Yes because he acts like a child.

How can you say that about a child? Do you hate children?

[Jolly]

And y'all are the most sophisticated critters in the world?

Bullshit.

Right now, I'd rather have a man who holds a grudge in the Oval Office, than a man who has to be told everyday where the Oval Office is.

But Mr. Biden does behave. If he doesn't, they won't let him have his daily pudding treat.

You really ought to have much higher expectations for the occupants of the Oval Office.

I have high expectations for you. You've just never met them.

"Liz Cheney is a bitter, horrible human being. I watched her yesterday and realized how bad she is for the Republican Party," Trump said. "She has no personality or anything good having to do with politics or our Country. She is a talking point for Democrats, whether that means the Border, the gas lines, inflation, or destroying our economy. She is a warmonger whose family stupidly pushed us into the never-ending Middle East Disaster, draining our wealth and depleting our Great Military, the worst decision in our Country's history. I look forward to soon watching her as a Paid Contributor on CNN or MSDNC!"

Trump does hold a grudge...

One of his problems is that he takes everything personally. Everything is always about him.

Maybe he's got TDS.

" . . . faction of Republican Party gains ascendance in bloody purge."

Say what, now?

I think it's possible that might be a spoof feed.

Yeah, that whole Twitter account is parody.

I'll wait for independent verification of this.

Parody is a protected use case for keeping a twitter account open, because we know how smart Americans are. Like who would believe it was real, like taking aquarium cleaner as protection from Covid.

I get that you want the leadership to reflect the prevailing view, and the prevailing view is pro-Trump.

But, the way she's been derided signals that you're either on the Trump train or not a Republican.

Off-putting to someone like me who would probably be more on the R side, but not a Trump fan.

Strictly speaking, isn't that following more than leading?

I know, I know.

Then vote for higher taxes, more socialism, porous borders, inflation and less employment.

The Dems will love you...

Well, Cheney is more conservative than Trump - but they didn't want her for loyalty / cultural reasons. It wasn't about policy with Cheney.

I can't vote anyways - and strangely no dem has reached out to me yet to canvas my vote.

[Mik]

Look, it's very simple. Trump's policies are very easy to get behind. The GOP elected could not care less about the man himself. They don't want him back. But they damn sure want his supporters. She jeopardized that. And frankly Trump has a valid point that her dad was instrumental in dragging us into endless and largely fruitless wars.

Where I'd disagree with you is that they're "trump policies"

Agreed that there's some weird lingering loyalty to a man and not ideas.

I get the politics of it - but I can still disagree.

[Mik]

Not sure what you disagree with. If they are not Trump’s policies then who started implementing them? There is no way Trump will be the 2024 nominee, but there is also no profit in criticizing him. Not right now.

No, they're Trump policies. They differ from 43 and certainly 41. They are more akin to 40, which saw a surge of blue collar voters to the GOP.
