This is something Trumpers just don't get... Trump is a loser. He is an incompetent leader and with him... we lose. We have him now because he was shoved down our throats by a bunch of people who just can't pull themselves away from the reality show. He's great for ratings, but he is a losing leader of the party. This isn't some sour grapes from the primary... this is a recognition that we will not ever do anything useful besides yell at clouds with him as the leader of this party.Kvetch said:jamey said:Kvetch said:P.H.

He couldn't win the primary. End of story.
The story isn't that he "couldn't win" the primary. The story is that an overwhelming majority of our population is heinously stupid. 50% of them vote for communists. 75% of the remaining 50% vote for Trump, who cant win. When the majority of the opposition party insists on voting for an opposition candidate who can't win, you get exactly the government you deserve. When Harris wins in November, everyone who insisted on voting for Trump over Desantis will get the government they voted for and the government they deserve.
So will you be voting for Trump or taking your ball and going home? Like it or not, he beat your preferred candidate. So unless you think Harris is better for the country, you are worse than a Democrat if you choose to stay home.
Your options are pretty simple at this point.
You people who think everyone should vote for whatever MAGA slaps a R logo on are a trip
Trump is not a conservative. Some former R voters will not support him. This should not be a surprise
If you wanted their vote you should have thought about that in the primary
Desantis in a general gets slammed on abortion and culture war issues way harder than Trump. His economic policy is much the same as Trump. He doesn't have the successful foreign policy to run on that Trump has. I think Desantis is a great governor, but you people acting like Trump is a huge lib and Desantis is a conservative god send are deluded. They are very similar in most of the ways that matter.
You just can't get over your own emotions about the guy because you're unwilling to put country over self. And then you play the game of unfalsifiable claims about "this candidate is way better than the guy who won."
Keep blaming Trump for your own desires if you want, but your accusations are just flat out false. I don't like Nikki Haley as a candidate, but I would vote for her over Harris. Same with plenty of other squish republicans.
Keep being the kid that takes his ball and goes home when you don't get your way. Im sure keeping your moral superiority intact is more important than actually voting for the best candidate available.
