A few events in the recent election both illustrate the differences between the candidates in their personal out looks and view of life. The most effective events in the Trump campaign were for the most part unscripted and cost very little money. The democrats blew it when Biden called Trump voters garbage. While Harris tried to defuse it, Trump took it and ran. He than gives an unscripted live press event in Garbage Truck One. Answers some serious got you questions well and turns a comment into a very successful and memorable event. One proud garbage truck owner, a borrowed work vest, and a sign on the truck. Cost peanuts, value priceless. There was an attempt on his life. Missed death by the grace of God and leaning over to point out a graph he had as an aid in his speech. His reaction, one of being pi#### and with blood running down his face, set the attitude of the whole campaign. Fight, fight fight. Get the job done and connect with the voters. He did not come over as an old man hiding in the basement. No cost and a photo that was seen by almost every American and will be shown 100 years from now if we make it. Musk joining campaign. A lot of non politicians like Musk, he really can't be bought, joined the Trump campaign and brought both money and expertise to the organization. He spent an estimated $250 million of his money to get Trump elected. His and other wealthy donors allowed the Trump campaign to target specific attacks on Trump. abortion being one. This allowed the campaign to be able to quickly respond to any changes in the tenor of the race. Often in a matter of hours. https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/05/politics/elon-musk-trump-campaign-finance-filings/index.html Perhaps the biggest event in the campaign was the unscripted discussion with Joe Rogan. Over 2 hours of pure Trump and by a interviewer who was not at first really a pro Trump source. While I doubt many watched the whole interview. I admit I got suckered in and did, but the number of views and the comment on the show cost nothing and were priceless. Trump's huge campaign rallies also dominated the news in the state where they were held. Mass media had no other choice than to show them and it is hard to understate the number showing up when the venue is full and there are thousands listening to it outside. The proof of the overall tenure of the campaign was that although the mass media and the most money backed Harris, he won. He, or his organization, made very few mistakes, played the media like a violin, and utilized the alternative sources of information as no other candidate has in modern times.
The dems tried every play in the book Trump was a racist, antisemitic, rapist, felon, insurrectionist the list goes o and on. I truly believe Trump loves this country and wants all Americans to have a shot at the American dream. Sure he is out spoken and that is what IMO connected with the American people. IMO most of his campaign came from the heart and not some prescript response. Both Bidumb and Hairyass if it wasn't written down or prearranged questions they were lost. And Thank God she did
As I said before, if they didn’t interfere in 2020 Trumpy would be on his way out. (Yes, it was rigged somehow.) Now the R’s are looking great for the next 12 years, lol. D’s are truly the dumbest organization anywhere! Over 1 billion wasted on two of the biggest dopes ever, Harris/Walz. My kooky neighbor even took down his sign well before election night, too embarrassed and/or saw the handwriting on the wall. Lol.
I remember thinking we were set during Trump’s first presidency. There was talk about his kids being president after him. A lot can change in 4 years, and a couple percent can flip the whole dang apple cart.
@duane very nicely put together and stated! I am still praying that God will watch over and protect him because I believe his life is truly at risk. They have rigged numerous elections, toppled governments, invented reasons to war murdering their own citizens in doing so, and assassinated presidents before, so there is no reason to believe they will stand on the sidelines while he takes their power from them, tearing their world apart. Pray for him, pray for our country and pray for us.
your kooky neighbor wasn't alone - not by a long shot - plenty of Biden-Harris signs came down and a Harris-Waltz sign never replaced it >>> no wayyyyy in hell were they signing on to that dumb ethnic whatever bitch ... what's enjoyable to watch right now are the DNC Wanna Be Prez that sat out the Trump Crunch Election - coming out now pushing already for 2028 >>>> hope to hell that they actually run - it'll be more of a joke 2028 election than 24s .... Butt Boyz wants to run in MI for governor and then Prez? - HIM? - part of the successor DNC slate? >>> why even bother having an election?
One of the BIGGEST coups Trump could have dreamed up, and yt had nothing at all to do with, Having almost his entire cabinet interviewing on the Shawn Ryan podcast/youtube channel! Shawn Ryan is the new "King Maker" in that if you want any chance at all, you absolutely JUMP at the chance to sit down on his show! SOmething Ron DeSantis was supposed to do, but never did, and it cost him dearly, something i'm betting he will regret in the future when he is no longer Governor of Florida! Shawn made it well know, regardless of Party, ANYONE wanting to come on his show was welcome, and guess how many Democrats showed up, ZERO! Shawn really set up this success, quite by accident, but it's now defacto, you want to succeed, you interview on his show! One of the more surprising turns, that Shawn pulled off was his double interview with Megan Kelly, she interviewed him first, and then went on his show and the outcome was bigger then anyone could have imagined, it put Megan in Trumps camp as a very outspoken and LOUD voice for Trump, and THAT got a whole bunch of swing votes, and even lefties to switch over, THAT was one of the biggest wins of all, something nobody could have predicted let alone even planned!! The Interview with Robert F. Kennedy was another turning point, showing him as a real man, not a family name, complete with his flaws, and troubles, but also his resolute conviction to do good against all odds! Not taking anything from Team Trump, it was a long and bloody slog to this point, and no doubt, an up hill fight against the dems and Biden who seem hell bent to sabotage Trumps presidency at every step, but the end will be the same, the dems are done as a political power house, never again will they hold the kind of power they had under Biden and co. NOPE, America saw the truth for what it was and demanded change, and now we get change weather we like it or not! The Dems may yet try to kill Trump, but that would be a YUGE mistake, Team Trump are still very much on board with his plans, and taking Trump out only strengthens them tp continue his drive and determination, in fact killing him would be the most stupid act of all, even letting Isis/al-Qaida/Taliban do the deed, NO, that only hands Trump more power then anyone could dare dream!
Oh, I quite agree it would be stupid for them to assassinate President Trump but...I would give you huge odds they would do it in a heartbeat if they thought they could get away with it...which of course, history has shown us, they can. Personally, I think without Trump - well - I don't think you could hold 'Team Trump' together and still get $hit accomplished. They're all smart people, all highly motivated and all Alphas and there lies the problem because you must have a BIGGER Alpha to control the pack and make them pull as one. I just don't think Vance could do it; actually, no one else could. Hell, I never even heard of Vance before the Presidential race. Trump has the experience with real accomplishments, the well deserve respect and trust of the entire nation (shown by both popular and electoral vote), withstood government persecution, on and on, all of the credentials. Hell, he has even survived a murder attempt and can and will make the pack go in the direction he determines is best. Yet, it would be stupid to assassinate Trump and make a martyr of him...or would it? Think about it from their perspective and also how they could turn the propaganda in their direction. Remember, these are the people that mocked us, our 'bibles and guns,' laughed and called us 'Deplorables' to our faces while calling us 'Garbage.' So, he's killed and is a martyr, so we're all pissed - and what would we do about it? Nothing. Nothing because we are law abiding citizens and they know this. We are so law abiding that we allow criminals politicians to perform illegal acts like leaving our nation's borders wide open while using our own funds to support these illegals and encouraging them to come. While not only our funds assisted them but so did our own laws and judicial system. So, you think they will give a damn if we hoot, holler and howl? They will say stuff like, 'You can only push people so far..." (Senator Elizabeth Warren on the recent murder of UnitedHealthCare CEO). President Trump is absolutely needed to make this happen. I do not believe it can happen without him, or it already would have. Perhaps the biggest reason is the People believe in him and are behind him and for good reason; he has gone the extra mile in more ways than one. Think about it...a billionaire, that has been spat at, shat at and shot at and continues on. Why? We Americans get it and our Representives damn well better get it too or else...but we have no belief in them, these others, politicians or non-politicians, and that also is for good reason. Without Trump this whole movement falls apart and probably will never happen again making this our last chance...and that is what scares me because if I know it then those Leftist, Commies, treasonous SOBs know it also as does the foreign powers. So, here we sit on a knife's edge. Yeah, the Dems are finished but we have but this last chance to really turn the country around and it hinges on one man. So, yeah, I am afraid, and I pray for him, for me and for all of us, our nation. This is just the way I see it...
I just hope that Trump is playing the long game - like I think he is >>> not only get his chore list accomplished as much as is possible in his second interrupted administration - be working VP Vance out front & center - promoting an easy 2028 successor election .... so far there has been no sign of some BS "keep buzy" title job - Border Czar or Covid Chief >> hopefully Vance gets to headline some of the big league jobs that will be running parallel to Trump's main push ....
It would be reasonable to think Vance would be the successor but, in truth, there are a lot of good players on the bench. For example, this will give us a chance to see if Vivek is truly as Red, White and Blue as he says he is because he is damn smart, not a politician, and shown he can be successful; however; after Obama, I'm reluctant to trust any smooth talker and Vivek is an excellent speaker, probably the best that is out there in my opinion.
I believer Trump picked Vance specifically for his strength and alignment with Trump's plans! I believer he was picked as the 2028 successor, someone on the team to carry on after the coach is finished up. Vanc was an unknown, and yet has proven to be a tough as old boots no bullshit patriot, more then able to stand on his own and go toe to toe with ANYONE, and not back down, THAT is a good thing, and exactly what we need going forward! If Trump manages to pull off his plans these next 4 years, then Vance has it sewed up the next 8, and after that, any one of the others on "Team Trump" could be unbeatable, and after Vance, Vivek might be ready for prime time, though I think there might be a few others lined up as well! If it all goes as I think it will, the Dems are seriously screwed, and good! I don't see them having any chance for any stretch, the damage they have done was so bad, it's going to set them back 20 years or more, as a power party, I do not think they will ever hold that kind of power ever again, the trust was broken and I don't see them recovering, nor do I see them having any viable candidate to put forward, and I think they know it! Any of their hopefuls like Newsome, or one of the other leftie Gov'ners stand ZERO chance now, and the foreseeable future, so we might have a chance to change things back to what our forefathers intended
My biggest fear is the American people have such a short memory the demoRATS will rise from the ashes
I definitely agree, at least so far, as I like what I see in Vance, but time will tell; however, I do trust Trump's judgement now on personnel after years of learning the Swamp Lands. Trump is smart enough now not to pick some weak knee bugger like Pence who wanted to be just a place holder, cause no waves and basically do nothing that might jeopardize his career, basically kowtowing to the swamp and its donors. Yeah, the next four years will decide the fate of this country. What gives me hope is we have some great people involved now, real $hit kickers and I pray that Trump can just hold them all together, make them pull as a team to accomplish what needs to be done. The BIGGEST problem will be and always has been getting the Congress to do what is necessary, kick a$$ and take names. We still have lots of do nothing, vote as the donors wish, Republican scumbags not worth a damn that truly need to be tied to a whipping post or tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail. The Democrats know they are in deep, DEEP trouble. Hell, loads of Dems are starting to jump ship, like the ESPN anchor that threw a fit about how the Dems were caught lying - again - about FBI undercover agents and January 6th. People simply do NOT like to be lied to and sooner or later lies come back to bite you. Plus, Trump ran away with the vote, electoral and popular so, they don't have a leg to stand on there. Personally, I think it is funny how quiet and humble most of them are now, not even raising their eyebrows about anything, just covering their backsides, staying in the crowd and hoping to ride it out. All their normal BS has failed them, the trannies, the anti-gun, the open borders, Woke, DEI, even the abortion crap - all of it. We'll see them back pedaling for a while yet and as Team Trump wins with the economy and foreign affairs and things improve, it will even get worse for them. I think we'll see a few that use the Border issue to raise hell as the showdown between Federal vs. State and Local government concerning deporting the illegals to be their biggest chance to regain the spotlight, but the People want it so how hard will they push, probably just enough to get some publicity. I do look forward to the Newsome vs. the Feds in the near future with all these sanctuary cities, even that old bitty governor of Michigan is trying to mend fences and insinuating she will play along. It will definitely be an interesting four years, and it is a make-or-break time for us...which is why I am deeply concerned. There are still cards that the Swamp can and will play - war being one. BTW don't believe the Democrats are finished. Nope. Yeah, they got knocked down, but they will take their standing eight count, ride out the rest of the round and they will be back, sooner than we like, and you can bet on it. The money is simply too good for them not to be.
Trump had some help. Harris offered nothing and couldn't even do an interview. Her cackle when she got nervous didn't help her. I never saw any good policies or ideas. The Biden administration was so bad I figured their goal was the destruction of the country. Just recently Biden and comrades have been trying to sell the steel meant for the border fence, its replacement would double the costs. Trump ran a good campaign and I only worried about dominion voting machines and ballot stuffing of some sort. It was a relief that Harris lost. The next few months should be interesting.
I heard something about possibly DeSantis getting on Trump's team ,, if so ,, maybe he'd team up with Vance . Just a thought .
I hope not, not because I don't like him, I do, but because he is doing so much good in Florida and continues to do so. We need good governors as well as good people in the Federal slots.
You might not of heard of the CLUSTER F up here in Canastan !! Equals the last four of your years. Sloth
Trudeau needs to go! I think there are WEF types who wish for the destruction of the current system. (Cloward and Piven stuff)Something authoritarian like China has is the role model.
