I'm just going on what you said. "will bring back votes lost to Biden or third party candidates, in the 2020 election."
Referencing future elections.
RIght, but you're implying then that Trump drove away more voters than he gained/brought. So you think another candidate would have at least had a better chance of winning. I don't. I think he did drive away his share of voters, but I think he brought more people out to vote for him than would have come out for a Cruz, Rubio, Pence, you name them.

Not in 2020, see if anything changes in 2024, or we get Trump running again. There are better candidate than the ones mentioned. Haley, DeSantis, Noem just off the top.

Then why focus on him at all? Press on with the positives that will come without Trump. She couldn't even do that.
Probably b/c everyone else is still clinging to Trump b/c they're afraid of going against him and invoking his name. As a leader, Liz felt the party should go in a different direction.
And most of R party don’t believe the party should go in a different direction from everything the Trump admin accomplished or advocated. “Go in a different direction” would be tax increases, open borders, liberal judges, more regulation, America 2nd, etc, etc..”Go in a different direction” is what we’re getting with Biden..

The GOP is going in one direction and Liz was vocal about it being the wrong direction. I get that. Doesn't make it any less ironic that she was cancelled for speaking out against Trump. If she was so horrible at her job why wasn't she kicked out in February or any other time since 2019.

Oh yeah..the calls to remove her only came once she began criticize Trump.
Should have been more clear, I was talking voting record.

And in regards to what the difference between February and now, it was that everyone was fine with Cheney speaking her mind, but to keep droning on and on over her complaints wore thin...because she wasn't doing her job.
AH. yes. I think it's something like 94 to 78, Cheney.

That's a valid point - but she wouldn't have had to keep droning on if the lies about a stolen election and other conspiracy theory nonsense wasn't being embraced and mentioned. She spoke her mind and pushed back against that BS.

A different direction from Trump could also be as simple as a leader with character who takes responsibility and acts like an adult.

Please identify the current leader taking responsibility for:
*gas shortage
*pipeline hack
*border crisis
*soaring inflation
*Israel under attack
*Iran flexing it’s muscles
*RussIa about to go to war agin

And don’t tell me Biden or Harris. He’s not allowed to take impromptu questions and she’s been AWOL for 50 days now since being named Border Czar.

I'm not saying that Biden or Harris is that kind of leader, I'm saying that going "in a different direction from the Trump admin" doesn't have to be about policy but could be about character and leadership. Many of Trump's policies were great but he was beyond lacking in character, integrity and leadership.

So instead we replaced him and Pence with a couple of bozos who have neither character, leadership, integrity OR good policies.

Brilliant.

Why/how is it Biden's responsibility that Israel is under attack and that a private company was hacked? It's Biden's responsibility that every one here with Trump bumper stickers is panic buying gas? :suspicious: Border crisis, Iran, Inflation (to a point) I can see your point. Not sure what Biden has to do with Russia since Trump spent 4 years sucking Vlads cock.

Meh. Bottom line is the Biden* admin is viewed as weak, hence all the worldwide conflicts going on. Things seemed to unravel pretty fast in the first 100 days. That says a lot.

No, it’s not. And you can say shit like that because you KNOW it won’t ever happen. If it DID, I’d have a different opinion of him. But that’s such a straw man argument as to be almost comical.

I’d be fine with both of those as well. Very, very few people make the minimum wage anyways. Salary should NOT be a function of the government. Nor should saving for retirement.

We’re starting to build a platform i could get behind!
