IIRC, Trump character assassinated on Romney, McCain and a number of other Conservatives pretty hard himself.

Are you prepared to see your dwellings in flames… female chastity violated…children writhing on the pike?
*According to one supporter of John Adams, that’s what would happen if you vote for Thomas Jefferson.

The problem is this is hyperbole, this ticket isn’t what you are describing any more then the way the left is describing the right as racist and nazi’s. We need to stop all this extremist talk about the other side if we are ever going to get anywhere.
Covid may have been good for the Dems but these riots and the defund the police nonsense is unquestionably good for Trump.
Yep - I’m convinced that hardcore right and left don’t really want to admit it but they are voting for the ‘R’ or ‘D’ and the person really doesn’t matter. It’s easy to say you wouldn’t stand for certain behavior but we all know the only behavior they wouldn’t put up with would make then untenable to be the nominee - so basically they will put up with anything that isn’t bad enough to be removed as the head of the party.

Not a Tucker fan but this does contain one tidbit of relevance from the DNC:
"They’d like to do away with bail for criminals. But that’s just a start. For more, we’re going to go now to someone called "J Mai." You should know that J Mai's preferred pronouns are they/them. According to "their" biography at Wake Forest University, J Mai is, quote, a "Black-Vietnamese, transgender nonbinary/gender transcendent mermaid Queen-King currently living out their ever-evolving truths in Winston-Salem." Got it. OK. Now, listen:
J. MAI: Why can’t folks imagine a world without the Cops? Why can’t folks imagine a world without prisons. Why can't people expand their imaginations to include community care to include an abolitionist future. I'm talking about for real for real abolition, not DNC watered down abolition. We're talking about abolishing the police, we're talking about abolishing ICE, and we're talking about abolishing prisons."
Biden is not for defunding the police and I don't think Harris is either but there is far more truth in tying the current Democratic Party to defunding the police and certainly to abolishing ICE than there is to calling McCain George Wallace and Mitt Romney a slave trader

Why in the world would any conservative/trump supporter post here. Let alone expect honest or open dialog. You get the ban hammer almost instantly for criticizing democrats. The stuff I've seen allowed to go on here in the "name of fairness" is a joke. Tread lightly.

Please. Especially Romney
I am willing to overlook friendliness to Trump from Haley as long as she doesn't espouse Trumpism then when the other side is what it is, but I'd certainly prefer someone who held firm in opposing him.
Hogan isn't my top choice but I do hope he gets traction in the primaries and revitalizes the New England/eastern social liberal Republican wing

I think Romney would win an election today. He'd beat Biden. he'd definitely beat Trump.

There's pictures of him groping women online and direct racist quotes. I mean I guess you could twist those things around if you want.

Odd to want honest dialog and then lie immediately about what hets you banned here.

Because they aren’t actual facts....other than having seen Biden in government for decades.
but most here ignore these facts

It's amazing how bad this country got to the Republicans under Trumps regime. You'd almost think he was the challenger and Biden the incumbent.

I thought this guy was going to say Donald Trump saved him on the hill.
I am not a Trump supporter but I have torn into Democrats way more than into Trump (and probably would have voted for him had Liz the Indian Warrior or Comrade Bernie been the Dem nominee) and though there are some of the bot like hateful shills I think most responses have been positive. You have a point on the divisveness for sure but from my experience if you have evidence and well reasoned points backing your views you can mitigate that

If you can’t see the hyperbole and extremism directed from each side at the other I’m not sure what to tell ya, other then have a good night.

Just like “locker room” talk was ignored and even defended.

Then don't make things up and expect people not to point out false claims. Clear your intention here os to stir crap up...then complain about how bad the place is on the other board (also a place you wont ever have to worry about me posting at).
Oh no I agree with you on the hyperbole (calling Obama a socialist for 8 years gets you Bernie for example—though I think Republicans have learned the lesson in part: thankfully don’t see many calling Biden a socialist directly for example)
Just saying defunding the police isn’t a fringe movement in the Democratic Party

Actually “defunding” and not reducing funding and shifting services is actually a fringe position in the party.

The biggest problem with this Convention is that Trump so wants it to be about the Trumps. The PA Politican, the man who lost his daughter, the Democrat who endorsed him, Herschel Walker, the nurse....all decent human, relatable stories.
Juxtapose that with Gaetz, Jordan, Guilfoyle, Bonnie and Clyde and that weird, uncomfortable meet and greet with the POTUS

Literally read the quote from a DNC speaker
A truly fringe position doesn’t get advocated for at the party’s convention
That said I agree that Biden has a sensible mainstream outlook on this issue
sho nuff
Footballguy
What was the actual quote...that is my point. And yes, Biden, as the candidate has been clear that it isn’t what he supports.

Kind of surprised FOX still puts up with Chris Wallace.
Romney has enough MAGA core believers to stop him in a primary unfortunately and not enough Dems—“centrist” as they may try to call themselves—ready to actually vote for a Republican (even a moderate one)
But I agree he (or Haley for that matter) would beat Biden in 2024. Wouldn’t be a given with incumbency advantage (Obama and Bush had objectively below average first terms and still won re election), but Biden will likely deal with a full out recession in his first term (with stocks/real estate market crashing and unemplyoment ballooning when the pandemic ends and some of these jobs have been permanently replaced).
Not to mention the issue of his cognitive decline will be even greater then when the metric of comaprison is an articulate, intelligent diplomatic center right option (assuming it’s not a Trump wannabe) who would trounce him in a debate (and Haley or Romney would) and could possibly expand the Republican base rather than just energize the existing one—instead of Trump

Surprised Haley is speaking here. She has a future that can only be tarnished if she sucks up to Trump too much.
