Will Republicans again allow 3-time popular vote loser Trump to bully the party into supporting him in 2028 as a failed convict well into his 80s? They will.
No such thing as "popular vote." It's not officially measured as some states stop counting once the outstanding ballots are too few to affect the result.
As for supporting Trump....it ain't our team that allowed an obviously senile old man to win the Democrat Primary and then conducted a palace coup to install a candidate that failed to get one primary vote. That same team, hid his issues for years...and your nominee was part of that.
These aren’t teams. I’m an American 🇺🇸. I registered Democrat for this first time in my life after being an Independent for decades. And yes I have heard that story before. I voted for Reagan his second time around. He was in office suffering from Alzheimer’s.
But we didn’t have any cults of personality back then that consumed our GOP. We didn’t have any single person taking over the RNC, bullying the Senate, and House leaders.
The GOP stinks because it allowed a sad inexperienced bully to take over and run roughshod over it and the country.
The Democrats stink because they covered up the senility of a sitting POTUS, all the way through their primaries, then replaced him on the ballot by smoke filled room fiat, with a vapid twit who didn’t get one, not even ONE primary vote.
Mike, as a fellow American, I want to hear from you. I just don’t understand. When I was young the Republican message was clear- pro small business, lower taxes, technology investment, American projection of power and security.
We all had nuclear war drills where we got under our desks and covered our heads with jackets to protect us from flying glass and blinding light. Russia was the enemy. Reagan’s biggest win was destroying the Soviet Union.
Now we have a fellow who praises Putin, is praised as “our man” by Russian state television, wants to give up Ukraine to Putin’s failing state, praises Hitler, and can’t get along with to effectively lead US Intelligence and military generals.
That right there was the end for me. The Democrats are the only party that understands it’s wrong to give in to Russian expansion.
My dad was at Chosin in Korea, a site of one of the bloodiest Marine events in history. His buddies visited our home every year for the rest of their lives. What would he think to hear the GOP leader talk about his “love letters” to the North Korean dictator?
I understand you love America as much as I do. What do you think about this?
I respectfully disagree. The State Department had been coordinating improved relations with Ukraine before the Maidan Uprising. At that time convicted felon Paul Manafort, a 2016 Trump Campaign advisor was working with Russian intelligence, against Ukrainian independence and western alliance. Konstantin Kilimnik, a Manafort associate and Trump campaign adviser, has been indicted, and was also associated with pro-Russian messaging in Ukraine.
Trump’s weakening of NATO,specifically moves to reduce and eliminate US contributions to anti-Russian defense is another example of Trump’s weakness toward Russia.
Trump’s appeal to Russian intelligence for dirt on Hillary Clinton, and the Trump campaign’s airing of Clinton campaign material from Russian sources both revealed a relationship with Russian intelligence and evidenced a service debt to a foreign power.
Intelligence documented multiple relationships between Trump and foreign pro-Russian individuals in Ukraine, directly with Viktor Yanukovich but also through Firtash, Deripaska, and Felix Sater who had been developing a relationship with Trump for many years.
This isn’t information I wanted to hear. We aren’t teams though. We are citizens fighting for our country. And there’s no way to get the party back and start winning again but to dump Trump.

Of the last 4 POTUS, only Trump did not cede ground to Putin. Like many folks you look at form over substance.
Here is a little 2-parter I whipped up to explain how all of this stuff relates.
