Personally I couldn't care less what happens to Trump. In fact, I just want him to go away and criminal prosecution is probably the only way that happens. His personality is toxic to the party, so there has to be someone else in '24 to build on his policies. Trump is the gift that keeps on giving for the Dems and the MSM. With no Trump, they can laser focus on winning issues like, Abortion rights, gun control, CTR, racist Cops, transgender rights and wind mills.

Would you vote for a Trump DeSantis ticket in 2024?

That will never happen. DeSantis will be on top of the ticket or remain Governor of FL.

Speaking of Florida and presidential tickets, Gavin Newsome is apparently testing the waters, and is running adds in FL lecturing about how DeSantis is stripping Floridians of freedoms. Yes, really. Newsome lecturing on freedoms is the equivalent of Hitler lecturing on tolerance. Satire meet reality.

Ads paid by the Democratic Party through funding by political donations from the average Joe and corporations. Why do people keep giving these lobbyists parties money?

That would be a game day decision for me. The running mate would not necessarily be a part of that decision. If Trump could greatly tone down his ridiculous rhetoric.....maybe. However, it would be VASTLY entertaining to see the Leftist hacks in total meltdown 2.0!!

Again, I am hoping that something happens to prevent him from seeking the nomination. There is absolutely nothing appealing about the person, the man. He is for the most part repulsive with the charm of a pimple faced adolescent. He has to go away so Republicans can be themselves again and build on his policies.

That said, can you point to any posts here where you are not FIRMLY on team LIB?

The “msm” “ propaganda” nonsense is such a tired argument. Both sides do it to a ridiculous amount…let’s not act oblivious and think it’s all on one side.

Thanks 'ville,
Obviously true journalism has long been a rotting corpse, but Fox News and conservative talk radio vs the ENTIRE main stream media establishment AND Hollywood AND our pathetic BLM/LBGTQ sports infrastructure is an all encompassing advantage that sickens most people like me.

Wow, really, this is your one and only example that you can cite. You really went out on a limb here by not toting the liberal line.... versus the majority of all your other posts!

1) Hell, Larry Summers of the Obama admin said the same thing with regards to spending (which is really the main driver of inflation, but that's besides the point here).

2) "Basically the last 4-5 years Washington has effed up" - so you're blaming both Trump and Biden here.

How in the hell is this not agreeing with the libs???

---Covid

---War in Ukraine

---Keystone Pipeline being shut down

---Pumping stimulus money out the wazoo into the country at a time that was not needed----which drove consumer spending at a time when there were supply issues.

Basically the last 4-5 years Washington has effed up at every single turn, and that is thru both administrations.

I can understand a bit of that, and I appreciate your response. I really wish we could go back to a world where the news is just reported, there was some kind of compromise in Washington, and social media didn’t exist.
