But in fact, Trump was getting some seven or eight percent in early states. Which, as you say, with seventeen candidates in the race was enough to allow the MSM to trumpet loudly 24/7 that he was the front-runner.

    Here's February for Trump:

    Iowa: 24%
    NH: 35%
    SC: 33%
    NV: 46%

    I stand corrected. I guess I was remembering pre-Iowa polls, I'm not sure.

    It's interesting to note that he mostly got the red vote in blue states. If it had been up to actual Republican states, Cruz would have gotten the nomination.

In his corporate life, he also bought out successful companies, raided both their cash and the pension funds and then let them go bankrupt. All using federal reserve sponsored leveraged buyouts.
    Even if you are right and you may well be, Romney and McCain are still not as bad as bad as Trump.

    No one but Paul. Never Trump. NOBPNT!
    * See my visitor message area for caveats related to my posting history here.
    * Also, I have effectively retired from all social media including posting here and are basically opting out of anything to do with national politics or this country on federal or state level and rather focusing locally. I may stop by from time to time to discuss philosophy on a general level related to Libertarian schools of thought and application in the real world.

    Is there a succinct reason for holding that opinion? If nothing else, Trump's war against the media would be enough to favor him over those two (some of the worst examples the GOP has to offer), not to mention no new wars during Trump's term. The tax cut also saved me a few thousand dollars, contrary to propaganda.

    I'd be interested to see some evidence that the account with the handle "69360" belongs to two or more "folks". I also don't know if it's naivete or hubris that leads you to believe that someone could arrive at a different opinion than yours without believing in the credibility of "the media".

    A different opinion on what? Romney and McCain being better than Trump? Sorry. No.

    Neither ever conspired with Nancy Pelosi to suspend the Constitution, and neither ever succeeded in giving billions to Big Pharma to develop demonstrably dangerous mRNA pathogens, to the best of my knowledge. Furthermore, if the only good politian is a dead politician, McCain is clearly the best of the three--a line of thought no one ever learned from the MSM.

    So sorry, no what? No way to arrive at either of those conclusions without blind faith in the MSM? The MSM is willing to admit neither fact about Trump. Which is something they have in common not with 69360, but with you.

    What else did he do from a libertarian or even a conservative perspective?

    What a wasted Presidency.
    He got us out of the TPP and Paris Climate Accord for that time. He didn't start any new wars and yes, I am more than aware of what he was attempting to do in Venezuela. Flat out broke his promise of not trying to overthrow other govs and putting in a puppet. He got other countries to pay more for the POS international orgs we are in. He allowed our own oil companies to drill, etc.

    He was being investigated almost from the git-go. Not sure how you think he was going to perform miracles. And no, I'm not cutting him slack for the crap things that he did. But, you asked a question.

    I find him crude, morally corrupt and personally repulsive. He sunk our country to a new low, it's embarrasing. From a pure policy standpoint, sure a lot of what he did was ok.

    I hope not, I think we could do better, I think DeSantis would beat Biden. But if that is what happens, I suppose I would vote for him.

    Honestly, at the point we are at right now, all I care about are the policies. We are off the cliff and are just waiting to hit bottom. They have most everything in place to take us into full-fledged communism.

    The biggest problem with Trump, as I see it, is that he wouldn't know the Constitution if it hit him up side of the head. And since he doesn't, he has no foundational principles in place.

    Trump's biggest accomplishment may just be his looking into the US/Ukraine corruption. The FTX thing lays it bare... and the Dems impeached him for that! Because they were trying to cover their own asses!

    He may not have principles, but he has some instincts. He doesn't know when to listen to them, but he has them.

    The two are not only opposites, but their quotes are often opposites.

    Whereas God really did answer prayers, and Ronald Reagan was elected (by large margins, and really was a Christian, and the left was acting bad back then too), Satan answered Trump's election.

    Baptists shouldn't have kept so quiet about the divorces, he treated his country and party like he did his wives - disposable. Then the Epstein buddy pictures and the Melania lesbian porn. thumbs down all the way.

    The democrats were never really serious about impeaching Trump. They also made up really fake and frivolous charges that no one else would have agreed to. If they had impeached him on something real - like the covid abuses, others might have joined in, and he'd have been convicted. They never did that, because actually Trump was doing exactly what they wanted - including widdling down the senate the whole time.

    The best way to get rid of Trump before the primaries is social conservatives, and since its obvious he can't win but hopes to deny the republicans wins, that's the best time to do it. A bigger braggart, and total lacking of character discernment (and hiring ability) we've never seen before. That is coming from Trump not having any himself - totally incapably of seeing it and blind.

    Quality is the only thing worth fighting for. Also I've liked some of the things DeSantis has done recently, and I've liked reading some of the cases that the texas ag has filed (we badly need justice reform - something Trump not only didn't do, but never got charge of.). I'm sure there are many other good men out there, just not reported in the slimey news.

So, the only question is how we're aligning ourselves, individually and collectively, with the all-sufficient power of the Kingdom of God in Jesus...
    A lot of the fakeness and in the news lately seems to more than just concern trolling and promoting fear, fatalism, etc - it seems to be directed at discouragement to prayer and going to God. The one our foundational document was to, "the supreme judge of the world".

    A lot of the abhorrent laws being made are for the same reason - there's no rational good one. This is spiritual warfare, and from spiritual wickedness in high (spiritual) places. No organization is possible without addressing this. And its addressed by coming to Jesus Christ.

    For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12

    Won't do it. I'm glad I don't vote for mccain or romney and would do it again. If the country is going to burn, it's not going to do it with my help. voting for bad leaders isn't helping. If there is no good leaders, it doesn't help to also make sure there is no remnant apart from them by being eaten by them.

    Well, then, what on earth are you doing here?
    My two daughters and I were gang-raped by some of the Newcomers. It landed us in the hospital for 3 weeks as several bones were broken. I don't blame them, it was a sexual emergency and I wasn't about to go all white privilege and deny them the release they needed, especially after being stuck in a hotel for months. I see the Newcomers as family now. They are on our side and will help us stop Trump. It is a small price to pay. Anything but Trump.

    Guess so. Biden's not morally corrupt, personally repulsive or embarrassing at all.

    Seriously, though. I see why they're fixing the nominations of the very, very worst both parties have available. It convinces those who just can't grasp the fact that they're all figureheads a reason to be viscerally involved in these sham elections. But, Jesus, do they have to rub our noses in it so hard?
