I’ll say it out loud, I don’t like Trump.

I like his policies. I like his bravado to an extent. And at this point we desperately need him in Office…

But I honestly don’t see him being able to win. He is absolutely going to lose some of these cases he has going on. That will have a serious impact but his ability to be the president.

My question is, is it possible to get another Republican nominated at the convention that has a chance of actually winning?

At this point, I just don’t see how it’s possible for him to be elected and to be able to serve when he’s in jail?

At this point I think most voters are with the current administration or not. Whether it’s Trump or whoever.

Not liking Trump as a person is not uncommon or even unpopular. Go ahead.
I personally dislike a bunch of people who are excellent at their jobs. Yes, I too dislike Trump as a person.

Now politics. There is no one currently that I agree with more and no one who I think will fight harder to enact what AMERICANS need.

So I’m curious, what specifically do you dislike about Trump? I would sincerely like to know how do you find his bravado and attitude any different than any other powerful politician? Anything specific? I would sincerely like to know.

My understanding is that the RNC can do a brokered convention, where the delegates choose a different candidate.

The DNC may do this as well. The delegates and super delagates may just pick someone else altogether than Biden

I agree - but will he be able to service IF elected.

I’m a little more old-school. Come from the era of gentlemanly diplomacy Trump is obviously the biggest narcissist ever walked the face of earth. He’s also a bold face liar. He also does the best to embarrass himself, his family, and his wife and by extension us as Americans.

But I want his strong hand and totally believe in the policies he believes it. It’s not what he says. It’s how he says it I don’t like.

I think in the interest of having the conservative view representative in the presidents office. We need to desperately explore whatever this option is. It would be great if the Democrats did the same. That would definitely upset the Apple Cart a little bit.

I concur, I don’t particularly like Trump or his persona. The reality is that his policies are way better for our country and my family so I will without a doubt be voting for him.

The trials are being rushed through in a desperate attempt to thwart his reelection bid. That’s why there is an unprecedented rush to get these trials done before the election. My view is that these are partisan political persecution tactics being utilized to inflict irreparable harm to Trump’s candidacy. The polling has shown that many voters, particularly the independent voters, who matter most have stated that they would not vote for Trump if he was convicted of any crime. That’s the whole point of these trials.

But in reality Trump will never go to jail, even if he is convicted. He will prevail on appeals, and even if he doesn’t the only confinement he would be subjected to is house detention, the secret service would never allow it.

Brandon will be replaced by newscum….. he’s been groomed for the day.

I don't give a flying fuck what the Democrats do.

Maybe I wasn't clear?

IF Trump is legally not able to be out next president, who will replace him on the ballot, for the Republican party?

Pretty sure that's what Jim is asking too?

If what you are saying were to happen (it won’t) it would lead to an internal conflict that no one wants…. The answer is we have no electable alternative

Why won't it happen? What if he ends up in jail on a felony conviction?

Have you heard Biden speak the last 50 years? He couldn’t tell the truth if it was on the teleprompter….. his uncle got eaten by canibals, corn pop was a bad dude etc. give me a break.


Haha - I didn’t say that Trump was the only liar. Lol.

… I know this sounds weird… But we definitely do need Trump and his policies… If he goes to prison, I honestly think he would be able to run the business of the country from wherever he might be incarcerated… I’m sure there would be concessions made for his living situation if he were elected president…🤷🏽‍♀️

… Both parties the Democrats and the Republicans do actually need to run much younger candidates this go round… Is there anybody whose policies are similar to Trump’s in the Republican party that might be good candidate material???…

I don't think anyone knows for sure, but I don't see him losing any of these bogus cases. The worse they treat him the stronger he seems to get. He's winning all the swing states and Bidens numbers are in the toilet. The one thing that worries me is the lefts cheating, but the hopefully the right is way more aware this time vs last election. Not trying to be derogatory, but you can't get the truth from any of the network news outlets or their cable offshoots like MSNBC or CNN, they do their best to make it seem he has no chance, even though he's leading all the poles. Check out Newsmax, like I said nobody knows for sure, but he never even led any poles when he won.

I agree with everything you’ve said, except the part that he won’t lose any of those cases. He’s already lost in New York two cases that have sent him back dramatically from a financial point of view. However, those were civil cases. The ones he dealing with now are felony cases.

Like has already been stated he will never lose any of those cases on appeal, they have no legal basis, if he does this country is gone.

I've always found it interesting that people think Trump even has a chance the 2nd time around.
They pulled off the heist the 1st time . . . so the 2nd time would / will be easier. 🤷‍♂️
Sorry . . . seems pretty simple.

I don't like Trump. I Never did. Voted for him every time. I will vote for him if he's locked up. The media will take anything he says and spin it but sometimes he just hands it to them on a silver platter. The media will completely disregard any good that he has done. Foe example. Trump created a task force to pressure and sanction countries that criminalize homosexuality. Not a word from the media. Biden hung rainbow flags at the White House on Easter. Media all over it.

The latest contempt charges are a perfect example of his greatest flaw. Please just shut up and let your lawyers in court do the talking. He's driving away the moderates in droves. I fear he's going to lose to a senile, racist pedophile and his ridiculously stupid running mate.

His criminal cases are falling apart each day. All his cases will be appealed. Nothings a given yet. I get that you don't ,"Like" him, but, you have tp love his policies.

Is there such a thing as a politician that is not a narcissist, not a liar? Politics is nothing but ego and deception.

Trump could have gone on being a billionaire, living the good life and not worrying about all this shit. Instead, he threw himself on the hand grenade of politics to the detriment of his comfortable life.

People can say he just did it for selfish reasons, but why don’t those same people say that Barack Obama, Joe Biden, the Clintons and the Bush family and all the rest.

The problem with Republicans/conservatives is we all stand in a circular firing squad, taking pot shots at each other to our own detriment.

Trying to remember the quote from Ronald Reagan about not saying anything bad about other Republicans. Unfortunately, my brain has left the chat and I’m rambling..🙄

@sirbob my reply wasn’t meant as an attack, I understand where you’re coming from. I just don’t like to see it in print for the other side to use. 😊

What I find crazy is most republicans will sit out the election if they can’t vote for trump. That’s incredibly short sighted.

Even a RINO would be better than four more years of Brandon. Isn’t anyone (R) an improvement that could sub in for Trump?

Maybe Trump runs again four years from now once he’s cleared all his cases and appeals?

Or maybe he has his kids run?

Trump does not have to be replaced on the Republican ticket, even if he is convicted.
The Constitution states the only requirements to be the president are:
Must be at least 35 years old
Must be a be a natural-born citizen of the United States
Have been a resident of the United States for 14 years

Trump is eligible. The argument and basis of the trials is to try to show that he is unfit to serve.

To your point, just about any of the other R candidates on the R primary debate stage would have handily beat Biden/Harris in the General Election.

It wouldn't have even been a race.

I read an interesting article about this a while back. Years ago, this was normal for politicians. They could exaggerate and tell whoppers all they wanted. In small settings, meeting with people in restaurants, the Elks Club, donors' homes, etc, it was common to tell stories about your life to make you seem like a regular guy, a genuine person. Relatable. Telling stories, true or not, is how things were done. The change is the internet, where now everything you say is not only recorded but shared across the globe for people to dissect. Most politicians are more careful nowadays. He is so arrogant and obtuse that he just keeps going with it. The cannibal thing is absurd. No one on the left cares. To be fair, no one on the right cares that Trump confused Nikki Haley with Pelosi something like 6 times in the same speech. We overlook things we don't want to see.

Who would that be that stands even a remote chance of winning on the R ticket?

You have to be grown up and pragmatic about this. There is nobody perfect. You choose the lesser stinker. Hence El Trumpito

I think the goose is cooked and the election is rigged anyway so bend over and spread ur cheeks. LOL!

Rino/Democrat lites are the same thing with a different tie. Why support the hand that slaps you? Might as well let it fall apart under the libtards rule.

They have the country so screwed up that they would need to give brandon 100 million votes as Trump will out pace everyone. We will never know the real numbers from 2020, but the steal will have to be so obvious this time as all the dems policies have been abismal failures. Think of the future generations when you vote. Trump was the man before he got into politics and upset their apple cart. Now he is the demon spawn.

Regan won in a land slide because his vision was American’s vision.

Today those values have no meaning to 1/2 of Americans, which allows government to run unchecked. Support who you want, its the citizens mindset that has us going down.

IF trump couldn't run, hopefully it would be Vivek.

But TRUMP 2024!! I don't understand anyone near the "conservative aisle" that says they don't like him. People have gotten so soft. You need someone like Trump to try and put a dent into this mess that we are in. Unfortunately you need a leader who is coarse and shrewd, to be able to get the job done. Soft hands, and polished public speaking / vocabulary skills will not fix our problems.

The dems are trying to push thru legislation that stops all SS protection for anybody found guilty of a felony. Think about that for a second. They want Trump killed.

Logistically impossible to jail trump. The SS would just declare the area a no go zone for everybody. I guess you could at max do a house arrest.

All these lawsuits are a sham to stop the will of the people. They are desperate and will stop at nothing.

I like what Trump did and what he could do for the good old USA.
I dislike how Trump does some things (or is presented via MSM).

I can separate what he does from how he does it, but a large voting group can not.
So he has my vote.

This election will be brutal
1 - Biden = His decisions have impacted a large population group negatively, and folks will vote for the other candidate because life was better 4 years ago
2 - Trump = you will have people vote for the other candidate, just because they dislike how Trump is presented via corporate media

I wasn't really asking a question, as much as I was stating an Interesting fact! 🤣
Ya, I kinda knew that, didn’t intend to question your grasp of constitutional law. Weakness of the written word.

But??? I didn’t know that until a few weeks ago when I asked my sister “can a convicted felon REALLY become President?”
