...to the fact that for whatever reason, Trump is going to be the nominee for the Republicans. The level of OMG look at THIS about Trump is getting old and tired at an ever increasing rate. Most of our first choice either in 2016, or now, was not Trump, but he's gonna be the guy. Haley is only there as a GOPe last stand in case something happens to keep him from being the nominee and walah, we get what the establishment wants.

Not my first choice by any means in 2016, and was really hoping DeSantis had not self destructed this time around (another topic, but it happened).

So, here we are. Trump. I did like his inauguration speech that caused the establishment to squirm like they had ants eating their privates, and he had some great policies, but was thwarted at every turn b/c not establishment. This tells us they don't have or want, what the voter does.

This leaves us on the Right with a defining moment. Are people going to sack up, hold their nose and vote against Marxism/Socialism/Real Racism, and throw in their vote for Trump, or just say "I'll not vote because I have higher standards, etc." and essentially hand over the wheels for eternity in this country to those that will do things like allow American Citizens to become collateral damage to save an open border, with all the crap that brings? Or the Woke driven assault on societal norms that have allowed our country to flourish as a shining light that has saved the world more than once?

The man is a jackass, but the world's history is ridden with leaders that have been a jackass and held evil at bay, at least for the time being for someone with a better temperament to ascend to take their place. A stop gap measure if you may.

Time for folks to sack up, hold their nose, and vote AGAINST the evil that resides within our border, not necessarily because they like Trump, but the alternative is demise on a short term scale of our country.

Trump. It's not WEF/Soros/Obama Socialism. It's the best option we are going to have.

I did not bully. I was a Cruz guy the first time, and wanted DeSantis to rise.

I'm with you.

I'm voting for the stupid MF-er because despite his selfish, undisciplined childishness he's not a democrat. No democrat is worth voting for. Ever.

If we lose, again, it's the idiotic masses that prefer his shallowness over substance to blame. We get what we deserve. He may suck - but how anyone could support Biden is 100x times worse.

Sometimes I marvel how we as a species ever moved beyond a subsistence level of existence with a life expectancy less than 30.

I don't think you get it. Trump has to earn votes now. Time for him to actually put in some work.

Trump has made his bed. He can lie in it if he gets unfavorable consequences. I'm not inclined to help save him unless he starts even acting like he did in the 2016 and 2020 elections. If my vote in Texas makes a difference, then he's in serious trouble that was extremely avoidable.

I had no problem with Trump as president. I thought he did a pretty good job; all things considered. He probably would have done better if he didn't constantly have the uni-party, 3-letter agencies, the media, and all of the DC bureaucrats trying to stick a knife in the man's back for not following their Marxist agenda. Honestly, it's not Trump that should be reviled. That hate needs to be squarely focused on those running/ruining our country at this very moment. Those SOB's never sleep, never tell the truth, and never stop scheming to tear this country apart.

40+ years. I voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020, proudly.

Not this time. Only possibility of voting for him is if it looks like he could lose Texas. Then I'd hold my nose and vote for him. But if it's that close in Texas we're hosed anyway.

You forced an awful candidate on us. Don't be surprised by the lack of enthusiasm. Candidate quality matters and R's keep picking bad ones. He can't keep doing and saying stupid **** and expect us to roll with it. No sir.

Might need to go ahead and let this version of the party burn down and rise anew from the ashes.

All these people crying about Trump are the same frauds that turn their back on conservatism in action. You want small government but don't support anyone that tries to actually do it.

Small government? Trump? Seriously?

It's this kind of delusion that makes nobody even remotely conservative like Trump. Y'all don't now who you're voting for. You wishcast things onto him because he has the celebrity status. You're not one bit better than Obama fanatics. In fact, you are the equal and opposite reaction.

Self proclaimed prophecies are ridiculous from the start.

Not voting for Trump thus enabling the outcome you can point and say I told you so. Congrats? The establishment wins and we repeat this dance in 4 years with the next anti-establishment candidate…

And the only cheating validity is if people like the Never Trumpers DID vote for Trump and the vegetable Biden or any D after 4 years of disaster still wins. That means either cheating or ideologies are incompatible and divorce is the only logical next step.

I never said Trump is entitled to anyone's vote. I said that countless times in the general elections going back to 2021 but was shouted down by the party before policy crowd that is happy with the establishment winning as long as it's the GOP version of it.

Trump is not establishment, but he's also not as conservative all around. No one meets that threshold, not even DeSantis. But if the goal is to give the middle finger to the establishment, then that is what Trump represents.

Abstaining only works if you abstain down ballot and with donations to give the GOPe a wake up call that it is not just Trump we are abstaining from, but all RINOs. The GOP is full of them and if you disagree then we will just have to agree to disagree on the definition of conservative.
