I hate all the extra crap you get with him, but he was, is, and always will be a rude, brash NYC real estate mogul. He just is who he is.

And it’s gonna cost him another loss. Instead of admitting brutal failures and asking for forgiveness and a second chance, we get “frick you vote for me anyway”

Sorry, no.

I can live with that even if it probably hurts him with swing voters.

It's the toddler mentality that kills him. You can be rude and brash without sounding like a child.

Trump doesnt understand policy. He throws out ideas with little understanding of how they possibly could work.


FIFY.

Trump doesn't understand how policy works. Hell, he barely understands how the US government works and what little he does know about it he had to learn OTJ.

He's used to being a dictator, issuing orders and having underlings figure out how to get the orders done.

That in and of itself doesn't bother me. Reagan was also a "big picture" guy who trusted his team to figure out the details.

But Reagan had a set of philosophical principles that guided his policy agendas. Trump literally has nothing that resembles that.

Trump appeals to people just like him. Knee-jerk, non-thinking Alpha populists. He appeals somewhat to conservatives who understand that he is better than the alternative. And not really anybody else (I'll believe that he appeals to the black community because of his legal troubles when it manifests on election day and not before).

Enough of Trump's policies are in the right direction for me to hope he wins...today, anyway. But that could change tomorrow.

Ummm - Have you not seen the memo? Donald Trump has had more votes than any other president candidate in the history of the united states



Why did his candidates do so bad in 2022?

I have no idea and I don't really care about "his" candidates

As a grown adult, I honestly can't comprehend being this far up another man's arse.

But he keeps up with the childish social media stuff and loyalty litmus tests.

this is why I;d never want him for a relative, s.i.l., friend or neighbor.

Just cannot stand that crap.

But I'll vote for him vs any Democrat

Meanwhile, Trump supporters are happy with his policy, know it well, and are behind it.

Yes, Rinos would be happy with spending like liberals, expanding fedgov, feeding the frick out of MIC, not completing the wall, and handing the country over to Democrats when told to. Rinos gonna Rino.
