Dear God, talk about delusional.

 

Move to where ? Any state that is not democrat blue - democrat states are going to be high tax - just look at the ridiculous laws coming in in California where you will be punished for selling your house !! LOL. You want to lose your money - go ahead move there, all the blue states are losing populace - surely that must give even the deluded a clue !

 

 

 

 

Are Red states cheaper for property and consumption tax too?

"Mr Trump's victory was a broad one as well. He won the young and old, men and women. He also won over the evangelical and hard-right conservative voters he had difficulty winning in 2016".

 

So they vote for the orange clown after all this....unbelievable:- He is a proven multiple liar, a narcissist, has cheated on his wives and once while one of them was in hospital giving birth, had sex with strippers and hookers and paid for the privilege, has defrauded banks and the everyday working American man, has been found guilty of stealing from a charity and sexually assaulting a woman in a department store............and the list goes on!

 

I guess the evangelical far right really don't give a toss about their religion. Religious beliefs, good grief! What a farce.

 

And this has to be "redneck speak".................“I truly believe that God has placed each and every one of us here at this moment, for this moment to save this country,” Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake told Trump supporters in Fort Dodge"

OK, if you say so.

 

I would have thought that this part was very relevant.

 

 

What would I know, I'm not American.

Who should feel uncomfortable apart from DeSantis supporters? These people already voted Trump in 2020 elections.

Haven't you heard that Trump won the 2016 election?

 

I couldnt care less who won the 2016 election

 

I asked you what happened in the evolutionary cycle that made this happen

 

Quote

• Donald Trump scored a landslide victory to kick off the Republican primary
• He lost the Iowa caucus in 2016 - but significantly reversed that result last night by winning over key voting blocs in the state, including white evangelicals, younger voters and women

 

Its only 8 years, I thought you might be able to put your finger on it.

You forget about the Christian indulgence! 😃.

Edit

Well, Evangelists just forget about the "repent" aspect! 😃

Polls showed Trump as the clear frontrunner for months - but the scale of his victory was still staggering

You don’t seem to understand, Democrats could not wish for a better Republican pick than Trump.

 

The election will not be decided by the extremists in MAGA for whom every Trump crime and Trump obscenity is cause to double down, it will be decided by swing voters.

What was not expected in these results? Everybody knows Trump will win the primaries by large. It's been anticipated in all polls. Everybody also knows (apart from MAGA fans) that the only way Biden can win the election, is if Trump is the other candidate. Haley is the most dangerous candidate for the Dems and she's only third. It's rather a good news for them.

Trump isn't well read. He lacks in eloquence, sharp wit, humour and charisma but worst of all he lacks class.

I would have to say that the Iowa populace have more active brain cells than BIden - Biden cannot find his way of a stage, he'll have to be led like a donkey to vote !

 

Cannot wait to see the excuse the democrats will make for him not debating Trump prior to the elections.

I would anticipate Biden is going to demolish Trump in debates, he has so much material to work with.

This is a clip of Biden responding to someone in his audience who had a fall, IMO he has his wits about him.

Given you only get his name spelled right 50% of the time, it doesn't say much about your own brain cells.

The born again evangelical hypocrites leading the way to a Trump dictatorship. How can anyone who claims to be a christian even consider voting for Trump? It beggars belief.

They'll probably juice him up again before assisting him onto the stage. Glowing like a cannister of Radon. They'll have to make his portaloo out of lead. 

 

This sheer scale of this win is just another example of how popular Trump is. Biden better start packing that suitcase, I hope he doesn't leave any of Hunter's dime bags in the white house.

I'm going to USA in a couple of months: anyone have suggestions as to where I might move all my money to that might weather the least damage if Trump becomes president.

They say "people get the governments they deserve"... but Trump? I think we've done a bit less genocide than the Nazis (at least in the last 50 years)... so how do we wind up with the most execrable wanna be human (maybe...)

 

It's gotten to the point where the entire campaign and holding the office itself is so degrading and so difficult, that noble people, quality people and people with a nanogram of integrity would have no interest in going anywhere near that office, and would have no interest in running for that office.

 

Only megalomaniacs seek that kind of position in this day and age.

I've talked to a few of them and they say he's the lesser of two evils or some other nonsense like I'm not voting for the man I'm voting for the issues, and he represents my issues more than the Democrats. It's a total compromise and it's a "sell your soul to back the issues" kind of deal but nonetheless that's the way they think. 

 

And of course the other issue is that the Democrats just made a huge mistake by supporting Biden for a second term, having Harris close to the presidency is a nightmare, she's a nightmare. And Joe is ancient.

The American public cannot win, period. Determining a country's future should not be the job of septuagenarians.

You are (unsurprisingly) conflating two things: Trump being popular with Republican voters and Trump being popular overall. 

All this proves is he has a lock on the Republican party (something we all knew) and will (legal issues aside), get the Repuublican nomination. This is of no surprise to anyone.

The test of course will be in November when the nation votes. Then we will see.

It only gets better ,onto New Hampshire, the Live free or die state.

Tons of red necks up there as the radical left would call them .

Trump’s base consisting of

anti establishment, anti DC, anti globalization',anti socialism,anti communism, anti Marxism , America First  Gop voters will carry the Republic toward another landslide victory, despite all of the reported political election interference .

Chris Christie was a successful governor? He ended up being almost universally loathed by New Jerseyans. As for Trump being a successful businessman, he destroyed his father's highly successful business and went on to bankrupt several other business. The thing that ultimately saved him was The Apprentice where he traded on the widely held but false belief that he was a great negotiator. As his multiple bankruptcies show, he massively overpaid for those businesses that went bankrupt.

As for Biden, he was successful as a Senator, wasn't he. With lots of important legislative accomplishments.

Actually I was thinking of DeSantis, Haley, and Ramaswamy. 

 

Biden was a nobody as a Senator.  A rusty weather vane who took no chances and was very careful to never make any hard decisions. As a younger man, he was glib and friendly, which took him a long way in the 80s and 90s as he served longer and longer.  He did nothing in the private sector but instead bellied up to the government trough as fast as he could after stumbling out of Law School. Getting picked as VP was supposed to be his "gold watch", after which he was ticketed to fade away into obscurity. Tragically, it didn't work out that way.

I certainly hope so. I still hold to the belief that most Americans are too smart for these loonies and their grifter.

 

Fact is though they were too smart in 2016 as well, where he lost the vote for the first time. He was Selected, not Elected by a ridiculous, not fit for purpose system that chooses the loser as the President.

 

That was the really fraudulent election. And not the first of its kind either.
