The problem is in his view he is proposing elected another “Republican”. He didn’t mention that the GOP has been spending money like it grew on trees and was the party of God and family yet didn’t do much when they were elected before Trump.

His sentiments are exactly why we have Trump as a candidate. To fix the problem we need a new Republican Party and that will not happen as long as most of the old guard is in DC. After Trump we will see another GOP picked nominee that follows the track of Bush, McCain or Romney.

There is no more Republican party. Its split now IMO. The Republican party left me behind and I wont be supporting it nearly as much in the future.

My hope is the trump wing of the gop and the Warren/aoc/Warren wing of the Democrats become irrelevant and the moderates from both sides cast a collective middle finger and form a new centrist voting block.

I'm glad the GOP doesn't cater to the elites anymore. They were only prob at most 25% of the base most likely.

Unfortunately, all of the trends do not support reunification around some middle-of-the-road, centrist party...on either side. We are walking through a period of increasing divisiveness in our history. Fractures are only going to become more ubiquitous and deeper as we move forward. Politically, we're very likely going to swing from one extreme to another. Kind of as a tangent, you're seeing similar cycles in other areas too -- markets, weather, etc. It's interesting to see how trends in non-related environments move together.

Who in the Republican party is more moderate than Trump? It wasnt that long ago that he was a Democrat. I would love to know when the GOP left you and what issues you think they moved on when Trump was elected. Its pretty obvious that you just hate him which is fine but pointing your angry finger and those of us that do/will support him in 2020 is ridiculous

I don't think he was "Drawing it back to hating Trump" like you say he is as the reason. I think it's loony to start drawing such conclusions every time someone voices negativity about Trump and how he's shifted the party more radical. Right now, nobody on the 2020 field looks good. I'll keep saying it until November, but bag of diapers vs rotting fish. Maybe after Trump can no longer legally be elected and if the far left candidates lose steam will we have another shot at a fresh pool. Maybe by then we may have a shot at losing this radical-driven division.

He has repeatedly shown his hatred of the President and he has repeatedly questioned those of us who support him. I would love to know what is radical about Trump policy

You act like questioning is a bad thing? If you aren't questioning people's actions who are in charge then you've probably gone blind to thinking for yourself. Also I wouldn't call dislike hate. I don't like Trump, but I don't hate him. I still would rather have had him elected in 2016 than Hillary. However since we are nearing the end of his term we can look back at his actions. No president will hold to all their promises. As far as the radical part, you know he pulled part of the party close to him because he was immensely popular, and politicians will do whatever they can to be liked and re-elected. Happens all the time. The radicalization isn't so much what he's doing in office, but more of the toxic sentiment he creates on twitter, in his speeches, and anything related. He makes everyone against him evil in his pictures and makes it seem like nobody, and I mean nobody, who doesn't support everything he says as uncooperative and sleazy. People like Warren helped fuel him because Trump had a more liked response to her helped increase this sentiment. He took what worked, trashing people at all costs, and made it his way of work. At one point I determined myself enough was enough and chose to no longer support him. I want the country to be unified, not split apart, and Trump and people like Warren don't fit into that idea. Most people don't want a divided nation.

That's fair
 
I have said this many times on this forum. STOP READING HIS TWITTER! Stop focusing on his Facebook. Because of the sensitive nature of my work, I dont latch on to social media so its easy for me but so many of you would live more relaxed lives if you just let him do the job he was elected to do and atop allowing your emotions to control you when it comes to politics. Let him be a narcassist. Let him be all these things that eat at you because NONE OF IT affects you unless you let it! Donald Trump isnt dividing this country because he tweets. You look at the last two GOP candidates McCain and Romney. Both tried to be the friendly guy in the middle and both got smoked. The Democrats have shown their hand. They are going hard left and dare you to defy them. Do you want somebody to punch back or does socialism really appeal to you?

I guess I got tired of leaving my family to deploy for 14 years only to come back home and watch the country I love and fought for get destroyed from within by the left and its media whores. I can stomach Trump if it means our country rises above the BS Obama and the left have put us through.

I'm actually pretty close to being ok with an amicable divorce of a nation. I've said it before, just not gonna compromise on some issues and the left have decided they aren't budging on any.

any thoughts on the strike in Iraq tonight?

I realize I’m gonna get crushed for this because Trump supporters keep to themselves and lay in wait...

A certain President WOULDN’T have allowed 4 Americans to be killed in a foreign country’s embassy after days of requests for help.

A certain President WOULDN’T have drawn a “FAKE RED LINE” in the sand. (Result: Thousands killed)

Our President doesn’t take crap! You throw a slap (attack on our Iraqi embassy) You get your ASS KICKED !!

Oh, and the douche we took out this evening is responsible for hundreds if not more murders including Americans.

I’ve shown my hand ..... have at it. Much Love ❤️
 
My only concern is that when you do something like this it’s nearly impossible to see the unintended consequences and how it will end. Otherwise, I have no issue with it.

Yeah I've seen some people freaking out over it but I feel like this has been a long time coming

Reagan would have done the same thing. That's what we should do no matter who is in office
