Republican 2024 primary picks

[teufelhund1918]

I would love to say I would vote for Trump as I think he is the man to turn this country back around, but I have to stick to my guns when it comes to his age. There is a time when your mental faculties begin to decline and he is getting to that age IMHO. I'm glad he is endorsing people both locally and nationally. I really believe he could be more effective by doing what he is doing now with local and national politics. I wish he and others would come up with their version of a "Contract with America". If someone asks for his endorsement, they have to agree with the ideals and agree to have their feet held to the fire. But good luck there. We are talking about politicians....

This. If I'm Trump, I announce CWA2.0, and declare that MAGAPAC will ONLY donate to and endorse CWA2.0 signers--and that anyone who breaches the contract has an amount equal to whatever MAGAPAC funding they received already in escrow waiting for a Primary Challenger. As much fun as watching Lefties light their hair on fire again would be... well, I don't see his ego letting him do this, but the ideal would be win for the vindication, be the hatchetman and ram Schedule F through and start firing everybody, then in late January 2027 just after half-term announce retirement (like Jack Ryan from the Presidency in Clancy's novels) and pass the torch to VP DeSantis to finish out the term then serve two full ones of his own.

Sadly, that's about as likely as learning to crap diamonds... so we're stuck having to "go to war with the army we have" and figure out how to get results with the assets we have while we try to raise and train the needed reinforcements, kind of like the early-stage war with Japan up to about Coral Sea and Midway. The other problem is how readily the right splinters into personality cults, well illustrated by my own state being stuck with Impeacher Newhouse because some Mouthbreathing Retards claiming to be on the "throw the bum out" side were too damn stupid to rally behind Culp and threw their votes to a spoiler.

Age?

I believe Trump is sharper than men half his age.

Ever listen to a Trump rally? He's not forgetting names, stumbling over words and sure as hell doesn't need a teleprompter to tell him what to say... for hours at a time. Ever listen to Obama without a teleprompter to tell him what to say? Uh.. Uh... Um... Um... Uh. About the only time George W was able to string together two coherent sentences without stumbling was when he was talking about his religion. Probably one of the few subjects he actually believed what he was saying or otherwise understood.

Trump has operated businesses around the globe. He understands how the world works and personally knows a lot of the players. President Trump succeeded while others predicted doom.

Anyway... It's about policy, not age. Don't care if Biden is 30 or if AOC is 80. No thanks.

He was right about that too. Clinton was gonna get impeached like Hillary was gonna be thrown in prison. Thompson saw the dog and pony show for what it is and decided to not vote to burn witches. Of all the things Clinton actually DID, that we went after him for that just pathetic.

Then we got the Jimmy Swaggart version of "I've sinned..."

We will have to disagree on that brother- I wanted that pedo scoundrel convicted if for nothing more than spittin on the sidewalk.
And correct on the Jimmy Swaggert apology. My only consolation is knowing the complete, absolute, utter & total HELL he had to live with, named Hillary, during all that. Remember reading someone at the WH reported that a couple days after the news broke..he was eating a bowl of cereal, with his head down, with SHE-BITCH was standing over him riding his ass like a government mule. I hope he caught hell, cause he's gonna FOR REAL one day.

Looks like we have 5 people who want other than Trump or DeSantis to be the Republican candidate.

5 democrats?

What has DeSantis said about the FBI raid of Trumps resort home?

Where has he been since this news broke?

How many questions has he taken on the subject and what were his answers?

Most of y’all are falling hook line and sinker for the deep state fake.

I don’t necessarily dislike DeSantis, but he is normally quite vocal on such matters and the silence is deafening. I wonder why that could be?

I agree. Some people are sharp as a tack in their 90's.

It depends on the person. I say he has shown me he can do it every time I see him. Never a question.

He is 76 so he has seen a lot. How he can have the umph he's got. Especially after what they've done to him. I don't know. He is that one in 10,000.

This kinda fits.

DeSantis pretty much covered all the bases in his response concerning the raid on Mar-a-Lago. Link here: https://nypost.com/2022/08/15/totall...r-a-lago-raid/

As far as 2024 republican presidential politics... If Trump wants the nomination I believe it will be his. Of course circumstances can change at any time.

DeSantis is an attractive candidate and I'd vote for him in Trump's absence. I also like Cruz. I'd have enthusiastically voted for Cruz in 2016 if Trump hadn't won the nomination. I think Pompeo would make a great VP. The are others. GOP has a solid bench to choose from.

I actually saw an amusing but unlikely thought over at Breitbart... what if DeSantis won and named Trump as his FBI Director or Atty General with the sole mandate of hatchet-man?
