This is where you typically overplay your hand. You haven't made a choice, you are simply ruling out one of the possibilitiesWe don't even have another choice at this point. Only potential choices. But there is only one choice ever for loyal Trumpers, regardless of any facts.
Good Will Hunting?Ok, sure... his stance is the EU should be giving more. What about us, the US?
Also, where do you get the 1/6th number? I'm not seeing any source for that and the sources I have don't show anything like that.
What is his stance for US policy?
Some here think the number should be zero an not our business.
Some think the support should be big, maybe even the amount spent and passed to be spent.
Others might be somewhere in the middle.
Perhaps any words about whether it's too hot, too cold, or just right?
And what the **** is a GWH?
I think the set up is that you obviously haven't looked dispassionately at all sides of the issue if you disagree with the prime exponent of his own such considerationFirst off more of your putting words in others mouths. A belief that Trump is best suited to the challenge is not “rooted in persona” it is rooted in actual evaluations of what the individual did previously under unprecedented fire.
Thank you, Dr Hindsight, for your unsupported opinionTrump didn't do all he could do. He could have done all the policy stuff with half the theatrics. That would have done more for the country than what he did and could have won him reelection
I think I've explained my hand quite thoroughly. And given the past performance, I'm hoping for a better choice than Trump. No guarantees. I might have to settle for "meh, it's better than voting Democrat."This is where you typically overplay your hand. You haven't made a choice, you are simply ruling out one of the possibilities
It's the fact that you HAVE made a choice that contributes to a growing belief that it's more about the man than the policies. It's my opinion that you have chosen unwisely. I'm pretty sure you have opinions about that too. I don't have to have your same opinions. You don't have to have mine. See? That's how this individual thing works.Why on earth would you think that those of us who HAVE made a choice should then be expected to rule out our preference because your OPINION is such that we have chosen unwisely, and then you ladle on some pseudo psychological bull**** designed to paint us as unable to 'look carefully at the issues from all sides™' when we merely disagree with you
I'm not sorry that I don't live up to all the standards you've assigned to me, if that's what you're looking for.Honestly, dude, if you were really all that as far as how carefully youseek to support your preconceived notions'examine the issues from all sides', you wouldn't need to sell it so continuously. It would be apparent to everyone by inspection
Simply an answer to someone asking if Trump had done all he could, Tick.Thank you, Dr Hindsight, for your unsupported opinion
I shall give it the careful consideration it deserves
Wait. The folly of behaving like a spoiled brat on the political stage is hindsight?Thank you, Dr Hindsight, for your unsupported opinion
I shall give it the careful consideration it deserves
I think the lessons from the mid-term elections need to be learned or they'll be repeated. Some takeaways, but not an exhaustive list,Personally, I don't think it's going to make a difference who runs, they will lose. We have to figure out how to deal with the "national machine" or you won't see anything better than what we have now. Money, and who is spending it will decide the leadership of this country and right now big lefty money has a powerful machine combination.
Money talks, the bigger it is the louder it talks.
It isn't something I bookmarked, so I can't find it right now. I can give you charts that show we have given 4x the military aid to Ukraine as the entire rest of the world has, so that would I think make the 6x what NATO/EU has done plausibleAlso, where do you get the 1/6th number? I'm not seeing any source for that and the sources I have don't show anything like that.

Great White Hope
Ballot harvesting isn't gonna stop in states that aren't run by Republicans willing to stop it.It's going to be tough, but the we need to figure out how to stop the ballot harvesting as it's the key to success. It's either that or we will have to match the number of activists in various places and their organization to achieve parity and I think that's going to be tough. Republicans will have to commit a lot of money to a national "ground war" that I don't think they will.
I believe that's what Trump was trying to get across with his famous "constitution" remark.
The problem is that elections are state issues. The valid argument is that a handful of "purple" states end up allowing conditions such as ballot harvesting, which are ripe for uncatchable fraud. This uncatchable fraud is common in the blue states. With all of these loose "rules" in so called swing states, their fraud can tip to "win" the whole country. Exactly as they did in 2020.
They have generations of dems that have been raised to win by whatever means. Why do we think they argue so vehemently against voter ID? They can't win if they can't cheat.
Right now, I think our only answer is to overwhelm the dems with real votes that they cannot realistically beat by cheating.
I hope they can find those those real votes. My take on the last election is that the national machine is running well and refining it's organization. I remember reading about the people watching the ballot boxes and the pile of abuse they received from big media over this. I suspect if the idea of watching these boxes becomes popular you will see the machine pay thugs to disrupt the watching and we'll be well on our way to seeing the national machine's SA, with all of it's future implications.
