Rebound Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 12 hours ago, sharkman said: It’s time for a thread to document DJT’s progress to the 2024 Republican National Convention. So far, he’s won Iowa and saw 2 “contenders” drop out. But now Trump has just won New Hampshire, and apparently has a total of 31 delegates. Time to wake up liberals, the Trump train is picking up steam! https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/politics/live-news/new-hampshire-primary-01-23-24/index.html Trump's second primary victory: Former President Donald Trump will win New Hampshire’s GOP primary, CNN projects, defeating Nikki Haley and further cementing his hold on the Republican Party. He is the first non-incumbent GOP candidate in the modern era to win both Iowa and New Hampshire. I’d like to see the primaries go through at least Super Tuesday. I hate the idea that only voters in Iowa and New Hampshire decide for the entire nation. That’s not how a democracy should function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learning from that image that it was Trump who killed Inigo Montoya’s father in The Princess Bride? I don’t think you’re using that expression properly Well i was thinking more along the lines of you posting a "fevered" rant about something petty and silly in a thread about how great trump is doing at the moment, but sure - the indigo thing makes sense too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're mistaking "thought he would lose" with "desperately and feverishly crying to the heavens and gnashing their teeth and hoping he would lose". They're similar, but different.

CdnFox Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 7 hours ago, Michael Hardner said: "Biden does better against Trump than Haley according to polls" 🤔 If he's going to lose to both, why worry about how MUCH he's going to get beaten by? "Thank God we got trump, we only lost by a little, it could have been a couple percent more if Haley got the nomination!" Only a democrat and other left wingers would think that's good logic. But hey - you do you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of, say, numbers like life expectancy, pandemic mortality or GINI Coefficient, or mean global temperature... Well... Let's just stick to rhetoric shall we? Are you finally admitting that saying things like "Everwun hoo votid for thuh uther gie iz MAGA ikstreemists", and calling the unvaxed "racists and misogynists" constitutes hateful populist rhetoric?

robosmith Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 6 hours ago, OftenWrong said: Pretty amazing, really. After all the media attacks, accusations, impeachments, swat teams, incendiary rhetoric, he's coming back. And not just barely, but huuuuge!!! I think that alone shows a certain resolve and determination, where most would have gone into hiding for the rest of their lives. But not Trump. He's totally shameless. Some will be inspired by his ability not just to stay in the game, but to win again. And now these liberals are quaking in their boots for what they've done, how much they've invested in attacking him, on a grand scale, to find out they failed in defeating him. In fact the opposite. People not only want this guy, they REALLY want him. The world wants a change. The political class has elevated itself to the status of royal elites, out of touch with reality of common people, and most importantly, ineffective at achieving positive changes for the future. Look at the mess we're in with these liberals at the helm for too long. Even in Canada, the Liberals and NDP are quaking in their boots about Trump. You'd be quaking in your boots, IF you RECOGNIZED how Trump is following the Hitler playbook. Instead, like the citizens of Germany in the 1930s, you're cheering him on. 🤮 Members of the German-American Bund would be so proud of the help you're giving to their legacy.

Clearly it is NOT true among republican voters. No question about that anymore now. The so-called swing voters, in other words people who are not partisans, will be looking at this from a platform and policy point of view. Partisans will remain deeply entrenched. No one is counting on the MAGA CULT to not vote Trump. Fortunately their numbers are too small to elect him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL - trump built his house on democrat lies. The dems turned trump into a martyr and hero with 7 years of fake 'russian collusion' that will be 'discovered next week for sure' along with billions of useless lawsuits and severely overblown 'insurrection' claims along with "if he gets in that's the end of the free world' Bullcrap. All of that hypes trump up, keeps him constantly in the news cycle and boosts his popularity. And makes the dems look like the liars. If none of that would have happened - i doubt we'd be seeing much of trump right now. That's why they joke that he's one indictment away from the presidency. And his leadership will be fine - if not somewhat silly. His economy was better than biden's or obamas, he did fine on the foreign policy front, he'll ruffle feathers with allies but they know he's done in 4 years so they'll just blow it off. You should start working on your excuses as to why the world didn't come to an end when he gets re-elected like you promised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
