And yet your guy's campaign is openly running to sabotage "the other,"

What is it that YOU  "think" politicians do,run in order to help someone beat them?

Trump likes monuments to himself. Look at Trump Towers as an example. There's a very good chance that "caring about how he's written about in the history books" would involve him proposing a new government program we can ill afford, like the LBJ did with the Great Society or Obama did with Obamacare. Presidents, like Calvin Coolidge, did boring things like put us on sound fiscal footing and grew the economy. But FDR, he's the one with the New Deal and SS. How many people do you think even know who Coolidge was?

And it's not hard to believe that his supporters will support what he's proposing and threaten to primary any Republicans who oppose him

This.

It’s always rubbed me the wrong way that TRUMP has to be huge and emblazoned on everything that came from this man.  And he makes it huge, literally.

I thought he must be a great businessman.  His show indicated that he had a good head for it, and even that he was indeed “diverse” and open to different types of people.  (But that also showed me who his friends are, and many of them are wrong side and screwy.)

Trump, in any case, is a narcissist.  It’s all about him.

We've always known that Trump is a narcissist, and bully, but IMO in spite of all that he did display a lot of patriotism, had us going in the right direction with his energy independence, lowered unemployment and boosted our reputation around the globe.

Unfortunately, he didn't take full advantage of his super majority and was unable to make the negotiations across the aisle that were very much needed and therefore for the most part, none of his policies took hold. Brandon was able to dismantle them the moment he took office.

He ran up the deficit, he FAILED to complete the border wall, which was the issue he ran on and he absolutely FAILED to calm the riots which he promised to do. This country continues to suffer from his failures.

No, we don't need another 4 years of Trump who has stated he will be out for revenge. Where would that leave our country??

You are an intelligent man--at least as a rule, you have been in most matters, IMHO.

Kindly do yourself and the forum a favor and stop posting this because you aren't happy with "A", you must be ecstatcic with "B" false dichotomy bullshit. Help keep the forum IQ above 65. I've been reading down this thread and it is getting to look more like some Twitter feed. Just call each other poopy-heads and get it over with and put the thread out of our collective misery, already.

I'm looking at what's running for POTUS in '24, and to be perfectly honest, I'm not happy with any of them. THEY ALL SUCK, just one or two SUCKS LESS THAN THE OTHERS.

Sad thing about America's future.

If we survive, if we do as well with the candidates we have as we can, we will only elect those who suck the least.

That isn't much to vote FOR.

This! This is the very reason Trump will never go down in the history books as a great president, he is not a uniter of Americans beyond his own base as Reagan and other great Presidents were. What seems to be the very thing that endears him to his base(and admittedly me once) is that he is a "bomb thrower", but that very thing is what keeps him from being a uniter and achieving lasting results and it gets old really fast especially when the bombs are hurled at conservative members of his own? party.

Life is so much more peaceful with him on ignore.   happy77

His arguments get more bizarre as a thread goes on
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.

The similarities are there

The only difference is Obama had a friendly press

@jmyrlefuller

Great point.  Trump has attacked viciously any Republican who doesn't kowtow to him.  He even endorsed Stacey Abrams over Brian Kemp because Kemp doesn't like him.  And Trump himself said he wouldn't support other GOP nominees if they won the nomination.

Trump is about Trump.  And that's all he's about.

So,who  should it be about,you?

The issue is he makes a point of naming every single thing with his name, and puts it in gigantic lettering.

I knew you’d use that rationalization.  “It’s his business name!”

But in truth not every personally named business Corp. stamps every single thing in this manner.

I’d agree.  Trump has some good qualities and some good accomplishments.  It’s just on balance he shoots himself in the foot.  Ruins everything by burning bridges, etc.

It’s much worse.

Never thought the paper-hanging butt-kissing would come from the conservative side.

And that worries me more than Trump himself.

Still waiting for one of you Trump sycophants to answer this simple question.  What is the point of voting for someone in the primary who has a proven track record of signing off on every single piece of Democrat legislation that comes across his desk and whose negatives are so high that he will never garner 50% of the November vote?

It's true enough. Conservatism starts in small government and fiscal responsibility - The very root of everything Conservative is there. And there is no way the Tump movement defends small government and fiscal austerity... ergo...

Which is why his psychophants will not defend him by the traditional Conservative numbers. Because they can't, in the first place, and because those things hold little to no value with them... As has been well documented hereon. Yours is a populist movement, not a Conservative one, else me and mine would be standing with you.
