  • GOP Candidate for 2024

    Is there any person in the GOP that will be able to continue draining the swamp in 2024 after Trump leaves office?

        Ted Cruz, perhaps?

            Can you explain this phrase?

            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. So what do you mean by it? What could we measure to determine if someone was draining the swamp? Or what actions / attitudes / attributes / behaviors would such a person exemplify?

                you first have to show where the corruption is and I think Trump has shown it which is why those corrupted non elected officials are bieng investigated. Now that we know where the corruption is we can start draining the swamp.

                    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?

                      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.

                        This is great. They are heroes -- sometimes accidentally but often accepting of the sacrifice. 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.

                        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?

                          So many of Mike's posts on this forum make it sound like he lives in some sort of parallel universe completely divorced from any reality of this one. It's quite stunning.

                            The people living in the parallel Fake News reality are those who keep telling us that 'Trump is going down, this time, really!!!' That means you.
                            Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

                              It is pretty weird. I am wondering how people can be freed from viewing the world through propaganda. Kids today are not learning to think. They are being taught how to close off discussion by calling people of traditional knowledge as bigots, racists or nazis. This is an aspect of mind control or brainwashing. People always need to be open to free discussion. That is why it is good some people like you are here. Maybe we will get you back to true knowledge too. That would be amazing.
