current reality.

It only empowers the DEMS and continues to divide the GOP. Every single conservative should have defended Cruz . But no, let's all pile on top and take shots at him; after all that's exactly what the DEMS want. They know that the infighting within the GOP has all but destroyed it. The GOP can't even get their leader to back members of his own party; they've got him siding with them instead.

And we wonder why we keep losing seats?? Sure the DEMS stole the election, but it goes much deeper than that. The DEMS have managed to implode the GOP from within.

Both parties have problems. The Dems cheated to win with the elections in 2020, but that does not mean we accept that as a permanent condition. Through the years, the Dems have always cheated, but 2020 was a huge effort of millions of votes switched electronically. I am not sure that has happened before.

Anyone not believing that the vote was electronically doctored has limited tech knowledge. I am 100% certain it happened.

And events like what happened in battleground states where poll watchers were restricted from observing or forced to observe a mile away should result in all votes counted during that day null and void. There was a very simple explanation for when vote counting stopped, and that was to implement code to alter the vote electronically.

And the GOP is not finished. Trump is out, but he is not down. And with the Dems destroying this country as they are at present, 2022 and 2024 should be huge victories for the GOP if they do not screw the pooch. Mitt Romney is finished, and POSs like Ben Sasse, Lee, Collins, Murkowski, and the unnamed others should all be forced out of politics. The Republican Party needs to rebrand itself as the party of the people. They do that, and they win. The American people are growing tired of business as usual in Washington, do not want globalization, and still have a chance to have a constitutional republic.

We need to end the nonsense in our schools if we want a republic to survive. BLM needs to be forced out of existence, for it is an anarchy group, same with all socialists. We need to return to condemning these people, and not prop them up like righteous folks.

27-28 state legislatures are controlled by Republicans, and they are attempting to establish laws to contain the cheating by Democommies. No small feat. This gets done, and Trump or whoever running pay attention to the efforts of the Dems to cheat, and call it out when it happens, and we might have a fair election.

A recent development I find very strange is Chuck Schumer was strongly behind the idea of Puerto Rico becoming a state in October, 2020, and now he is saying he opposes the idea. WHAT IS GOING ON? That makes no sense! PR is 95% Democommie, would provide two Dem senators for forever.

Too much defeatism on this board. McConnell is in his last term. So is Romney and a bunch of others. The party needs to get focused.

Frankly, if the GOP would quit kissing the Democrats' asses and sucking up to the commie media, and start thinking about the people they are supposed to represent some time other than the month before an election, they might do better.
The enemedia aren't going to be fair, the election sure as hell won't be and they'd better up their game and get back to doing the work of their constituents or the Party is done.

Trump...old news? Really? The man has the constitution of no man I ever knew. He is a dynamo, and if he wants to run, he will win the nomination. PERIOD!!!

Talk of anyone else is a waste of time until he officially announces he is not running. And he is not going to do that until the last minute.

And it will NEVER be Cruz! NEVER!!! He is missing something, besides lacking charisma. He is brilliant, but my experience is the brilliant ones are lucky to put the correct shoes on each foot, and lack in other things too.

No, it will be Trump, and his 78 will be like 58 for most. Again it is early to call, but he will want to play the media for everything he can, just to screw the maggots they are.

One thing I do know, Pence is out. Trump will not bring him back. This time, Trump will need someone to help him carry a state, so it will be someone from PA, OH, MI, WI, FL, AZ and TX, or it will be a woman VP. I can see a Trump/DeSantis ticket, or a Trump/Noem ticket. Some here do not like Noem because she has indicated making illegal aliens citizens, but that will not matter if she is VP. And I can see Pompeo back again. I liked him.

One thing grossly deficient with Trump was no ground game in 2016 and in 2020. I consider that a huge mistake, and if he were to do anything I would strongly suggest he have a strong ground game in the battleground states, with thousands willing to help where necessary.

And if Trump decides not to run, it will be DeSantis/Noem. I think they would make a strong ticket. Cruz can be Sec of State maybe, or AG.

The 1964 election was the turning point for America. It marked the time at which American voters decided they wanted to send our kids to die on the battlefields of Vietnam. They decided they wanted our federal government to encourage through subsidization the breakup of the American family. And they wanted an end to free charitable health care for the poor, choosing instead to fund it by borrowing money from future generations.

I was alive and kicking back then,and don't remember being in favor of ANY of that as it was stated. As for VN,I was old enough to vote,but since I was in the army and a career soldier,I didn't because of the obvious conflict of interest.
