Vance is sharp. But, I don’t think he has the personality that will attract independent voters, or keep Trump’s MAGA group cohesive. He’s somewhat polished/robotic. I just don’t see him being able to carry forward. So, I’m somewhat concerned that Trump is thinking—as he usually does—transactionally (short-term for himself) instead of longer term. To me, there is no more fiscal conservative brand of free market people. MAGA has destroyed them. The Freedom Caucus is the closest. But, now they’re associated with MAGA, which has proven to be not fiscally conservative at all. Reagan was Reagan. Then, there was Trump. Their personalities were what made them. I don’t see anyone on the GOP side that has that as of right now. For whatever reason, many people seem to be more into personality than policy nowadays. I COULD—stress COULD—see a somewhat repeat of Reagan/Bush 1 POTUS succession with Trump/Vance. Vance definitely fits more into the Bush 1 mold to me. But, Trump seems to be doing all he can to blow that scenario up. Just my thoughts as a true independent.

Sit back and relax - There is lots of investigations gong on at the moment......

That was, as most things are, taken out of context. The white house later reported he was talking about reducing fraud and shifting responsibilities to the states, not ending Medicare or Medicaid. I have no problem with that - all the fraud being discovered in Child care and the 14 billion in healthcare fraud....something needs to be done.

Those wrongly persecuted for Jan 6 deserve to be compensated! This was strictly the Dumocrats weaponizing government!

In Trumps administration, there’s no money for child care or health care. However, there is money to pay for Jan. 6 insurrectionists. Trump says it's not possible for the US to pay for medicare and day care: “Were fighting wars.” Justice Department set up 1.8 Billion fund.

Conservatively, I think Trump will keep House or Senate - worst case, Democrats gets both with a very small majority that keeps them in check to not do something stupid. Trump lames out last 2 years and Democrats push to impeach but will not have enough votes to do anything..... So, 2028 - what do you think about Vance?

Where is the West Sabine coach headed to?

Swamp creature! He's gone!

Psycho! Paxton!!

Government overreach and socialism are my two biggest fears. Trump is definitely against socialism. So, I appreciate that. (Although, I'm definitely against his involving us in Intel--which is straight up socialism--even if it can be kind of construed as national security if stretched.) But, he's not good on government overreach, and he just campaigned and helped eliminate one of the staunchest fighters for limited government and free markets. Same token, Gallrein is a very pro 2nd Amendment defender--which definitely fits my personal view--is a veteran, and a farmer. Those are 3 things we have in common. I don't know his fiscal ideas, and that's usually one of my main criteria. So, we'll see. Maybe, he can help put more focus on the farmers. They're under some stress right now.

Totally agree with fighting socialism. I am eternally thankful to Trump for defeating Hillary and Kamala just for that single fact. Here is another thing that seriously needs addressing.

Call me anything you want, just don’t call me late for supper. Lol

Exactly. Here's my go to when I want to change it up. Big Daddy's Beans (Yes, they call me "Big Daddy") Pound of pinto beans, anasazi beans (learned about these from @tvc184) or red beans. Pound of ground beef Pound of jalapeno sausage (I use my deer jalapeno cheese sausage) Large onion - yellow or white Can of rotel Pinto bean seasoning, tony's or some other season salt Garlic powder Black pepper 3 bay leaves Cook it like you cook beans normally - on the stove, instant pot, crock pot etc. Serve with some rice, cornbread and real butter. I have several bean variations, but this one is real good with the jalapeno sausage...

I think the guy had a pretty good take for a MAGA supporter. I just wonder what will be left when Trump is not the face, and someone is needed to fight the socialists. Right now, he’s doing it with populism. Not sure someone else can carry that load the same way. The socialists are coming. And they’re coming hard and fast.

Just something that popped up. I thought it was interesting in that politics is a dirty business. People sling dirt all the time. Trump can’t do that. People change their views, even parties, Trump can’t change his mind. All in all, it’s just a “get Trump” argument. Trump did something people don’t like…..shocker. Massie was not fired by Trump, he was voted out by Kentuckians.

Didn't know there was any other way!

Not try to spin nothing, Trump is out right lying in this clip and he knows it. What else does he lie about. I know it’s unimaginable that Trump would lie. lol I am sure the $30 million from outside interest that was poured into his opponent campaign had nothing to do with it either. Lol The most expensive house seat in American history was bought last night by outside interests. Congratulations! Heck even the Secretary of War Pete Hegspeth took a day off in the middle of a War with Iran to campaign for ole Ed. I have said before and I’ll say it again Special Interest, Lobbyists and the CIA run this country.

He was on the team but barely played.

Spin it how you want, but apparently his constituents though differently by a large margin. He didn't lose by a little, he got his butt kicked by almost 10 points....

I don’t know that he’s pathetic. But, he definitely lied about Massie because of a personal vendetta. Again, he personally endorsed Massie in 2022. So, it’s a big, fat lie to say Massie was the worst ever. Unless he previously endorsed the worst ever. Yes. Some of the lies about the SAVE Act among other things were pretty blatant lies. Certain people also repeated them on this site, and spread them around without fact-checking.

Congrats to him. Happens with success. Maybe he’ll have the success Chad Taylor from La Porte had when he went to Hardin last year.

Per Matt Stepp: Kingsville names Port Arthur Memorial OC Marcus Graham as their next AD/HFC #txhsfb @dctf

Basically, he’s almost quoting Machiavelli. The end justifies the means.
