The future of the GOP doesn't have to rely on Trump

Hmm...........love of country, eh??? Beyond brainless!!!
A measure of Character is by how one reacts to adversity.
Trump finished school during the Vietnam War while he was draft eligible.
So how did he deal w/his situation?
By arranging a deal w/a Podiatrist Doctor Tennant of Daddy Fred.
In exchange for Trump receiving a bogus bone spur diagnosis on his ankles,
rendering him ineligible for the draft, the Podiatrist received a long term
sweetheart lease agreement for both his Office and his House in Jamaica.
The Daughters of the Podiatrist, both Doctors employed by their Father,
affirmed this in Grand Jury testimony before a NYC DA, involving a related
legal matter. So much for Trump's love of country!

There you go again, calling Trump supporters a "cult."

Sez the guy who thinks all of future history is preordained by ancient philosophers.  Pretty rich IMO.

I bet his club meetings are a blast!!!!

Mr. Trump has a love of country and belief in everyday Americans, matched by few.

No, it doesn't, nor should it.

Trump got us into this mess. Bad SCOTUS nominees. Corrupt public health zealots. Deficit spending just like Obama or Biden. He didn't do squat and didn't try. He was only interested in aggrandizing himself, and he managed to fool tens of millions of people into thinking he gave a damn. All he ever did was run his mouth. Where's that flipping wall?

Maybe it's because I'm autistic, but I still don't see how so many people refuse to see right through this clown. He's been around for over 30 years. We all know he's a self-aggrandizing liar and always has been. Every time he opens his mouth or puts out a press release, it's plain to see... and tens of millions of people think he's more credible than anyone else out there? Even after his disaster of a Presidency?

Donald Trump managed to lose an election despite being the incumbent in a one-on-one race for the first time since Jimmy Carter (and Joe Biden is giving Carter a run for his money). You can scream about rigged elections all you want, but he did nothing to stop it.

If the Republican Party insists that the clusterbuck that is Donald Trump is the best we have to offer, we are screwed. Do you think it's any coincidence that the first real success the GOP has had in a substantial election is the first one without Trump dominating it? I mean, Virginia is in the GOP column for the first statewide election in nearly a decade BECAUSE the other side overplayed the Trump card.

Let's face it: the Trump era is over. We can do better. We MUST do better.

Well then they better learn to balls up and fight.

For one reason by lying about losing for the last year...

And you just lost all credibility...

Annnnnnnnd, back to the Topic....

No, the GOP does not have to rely on Donald Trump.  It already doesn't.  Youngkin, while accepting Trump's endorsement to get going, did not run on Trump.  McAwful did and look where that got him...A posh job in the Sloe Joe Administration.

Trump is providing the gasoline, and candidates for the GOP have been spraying it out pretty effectively.  ICYMI, that's the definition of a "Kingmaker."  That will do nicely for me.

definitely not a cult 

[sneakypete]

For one reason by lying about losing for the last year causing many normal Republicans to believe the system is corrupted, Trump forfeited any right to show his face in public much less run for president on a major party platform. And yes, I too voted for him twice.
Not only his incessant lying and narcissism but his other shenanigans like instigating a riot at the CB supremely disqualify him.

Calm down,Missy! You seem to be getting "the vapors".
