Republicans, if you had the choice...

[debbiedowner]

Well since Trump is going to give amnesty to all these illegals I'd like to see Julio and Carmelita run in 2020 at least 2024.

 

[pismoe]

that should be yer concern but i figger that'll be in about 20 years from now , You'll be a good second class citizen / subject or possibly a 'dhimmi' D.D. !!

To my Republican friends-

If there was a a Republican challenger to Donald Trump in 2020, would you consider her/him? Who would you consider the most?

I consider anything.

hell no....I love trumps policies, but even more is how much you guys hate him


the more you hate, the more I love.....he embarrasses you guys on an hourly basis

What's more important: effective government or partisan division? Because you strike me as a divisive guy unconcerned about political results.

effective government...righties want that..

you guys are obsessed with politics....you determine everything in your life based on them....it's really sad

 

[buckeye45_73]

plus , i think she was a 'governor' and had some flag removed . Now that , that was her decision and shows her leaning if i recall accurately .

Actually it was the state house's decision. That was right after Dylann Roof massacred people in a church under that flag, and that's why they wanted to disassociate.

You got a problem with that? Or are you a big fan of church murdering?

What do you mean by "leaning"?

Trump has my vote. Haley is following Trump's lead. She took down the flag and that is unforgiveable.

Another church-murder fan huh. Why am I not surprised.

Wow, well lets get rid of guns, churches and white people then.....wtf are you talking about?

it was a nut job....just hang him and move on.

Any choice for republicans ended about a year ago. They're in this for the long haul, and I'm out.

Whether Rubio or someone can be a national figure in 2024? I dunno. Or will this just be the party of diminished whites' resentment?

Democrats refuse to hold their Party to any standards of decorum anymore and they guiltlessly blame Trump.

As far as I'm concerned, other than a few exceptions, it's War on the USMB's Democratic Party hypocrites and freaks.

Call it tough love if you'd like but my lines have been crossed....

Your "war" does not enjoy the virtue of integrity if your complaint about political parties not having standards, considering the lack of standards in the GOP.

Well, get your blinders off and your nice but you're a hopeless (nice) hypocrite.

You can't complain about one party abandoning standards while your party is in the midst of a political purge and civil war! That's really hypocritical.

Sure you can, especially when that party is full of fake outrage and fake compassion....
the republicans aren't nearly in as bad of shape as the democrats.......talk about civil war.....you guys are pushing people out who believe in crazy things like 2 genders or white privledge is made up or patriotism......good job!

No, you guys want politics in football, thanksgiving dinner, friendships....I swear you guys probably ask about a persons politics before befriending them........it controls your life.....conservatives don't act like that at all......politics stays in politics

we root for the players on our teams, without having to know their politics.
it's not in our movies (we don't inspect for diversity, require certain things being in there)

I mean Kathy griffin got mad at kevin hart for not attacking the President. Noone has a clue on Hart's politics...why is that bad?

 

[buckeye45_73]

Nikki Haley
And I ain't your friend.

That is a great choice. She seems reasonable and is intelligent.

and easy on the eyes...

Leave it to the idiot liberal to bring the SEXIST remarks. Got anymore IDIOT?

I do. Melania needs to pose for more nude pics.

I'm game, but I thought you'd like nudes of huma, Hillary, nancy Pelosi....and those are the ones that actually go to the gym.....

you should see the lookers at the women's studies department.....HAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWT

 

[buckeye45_73]

And as 'governor' she coud have argued to keep the flag where it belongs . [and she is homely, lower caste 'indian' perhaps] POGO

who is?

Sure, it's all our fault... but consider this and your beloved Party..

View attachment 200020..

Do you see the current state of the Republican Party as one of stability and leadership? Republicans themselves are decrying the state of the party as "cultish" and "divisive".

I'm not saying that, while the Democrat Party is a healthy institution. It's rudderless and in desperate need of a leader. But, from the cheap seats, the GOP ain't all roses and champagne.

no party ever is....there are factions.....ryan has been ok.....not sure about the next one...looks like McCarthy, but we'll have to see. Of course Trump is the party leader now, and a great one at that.

you didn't see conservatives attack people for not attacking Obama personally......it was always about his shit policies.

Politics in football? Trump shouts "You're fired" about players who quietly protest.

Politics in friendship? I have a Sterling record of gentlemanly comportment here because that's how I was raised. Yet there are many Trumpian posters who take the low road and personally attack me for criticizing Trump, as is my right and duty to do as an American citizen.

I respctfully stay quiet in social situations when the topic of politics is brought up in social situations because I am mindful of the passions and temperaments among Trump supporters. I choke back my opinions in order to avoid the inevitable fight that would ensue. So, I assume, that some of my friends and acquaintances think that I am in lockstep with their attitudes due to my silence. Is silence complicity? In some outrageous cases, absolutely. But should our social fabric be rendered because of this divide? I pray that it will never be this.

no fuck you
there is nothing quiet about that protest and you know it
They never did it before, it's rude, disrespectful and un-American
We didn't want any of that in our football, you did, so you can go fuck yourself you liar.
and what does this message board have to do with anything?
I'm talking about friends, not posters on a board.

No lefties make political agreement a requirement for their friendship, much much much more than righties. Lefties will only eat at approved locations,
in other words, politics controls their only life
and if you have real friend politics shouldn't matter.....I have plenty, we mock each other and go on with life.....we agree on a lot more than we disagree, but those are center left

the hard left (ANTIFA, Hollywood, BLM, SJWs) are people who are beyond disgusting

The fact is you guys take politics personally in a way that we do not. we want the best for everyone but we don't threaten kids of presidents, we don't post names and dresses of border agents or gun owners to try and start violence........those people are the lowest of the low.

My attitude is fine, but if you try to play me, I will call you out and it will be profane.
the reason I said that, was when you tried to turn the NFL on to Trump. It started before him, people were pissed already.
In no way would Archie ever do that. I have no idea what Archie's politics are no do I want to know. Same for any player or coach.

Those players could have done something away from Game time and I and many others, might have been on board....but do not ever, EVER put personal politics into the sporting arena.....it's not the time or place. Unless it's something unifying like fighting a disease or patriotism

because sports and other places are to get away from politics, WE do not want politics ingrained with everything.

To my Republican friends-

If there was a a Republican challenger to Donald Trump in 2020, would you consider her/him? Who would you consider the most?

You guys don't get it do you?

"Get" what?

We got a guy upthread who doesn't get it fer sure. He reads the word "Republicans" and responds about "Democrats". Hope he's not a taxi driver. You could end up in Ogden Utah.

Trump is not a Democrat vs. Republican thing.

Totally agree with that. No doubt. But that's not the point here.

Trump is a retaliation against the status quo. Good or Bad.
Neither the GOP or the Dems get it. Trump is very popular, both parties bashing him non-stop as well as constantly insulting "his supporters"... will not have good results for either party.
It will not surprise me if we see a number of incumbents replaced.

All off the point, isn't it?

Is it?
What I am saying is Trump is his own "party".
Therefore the usual party politics don't apply. As in "Who can the Republicans vote for to beat Trump"....will first, that assumes the majority of Republican voters want him out....which is certainly not true.
Secondly, Trump is more popular among Democrats than Obama was with Republicans.
So... does it matter who either party puts up?
Right now Trump would likely beat anybody

Yep, you're still sidestepping the question completely.
As I said another guy up there does the same thing by trying to change the topic from "Republicans" to "Democrats". Both are trying to evade the question.

The OP is addressed to "Republicans" -- that means those affiliated with, or inclined to vote for, that political party. It's got nothing to do with Rump.
