They didn’t hold their nose. They want him again and there is an array of possibilities. They could make it clear they won’t settle for him again in the primary and a number of Republicans would jump in.

However, should he win the nomination I'll be happy to vote for him over Bungling Biden or any other Democrat that happens to appear on their ticket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said he was still considered best to benefit their livelihood and beliefs. Should be telling and not surprising that he was the choice over status quo Washington. Trumps no political future may very well be made this next round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They preferred the message he was peddling to the message of Jesus. And those messages couldn’t be more different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you were ticked with the “altar and global warming” comment from Mikey. I do agree with Mikey and “altar”. It is often presented similar to a religion and considered a leftist Ideology. You do understand that the majority of Christian’s will never accept the progressive left ideology don’t you? 1. Apparently "we" doesn't include Mikey. 2. I understand many fundamentalists reject scientific understanding of nature, but that's their problem. It doesn't affect the truth (reality). Don't know what you mean by "progressive left ideology". You'll have to explain that. Edited March 17, 2023 by homersapien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
