SC- Trump wins GOP primary against Haley 58 to 42

[Swordsmyth]

I expect him to "lose". That's what sets up the backlash. I don't know what makes anyone think I'm privy to all the details. But I remember, and do not forget:

What it sets up is a D crackdown and the end of elections in order to "save democracy".

And I don't think anybody cares that a NYC businessman hobnobbed with NYC society in order to do business there.

I know there's a uniparty but Trump isn't part of it. They hate his guts. I include Europeans and British establishment in that, too.

They could assassinate Trump on live TV and Tulsa would find some way to spin it that he was really part of them.

 

[Swordsmyth]

Trump will not be "installed for life." That is a leftist talking point if there ever was one.

If anything, we're closer to having Biden installed for life, as democrats do what they accuse their opponents of doing. Hint hint: They're running around telling everyone that Trump is going to end democracy.

Let's see if the hypocrisy holds true for this as well.

Leftist talking points (sometimes with a leftarian wrapper but increasingly without one) are all Tulsa has or ever had.
He is one.

Koch network stops spending on Nikki Haley's presidential campaign after her loss in South Carolina — Politico

She'll be dropping out soon.

And if anyone isn't paying attention, the anti-Trump Kochs are proven yet again to be globalibertarians and in league with the communists.

Yeah, you support Biden.

Anyone who doesn't like Trump must like Biden right?

This coming election is going to be like asking if you prefer being pissed on or crapped on.

Your post history makes it quite clear that your goal is to help Biden.
You attempt to disinform, warp the ideology of, and suppress the opposition to the benefit of the establishment.

This black pill thinking is very prevalent. I see it on GLP all the time and it's really hard to determine if it's genuine or if they're undercover shills. I am not accusing [MENTION=12430]acptulsa[/MENTION] of that, either. It's just what I see around. It's the ""they're" all in on it thing and I don't see it that way. Trump is not Mitch McConnell who is "in on it". That doesn't mean I'm a Trump lover. I'm not. I hate to agree with Hillary Clinton (!!!) but I also find him erratic and that scares me. When someone doesn't have principals and is also a narcissist, it's very hard to guess what they'll do. I'll give you an example:

Ukraine. While I firmly believe Trump when he says we shouldn't be involved (like it's not a US/UK proxy war which he's not smart enough to figure out) but he also makes statements about how if he were in charge, Putin would never have invaded and how he wouldn't stand for that. So, wtf does that mean? I ask because I worry about Trump's (personal) narcissistic impulse to "win". His grandiose claim that he could end that war in 24 hrs is delusional unless all US funding was completely stopped and I don't know if he would have the guts to do it (and it would take serious determination and some time). If Putin refused to pull out - and he would without a solid agreement which Ukraine won't do - then what? How is Trump going to control Vladimir Putin and order Russia around? And, he has no right to. And, Putin is a million times smarter than he is. What's he gonna do if challenged and goes all narc about "winning"?

I'm also concerned about his being unprincipled because that's why he constantly caves. He went from consulting with RFK Jr on vaccines - which he had previously said he was suspicious of - all buddy-buddy with Fauci and Burk and "Warp Speed". And, how about saying the US should have never been involved in Iraq and then not only not ending it but saying "we should take their oil" because "they owe us"? That's the "winning" thing. Same for Syria. I could go on and on with similar examples but you get my point.

Then he is an absolutely terrible judge of character as evidenced by his God awful appointments of people who are not only globalists and neocons but hate his fucking guts. That's bot flat out stupid but the narc desire to get people who don't like to approve of you.

He has no more sense of the damage of deficit spending and the national debt than AOC. That is a crisis and he doesn't understand. He's a guy who leveraged debt his entire career and has no concept of it being bad, as Milei understands, which is why I hope Milei might influence him. But, he doesn't listen to the right people and ends up influenced by idiots like his daughter. None of this is good and makes me nervous about him, even though I think his MAGA intentions are good.

All that said, and as unpredictable and easily swayed the wrong way as he is, he's light years better than any Democrap or neocon so I voted for him and will again. I understand acptulsa's disgust over the lesser of two evils, too, though I don't see as Trump as evil, just crazy. It's a totally fucked up and pathetic situation. It's truly clown world at this point and I don't like voting like this. I won't vote for RFK Jr because he supports reparations which is immoral and crazy.

I think Trump has good instincts. He senses when something is wrong but without principals and depth of understanding he flounders. I think he's ADD. I am not convinced he can pull off all that needs doing. I just know he doesn't want to kill or enslave me like Democraps do.

He considers this to be "campaigning for Biden".

I've seen racoons with more brains.

There's nothing right or sane about them, that's certain. But if you're looking for the lesser evil, Jr. wins by a country mile nonetheless. His blind spots aren't good, but he has a whole lot less of them than either of these major party proven clowns.

Will he do something about reparations? If we elect RFKJr and insist on him being sworn in, they're going to stop blowing bubbles, deliberately trash the economy (and not piecemeal) and ramp up the sabotage just to make him look bad, and punish us for going off their script. Trust me, reparations aren't even going to make his "to do list".

We aren't going to get out of this mess by letting them pick our menu of allowable choices yet again. It isn't a realistic expectation. Do we want to save our nation, or do we want to let the perfect be the enemy of the good and reinstall a proven evil?

You mean the CIA candidate who is an extreme leftist that advocates locking up his political opposition, seizing guns from people a bureaucrat secretly puts on a no fly list for no reason, and only started to give lip service on a couple of issues when he was preparing to run? (among many other positions worse than Biden)

 

[Swordsmyth]

Cover must be maintained, and nobody here who isn't one of the enemy moles could be persuaded to vote FOR Biden.
Therefore the obvious tactic is to get them to not vote for Trump and instead vote for a fake who is worse than Biden or to not vote at all.
And the odds are very good that Biden will be removed from the ticket now that the MSM has started to deal with his mental decline, so any attacks on him cause no damage, especially if RFK is the chosen last minute replacement because it will be timed to be too late for anyone else to start a campaign before the election and he will have been campaigning all along.

 

[acptulsa]

You mean the CIA candidate...

 

[Swordsmyth]

Donald Trump is not the opposition.

Nobody cares about your claims that he is not.
We believe our lying eyes instead of what you tell us.

Go ahead and label yourself a con-man.

 

[Occam's Banana]

Please keep things civil.

Also, a reminder:

The following is addressed to everyone:

I've asked before, but it's like asking little children to grow up and break the tiresomely repetitive and recurring cycle of "you're a big fat doody-head" name-calling and subsequent "he called me a big fat doody-head" tattle-telling. No one is edified by any of this. Calling someone a "shill" for the eleventy-umpteenth time isn't going to accomplish anything more than doing it the umpteenth time did.

So I'm not asking again. This time, I'm telling.

Stop using the "shill" epithet (or any variation of it) against other forum members.
​

Anyone who indulges in such "shill baiting" will be subject to being warned and told to stop. Thereafter, any further instances of "shill baiting" by the warned poster will result in the issuance of infractions to and/or temporary bans of that poster. Offending posts (including those for which a warning is issued) will be subject to editing or deletion.

Rather than posting "shill" accusations to the open forums, those who are authentically concerned that some other poster may be a genuine "shill" (whatever that is supposed to mean) should use the report function on suspected posts to specify which particular forum guideline(s) the alleged "shill" has violated. (And if you find yourself unable to specify any particular violations, then bite your tongue and find a way to satisfy yourself with substantively criticizing the relevant posts in the open forums without resorting to "shill baiting".)

Do you actually think Trump is evil as opposed to some of the things I said about him in my previous post?

In 2005, I was in a recruiter's office considering 'doing my patriotic duty' to fight in the war on terror.

People change, and Ron Paul probably saved my life.

In 2005 I was back from Iraq and getting pulled aside for additional searching by the TSA, sometimes while in uniform. Several years ago, I got pulled aside to have my hands checked for bomb residue while carrying a 2-year-old in the middle of a tantrum. Fucking cunts.
