My feeling is that Trump would concentrate on stopping the flow at the border and limiting access to federal aid programs for those already here and allow state governments to determine how to deal with the ones they already have
I'm saying that his popularity may be eroding in the supposed heart of his electoral strength, arguably because he is losing sight of what his current voters want while courting votes elsewhere and that might not so play well at home
If it’s Trump, he will likely fail. He’s not the right guy for the job. He can’t work with congress. He couldn’t the first time around even when he had both houses. Id vote for him if there’s no one better. Just to stop the country sliding further for 4 more years. But I don’t expect permanent progress. We didn’t get it the first time. So if DeSantis turns out to be a schmuck, it’s Trump. But it’s also then hold the line instead of advancing it.
"Well, there’s a lot of ‘em. And some of them have all but promised to sit the election out if Trump isn’t nominated. I strongly suspect Trump will win the nomination if he’s not in jail. Well hell. Even if he is in jail."
I also think the Democrat nominee will win in the general election. Your logic suggests I should just throw my support behind who I think will win. If DeSantis turns out not to be a schmuck, I’d rather he won. And if that’s the case, I’ll vote for him. But I suspect Trump will win. Is that clearer?
I dunno. I guess I can only suspect it's that OSU education. I knew that Libertarian guy...don't remember his name...was not going to win in the Governor's primary against Holcomb. It was a long shot. I voted for the guy anyway. Why would I vote for someone I think is wrong for the country unless the only other choice is someone wronger?
I haven't been trying to convince you to vote for DeSantis. Even before when polls were looking more favorable for DeSantis. Why do you think that would change? I'm not interested in converting you. I'm NOT interested in teams or trains or whatever. You make stupid arguments like the above, I'll push back.
Oh! That's right. You don't like him
That explains everything!
I think you've touched on something here. Isn't it always said that the primary is the proper place to choose for change?
What was that you were saying about reading for comprehension and being anxious to get your digs in? Maybe you should try that reading comprehension thing on the first part of my post you quoted. If you pay attention you'll see I'm talking about the general
Sigh. I did not get the context wrong. After reading, I see where I said "vote" but I meant to say "support". There's nothing in my reply that does not respect the context of your post. But, you apparently got your own context wrong. You were talking about both the general and the primary. You said, "now". Which is retarded of course. I would not expect you to change your thinking this early in for any reason.
I see it just fine. On the old site it was a problem when reading it in the dialog when I quoted it, because the contrast wasn't very good. New site, no problem.
Who is DeWalker? Is he better than Trump too?
I'm saying all the jockeying and heated debates and actual voting for individual preferred choices should be decided in the primary and the general is the place for sucking it up and putting all that behind and coalescing around the party nominee against the opposition even though they may not be your preferred choice.
I don't agree with the "anybody but" ether, and I agree, the choice for who you want to run in the general election is decided in the primaries. But in the general election, people need to come together. I know a lot of people here are saying they want the knock-down drag out fight, but in my experience, that does not promote the coming together part in the general election.
When taking on a juvenile bully that is pretty much all you can expect to happen.
