Some speculate that Trump's base is not growing. His Base if loyal, almost cultist according to some Radical Left Liberal/Socialist/C****e/FatShts, not me though... but many Moderate RINO's left him, after the J6 party @The Capitol. A few left after the 1st Impeachment, more after the 2nd Impeachment. Some left after the 4/91 indictments/charges. Some waited until the E. Jean Carrol $5 million rape ruling. Other v**ers waited untill his $80+ "Can't keep his Big Fat Mouth silent on the matter. The $454 million/No NYC business ruling. Of Course, the early quitters were out when 61 Judges denied his winning. The original quitters were either the "Grab them by the kittys" or the Stormy Daniels supporters.

Anyway you cut it, his base is stronger, but smaller.
The next wave of quitters maybe the GOP candidates that watch money going to Mr. Trump's legal fees instead of their campaign.
Let's not forget that his daughter-in-law will co-chair the RNC. Of course the RNC chairs will continue to organize/finance/strategize to get their candidate elected with the highly qualified and proven political sk**ls of professional political wonks... or they can depend on Ms. Trump.

Hmmm, they must not have heard all of that news on the podcasts.

I have three sisters who claim to have missed anything negative about him or their fellow cultists. No doubt two of them purchased the flashy new sneakers he's hawking.

The real question is, who do you have that is better? It is NOT Joe Biden. That man has been nothing short of a disaster.

Kamala? Hahahahahaaahahghgahahahahahahaha!

Is there a different Democrat anywhere? Biden/Harris had their 4 years in the sun and they are well on their way to bankrupting the country.

Then you have Nikki Haley and she just seems like another conniving asshole to me. You could call her a liberal tomorrow and I'd believe you.

There's RFK Jr. I like some of the things he has to say and he probably wouldn't have the slow ramp up that candidates outside of politics have.

Gabbard? Smart but a bit too new.

Vivek? Also smart but brand spanking new.

I think this e******n is going to be less about Joe and Donald and a lot more about the farm team they develop in the next 4 years.

The good news for Republicans is that they're already on the ground doing it and Senile Joe is the face of the Democrat party.

I'm not thrilled about either of our likely choices. Anybody in their right mind had to realize that the immigration situation is abhorrent, yet it seems to work for Biden. I'm not so keen on Trump's acumen in foreign affairs, either. His withdrawal from Syria was ill advised and he set in motion the withdrawal from Afghanistan which ended up being a travesty in many ways. His support of Ukraine is questionable. The Nato business, however, is smoke. You have to understand Trump-speak to understand that he's putting pressure on countries falling short of their commitment.

Why is Trump so popular? He speaks to the knee-jerk reactionaries on the right. Why is Biden so popular? He speaks to the knee-jerk reactionaries on the left.

Glad to see you point out Trump's Nato stance. I agree with you. Cheers.

A lot more than you expect or will like!

All the major polls show Trump beating Biden in the swing states so if he holds onto the states he got last time plus the swing states...


Oh, I don't like a lot of things he pops off at the mouth about, but I understand it since I often do the same thing.
But his policies worked:
a. Smashed ISIS
b. Started no new wars
c. Putin & friends stayed pretty tame, mouthed off but didn't do much action
d. The Middle East and other hot spots were a lot quiter
e. The economy kept growing and as one Biden v**er from 2020 said in a "Man on the Street" thing I saw on TV "I'm v****g for Trump this time. I
had more money in my pocket."
f. The border was better controlled than it had been for a long time and illegal crossings were going down

All in all I would rather have someone mouthy and irritating at times who gets things done for the country than a nice Old Grampa who needs three Secret Service agents to find his ice cream cone while most of his policies flop and make things worse.

Over and Out - I am not in the mood to engage in a flame war. I have coffee to drink and books to read while I spoil the dogs and go through my "Honey Do List".

Have you checked your 'patriot's don't list'? No. 1 - Don't v**e for the rapist.

Not convinced. For a public place she sure wasn't much of a screamer, scratcher or biter.

robertjerl Loc: Corona, California

Not to mention, she has accused several men at one time or another. What kinds of places and people does she hang around? Or is making accusations a hobby?

SteveR Loc: Michigan

I was not aware of that, Robert. Do you have a source?

Texcaster Loc: Queensland

Fellas, that is certainly more worthy baggage for you to kick down the road to November. There's so much, all the best.

It was one of those filler articles on either Fox or MSN online, and it disappeared after a few days.

I just found this, written by herself, long, repetitive, and to me boring. She makes it look like just about every boy or man she was ever in the same county with abused, assaulted etc. etc. Starting when she was elementary school age.

And Trump seems to be the one she filled formal charges against. Maybe it is a creative retirement plan.

I can accurately predict who will lose the 2024 P**********l E******n today. You read it here first.

The ultimate loser in this e******n is all of us. Both of these guys are too old and carry too much baggage.

Neither party is reading the tea leaves that the majority of Americans want somebody new.

Personally, I find him repulsive. He has no redeeming qualities. He incites division to suit his own personal agenda and needs.

His repeated manipulative, unethical, unlawful and criminal behavior is inexcusable. Just look at all of the charges against him. They cannot all be fabrications. They indicate a serious problem.

He’s Machiavellian beyond the definition. He lacks compassion, kindness and maturity. He is not the person to represent the largest and most powerful country on the planet. He has made us the laughing stock of the free world.

He has begun the systematic unraveling of a patriarchal and benevolent superpower by giving permission to the uneducated, thoughtless population as being their panacea to solving their problems by blaming others for their lacking. He does not by encourage an assumption of personal responsibilities and provide a unifying voice demonstrating a path to proper and meaningful prosperity that we all once enjoyed. He is using fear as his motivator and convincing those who lack a moral compass, that his shortcut is easier, faster and will suit them just fine. He is a w***e s*********t pandering to the h**e of other r****ts in order to capture their v**es.

His strategy has happened before. Create a fictional common enemy to unify the thoughtless masses in need of something. Look at Europe of the 1920’s through 1945. That was a terrible time created by tRump’s mentor. The danger of history repeating itself is more real than ever with him spewing his hatred to garner v**es.

He cares not for anyone or anything, other than soothing his broken ego.

Bottom line, he’s a terrible character that represents real danger.

Look at J****** 6. tRump instigated it and loved every minute of it. He watched it on TV and felt loved and honored. Too bad it was based on telling people to lie, steel, disrespect, c***t and destroy. He started planting the seed with the gullible thoughtless when he knew he was going to lose. And then, the morons followed!!! Why? Because no one liked the real outcome and figured they could overturn the e******n because there were many who lost. Talk about good sportsmanship! WOW. The US runs the best and most secure e******ns in the planet. We have helped many nations install v****g systems to promote democracy. We lost the ability when one poor loser of a candidate said the e******n was s****n? Give me a break.

What would have said if he had won? The e******n was crooked? Please. Get a life, a grip and regain some integrity, sportsmanship and compassion to those who have become thoughtless poor losers.

tRump is a desperate man who actually needs to win the e******n to delay debt to society for his criminal behavior. It will eventually come back to him, however, we are ones paying for his puerile, corrupt and selfish behavior.

You can guess who I am not v****g for. Another e******n where I have to v**e for the the one who will do the least amount of damage. I do think Biden has done a good job however. I will v**e for him but wish that there were other options. But, our system does not attract great candidates. Anyone who is capable, evolved and mature enough, knows better and makes far more money in the privacy of the private sector, than in the ego driven political sector. I know it’s not all about money. But it sure motivates a lot of people.
