A bad day for Trump
-
As I have say previously, the list of very close President Trump aides/ministers/chiefs of staff, etc who have come out and spoken not complimentary towards him is quite high.
If it were just one minor person, okay, I guess you could call it a "disgruntled employee". But, when it is not just one person, it is multiple, and it is not people on the outer circle, but people very close to the President, who have a lot of experience, a lot of long term positive service, it has the ring of truth.
Anytime anyone says something against President Trump, President Trump and his followers have a card which they can choose one of the following:
A. That person was bad to begin with. President Trumps only hired them as he felt sorry for them
B. They never were a Republican.
C. They are not a true American
D. They are liar and only trying to make money off of President Trump
E. They hated President Trump from the beginning
F. They spoke against President Trump and refused to kiss his shoe. Therefore, they are automatically wrong.
etc.I thought President Trump was incorrect when he said that he could shoot a person on New York city, and his followers would not care. Now, I think he is correct.
I am astounded that there is still a large group of people who think that President Trump is the best person to lead the US.
Is everything in the Jan 6 commission 100% accurate? Probably not. But I believe that the amount of truth is a lot closer to 100% than it is to 50%.

It's all how you frame the narrative.
On Friday, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), a member of the House select committee, declared that former Trump White House counsel Pat Cipollone”did not contradict” the testimony of previous witnesses like Cassidy Hutchinson. However, the New York Times is reporting that he was not asked about statements that the Committee knew he would contradict.

God, I hope not. We have a very strong bench coming up of folks who would be better presidents.
I agree. I'd like to see him stay active but in the background. But it may just be that his bulldozer style is needed now more than ever.

How I see it, the far left are crazy. Then there's a pretty big middle, and a right who want someone to go in there and kick some ass.
What I'd love to see is a walk softly, big stick kind of conservative. Someone who can actually push back against all the madness but sounds reasonable and polite. Why we need that is to bring over more of the uncertain center and not alienate the losers. The far left not only needs to lose, but in a way that doesn't also humiliate the moderates who need the help of a conservative administration to clean house on their side.
We get another Trump in there and all it'll do is further crank up the culture wars. Others might love that but I sure as shit wouldn't. Give me a hardline civil conservative who shows us again how it's all supposed to work. Someone to provide a foil to the madness so the rest can see it for what it is. Not some asshole who's going to pour gas on everything.

Amen, brother.

I was going to get into all the details of what @Aqua-Letifer said.
No need. @Mik said it better.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Agreed. Well said. I don't know much about them besides the headlines, but it sounds like a Hogan or DeWine.

DeSantis.
Probably. He's very Trump-like without being like Trump, if you get my drift. I saw a poll saying that half of GOP members who were polled want Trump to not run. I think that number will only grow in the next year.

Yeah it seems DeSantis is positioning well for that nomination. He also (should?) help lock in Florida's electoral votes. DeSantis/Haley would be a solid ticket.

Desantis would be fascinating. Pop culture will expect a pledge of fealty against him along the lines of Never Trump. Lots of opportunists who recognized how easy it was to publicly hate Trump are going to lose some friends, or come to terms that they’ll never be able to publicly support a GOP president again.
