The democrats have to have something up their sleeve. No way they can expect Biden to win and serve another 4 years.
Newsom isn't nationally electable so they will get him in by grappling hook default. Biden is the perfect storm - perfect scenario for that to happen.

I’m actually dreading this election
Feels like a lose lose situation
No way I can vote for Biden
But also hate to vote for Trump
Wish I had another option
I look at it Biden is the Senior DNC guy that got Obama from Illinois politics into the National Scene.
No senior GOP politician did the same with a suitable Republican candidate.

This is on Romney and his collogues, they haven't done shit.
Romney himself ran reluctantly according to his kids.

Yes I can. I know a few that won’t vote if Trump is the R candidate. They won’t vote for the D candidate either though.

I foresee a lot of that. Normally, I'd say that there will be record low turnout just because of the general public's lack of passion for either candidate. Both are unlikeable by many people. However . . . with all of the ballot stuffing the dems participate in, it will probably be the most turnout ever. It was 81 million for Biden in 2020, and this time it will likely be 84 million.

I just think of all the people who I hear about that are disgusted with the job Biden is doing with immigration and the economy, particularly among the boomers, hispanics, and blacks. These folks can't bring themselves to vote for Trump so they may just sit it out.

I'm sure there are a lot of conservatives that feel similarly about Trump, particularly suburban women. Hate Biden and what his policies have done, but can't bring themselves to plug their noses and vote for the blowhard. Or, like me, are a bit disturbed that any republican who doesn't jump on the Trump train is persona non-grata with the party. It's no longer the Republican party, it's the party of Trump, set in stone when his daughter-in-law became co-chair of the RNC. In Montana, any candidates who did not wholly embrace Trump were uninvited to the primary candidate forum at the state legislature level. Things like this don't sit well with me. That is not the democratic way. That looks a lot like a dictatorship in the making. I'm not the only conservative that feels this way. So, others that feel like me may sit home, or leave the presidency spot blank on their ballot. I've never once missed an election of any kind since I was 19 years old. I'm not about to break my streak. I'm just saying I think it will be a low turnout because neither of the candidates excite the majority of the population in the middle. Just my opinion.

There are too many extremists on both sides....and that is the problem.

That cunt in a bunch of pictures holding trumps bloody decapitated head is one example from the left....all the the vagina hat wearing lunatics being other examples. The right has everyone flying flags that say "FUCK JOE BIDEN"....and calling everyone faggots. None of that is productive to any extent, except to further piss off and alienate the other side, which is exactly where the problem lies. The extremists cause focus to happen on certain things. I'm certain that there is a number of issues that we can all come together on, but those are all ignored because we're too busy focusing on the bullshit that the extremists bring up with a single goal of causing unrest and anger toward the other side.

Do I like Biden, no....he's a washed up fucktard
Do I like Trump, no....he's too arrogant and he puts ketchup on steak

Everyone needs to just calm the fuck down, make both of these people irrelevant, and elect someone who can act professional, sift through the bullshit, and make sensible calls. The far left and far right are completely off the rails at this point.


Then there's the other side.....a Mark Twain quote I believe...

"If voting mattered, they wouldn't let us do it".

We're along for whatever ride "they" want to take us on....we can get all fired up publically and makes asses out of ourselves, or we can quietly prepare for the next chapter I guess....


My personal opinion is that it's all just fucked and not gonna go anywhere near the direction I want it to ever again. All the old people I know that are paying attention are glad they're old and gonna die soon so it won't be their problem. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't envious to some extent. That being said...ignorance is bliss. Not sure if awareness will be worth while or if ignorance is the best path towards enjoying life.

Trump may have a chance of winning. But, will any Republican stand a chance of ever winning any future presidential election? Assume right now the number of Ds & Rs are about equal. But, the Dems are busy stacking the deck. The flood of millions of illegal immigrants. 99% of them will vote D whenever they are able to vote. That will likely be sooner rather than later. Now Biden may begin bringing in Palestinian refugees from Gaza. Another huge group of probable D voters. If Trump were to lose, the likelyhood of some dumb ass extreme right wing reaction may be pretty good. That won’t bode well for the Rs in the future. Was the 2020 election 100% legit? Probably not. Any reason the Dems would change their 2020 tactics? Probably not. As Sen Harry Reid once said after obviously lying about Mitt Romney, ‘It worked, didn’t it’? I’ve many Jewish friends. Throughout my life, nearly without fail, they’ve always voted Dem. I can’t even imagine how that could continue now.

If you don't back the candidate opposing the worst POTUS in our history, you are part of the problem. Look around at how fucked up the country is right now. Do you want to change direction? Are you going to let Biden and his handlers have four more years to completely destroy this country? I don't see how anyone with any sanity could not vote against Biden and his Marxist party. I also don't understand how women can be disgusted by Trump but love Bill Clinton. Bill was POTUS when he had sex with an intern in the Oval Office. But for some reason he is still popular among suburban women.

I see Clinton as the worst president ever
He pushed the limits of what was acceptable
He was the reason that allowed trump to get away with so much shit

Why do you hate Trump?
Because he said if you're a star Kamela Harris and Jill Stevenson will let you grab their pussies?

The reason is simply Women’s Health Care also known as Abortion.
Abortion is definitely a huge issue for a lot of women but that is separate from the "womanizer" issue that a lot of women use as an excuse for not liking Trump. Clinton was one of the biggest womanizers ever and that's while he was POTUS. He is a Democrat though, so he gets a pass.

Here’s a real unpopular opinion.

The President isn’t king. They are merely a check and balance on the real power in our government which is Congress. So why does everyone think voting for president is the end all, be all in this form of government?

If we took all the time, money and effort discussing presidential politics put instead into putting quality people into limited terms of Congress would anyone give a shit who the president is?

Fix that shit first and the president goes back to irrelevancy.

First yes, the last two are bought and paid for by big tech (Jordan aka Trey Gowdy) and big pharma ( Issa), but Rand could never get elected, he actually wants to address fiscal policy and this nation will have none of that.
Still no names!

100% this. The back door underhanded deals that get made off the Congressional floor are far worse than any topic you see in a presidential debate ever. This country has and will always be sold to the highest bidder.

Who needs congress when the president can just sign an executive order and bypass congress completely - Jao Biden, the master of the EO has substantially weakened this country by removing all the border protection controls that Trump had implemented with the single stroke of his pen.
On another note, I’d really like to see Jao’s current signature to compare it with his signature when he took office to see just how far his abilities have slipped.

Look at the leaders Argentina and El Salvador just elected!! Might take 6-10 more years of destruction and turning this country into a steaming pile of crap before most of the numb masses here pull their heads out of their asses, and actually elect someone for results, and not just whether they “like” the person or not.

You’re oversimplifying it. President can issue EOs but he has to be within statute and/or within the power granted him by the constitution. Further, Congress can override by passing legislation and if the president vetos that, congress can override the veto with a 2/3rds majority.

Problem is Congress is no longer a functional body, so one can see how an exasperated President resorts to EOs.

This president and administration flat out defy congress, along with the corrupt DOJ and all the other three letter agencies, and the mainstream media convinces the public it's all okay, or they're too apathetic to care. Our constitution has been shredded in the last 4 years.

Amazing how dumbed down the citizens of this country are it shows here with some of the posts.I'm not a republican but the
Democratic party is now a Marxist party that started with Obama.Anyone who votes for a president because they personally like him is beyond me. I support president Trump 100% on all the issues and his record and if not for China and the Globalists unleashing the Virus and the constant push by the media,RINO's and the Marxists pushing the Russian hoax for four years this country was running well.

What have they accomplished?

That's not what you asked. Try to stay on topic. I was answering your question "One would be nice, can't think of one other person about to unleash hell on the dems. And I'll bet anybody you name doesn't have a chance in the next ten years or is a bullshitter! America first doesn't belong to trump! Sleeping tiger has a eye open." Then you proceeded to pound your fist, "Give me a name! Give me a name! No one has given me a name yet!" So I did. So did Dave. Instead of arguing why you disagree, with facts, you brush the names aside, "Well, what have they accomplished?" What kind of question is that and how does it relate to your earlier question in which you demanded an answer like a spoiled child?

The men I listed have all asked the hard questions of Dems and called them to the mat. The problem is, Congress in general doesn't have the balls to actually arrest people (like Hillary Clinton, Fauci, Eric Holder, and John Brennan) for perjury or contempt of Congress even though they can. However, these three have proven to me that they will unleash hell on the Dems if they had the chance.

I think these three, especially Issa, could have a chance at winning the presidency at some point. Jordan would need some polishing. He's from Ohio, so that's a bonus. Issa was born and raised in Ohio. Eight out of 45 presidents have come from Ohio. That's almost 1/5. It carries a high electoral count. Issa was also in the military and came from a working-class family. He has an enormous amount of wealth to fund a campaign.

Ironically, "America First" originated with the nativist American Party in the 1850's.

Unfortunately, congress doesn't have the power to arrest, and with the cozy arrangement with the DOJ and the administration can hardly get their subpoenas answered, also the balance of power is a major factor.

Good point. They would have to have the support of the DOJ to have fines and potential jail time handed down.

Which is why we need Trump back in office. There is no other candidate willing to go through what he has, being non establishment/deep state and not for sale.
The current state of government is in the toilet.

As you point out, EO's from President's of both parties are constantly overturned by the courts for either being unconstitutional or for attempting to address something that legally belongs to the Legislative branch.

Had the outcome of the 20 election been different, a lot of those EO's would have been tossed out and he too would be struggling with many of the same issues and a dysfunctional Legislative branch. People forget that his asylum ban, ending DACA, Sanctuary City Crackdown, Family Separation policies as well as Remain in Mexico were struck down by the courts.

Without a functioning Congress, the President is very limited in what he can do long term.

That makes him just like the last president.

Unfit for that office.
