    Lee has a good grasp of the English language if you are familiar with his posting style.
    Why do you think it's "rather silly"?

    Why? Donald Trump is never going to be in a position to encourage another Jan. 6th style riot , much less be in a position of power again no matter what supposed Republicans tell pollsters.

    Trump divided people between those that are America First and those that are America Last.

    Either he does not have a good grasp of the English language or you do. He clearly said "all Republicans".
    I look at the hurdles required to accomplish it.

    I think this was meant as an insult. Didn't work though.
    OK. Do you honestly believe that if you contacted Trump directly and told him that you don't like something he did that he would not trash your name far and wide? If so, what evidence do you have to show that may be a possibility because, clearly, that's exactly what he's doing to other former staff and supporters that won't back his Big Lie.
    No battle is too big if one is fighting for what they believe to be right.

    Ummmmmmmmmm, Biden won the 2020 election. Why can't you accept that?

    (CNN)Most Republicans want former President Donald Trump to remain their party's leader, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS. But differing views about Trump's role in the party -- and his strength as a future presidential nominee -- highlight divides within the GOP.

    Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say, 63% to 37%, that Trump should be the leader of the Republican Party. But they are about evenly split over whether having the defeated former President back on the ticket in 2024 would be an advantage: 51% say that Republicans have a better chance of retaking the presidency if Trump is the nominee, with 49% saying the party would be better off with a different nominee. That's a very different landscape from 2019, when more than three-quarters of Republicans said their party had a better shot in 2020 with Trump as their nominee than they would with a different candidate.

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/12/politics/cnn-poll-donald-trump-republicans/index.html

    His cult-like grip on the party is still very strong.

    Why do you and so many people keep babbling about poll results? Poll results don't mean much. I'm a regular for Gallup and I've conducted polls myself and I can tell you categorically that polls don't mean m pouch.

    I myself answer polls in a certain way in order to undermine Biden and Democrats.

    He said "all Republicans". That is what he said.
    That is total nonsense. I am sure the Japanese and Germans thought they were right.
    I am not sure what other conclusion you can come to when such a positive, but wrong statement, is made.

    I'm not refuting what he said. I'm asking you if you think Trump would trash your name if you spoke out against anything he has said or done?
    Exactly. And, the fact that Trump has NOT filed any lawsuits for widespread election fraud is proof-positive that he knows it's a lie.
    You took a dig at Lee at least twice about his comprehension and then included me in your penultimate post. That's an insult or maybe it's you that might have some comprehension problems. I'm not saying you do. I don't know but your statement was not positive at all.

    Your post is literally the first time I've come across the idea that "we need a strong man like Trump to hold our country together." Where are you seeing this promotion?

    I read pretty widely right leaning sources and I've literally never come across this idea that we need a strong man ruler. Where is this being "promoted?"

    I have no idea and could care less. The issue is he said "all Republicans". I am a republican. That statement is obviously wrong as I said to start with.
    I don't know what Trump thinks.
    He is the one who made it. Not me. I simply disagreed with the statement. You are the one who elevated it into an discussion.

    Tunnelvision is so sad.

    Here's a hint: I'm not a Republican.

    Its funny to me that the same people trying to create alarms about trumpism in the ranks of the GOP are the same partisan hyper liberals that hijacked the democrat party.

    Something tells me you like to hang out in echo chambers meaning you only actually know 2 conservatives.

    Want to talk about how your political alignment has taken over the democrat party?

    "Ask not what can your country do for you, but what can you do for your country" - Some democrat /sarcasm

    Progressives like you have destroyed the democrat party, and in true extremist fashion, you are hoping to stereotype the GOP in the same radical fashion in an effort to continue the push on both sides to extremism.

    You sir, are exactly whats wrong with politics today.

    Sure. Start a thread on it. I'd be glad to humiliate you on any subject you choose. Tell me all about how Dems choosing a main stream Dem like Biden to be their nominee over candidates to his left shows the party has been radicalized. I can't wait.

    Narrow, limited vision is rather painful to watch. Perhaps understanding that individuals think differently, would be to your benefit.

    I will leave the alarm up to you. I am never alarmed about the past.

    Go hang out on Telegram. Parlar. Dont read the news sites. Listen to the people.

    Its a common refrain in those circles.
