It is a primary, not a general election. Stop listening to the pundits - they'll rot your brain. I am not a Never Trumper, and even if I were you would need to address my arguments. But you engage in personal attacks as a matter of course so obviously that approach is not possible for you. This forum is an echo chamber that drowns out any contrary opinion with irrelevant personal attacks so your reaction was as expected.
The reality is that 50% in the first primary is not a blow-out for a second-term president. For example, even though he barely won more than 50% in the NH primary LBJ over McCarthy, the poor showing caused him to stop campaigning for president.
That young lady would never head off with George Clooney.
I had to look up "molon labe".
And they wouldn't have gotten away with attacks like they did on 9/11 if our government hadn't disarmed everyone on commercial airliners. That happened in 1963 with no discussion so far as I can tell of the 2A implications nor the downsides of having a captive disarmed group.The Government hates that law abiding citizens can own and carry guns. They want total control and power over us as do the elite in the private sector do as well.
Subsequently hijackings peaked in 1969. Correlation does not imply causality, but one does have to wonder if hijackers, mostly political in those days, were emboldened by all the passengers being disarmed. I also note that while it is not good to be shooting off firearms on commercial aircraft, that the risks are likely preferable to everyone being flown to their deaths as a part of a flying bomb in a suicide attack.
Allowing passengers to exercise their 2A rights might also tend to reduce the disruptive passenger incidents we have seen a rise in. Wasn't it Heinlein who wrote "an armed society is a polite society".
These tradeoffs should like be an issue decided by the airlines, their insurance companies, and passengers in a market process. See http://realairlinesecurity.org.
I have never in my life understood why American Jews support Democrats.
I have hope, faint though it is, that they will wake up and stop supporting those anti semitics.
Final Countdown. I just watched it a month or so ago. It was on Prime or one of the streaming services.
I can stop the carbs and still have trouble losing it but it’s probably because I also need to cut back on the protein and fat a little, total calories matters. I tend not to pay attention to calories, just carbs.
I also note that while they may have the legal power to do this in their state, it may not work politically -

All told, I don’t think this will hurt Trump much and think the states having this power is perhaps a good thing, versus a gigantic Federal government controlled by the two branches of the uniparty.
Kind of funny how after her Governorship she got on the board of Boeing and was able to but a nice little house. A bit beholden to the MIC for my liking.
