He's never been afraid to kick a man when he's alive either. It's who he is and I'll take the brutal honest truth over lies and political speak any day.

This ain't about the truth. This is about getting on Trump's bad side and his petty vendettas. His immaturity and pettiness are some of the bigger reasons we are stuck with Biden presidency, a Dem Senate, and a whole bunch of bad policies. And it's also part of why he shouldn't be a candidate in 2024. The man lacks self-discipline.

---

Agreed. Trump doesn't understand that you can't win with just Trump supporters. He drove away the muddled middle and now our country is bordering on disaster. I voted for him twice, but when it was clear that his ego was going to lose the two GA senate races he lost me forever.

And not a smidgen of election fraud, right?

A smidgen wouldn't overcome the tens of thousands he drove away. But we'll never know because he kept opening his mouth.

Right now independents disapprove of Biden's job performance by about a 2-1 margin.

In a general election today, a generic Republican defeats Biden by double digits.

Trump beats Biden by an amount within the margin of error.

Trump's lead is too small to be making unsolicited stupid remarks (even if they're true). This is how you lose independents' votes and the election.

This is why DeSantis is a much superior candidate. He gets all of those independent votes of those who disapprove Biden's job performance. Trump won't because of self-inflicted wounds like these dumb **** remarks about Powell.

---

I would happily vote for DeSantis. But "generic Republican" is how we ended up with losers like McCain and Romney that cared more about criticizing their own party than standing up for sane policies. And since we're on the subject, Colin Powell chose the same path.

---

I'm not advocating any generic Republican. That's simply how the question was phrased in the poll. The point
is any Republican other than Trump would easily defeat Biden but Trump would barely win. Trump is in no position to turn-off any potential supporters.

---

That's the line of thinking that gifted Obama a second term.

Too many weak R's who couldn't muster the support of Trump.

I'm all for a DeSantis. But this "Any R but Trump would do better" narrative is false.

True, but Trump has proven you can be an ******* and the great leader we need now to fight the marxists who are attempting to destroy our way of life.

All of you nancies only reserve your vitriol for Trump and none for the genteel rino's who have stuck their heads in the sand and their bare asses in the air while the dimtarded marxists run roughshod over law, liberty and our constitution. If you think being nice is going to defeat this evil you need to rethink your position.
Maybe if Trump had been supported by the so called right through two fake impeachments and the unending investigations he might not have felt the need to stand up for himself and his supreme court nominees. You all seem to have forgotten who the real enemy is even though they remind you daily.

WTF. He has been pulling this crap from day 1. It is who he is. He was not "pushed to make these statements" to defend himself. He has always been a dick.

I'm under no illusions who the true enemy is. My issue with Trump is that he makes it easy for the enemy to win. He provides soundbites and tweets that make Dems smile with glee. Easy messaging to LIVs. Which comprises 80% of voters.

Just bad politics and solidifying future losses.

If I ever get too high on humanity all I need to do is come to this board to be reminded what sinful people occupy this earth.

If I get too depressed by reading this board I cheer myself up by assuming most posters are trolls from Russia and China doing our enemy's work.

He's pointing out the RINO's and deep staters.

Listen closely.

If Trump wins the nomination everyone who recognizes where the dimtards are taking our country better become the best damn DJT supporters in history. Mean tweete are immensely desirable when compared to totalitarianism.
Personally I would like a President Rand Paul. I also realize that is probably not going to happen.
If Trump is the nominee I will support him with my time and my money.
And everyone better do nothing but support Trump, the left will bash him or any Republican candidate.

Being a jerk doesn't change my vote, but you're crazy if you think it doesn't change anyone's vote. There are a lot of very emotional people around the country. Many of them vote… and some of them are election workers. Bad judgment can affect my vote, and this looks like an unnecessary own goal which is among the reasons he would be no better than my third choice in the primary.

He got himself back in the news, and a lot of times that seems to be what he's really after. Assuming he actually said it, I'm not sure I've seen confirmation that he did.

Would it be nice if Trump pretended that they didn't hate each other? I guess so but that isn't the world we live in anymore. No doubt the day Trump dies the Left will spend weeks jumping up on top of his grave and insulting him. It's not like Trump got any credit for being nice to McCain's legacy when he died either.

---

He didn't have to pretend anything. He simply could have said nothing. Why is that so hard for him (and his cult of personality) to understand?

---

Then he wouldn't be Trump. Trump has never shied away from saying what he thinks, that's his greatest strength and weakness. He was also going to be asked about it considering his relationship with Powell and all of the nasty things Powell has said about Trump for years.

---

Then wait until he is asked at the very least.

Alternately a simple "I wasn't a big fan of his, as you know we disagreed on a lot and he didn't like me at all, but my condolences to his family" would have sufficed.

This is the kind of thing that alienates independents because it is not a political fight, it's just being an ******* for the sake of being one.

---

Don't disagree, that's part of what cost him my vote in '16. Trump isn't going to change though.

The Socialist Democrats said every nasty vile word in the English language when Rush died. Nothing DjT wrote even comes close to the tamest remarks that were flowing in January.

bless your soft little heart.

How are you liking Biden?

The real question is: Why did Trump want Collin Powell story to reach a broader audience? I'm sure many here will think, oh Trump just said something stupid off the cuff. It is classic Trump. I don't disagree that this is in character but he has been largely silent picking his spots. He chose to say something inflammatory here.

Did Trump want a story of a double vaxxed guy dying from covid in the news longer?
Is there a certain demographic that is moderate that disliked Powell that will align with this message?
Did Trump see this as a way to show he is still punching and fighting, was he worried about the conservative morale?


I doubt any body who didn't vote for Trump because he was mean were ready to pull the lever for Trump but will recall he said bad things about Collin Powell. And we know that Trump's persona will require him to attack other individuals as well before 2024 (that is a long ways away).

He is a former POTUS. That distinction matters to some voters.

It's no surprise that Trump's best ratings over the last several years come when he is largely out of the news. But when he inserts himself unnecessarily into political topics that arguably offer a terrible risk:reward ratio, his ratings fall. He is his own worst enemy in that regard.

but but but Trump tweets mean things....

meanwhile our current chief is destroying the entire country's economy as we sit here and watch ... when will this all finally hit home? if it hasnt already?

Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media. Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic RINO, if even that, always being the first to attack other Republicans. He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!

^^^He's not wrong you know^^^

I thought yall were tired of politicians who lied

We got one that told the brutal truth and you all cried like a bunch of titty babies.

Wimps.

---

I'm a Trump supporter - voted for him twice - but this comment from him was ridiculous. Did he think we all needed his opinion of Powell that badly ?

His mouth is why he's not the President right now, and if he continues opening his mouth when there's no need to, his 2024 campaign will fail for the same reason, and we'll be stuck with another crappy Dem in the White House.

---

Thank you for proving my point.

Powell was a crap republican. Those trying to paint him any different are LYING to set an agenda.

Just because a dead man is dead does not mean we should rewrite history to be kind to his legacy. That does noone any good.

When someone passes away, idiots ridiculously believe that is the time to rewrite their life.

This is false.

After death a life should be examined for what it was- the good and the bad. That is how we learn from their life and improve our own.

Rewriting history serves no purpose except to make you feel better because you can fool yourself into thinking your forgiveness of the errors of their humanity is virtuous.

That bull**** is why we are where we are as a society and regressing

Next time a Facebook friend dies, make sure to air their dirty laundry and how much you disliked them. Before the funeral preferably.

That will surely help society.

You need not worry, we will.
