Probably.  But I though talking in terms they could relate to was a decent start.

Was not a “decent start”.

Yes, if Biden had the border under control, not more than one proxy war and inflation under control Trump wouldn’t have anything to run on.  The Republicans would have seen Turmp’s way of doing thing were not better than what Biden has done and another Republican candidate could have made a push.

As it stands Biden wiped out all of Trump’s EOs and policies and is doing poorly, giving Trump the opening he wanted.  It still will come down to how Trump is perceived by independents.  Both Iowa and NH voters has said the border issue is the #1 issue the are concerned with and Biden is doing exactly what he wants at the border.

I just listened to his New Hampshire speech.  He hardly mentioned any of that.  He spent the entire time hurling falsehoods and personal insults.  Par for the course with the man.  Then he let Vivek get up and do his little bit of public worship.  They both lied again about the 2020 election.  Of course, his crowd eats it up.  He even went on and on about some nonsense about mentally ill people being poured over the border.  He gets to say anything, because no Republican in the room will do anything other than be a yes man.

If you read it here it should be easy to reproduce. I am guessing you mis understood the statement or did not follow the context or intent.

Sovereign God is my belief but your conversation with the friend at dinner is weirdo land. Of course the agnostic or anti God group eat up those stories as commonplace. 

It was one person (her husband looked… uncomfortable) and obviously it’s not mainstream. 

My point is fanaticism has penetrated  everywhere.  Democrats with socialism/ communism (sorry, “European socialism”), republicans with authoritarianism (sorry, making us great), civil rights with too many nutty acronyms to list, and religion having rabid nationalistic factions. 

I agree with bill  Maher - elections are becoming more about  addressing radicalism than ideology.

You are probably right.  It's impossible for me to relate to fascist cultists.

I just pointed out why Republicans think Trump can win.  I was hoping DeSantis would emerge as that person with no baggage and good ideas.  He was, in my opinion, the right person.  It is obvious most Republicans want to, as DeSantis put it, give Trump another shot at getting things right.

I didn’t say it was the Democrats fault Trump is running, I said if Biden was a more successful President we might see another Republican candidate in the lead.  Biden has proven Trump’s policies were working and Republicans want those policies back.  They believe Trump is the only one that can do this as he has done it before.  The field was down to 4 just before Iowa and now down to 2 in NH.

It really mirrors what the Dems were going through in 2020 after South Carolina.  It’s ashame we are left with these two candidates.

Dem strategists quietly are gleeful about running against Trump. Haley and even Desantis would have been a much tougher task against a diminishing Biden.
