Pulse of Briefers- Election Sentiment 8 Months Out

[roamer_1]

@LMAO

Yet,we either root for and play with the team we have,or to just go home and suck our thumbs and let everybody else decide who  is going to win.

I choose neither.

[Hoodat]

Yet,we either root for and play with the team we have, or .  .  .

Or we get a new team.

[cato potatoe]

Policy arguments, while valid, ignore the real threat of another Trump term.  He is a lunatic, and there will be nobody in his cabinet or the republican caucus to resist his destructive impulses.  The GOP would be a permanent subsidiary of the Trump family, having no use for conservative ideals, and existing only to provide jobs for his slope-headed children.  That is, until its cult leader does something truly abominable, leading to a generation of progressive government.

Nicely stated. And certainly a worthy thought - It could happen just like that.

That's right... Believe it or not, wandering in the wilderness doesn't scare me at all.

@cato potatoe


WTH are you talking about?

Trump can only serve ONE term,and then he is out of office.

This just gives us 4 years to come up with  someone to replace him.

Granted that  is not  much time,but all we have now is  a few more months before the next election. IF Biden or his replacement  wins,chances are that will be our last actual election.

[catfish1957]

@catfish1957

A blatant lie!

If you believe that,you believe that I am not a patriot,not to mention many others who post on this board as well as the lurkers.

Read the entire sentence.....  I said he is as much as one.   Your really got a tough time with reading comprehension....get help

[Sighlass]

I have downloading a bunch of music off Youtube (rare 80s junk nobody be me cares for).... and dang if Youtube is papering the wall with anti-Trump stuff no matter what search terms you use. Trump can't pay, will they start taking his property, countdown to Trump deadline, stocks tank... obscure liberal channels suddenly getting highlighted in recommendations...

Good grief, the constant bad publicity Trump got us.... I just wish he went away and let us put up a real conservative without all the baggage he gives the press.

[corbe]

   Good luck with that.  Trump was making up his own Press 50 years ago, calling into NY DJ's claiming to be someone else.

[sneakypete]

No, @sneakypete , I am standing directly on principle, which I have given reason to, all the way along.

There is plenty of room for compromise once the basic unmovable principles of Conservatives are met.


@roamer_1

ROFLAMO! So,you say you are willing to compromise as long as everyone agrees with  you?

Gee,watta deal!

You can't see it,but what you are demanding is fascism. Nobody gets what they want but you.

[sneakypete]

@sneakypete

It’s painfully obvious that you have no grasp of economics

@LMAO

It is also painfully  obvious you have no grasp of reality.

[sneakypete]

So in conclusion, this is what we’ve established

It has been proven that on social issues, Donald Trump tends to lean left of center.

No,it hasn't. What has been proven is that Trump knows he has to compromise on some things to get his way on others. That is the way democracies work.

On illegal immigration, although better than Biden, deported fewer illegal immigrants in his first four years then Obama did in his first four years despite he making bold claims of deportation in his 2016 campaign

Do you think we elect Presidents,or dictators?

Only dictators have the power you seem to think that Trump had.

 

On Covid, he was closer to the Democrats than many Republicans, both on a gubernatorial level and congressional level.

I  don't know,but  I am guessing that was a compromise he had to make in order to get something  else done.

When an employer seeks to hire an  employee, he interviews that employee. He checks out that employees work record and background

We should do no less  for somebody running to lead the country, especially in these times

"We,who?

You?

WTH makes you think that YOU are qualified to determine who should run for President and who shouldn't?

[sneakypete]

@Sighlass

Have you  lost your freaking mind?????

You may not even be mentally competent to be allowed to vote if you are serious about what you wrote.

[DCPatriot]

That's right... Believe it or not, wandering in the wilderness doesn't scare me at all.

ROFL!   That's because you've been doing that everyday in your own front yard

[roamer_1]

Gee,watta deal!

You can't see it,but what you are demanding is fascism. Nobody gets what they want but you.

Not at all @sneakypete - It has nothing to do with me.
That was the agreement.
That should be honored.
Or there is no agreement - Which is fine btw...
But also then, no obligation.

You guys broke that. Not me.

And that ain't me getting everything. No where near it.
That's the bare minimum.
After that comes compromise. And there's plenty of room for that.

And also - Check the definition of 'fascist'. Because it looks more like your guy. Bearing in mind that he - HE - took control of industry in order to shut it off during covid. THAT was fascist.

Fascism is impossible with libertarianism honored.

[roamer_1]

ROFL!   That's because you've been doing that everyday in your own front yard

That's right. So telling me I'm all alone don't matter to me at all.

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.

[catfish1957]

Who *is* popular with "conservatives"?

Just as an initial thught, RDS. Cruz, Cotton, Hawley, Rand Paul.  And there are a few others.

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

[DCPatriot]

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.

Any one of the above would have got my vote... except Cruz, whose orange stain had tainted him. I would probably vote for him too, with a fair bit of talking I could be convinced.

@catfish1957

ROFL!     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 or RIV could 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.

[DCPatriot]

And you think people didn't catch on that you're a shit-stirrer? Puleeze.

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]

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.

[catfish1957]

@catfish1957

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

 

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.

[roamer_1]

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.

[libertybele]

You might want to lower your snark @catfish1957 .  Asking who "conservatives" actually like is a fair question since you all only bash Trump and his record ----

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. 

[sneakypete]

I think you may have read earlier that I am relcutantly pulling the lever for Trump, and am not happy about it one iota.

 

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.

 

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.

@catfish1957

And THAT is where "the rubber meets the road"!

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."

Well,since you won't be voting  for anything,nothing  is what you will get.

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.

[roamer_1]

@roamer_1

Well,since you won't be voting  for anything,nothing  is what you will get.

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.

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.

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...
