Why we're all waiting for the inevitable, that being Trump gouging away at DeSantis, which has already begun, and the two MAGAt's attacking each other, the GOP senate "leadership" fired its own opening salvo at one another:
"Senate Republicans let their fury and frustration out at one another during a lengthy closed-door meeting that revealed the bitter feelings left over from a crushingly disappointing midterm election."
"An at-times nasty and personal discussion took place at the Senate GOP lunch, where Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who have been at odds for months, traded recriminations over who was to blame for the GOP’s failure to win back the Senate."

And as to my behavior on this forum, since you brought it up, I'll tell you this much, I will EASILY vote for Trump over the Democrat in the General.  

I am more concerned about the nation, than my petty anger against any one politician.  You and Jim Brown apparently are more concerned about satiating your angry ego against Donald Trump, and so you'll get self-satisfaction in voting against the interests of the nation so that you can feel good about sending this nation into  the toilet, so you don't have to hold your nose and vote for Trump.

Personally, I care more about the future of the country and my nephew's and niece's futures, so I'll hold my nose and vote for someone I can't stand as I did Romney.

He's a scumbag of the highest order who cares about himself as he proved when he did not support Mike Lee over that lying Democrat Evan McMullen.

Maybe your ego and satisfying it in relation to the detriment of the nation as a whole makes you a better man in your mind?

Ok, so be it.  I'll stick with holding my nose and doing what's right and just for this nation overall.  I can live with that.

Brian, what specifically did Trump do that you find so objectionable?

I'm a true-blue conservative as you know, Rod. I actually blame both R's and D's for the inflation we currently have - the Federal Reserve has more to do with it than either one IMO.  Both parties spend like drunken sailors, it's only what they spend on that is different. That being the case, I'd rather have a healthier business community to try and keep the golden goose from getting drowned by either party.

BTW, I think Biden get's a D- on how he handled Afghanistan withdrawal, but an A on his intervention in Ukraine. Ronald Reagan would be very proud of the US response to the red menace.

Here are the GOOD things that Trump did as President.

He got dozens of Corporations overseas to come back and put their operations back here which they said flat out the reason being was his tax cuts and his offers for them to pay a flat rate and their past obligations. 

The tax rate cuts he initiated, resulted in Gigantic hiring surges by these corporations and resulted in these corporations giving large raises and huge bonuses to their employees. 

He initiated peace deals with many Arab countries and Israel which was giving stability to that region, something unheard of until he got it done

He helped us to become energy independent and when he left office ENERGY prices, gasoline in particular was at its lowest cost in years and years.  

Now under Joe Biden it got all the way up to $5.00 PER Gallon at one point and that was the AVERAGE, 2.5X what it was under Trump.  

He got us out of the Paris climate accords, which are a disaster and will only put money in the pockets of the elitist Enviro climate change nutjobs all on the backs of the American people's pocketbooks.

He dialed back the ridiculous Iran deal which was only advantageous to that terrorist nation.  

He was crushing them financially with sanctions.  They were dying.  

He stopped little rocket man from threatening the nations around him.  We did not hear anything from Kim Jong Un for years.  

He put China in its place.  They were on notice and didn't try to attack Taiwan.  Now they are threatening it with Joe Biden in charge.   

He kept the Taliban from doing ANY attacks on our soldiers for 18 straight months, which had not happened in years.

He provided us with the LOWEST unemployment rate for Hispanics and Black Americans in this country in history, the lowest numbers EVER recorded since the gov't started recording.

He put back into the pocket of working families an average of $6000 more per year, through the implementation of the tax cuts.  

Those are just a few things off the top of my head.  

So now, Provide us with your long list.

I'll start you out, Jan 6th was his fault.

Ok, I won't concede it but that's your #1. 

Go from there, and provide us with your long list.

I'll give you an F and I'll give you another shot.

Go ahead Numbskull, you said YOU can give a LONG LIST.  

So far you have Failed miserably. 

Why? Because you are intellectually devoid of any instances, aside from your leftist, pissed off anger for Trump and the right side of the political aisle.

Go ahead and name 3 things, and Jan 6 is off the table since its the only thing you have.
