Define “turn on trump”… ?
I like him. Voted for him twice. I won’t vote for him in the primaries and hope I don’t have to again in the general election for a number of logical reasons. A) Voting for single term limited people is stupid. B) We don’t need people who are going be fucking 80 in the Oval Office. Septuagenarians are bad enough. C) He’ll generate a bigger democratic and independent turnout for Biden than Biden will. Biden’s been a cringe-filled train wreck. Don’t give his side motivation to show up and many won’t. D) He seems to have a lot of drama and appears to lack the ability to filter himself in situations it would greatly benefit himself. Sometimes just because you CAN say something and land a hit doesn’t mean you should… stacking up pyrrhic victories won’t win you a war in the long run. Entertaining? Hell yes. But it can be quite self destructive. I haven’t turned on trump… but he’s no longer the best choice for a bunch of reasons. |

Quoted: Won't happen, but I suspect plenty of people are ending up where I am. Appreciate what he did in stopping Hillary and setting up the SCOTUS as a (mostly) effective check against the Dem's attempts to remake this country. Plus his success in putting American jobs and manufacturing back as a winning political issue. He singlehandedly forced the Dems to dump the Obama era 'manufacturing is never coming back' attitude. Disappointed in his not doing more with the opportunities he had. Tired of the drama and stupidity that seems to surround him. I'll vote for him again in 2024 if it comes to it, but I'd really prefer someone else. View Quote The cultists call this being a “n_t” |

Quoted: History is interesting. Political figures come to power, have masses of people adulate them, then fall from power. Many times, after a period of time people that supported that political figure turn on that political figure and revile them. Will Trump be turned on and reviled? It seems like he is losing support in different areas. How long until the (R) and Arfcom turn on Trump? If he has another failed bid for reelection? View Quote Biden is your Saviour? |

I think the media has already ensured that people without direct knowledge of the time will have a much different opinion of the man and the time than the people who were here. The media will continue to attack him long after his death.

Probably until your next thread asking questions to answers you already know.

Quoted:Tired of the drama and stupidity that seems to surround him. View Quote There will always be drama around any Republican that comes to power. Look at the lengths they've gone to attack Trump. The worst thing they have is an illegal recording made in a locker room of him making a vulgar comment and some mean tweets. The level of hate for the man from those here and the media betrays their bigotry. |

Quoted: Who knows - we all were in favor of GWB until View Quote Fixed. With trump it was the attacks on the RKBA, deciding that Hillary had been through enough, increasing deficit spending every year he was in office, filling the swamp, shitting on those guys In Kansas, pardoning felon democrats, and ushering in a level of socialism we haven’t seen since FDR. He’s still leagues better than Biden. But that’s not exactly a high bar. |

Quoted: They will NEVER stop coming after REPUBLICANS. The media has always been liberal and abused Republican candidates in my +40 years of working in radio and television. View Quote So… uh… don’t give them a target rich candidate they’ll have been intently focused on for almost 10 years already. Fact is, justly or not, the guy was impeached TWICE in a single term. And then petty high profile lawsuits, and raids, and arrests, and there’s still two more years they’ll be scheming against him. Fair or not, I don’t think he can win in this current game so I’ll vote for someone else in the primary. And if people think that someone like me who voted Trump twice (and would do so a 3rd time, if needed) makes them a never_trumper… then they’re as retarded as the left claims trump supporters are. |

No candidate is going to get you all of what you want. The Constitution was designed with checks and balances.
We will always be voting for the least worst. Hope we get more like Trump and lots fewer of pedo joe/oblunder fascists. At least Trump got some good stuff done even with rino's and dems doing all they could to sabotage them. |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwagon_effect The bandwagon effect is the term used to describe the tendency for people to adopt certain behaviors, styles, or attitudes simply because others are doing so.[1] More specifically, it is a cognitive bias by which public opinion or behaviours can alter due to particular actions and beliefs rallying amongst the public.[2] It is a psychological phenomenon whereby the rate of uptake of beliefs, ideas, fads and trends increases with respect to the proportion of others who have already done so.[3] As more people come to believe in something, others also "hop on the bandwagon" regardless of the underlying evidence. Following the actions or beliefs of others can occur because individuals prefer to conform, or because individuals derive information from others. Much of the influence of the bandwagon effect comes from the desire to 'fit in' with peers; by making similar selections as other people, this is seen as a way to gain access to a particular social group.[4] An example of this is fashion trends wherein the increasing popularity of a certain garment or style encourages more people to "get on the bandwagon."[5] AKA the Trump Train Effect. And the opposite is also true. Attached File Oh wow. You posted that thinking it was only in the other direction...? |

Anyone that fights the left will be treated the same. If you don’t believe me, take a look at the current Martha’s Vineyard situation. DeSantis sends a few Hispanics up there, and the left are screaming for him and Abbott to be charged with a thousand different things. Now he’s being sued by one of the people he sent up there , which I’m sure is totally organic and not influenced at all, right? Anyone that resists the left will be treated exactly as Trump has been. The only difference is he’s nuts enough to keep fighting back. |

The immense focused hate on Trump makes my political decision making easy. He is definitely the right tool for the task at hand. Anyone else will either:
1. Back off on the MAGA initiative (we go back to sleep and the swamp keeps swampin'). or 2. Be ground to dust under the weight of the establishment. We can go back to rainbow and skittles politicians after D.C. has been brought to heel. |

RNC has never been pro-Trump, they actively tried to deny him the candidacy but populism said FU to them.

Looking back over the past few decades, is there a national level democrat that the democrats "turned on"?

Quoted: Looking back over the past few decades, is there a national level democrat that the democrats "turned on"? View Quote Bernie. He would have won the 2016 nomination but it was Her turn, so the DNC rigged the last half of the primary to make sure She won. Bernie got fucked. It was hilarious. I think he probably would have beat trump because he was more popular than Hill-dog on the left with generally MUCH lower disapproval ratings from everyone. Hillary being uniquely hatable is and ripe for condemnation is why she lost; trump was the *perfect* candidate to skewer her. |

Would be fun if the Epstein names were 'leaked' right as Trump was throwing his name into the hat for the POTUS run.

Trump? I love that unlovable bastard because he drives the left insane. Rabidly insane. Also because he drives the center insane. The man is flawed, granted, he is man, but he's cleaner than any politician to date. Do you think any politician could withstand the scrutiny this man has withstood?
He's not perfect but he is better than a thousand of what we currently have. |

Orange Man did quite a few good things (tax cuts and Gorsuch), and quite a few statist and damaging things. Supporting the outrageous spending and scamdemic $$$ printing while bad-mouthing Thomas Massie (probably the best rep in the House) for not going along with it was stupid and unforgiveable.
