    You know that there are many people that are conservative that can not stand Trump. A dead fish goes with the flow, a person with a brain goes against the flow sometimes.

    so they made a YUUUGE mistake, didnt they ....... I hope this time around, more 'dems' wise up and get away from their party and do the right thing or this country is F'd, even more so than it is now ... have I not said I wish Trump would just shut up at times.. yes I have ... however, he was the BEST POTUS since Reagan, on the other hand Biden and his dems have have had the worst first year EVER of a presidency .. we MUST take back congress, concentrate there first ...

    I agree but the last thing this country needs is another Trump term, he is not sustainable. We need a two term republican president.

    yes, I have even said that ... I'd like to see Desantis run as Potus, or at the least as the VP so he can run and take over after Trumps 4 yrs .... however, I dont think anyone has a chance against Trump right now ..... and yes, I'll vote for him again in the main election ..... IF Desantis runs against him, I'll go for Desantis knowing Trump will 'prolly win the nom. anyways .. Hell, I went for Cruz last time against Trump ..hopefully Trump learned from his mistakes and wont be as abrasive ... right now, there is no one even close to beating Trump .... Congress first, POTUS afterwards ....

    I agree. Trump got royally screwed in a whole lot of ways. The mainstream media and federal establishment working against him 24/7 as well as just bad luck with the coronavirus, but he also did a whole lot of self inflicted damage by sticking his foot in his mouth when he should’ve just shut up. Operations warp speed is pretty much the only thing about the coronavirus response that was a success yet he somehow managed to get himself associated with the anti-vax movement instead of than the fact that they managed to run a successful program that led to the development of multiple Coronavirus vaccines in record time. That’s particularly impressive considering that prior to 2020 most people in the scientific, pharmaceutical, and medical communities believed that it was impossible to even create a vaccine for any of the coronavirus family of viruses.

    Either way, despite the fact that I think he did a pretty good job in most aspects of his presidency, I still hope he doesn’t run again. I think that he just has too much baggage at this point to win the general election and even if he does manage to win it he will still be ineligible for a second term. If he does run and win the primary he would absolutely get my vote in the general election but I’d much rather have a candidate with less baggage running. Desantis is good but I really like Nikki Haley. I could be a little biased towards her though because I was living in SC during her reign as governor and thought she did a really stellar job at it. What is really like to see is a viable libertarian candidate run and win, but I don’t see that happening any time soon. Rand Paul is pretty much the only one with any real name recognition and he is more or less the lite version of a libertarian anyway. That plus the fact that he really needs to learn how to take a punch like a man instead of crying to the cops and hiring a lawyer to sue the guy who hit you.

    Especially when you consider that most world leaders are men and men are pretty much powerless when it comes to resisting the demands of a hot woman.

    I speak from experience

    Once you live thru your wife's menopause, not a lot about a woman impresses or scares you.
