...Trump...wants to reward them with a shiny new building in D.C. and give them more money instead of decentralizing them and gutting their funding? Sad to see he hasn't learned at all
Let's see...I bet...yup...philosoraptor still at it. I thought you claimed to be over your TDS?
No. Trump's not perfect. But he's the only (viable) candidate who doesn't want to return the Republican party to the terrible party of yesteryear.
Everyone else has all but said they want to move backward, and purge any positive influence Trump has had. Trump will, just like in his first term, make some mistakes, but overall be above average...while also pushing culture in a more positive direction. Trump's the guy, deal with it.
Trump is imperfect, but without his influence, there's very little difference between the Dems and the Republicans. I mean, fuck, Nikki Haley's in second place, last I checked. As bad as Biden is, if it were Biden v Haley, I'm voting third party or writing in.
Hating Trump is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Miss me with that nonsense.
According to current polling those are the likely scenarios.
You can choose Ron DeSantis or Vivek Ramaswamy both of whom have detailed plans to stop glowie abuse.
I like what Vivek has to say, but have never trusted him. I like some of what DeSantis has said and done, to his credit, but he's also done plenty to turn me off, too. It's all fucking words. Trump has said plenty against glowie abuse too. Will he do it? Will Ron? Vivek? It's all about who you trust more, as well as the cultural forces behind them.
Ron has said over and over he wants to push the Republican party in directions I strongly disagree with; I wasn't even just talking about Haley on that issue. None of the viable candidates, out side of Trump, seems to want any actually patriotic/nationalistic party.
I'd vote for Ron (if I thought it was fair why Trump wasn't in the race), I'd vote for Vivek. But they'd be somewhat reluctant votes, especially Ron. We could do worse, but they're not top tier choices.
Again, Trump 2024. Let's go. Far from perfect, but the only (again, viable) candidate who actually seems to even pay lip service to America first.
If you think Trump is the only viable candidate in the GOP primary then you clearly don't prioritize results and policy, you just want the show and entertainment that Trump provides.
I disagree with your assessment of the field and I think you are engaging in copium to still expect Trump to accomplish anything after his record of poor personnel selection.
We will get the GOP nominee we deserve.
If the GOP electorate still prefers Trump after he has shown that he has learned nothing from his prior mistakes then we deserve the ensuing negative consequences of that poor choice.

Nah, those are two completely separate things. Trump just happens to be the most showy, and also the most viable. Doesn't mean they're related, and that's pretty dang disingenuous. He's polling at like 50%-60%+.
Also, accusing me of not caring about results or policy, when everything I've been talking about is his effect on the party? Kinda silly. Yeah, Trump's hilarious. But that's not why I support him.

I expect him to accomplish more, or at the extreme low end at least accomplish less bad stuff than any other semi-viable candidate. Again, Vivek is okay in theory, if you take him at face value (which you should never do with a politician anyway), but he's also the least viable of the lot, sadly. Haley or DeSantis would both pull things in bad directions, at least in my own personal opinion. I don't hate on people who disagree, but I certainly have my own reasons beyond simple 'lol orange man funny.' I take you in good faith, you could at least do the same.
We will get the GOP nominee we deserve.
Depends on how it's handled. We might get the GOP nominee that is selected for us...which I suppose we'd deserve, if we put up with it. There's a lot of variables.

Trump 2024. USA USA USA.
No one asked you to support Nikki Haley.
Your only choice isn't Trump or Haley.
You can choose Ron DeSantis or Vivek Ramaswamy both of whom have detailed plans to stop glowie abuse.
Instead you blindly make excuses for the one guy you have an unhealthy attachment to.

They clearly do, by a massive margin.
