Pretty straightforward. If you wish to qualify who you would chose and why I would be interested in reading it. I'd also be curious as to whom you might think would be the ideal running mate. [Reply]

And I don't believe you support Ron Paul because I watch him regularly, and through multiple presidencies and he saw through the TDSers like yourself, even when he voiced some criticism of Trump which was not across the board like you do. Paul thought the impeachments were both bogus.
If Trump did something you don't consider Constitutional, it was probably just the same things done previously for decades, since it's been eroded over time. So he followed certain things as they came to be considered Constitutional and allowable. But his admin was still largely Constitutional. No president is as Constitutional as Ron Paul is and I doubt you certain are.
Besides that, Paul has been critical of the Covid vaccines, the mandates, the masks and the draconian handlings for Covid which you are not.
I've been highly supportive of the vaccine. The rest of that is bogus. [Reply]

Senators don't usually have executive experience but they run.
It's not a pro-Trump statement at all. It's just an acknowledgement of the current state of affairs.
The manipulations that were done by the Dems, and allowed by the courts, won't be available for the Dems again.
Biden was completely irrelevant. The 2020 election was about "Orange man bad!" and voting manipulation. And it would never have worked without the Wu Flu warping everything.
Lack of national experience
Similar, though lesser, aggressive approach to opposition
Lack of a sufficient national following
I'm not a Trumper. Trump is far too much to the left for my tastes, he's too willing to cave to his opponents because he'd rather have a bad deal than no deal, I find many of his social positions to be dangerous to the country, I don't buy his "I'll lock the front door, but open the back door" approach to immigration as a viable solution. And so on.
But only fools think 2020 was a normal election where you take the normal lessons from it.
Thank you. Its hard to read where people come from on here sometimes. The contingent who buys the "stolen election" and still sees it as Trump won seems to be growing smaller as time goes on. If Trump is going to run and makes that one of his main themes that tactic will fail. IMHO
Biden is only relevant in that Trump lost because of Trumps ability to beat himself due to his lack of control. He blew Georgia runoff all to hell . [Reply]

I know you can't make up the astounding lack of information leading to such ignorance to call a man who claimed to be libertarian as being a conservative—one who votes with the Democrats and suffered from TDS and who's grip on the Constitution was questionable at times.

The voters were pissed and talking about sitting it out without regard to what Trump was saying. They were livid about the actions and comments of the state's top republicans. And the candidates themselves were a huge part of the problem. And then there was the issue of the stimulus checks, and the fact that Trump told voters to vote in the special elections, not to skip them.
Trying to blame Trump is just a part of your TDS.
Stacy Abrams got 600k voters to request mail in ballots for the runoff. Clearly they all went one way.

Give him the next term to raise his profile to a full national level, and to show that he remains consistently on the "freedom over government and Americans over foreigners" track. If he can do that, he'll be a very difficult candidate to beat. [Reply]
