Sadly it does look like another basement election is upon us.

What can I say, we are the Stupid Party who thinks 2024 will be like 2016 and that Democrats will be foolish enough to run someone as unpopular as Hillary or Biden. Lots of MAGA hopium looking at worthless national polls against Biden a year out.

My Liberal in-laws are very worried about Biden and totally believe he will step down for health reasons and are totally stoked to vote for anyone not Trump.

Republican? Trump hating Pence type Republican? What party is the stupid party you are in?

Used to call myself a Libertarian but their party sucks. I now identify as an independent American who is sick of all the corruption, warfare, and destruction of our great country.

I voted for Trump and will vote for him again if he is the nominee. Any Conservative or Libertarian (even a JEB!) is better than any Democrat running including fucking RFK.

I'm afraid that if Trump were to somehow pull out another miracle, he will be worse than Schwarzenegger turning into a Liberal squish like Arnold did after he got whipped by the Unions during his first proposition fight in California. Trump will be a New York Liberal spending the entire 4 years trying to kiss up to the Mainstream Media and Democrats to burnish his legacy while Conservatives and MAGA will get the shaft. It's not like Trump hasn't dumped and abandoned numerous allies and supporters over the years. There is no guiding principle or loyalty beyond Trump. It's just Trump and his family. You can already see it in Trump's messaging going after Conservatives and saying nice things about Hillary and Newsom in the past few months.

No surprise that I am a DeSantis fan.

But as a Californian, it was very enjoyable to watch DeSantis just mop the floor and slap our smugly Governor all over the place. It wasn't even close. Gavin has never faced that level of scrutiny being so used to fawning press carrying his water. Honestly can't believe Newsome agreed to this debate. He got absolutely clobbered.

Meanwhile, Trump world grifters like Laura Loomer were busy defending Gavin and making more left wing attacks against DeSantis.

He just slit his political throat:

Moot point anyway if the Colorado Republican Party goes through with having a caucus instead of a primary if Trump is not on the ballot.

Not really. Because ppl outside of CO won't really know.

Cry baby MAGA taking a break from sucking up to Disney, Bud Light, BLM, Trannies, Gavin Newsom and Hillary Clinton to complain about DeSantis not bowing down to Trump in the primary?

Did DeSantis try to get Trump disqualified like Trump's Super PAC tried to get DeSantis disqualified earlier this year?

MAGA likes to throw all kinds of punches and low blows, but shriek like hypocritical Democrat women if they are not shown sufficient fealty.

Even though the Colorado Supreme Court is totally corrupt and insane to try and get Trump removed off the ballot, sadly - the majority of Americans are happy about it.

The reality is that Biden won't be running next year and Trump is still one of the most unpopular people in America that will motivate millions to vote against him.

It is not fair, but it is the reality we live in. Trump remains deeply unpopular and is losing more Conservatives like me with his dopey Leftwing attacks on DeSantis.

Yet - knowing all this, we are still sleepwalking into oblivion nominating Trump again. Democrats and the Media are playing us like a fiddle knowing that Trump's popularity would go up with Republican primary voters with every B.S. indictment.

We will all be here in 2024 wondering how Trump lost just like Trump's picks of Dr. Oz and Herschel Walker lost badly and costing us the Senate in 2022.

Define conservative?

Some of us know that Democrats cheat.

Top Democrats

Of course they do.

But if it is not close, they can't cheat.

We need to run someone who can win by a decent margin and knows how to run a ground game organization. DeSantis just did that quite handedly in Florida while many Trump candidates flamed out.

Flamed out? Or cheated?

One thing I learned from Trump's first election in 2016 was the polls are very wrong. Apparently they are just another tool used to manipulate the public, and not to read the pubic.

You said pubic.... lol. Joking aside polls are shit. I think they're getting worse as well. I actually don't understand why we need or want them. By default it's manipulation of the voter. Follow the crowd type mindset. Pick your pony and don't rely on other bull shit propaganda.
