I used to think it was an anti-corruption slogan, but Trump has set records for numbers of lobbyists appointed in a Presidential administration, so apparently that's not what you mean by it.

Or what actions / attitudes / attributes / behaviors would such a person exemplify?"I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

It's really weird that the two main suggestions from this thread are "drain the swamp" and "Donald Trump Jr.". What qualifications does Trump Jr. have beyond nepotism? Isn't nepotism basically the epitome of "swamp" politics?"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

What do you mean by continue to drain the swamp. Half of Trumps own people are either in prison, under investigation or indictment. You guys are such a hoot.
I should note that some of the indictments may have had merit -- but none of these would have been pursued if these folks had supported Dem candidates. Justice has not been blind here. And I think sufficient people have seen the crazy behavior of Pelosi and Schiff and so many others. As a result, Trump will probably be elected despite the Democrat's stuffing of ballot boxes.
There may have been some reasonable indictments of people that have helped Trump's campaign. Nor do I know that Trump is fully acting on everyone's benefit -- but he was the only one who would confront the swamp and even sport of it. Who else could have enjoyed exposing the swamp like this?
Do you actually think the fruitless Mueller investigation was anything less than overthrowing the election?
Do you think Schiff's claims about Trump's phone call with the Ukraine were honest? Do he sound like someone you want to make laws?
Are secret hearings against Trump proper? What basis was there for holding secret testimonies?
What would Congress and the US government look like without these hyper-partisan actions?
Back to the thread's question... what GOP candidate should be selected for 2024 to succeed Trump?Last edited by mikewhitney; 10-27-2019, 03:10 PM.

In being investigated, indicted and imprisoned, the swamp creatures who are misusing the justice system are being exposed. The Dems (most of the Dems in Congress) and the other swamp creatures in the FBI, DOJ, State Department and other areas have exposed their evil actions -- which only would have remained hidden if Trump hadn't been elected to office.
