You truly believe he takes all the slings and arrows of howling Dem/RINO/cabal hate and lies and persecution and investigations and faux impeachment for … his ego?

That the promises he kept to us, under constant, vitriolic attacks from 2016 to 2020 and all the things we miss now, he did for … himself?

He was and is a lightning rod for the corrupt. All we need now to clearly see who OUR enemies are is to catalogue and eliminate those who hate him. They’re making no secret of their position that STOPPING TRUMP is their only hope to preserve their grift and perfidy ad infinitum, and keep AMERICANS from interfering in our own governing.

Let’s face it, we’re all imperfect and we’re all going to leave a legacy. As Rush has said, if President Trump wants his legacy to be an American government with less corruption, a prosperous and secure America, and secure elections, that’s fine with me.

But he said mean things……

But Trump said we could. Hell, I even yelled it at a chant at a Trump rally.

I don’t know why he didn’t do this, but you could sever all political appointees. Put a friendly team as interim leadership, and seal and destroy anyone who refuses to play ball. If you can’t fire them, put them in the Mail room. Have hiring freezes for 8 years and let agencies shrink by attrition. Etc etc.

So is your solution to hold tight with Trump, who doesn't stand a chance in hell of getting re-elected?

I'd go with DeSantis, with any one of the hot young Republican women, which might even include not-yet-Republican Tulsi.
Or Nikki or Kristi or Kari or a few others.

I'll just leave this here.....

Robert Costa (born October 14, 1985) is an American political reporter who is the chief election and campaign correspondent for CBS News. Prior to joining CBS in 2022, Costa was a longtime national political reporter for The Washington Post. Previously, he was a political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC and the moderator and managing editor of Washington Week on PBS. He is the co-author with Bob Woodward of Peril, a # 1 New York Times bestseller on the final days of the Trump presidency, including the 2021 United States Capitol attack.

Rush, it wasn’t a joke. That’s one man’s opinion.

And it wasn’t just a single comment about DeSantis. I’ve posted plenty more on my DeSantis thread. I didn’t address any other than DeSantis, but do you think telling the crowd at an Ohio rally that JD Vance has been kissing his ass to get Trump’s support, that’s merely a joke?  Was that designed to help or hurt JD Vance?

I’ve just completed 40+ years in business, and dealt with literally thousands of clients, up close and personal. I’m very familiar with the type of person that Trump is.  Some people have to diminish others any time they might outshine the person.  They say they don’t mean it, but they mean it, because such diminishment serves a purpose to eliminate competition (even if no such competition practically exists), and of course boost their ego.

Damaging people who I believe can lead the MAGA movement beyond Trump is an affront to me. I’m 62 years old. My finances and my retirement can’t withstand another 6 years of democrat control, and I think Trump is incapable of winning the general election. Period. And in the unlikely event he does win, the blow back will be so severe that the subsequent 4 year period will be a dem presidency.  I’m also getting fatigued with having to defend him when he becomes a little bitch. I’ve got too much on my plate.
