Hit em with the stone cold stunner 🥶

All jokes aside, I heard from a pretty reputable source (but not first hand) that the price for Trump’s endorsement in ‘24 was a $400k donation to Trump’s re-election campaign. It’s not that hard to sell with those kind of success rates. And Trump has the support of a lot of drones.

He said primaries, not midterms. Party heads historically don’t get in between their own members in primary contests. Don’t project disunity among the brethren. I think The Band took that round.

Requiring a passport? That is an unreasonable barrier to registration.

You are still wrong…. Research Bush’s endorsement of Arlen Specter. Trump did not invent this, he just does it better. If you are endorsed by Trump history has it you have a 94 - 96% of winning……

No, sir. You are mistaken again. I don’t remember Ted Kennedy ever being president, for example. [Hidden Content] Typically speaking, Presidents don’t weigh in on primary elections. Meaning, they don’t select this Republican over that Republican… but once the voters select their candidate, the President will often weigh in. My guess is that your 81 Obama endorsements were for the Democratic candidate over the Republican, not to the democratic candidate that Obama preferred over the other democratic candidates. [Hidden Content] No need to apologize. Let’s just call it a teachable moment for you.

As usual - wrong Party leaders have been doing it for decades….George H W Bush was publicly endorsed….Ted Kennedy endorsed….Obama. and Obama endorsed Newsom, Abrams…in one midterm cycle he endorsed 81 candidates…. Why do you make these untrue comments?

Lol

Yes

Did Paradise bring most of the team back that lost to Kountze last year ?

I’ll be voting for Paxton. Trump can pound sand.

Were you aware that: Trump said that his endorsement would be coming soon, and the candidate who didn’t get endorsed should drop out of the race immediately for the good of the party. Paxton came back and said “endorsement or not, I’m staying in-the voters should decide.” To which Trump responded “that’s not good… that makes me want to endorse the other guy.” Keep in mind that typically party leaders don’t make endorsements during the primary season. That’s a new Trump phenomena. Even locally, you can see the Orange County Republican Party endorsing candidates in the primary election. The party, with whom all candidates are required to file, and whose filings must be accepted by… is calling winners and losers in the primary based on loyalty to Trump. It’s insane.

No problem. Liberals love them all. People who hate the Administrative State have a different opinion. They all used the Administrative State to bypass the Constitution, and created agencies that basically do not report to the people. It's only grown since then to the point where I'm not sure anyone really knows how many government agencies actually exist. All we know is it's layers upon layers.

Just something I found.

Truman was one of--if not the worst--POTUS in U.S. history. He basically created the Administrative State. We owe our current massive bureaucracy and the inability to fire government employees to Truman. You can put FDR & Wilson on the list as the precursors. But, Truman expanded to the nth degree. All were progressive liberals who believed in big government.

As usual, he speaks without thinking much of the time.

Well he called it a war in his TruthSocial post yesterday for whatever thats worth.

I could care less who Trump endorses. Texans can decide who to vote for on their on.

There's actually some pretty big legal and humanitarian differences between calling something a conflict or operation vs calling it a war. Seems trivial. But, it's not. Also, the POTUS can't declare anything a war. Only Congress can do that. That's why I've been calling it a conflict.

Our once allies are turning to China for stability. [Hidden Content]

He keeps rumbling about 2020. He will not let up. Biden is imbedded in his brain rent free.

Harry S. Truman is generally considered the best U.S. president who was profoundly unpopular and unliked while in office. While often ranked in the top 10 by historians today, Truman left office in 1953 with some of the lowest approval ratings in history . Reddit +1 Here is a breakdown of why Truman, along with others, fits this description: 1. Harry S. Truman (President 1945–1953) Why he was unliked: Truman faced a challenging post-war economy, a stalemate in the Korean War (which many dubbed "Truman's war"), and corruption scandals within his administration. In February 1952, his Gallup poll approval rating fell to 22%, lower than Nixon's rating during Watergate. Why he is considered great: Historians now praise him for laying the foundations for winning the Cold War, implementing the Marshall Plan, and navigating the integration of the Armed Forces. VOA - Voice of America English News +3 2. Abraham Lincoln (President 1861–1865) Why he was unliked: Lincoln was arguably the most unpopular president at the time of his inauguration and throughout the Civil War. Northern newspapers often called him a "simple Susan" and a weakling, and many considered his early military decisions a failure. In February 1863, it was reported that he had no "personal loyalty" to him in Washington. Why he is considered great: He preserved the Union and abolished slavery, and his popularity only surged after his assassination. American Battlefield Trust +1 3. Jimmy Carter (President 1977–1981) Why he was unliked: Carter was viewed as incompetent during his term, particularly regarding the Iran Hostage Crisis, high inflation, and economic downturn. Why he is considered great: While his presidency was considered a failure by many at the time, his post-presidency humanitarian work has made him one of the most respected former presidents, turning him into a "good" historical figure. Reddit +1 4. Ulysses S. Grant (President 1869–1877) Why he was unliked: Although popular at first, Grant's presidency was marred by the Panic of 1873 (a massive economic downturn) and extensive corruption scandals. Why he is considered great: Modern historians have elevated Grant, recognizing his strong efforts to protect freed slaves, fight the Ku Klux Klan, and expand civil rights in the South.
