    If Trump wins the primaries, it's going to not only cost the POTUS election but any senate/house elections as well. Even if some miracle allowed Trump to take the potus seat, the House and Senate would have flipped, and we'd have 4 more years of impeachment hearings or anything other than getting done what needs to be. Trump is also a big government guy, and wasn't a big 2a supporter. DeSantis, would also likely have a difficult time. While he's done great, the media has shown him as an ultra-right wing type. If we're going to get a chance in 2024, we need someone who comes off as right of center, not far right. At least, that's my two cents.

    The only thing I know about politics is I could never stand any of it. Money changes a man, and a lot of money will own a man/woman.
    Maybe Biden will not run, but will endorse Harris, who has been laying kind of low but getting around enough to get her name on people's mind. Still controlled by the same money and we all know she can be bought. IE: Trump will stand less of a chance and all will support the first woman president.
    Just a thought running through a man's mind??

    What do conservatives need to do?

    Go back to conservative foundational principles. Limited government, period. Limited taxation. Limited government overreach.The Constitution governs all decisions. For decades democrats and republicans alike have been united in implementing, growing, and perpetuating big government. Let's not do that.

    I can say this for sure. If we don't get Trump back it will send the message that all the dirty stuff they've done of these past years is viable and ok. Then the next time we have an election they'll crank it up a few more notches, rinse and repeat. By putting anyone else up on the ticket it signals a defeat for the conservatives and a win for the left.
    I'm not sure what election people keep referring to as being won last time. The election I saw was similar to a 3rd world banana republic regime change, complete with locking people out, even poster boards on glass windows etc. I ain't buying it. Sorry.
    I don't think Trump is perfect by no means. While I like his demeanor and how he says what he thinks, so we know how he feels and there's no mystery about the man... I also wish he'd quit acting like a kid on some matters too tho and know when to STFU. But... I too an guilty of that. So there's that lol. There'd also the bump stock crap he pulled. I blame the NRA more on that tho as they told him to do it. He's not a gun person and just did what he thought needed done to sooth the situation at the time. He needs to make it clear and come out and say that was a mistake for sure, and promise to fix it. The legal way, or undo it altogether. But I digress.
    People kind of need to settle down and think about this for a second tho. If we play our cards right we can have BOTH. But... if we inject DeSantis before Trump, we won't have a 12 year hope. Just an 8 year hope as Trump will be too old too after DeSantis is done. We also don't have the time for a new president and a learning curve. We need someone in there fast to immediately get to cracking ASAP! So experience will be key for that. It could take literally months before a new guy even gets a feel for how it all works. It will likely be thoer 2nd term before any improvements if any are made. Anyways, I think many realize they messed up that did vote for Biden. So there's hope.
    It's very hard to swallow that people vote based on feelings, and not based on what's best for the country instead.... which should be paramount. I'd vote for someone I hated in a heartbeat if I knew it was best for the country and my grandkids futures. I think that is the key to this. They need to campaign and that simple fact alone. That alone should make everyone jump on board.. You'd think...
    Lastly, I'm not too sure about DeSantis yet anyways.. yet. As we're speak he's off doing some dumb stuff in Isreal and making words into crimes and calling it "hate speech". When he does things like that I don't like what I see. He also bended a knee and got on board with labeling Putin a war criminal. So that alone makes me worry that he'd play along and get a WW3 started. Trump has already made it clear he DGAF about all that nonsense and I think he'll not only get us out of that nightmare but also fix the damage done some hopefully.
    This time if Trump does win tho. He needs to not wimp out and actually clean house this time. Our country depends on it. He needs to fire entire agencies basically and rebuild them. We need so much done it's hard to even put into words here and not sound insane. But it's just that dam bad now folks.

    Oh man. I had some doosies typed out and deleted a few times now. If you only knew lol.

    This is why in the old days, everyone couldn't vote, till they earned it. It's just that simple I think

    I'm not overly optimistic, I'm afraid conservative thinking is on its way to being outlawed. The great reset has ushered in every imaginable, and many you can't, ways to control information, when AI gets going it will be used against us as well. I'm very disturbed for my grandchildren, but I know my son will take care of them by any means necessary. As for me, I have less life remaining than the great life I've already lived. Now comes the great conundrum; Do I stand up and fight for what's right, throwing myself on the sword, or worse spending the rest of my time as a political prisoner. Or accept that we'll have nothing and be happy???
    None are an easy fate...

    In 2020 the dems changed election laws (illegally), harvested ballots (illegally, yes even in states where there is a legal process to do this), counted the same boxes of votes over and over again (illegally), blocked partisan observers from observing the process (illegally), closed polling stations, sent Republicans home with bullshit excuses then brought out boxes of ballots and ran them through the system (illegally) and many, many more ways of perverting the system.

    There were hundreds of legally sworn testimonies attesting to these and many other facts that the courts WOULD NOT LOOK AT.

    Does anyone really believe that 81 million people, of their own volition, went to the polls and voted for joe biden? Does anyone really believe that many precincts (and states) had Trump way up, then closed poll counting for several hours, then came back with biden ahead, was legitimate? Does anyone really believe that joe biden received more votes in Black precincts then obama did? Can any thinking person with an IQ above the mid double digits look at this and not think something strange happened in the 2020 election?

    All this and many more “shenanigans” occurred in 2020 and NOTHING happened to the party that pulled this off. Instead, anyone who tried to shed light on the situation was mocked and called a “conspiracy theorist”. Does anyone think they won’t do the same and worse again, no matter who the Republican candidate is? Hint, the answer is of course they will, they would have to be stupid not too, and we know they are not stupid. Immoral? Yes. Evil? Yes. Scheming? Yes. Win at any cost? Yes. Stupid? NO!

    President Trump is the only person strong enough and pissed off enough to fight back against them and to (possibly and hopefully) not allow it to happen again. I have NO FAITH that the RNC or any other candidate will do anything to stop it, but Trump will do his best to crush these maggots.

    I like DeSantis, definitely the best Governor in the country, I voted for him in the primary and twice for Governor. I do expect him to be President someday. But for 2024 we need someone who can not only fight them to stop the steal, but to go in and immediately start the process of putting us back on track, instead of finding out where the bathrooms are in the West wing. If a second steal is prevented, Trump is the absolute best person to go in and from DAY ONE start turning the situation around. He is also, possibly and probably, the only person who will not allow them to get away with another 2020.

    I was listening to a guy on the radio yesterday. He was saying that something like 54% of voters can be swayed and that the vast majority of those voters don’t like Biden BUT they like Trump even less.
    It’s easy to not like Trump and the leftist media has done a good job of vilifying him.
    I actually know good people that voted for Biden simply because they didn’t like Trump’s personality. Stupid but it happens.
    I’m afraid if Trump is the Republican candidate, the result will be the same as last time, whether it’s by cheating or what.
    I would like to see a DeSantis/Scott ticket.
    If anyone thinks the left and media won't incessantly try to tear down DeSantis just as they have Trump, I got some "waterfront" property to sell ya' : )

    JUST ASK YOURSELF: WHY do the enemies of the American people HATE him so much? TO START, he threw a MONKEY-WRENCH into their long-planned war in Ukraine! THAT'S why they had to pull out all the "stops" in 2020!

    IN FACT, it's the leftist media... AND the DOJ, AND Bragg, AND Soros, AND (fill in the blank)... PUSHING to get people to abandon Trump BECAUSE he is most likely to win. IF they succeed, they'll make short work of DeSantis.

    I almost want DeSantis to get the nomination, then lose the election, just so I can say "SEE? TOLD YOU!" : )

    Regardless, if DeSantis doesn't get us open carry in a special session this year, I'll never vote for him again... I promised him that (as if he saw my e-mail : )

    This "permitless concealed-only carry" was a sick joke, which I also told him (I even called it "woke carry" : ), just as I pointed out how such a half-measure would hurt him on both sides of the aisle!

    I don't like him, never did, but i voted for him twice... we need an outsider to clean house... tired of lying politicians and political dynasties...
    BINGO and DITTO!

    (note that I didn't trust Rush Limbaugh, either, so that's NOT why I said "ditto" : )

    As I've said: "I wasn't voting for a drinking buddy!" : )
