You’re right, there’s no cake walks for Republicans, it’s a silly argument that folks know they’ll never have to back up.
John McCain was the moderate darling, until he ran for President.
Mitt Romney was the moderate darling, until he ran for President.
The dopes that would consider voting biden after the last three years aren’t going to wise up just because there’s a “cake-walk” option available.

Very true, the democrats (and squishy moderates) are telling us how Trump has no chance of winning but are doing everything they can to knock him out so they can face…the cake-walk candidate?

You could write a book on the things our federal government has no knowledge of but still wants to govern them.
Agriculture, energy, education, environment, housing and development…just a short list but departments that should all be abolished, in a perfect world anyway.

Actually, what he said is that 70% of Haley's voters weren't registered as Republicans. How many were democrats wanting(?) Haley to get nominated?  I dunno.  How many were Republican leaning moderates who don't feel strongly enough to commit solely to republicanism?  Probably most.  That's the point that no one wants to understand... Trump can't win with MAGA voters or registered republicans alone.  He NEEDS those moderates and even some crossover libs/dems to win.... and he spurns them.  
 
In Texas, you can vote in any primary you wish... you just can't vote in both.  Why should anybody be excluded from voting in the primary of their choosing?  Oh, wait... I forgot that y'all are all from the camp that doesn't believe everybody should be allowed to vote.   As a fair-minded conservative by nature, this was one of the hardest facts to deal with.  A large part of the Republican base does, in fact, believe that some people shouldn't be allowed to vote.  

I don't know why people are so economically illiterate. Most are absolutely unaware how economic cycles work.
For an illustration, lets say the USA elects a very pro buisness President that wants prosperity for the nation. He fast track approves drilling, pipelines, and export terminals. So when does it positivly affect the economy? Years later! Permitting takes time, as does engineering, land acquisition, and construction. The payoff only comes 5+ years later when the oil actually flows and goes to market. So lets say in year 4 of those 5 years, another President is "elected" that hates the American industry and wants to kill it off. He does everything he can to restrict and outlaw the industry. However, the product is already flowing and profits are now rolling in. Who gets credit? The Pro buisness Prez that supported it, or the one who hates it and wants to kill it but happens to be in office when the profits come in? Economic cycles and effects are by nature delayed. If you want to see how well an adminstration does, look at the economy 5 years later. 
Thank you Trump for the stock market today.      
 
   

Being energy independent was pretty cool also.

Trump even made Pelosi richer with her insider info but she would die before admitting it. Trump made me comfortable. 

LOL! They want to talk about Trumps SUB 2% inflation, lack of Fentanal deaths and the secure border we had then.
 

I early voted for Haley in the primary.  I think she bows out after 3/5/2024 unless she does unimaginably well.  
 
I'll probably just refrain from voting for President if Trump is the Republican nominee... and I'm 99% sure that he will be.  And whoever gets "lucky" and gets selected as Trump's VP pick will get eviscerated (aka Pence) by Trump eventually, just like everybody else who's ever worked for him.   It's like this- All of the liberals/democrats hate him and will never vote for him.  The majority of Independents/Moderates are also so turned off by his actions that they will either vote for someone else or just stay home.  Somewhere near 40% of Republicans/Conservatives are like me.... they just aren't going to vote for Trump.  As easily as I can say that Haley can't win the primary, I can just as easily say that Trump can't win in the general.  
The question is this... who is more ignorant?  The people who vote for the Democrat (presumably Biden) or the people who nominate someone who can't beat Biden?  
I'll put it like this... you have the most powerful person in the Texas House representing SETX... Dade Phelan.  I think there's a very good possibility that he loses to Covey, in large part due to the endorsement of Trump.  On here, I see people who are like "yeah, he's a RINO... he needs to go.  Did you see where Trump endorsed him?"  At the end of the day you're just shooting yourself in the foot because you're going from having the top dawg in the House (the Speaker himself) representing you... and you give that away because he's not MAGA enough for you.  It's a huge loss for the locals, but at least MAGA gets a win, right?  It's the reason that San Francisco kept sending Pelosi back to Washington.  Was she perfect?  Heck, no-far from it.  Was she the most powerful person in the House?  Yes.... case closed... you don't fire that person.  Or at least you shouldn't.  But the Left, while I disagree with them, are proving again that they are politically superior to the Right. 

Exactly right, at the end of the day, you’re responsible for your vote. Can’t blame your bad decision on anyone else.

policies wouldn’t be any different under him.  So now you have answered in which I assumed 
it like battered woman syndrome
 
I did see that I put “people” so fair enough but givin the state of the country and even more so since midterms do you think the country still vote the same way only because it’s TRUMP.  To me I look at that as a voter problem.  

Another epic beat down coming with only yourselves to blame! 

He borrowed money from institutions that were happy to lend it to him and paid them all back.  It’s a shame we want to make a criminal of him and allow the deadbeats that stole money from the American taxpayers to pay off their college debt with no consequences.

Fake news!!  Trumps attorney, Alina Habba, is on record, I watched her say it, that the judge WOULD NOT ALLOW this to be tried by a jury.  She said they did not have an option!  This falls in line with what this judge said in, I think it was 2015, that jury's, and I'm paraphrasing, should not be allowed to make decisions.  That the judge knows more and should be the one making the final decision.  It's my understanding that in order to be able to do this he had to use residential fraud.  Well, any sane person knows Trump's situation is commercial.  
And I'll ask you again:  Who was it that filed a suit against Trump claiming fraud?  No one!  The big bank that Trump dealt with testified they were good customers.  Paid loans back on time.   And who would this money he's supposed to pay go to if no one claimed they were hurt?  It's like filing murder charges against someone when there is not a body!!

From the article:
This past week Judge Arthur Engoron of New York State Supreme Court, the lowest level of courts of general jurisdiction, levied a mammoth fine of some $370 million, including interest, against Donald Trump for purported fraud under a New York statute.  
The term fraud is used loosely since no one was defrauded, an element of a cause of action under common law fraud, and no one was harmed, also an element, and there was no proof of reliance, another element. This is fraud "in the air," as the saying goes: no harm by no one against no one for no loss by anyone.  
No one testified that they lost a penny from the purported fraud, or that they would not have wanted to deal with Trump as a customer. No one came forward to complain, except Attorney General Letitia James. But more about this modern-day Torquemada later in this column.

1) Was he found guilty from a jury of his peers?  
2) Who actually accused Trump of ripping them off?  In other words — who did he hurt?  
3) This money he was told to pay — who gets this money?
