  Broken record.

    I agree, that also. Constantly going on about superficial crowd size nonsense and his 2020 election lies.

    What does that even mean? We’re supposed to find new flaws to call out about Trump rather than recounting the most obvious serious ones?

  “Just run someone we won’t call mean names” is an impossible demand, because Democrats will never stop calling conservatives these things.

  Not to say that Trump is the best Republicans have, he certainly is not. But the MSM would just say the same thing about the next guy. We’re already seeing this with how JD Vance is getting treated.

  Ted Cruz, one of my favorite presidential candidates, would never survive the current left wing media landscape. Neither would Vivek Ramaswamy or Rick Santorum, some of my other favorite presidential candidates.

    Pretty absurd to say Democrats call people “mean names” given this list of “mean names” trump has used over the years: en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_nicknames_used_by_Dona…

      Not really. Trump calling people names doesn’t disprove that others have called him names.

        Sure. Nobody was trying to prove that. However, whining about it in his support is hypocrisy.

        This is the level of political discourse we’ve sunk to? Complaining about name calling? How pathetic.

    They’re not just names, unless you are deliberately ignoring reality.

    He’s not even a conservative. He just wants to shovel as much money as he can into his own pockets. He’s stealing classified documents. He’s completely unfit.

      They’re not just names

      They mostly are, they are mostly just mean names propped up by lies/conspiracy theories. The tactics used by the MSM against Trump and a bully or abusive parent are almost identical.

      He’s not even a conservative. He just wants to shovel as much money as he can into his own pockets. He’s stealing classified documents. He’s completely unfit.

      The one thing we agree on is that Trump is not a conservative, so I’ll take that common ground with you. He is comically farther to the left than almost anybody in the MAGA camp.

        Mean names like “felon” and “rapist” and “insurrectionist” and “traitor”? Those sorts of mean names.

        What about MSM like Fox

    So you’re just a terrible person? Got it.

    And no, this doesn’t prove your point. You could have mentioned old school McCain and I wouldn’t be thinking you’re a terrible person, but the current Republican climate only lets the loudest, most hateful people rise their ranks. There are some stinkers in the Democrat’s ranks, but I can’t think of a single Republican of note that isn’t terrible.

      It’s amazing that anyone in the world can look at gigantic losers and pricks like Jim Jordan and think “oh yeah! Definitely voting for that guy”

      If McCain were running, the MSM would be saying horrible shit about him.

        I remember when he did run, before Palin was picked as his running mate, he tried to keep things civil.

        Maybe you’re too young or too old to remember McCain going against a support of his when they called Obama an Arab. Could you ever imagine Trump doing that? Especially when his was the loudest one on the whole “birther” movement.

        Like saying he wasn’t a war hero since he got captured? Which is still better than dying since only “losers” and “suckers” get killed in war.

    He couldn’t survive Trump insulting his wife and calling him a liar.

      Which was tame compared to what he would have gone through had he gone the distance. He would have been hit with rape allegations if he won the nomination.
