    I know many Christians who do just that (or decide that morality is no longer important). And what politician doesn't do that?


    Well... Trump was once a democrat, and hung around with Democrats all his life...


    Yeah, those things are terrible. How dare a doctor tell people to get vaccinated.


    Um...


    I got a better idea: Just get sane, qualified, competent people to run as Republicans. Democrats certainly aren't popular now.


    I don't like Dr. Oz (what's his real name?) one bit, but come'on...
    I believe you over reacted on everything just to argue. Muslims have pointed out its ok to lie, the Christian faith does not despite the people you know. Trump showed he was no friend to gun owners with his bump stock debacle, I know many who did not and will not vote for him again, also he showed how Liberal he really was taking the debt from $19 Trillion to $27 Trillion in 4 years, doubling what Obama did in 8 years.....so......Oz wasn't just saying get vax....he was demanding it, you missed that or refused to comprehend it. I stand by we need Americans in office, the R and D have been killing us.

    I can't say I saw this coming. TV's Dr. Oz is running to represent Pennsylvania as a Senator, aiming to earn the GOP nomination to replace outgoing Senator Pat Toomey.

    I lived in Monterey county near pebble beach in California. Clint Eastwood ended up as the mayor. He was republican and he didn’t do crap.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger also was the governor of California and he was a republican. They banned .50 BMG rifles under his rule.

    Celebrities who run as republicans are not republican. They are entertainers and people pleasers first.

    Only exception is trump.

    Before your time maybe, but Ronald Raegan, actor, as Governor banned the 2A and in 1969 made abortion legal killing one million babies the first year in effect.....But he was such a Great Talker he got pro-gun and pro-life people to vote for him, tuning a blind eye. They still regard Raegan as the greatest, even after doing nothing he promised about abortion, signed the Brady Bill and moved his psychic into the WH. As For Trump...lol....man put us farther in debt and faster than Obama did.

    I hate Ronald Reagan. I don’t really like trump much. I really hate the rest, both democrat and republican.

    A different perspective


    For the record, I don't much trust Oz, either; but if what is reported is correct I would make the same decision Trump did

    No more CoCRublicans

    More like a Wall Street RINO.

    Trump is making an endorsement of who is running and has a chance of winning. Looks very much as the lesser of two evil candidates.

    Sounds more pragmatic then ideologically pure.

    Meanwhile, McCormick, a former hedge fund manager at Bridgewater, “loved doing business with China.” Not only did he live there for more than 12 years, “Bridgewater has been managing Chinese state money since 1993, including Beijing’s sovereign wealth fund. In short, Bridgewater is in bed with the Chinese Communist Party.” As late as 2021, McCormick was helping augment China’s wealth.

    Ted Nugent and his wife posing with Oz and his wife endorsing and backing him for PA on his FB page. Lots of people going off on Uncle Ted including me. Almost everyone from PA telling Ted he is a idiot and whats wrong with him? Ted answered a few comments and then stopped. Ted says OZ stands for Freedom and common sense. ? Ted won't answer any questions regarding OZ support of Red Flag laws, nor of his comments everyone get a vaccine......Ted going down in flames on this one, no freedom and no common sense. Trump would only support him if he knows or thinks he can manipulate him. Neither are really freedom lovers imho.

    Ok, now answer this, Oz or McCormick? That is the real world. Yes, I do not care for the choices either but the position you espouse is a purity death wish. Keith gets it…

    I accepted Trump, despite his flaws and history, as a counter to the status quo establishment. Didn't vote for him in the primary, but did in the general. The choice between Hillary and anyone else was a no brainer to me.

    His performance in office was on-track, but he could have done so much more if he had more like-minded people around him. I think he was screwed when he took the establishment GOP's advice on who to appoint to executive positions.

    I would prefer to have a sterling candidate who believe what I do, and has no negative or contradictory history in their past. OK, I'm not waiting around for the 2nd coming of Christ.

    Oh wait, that would even eliminate myself from getting in the running. My views aren't always consistent, and have somewhat evolved over the decades. Nobody is perfect, nobody is pure. You look back to "patriotic heroes of the United States," you will see flaws, inconsistency, and self-interest. You will also see people who were forward thinking in setting up the system they did. They were of their time, and like all of us, human.

    Heck, one summer coming back from college, my dad and his friend were watching news or something talking about socialism. Made a comment that in theory socialism doesn't sound bad. I think my dad's friends said something like "OK Meathead." Did I get offended, nope, I wondered, hmmm, maybe I should research more, and see what he's objecting to.

    I have posted before that I believe when Trump was elected he did not plan to be the President he became, he became it because they made him become it. I believe his plan was to be a moderate and that his inherent narcissism expected the whole country to love and adore him. His conservatism was born in the forge of the bitterest of partisan politics and betrayal by those that claimed to support him.

    Leaders are not born, they are tempered in the forge of life. Trump was forged a conservative by his life and now can only lead conservatives as all the bridges to moderation are burned…


    Boy, this is one hot post with all the fire metaphors. LOL

    This post was a long way to go to get to a point I then failed to make, he initially surrounded himself with a team to be a moderate, not a team to go to war with, conservatives often criticize him for choosing the wrong teammates but the criticism should be he failed to understand he could not stop the war and chose a team for peace.

    You were doing OK until you got to the highlighted part, which is pure supposition without any evidence

    Trump haters need to be able to separate news and opinion just like the MSM should, otherwise it further compromises their already tenuous position
