Elder has decent conservative credentials and I actually like him.
Still I do think him running for CA governor during the CA recall fucked up the entire recall.
The CA GOP had a shot to atleast give Newsom a scare but once Elder joined the race, for some fucking reason Elder talked about him having the potential of replacing Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat with a conservative and that one statement spooked all of the soft Newsom disapprovers to eventually getting behind Newsom. That statement was a disaster and Elder was too earnest to avoid making that statement. He is sadly too nice.
Newsom ended up winning the recall by the same margin he won his first Gov election by. The recall ended up boosting Newsom's status.
I doubt Elder even makes the Presidential debate stage since from what I heard from local GOP members, the RNC this time will be instituting a polling requirement of something like atleast getting 5 percent to make the main debate stage.
My guess is that the only candidates who will poll well enough to even be on that main stage are Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott and maybe Mike Pence if he actually runs.
Larry Elder is not going to make the main debate cutoff if the cutoff is 5 percent. If the cutoff is like the 2016 cutoff of one percent he will get in.
Trump has openly backed and propped up Ronna Romney and Kevin McCarthy.
Much swamp draining such wow.
All you cultists do is make excuses for Trump's lies and grift.
You are a fucking retard if you believe and defend this Karl Rove/Bush slandering nonsense from a Trump shill.
Mark Simone would clean Trump's cock with his tongue. Nothing he says is reality.
Trump has returned to his lying New York Democrat roots.
Beyond shameful that this charlatan still has cultists on the right.
Woke AI is still terrifying though for different reasons.
The stupid thing will preach woke ideology and will be used as a weapon against us all and the left will get to pretend like it is is being objective.
You win the most braindead Trump cultist on this forum award. Congrats you have finally beat that weird DoritoPence clown.
You are equating him with Boris Johnson?
Log off the internet and go touch some grass tranny.
You are reaching levels of stupidity and deranged that should not be possible.
DeSantis personally likes Guinness beer and you make it seem like he is telling everyone to stop a boycott against Diageo?
What the fuck is this retarded attempt to make an equivalency argument here.
Trump is the guy who chooses to back Budlight, Disney and Pfizer over what the base wants out of pure spite for DeSantis and shameful greed for donor cash.
Trump is merely Trump first and he has successfully hidden it under the moniker of "America first".
I am sure we will always have mentally ill people like you blowing Trump constantly but for everyone else it is pretty obvious what Trump prioritizes above all else: himself and his personal interests.
Trump will never set foot again in the White House even if he wins the 2024 primary because he has ZERO shot of winning a general election after all the baggage he has accrued since 2020.
That is the cold hard reality clowns like you can't accept.
Maybe if you are lucky, Trump will start a beauty pageant for trannies and you can participate in it after Trump's guaranteed failed 2024 Presidential run.
You think he is going to run for Senate? You truly are mentally ill.
The issue is not about women's sports you fucking numpty.
It is about opposing subversive transgender ideology which denies biological reality.
If they can make you say that a man is a woman, then they can make you say anything. That is what this issue is about.
You are a clown who sees women in a sentence and you sperg out like the fucktard you are.
DeSantis is not the guy telling conservatives to stop a boycott. DeSantis is not the guy who appointed Pfizer board members to key appointments because they donated money to him.
That is your boy who does that.
"DeSantis won't win re-election"
What the fuck is this retarded nonsense?
He is term limited to two terms as governor and he already won his second term by a margin of 19 points.
Trans ideology is a key issue for the GOP base. The base doesn't support transgender ideology or woke companies that push that shit.
You are braindead if you are chiming in with "he was right".
You are an idiot who clearly didn't even read the article which explains WHY the Trumps made their decision. Hint: It was not over actual political views but cold hard donor money.
You constantly cry out against muh "TERFs".
I am personally against transgender ideology and also against all forms of feminism.
Just because I happen to agree with TERFS that trannies should stay the fuck out of women's sports doesn't mean I am allied with them or that I support them or that I think they are courageous. Jesse Kelly is the farthest thing away from a feminist and you think he is allied with them?
You always interpret things through your retarded filter of "women are evil and they must be punished. "
Getting pretty obvious that you are a tranny and you are just vehemently upset that they aren't allowing you to call yourself a "real woman".
You shut the fuck up you complete fucking lunatic.
Jesse Kelly is one of the best people we have on the right.
Of course a retard like you would have a problem with him.
You have missed my entire point: Trump has lost his poltical outsider status that he had in 2016. In 2016, Trump was just a businessman running against career politicians.
Since then Trump became President and took over a political party. He has handpicked many candidates in primaries and exerted much influence on the GOP.
Since then, Trump has become a GOP party boss. He saved Ronna McDaniel's job while DeSantis called for new leadership after her record of failure.
Trump cannot call himself an outsider when he controls a political party and demands elected politicians endorse him for 2024 or face his wrath.
Trump is a decrepit boss of the GOP party running against an young incumbent governor.
The dynamic has changed since 2016.
I think regardless of whether DeSantis is running or not, Trump's attacks on him are stupid and petty.
It is not what a frontrunner candidate would do. If Trump is guaranteed to be the nominee, he should be chilling not vomiting screeds against DeSantis on Truth social.
I will never buy into your clowns idea of muh Trump's 4d chess.
Trump is a wealthy narcissist who was able to takeover the GOP party from a weak and corrupt party establishment and he won 2016 by offering something new compared to HRC.
It is not 2016 anymore and Trump is no longer a political outsider. Trump has a long political record with actual large mistakes that can be criticized.
Trump is also now the establishment of the GOP party. He actually demands endorsements from GOP elected clowns.
This is not what an outsider does. This is what a decrepit and corrupt party boss does.
Trump wouldn't be spending all of his time on Truth social viciously attacking DeSantis constantly if DeSantis was not running.
It is pretty obvious that he is running.
I am so sick of you cultists calling any criticism of Trump and his shitty 2024 campaign as muh TDS.
If I had TDS why the fuck would I have voted for him twice?
My positive stance toward Trump changed into a negative stance towards him as the result of Trump making mistake after mistake since 2020.
I believe that the Trump 2024 campaign is dogshit on the issues that matter as well as having terrible campaign strategy based on the clowns he hired and who his surrogates are like Alex Bruesewitz and Roger Stone.
I understand that with all the baggage that Trump has accrued since 2020 that he is now definitely unelectable in a general election and thus I constantly criticize him, his campaign and why I also will openly continue to attack all of the cultists who demand that it must be Trump as the nominee in 2024.
Keep on walking if you don't like what I am posting.
Who are you to tell me to change what I post?
You are a retarded Trump cultist who thinks DeSantis won't even run.
No I got it from what Trump 2024 has been doing recently
Donald Jr. said he is okay with adults being trans and to stop boycotting Budlight over the Mulvaney tranny ad.
Donald Trump said Disney should move their themepark out of Florida and that Ron should not be attacking them.
The tranny Bruce Jenner was spotted recently at Mar a lago meeting with Trump 2024 idiots.
Grenell accuses a conservative of homophobia for merely questioning trans ideology.
Trump 2024 is a rotten campaign that has adopted a position to the left of the base.
Trump 2024 is seriously going to market itself as the campaign for "gay conservatives" and all those on the right who want to protect transgender ideology.
This degenerate campaign needs to be crushed mercilessly in the primaries.
If this shit is what is going to nominated as the conservative option against the Dems, just close the GOP down. What the hell are we conserving with this degeneracy?
After seeing the insane lies you and your fellow Trump 2024 cultists Laura Loomer and Alex Bruesewitz spew about Gov DeSantis, Donald Trump reminds me of a fatter Jim Jones.
You are a mentally deranged tranny who hates women and also happens to be a rabid Trump cultist.
Expecting sanity from you is not happening.
You ignored all of the actual points I was making and you are crying "muh name calling?" This is too ironic.
Why aren't you bringing this exact argument up against your idol Donald Trump who is the man who has engaged the most in petty name calling in all of modern politics.
Trumpers seem to love name calling when Trump does it to everyone.
It only bothers you when Trump cultists get rightfully called a cultist?
Wow
I want a fighting chance against the left and all of the retards pushing OnlyTrump for 2024 are standing in the way of that.
Trump has zero chance of ever winning a future general election after all the baggage he has accrued since 2020.
Cultist retards refuse to accept this and they demand that we keep nominating him over and over again.
If Trump becomes the nominee in 2024 and he obviously loses the general again, these cultist retards will prop him up again in 2028 if we are so unlucky that he is still alive by then.
These idiots care about Trump way more than the country.
I hate Trump cultists because they worship this narcissistic orange piece of shit and think that he is entitled to another term.
I myself am a two time Trump voter, I merely want to purge only the braindead OnlyTrump cultists who are a small portion of previous Trump voters.
If you prefer Trump for 2024 but are open to supporting whoever becomes the nominee, no problem. If you will only accept Trump as the nominee and if he doesn't become the nominee, you stay home or vote Dem, you need to be purged.
There is a difference between being a Trump supporter and a Trump cultist.
My hatred is reserved for Trump cultists only.
I am so sick and tired of you Trump cultists always making excuses for that narcissistic braindead orange piece of shit and constantly gaslighting and lying about everything in order to prop Trump up again.
At this point I want nothing more than to purge all Trump cultists out of the right.
If I want any hope of effective opposition to the left, it is clear that you braindead cultists need to be crushed into submission or driven out.
Yep I also would love to see Tim Scott and Nikki Haley both get blasted for their support of BLM.
Nikki Haley was dumb enough to run for President and somehow still not delete her stupid virtue signalling tweet signifying support for Bubba Wallace during the noose hoax.
Tim Scott is cringe and supports BLM but he is nowhere near as malicious or as much of a neocon as Nikki.
Haley needs to be humiliated so much that she starts to regret even running for POTUS in the first place.
