Some day very soon a lot of folks are going to wake up and realize this guy they think is some uber patriot, tribune of the people is nothing but a two bit reality TV huckster with the half baked ideas of Jimmy Carter and the imperial grandiose and lawlessness of Richard Nixon.

These populists more or less say out loud that they believe it's time to do all the things they believe the left has done all along because the left is winning and the right is losing and we can't be hamstrung by refusing to play the game the way it's played. So, it's pretty

It's almost like, I don't know, experience really does matter and character really is destiny.

Man, this has sure been a lot of on the job training for a guy in his second term leading a country.

Real men don't talk this way.

@JustinWStapley You are not a man. A man knows women were not created to lead and the only thing that comes from women leading is hell. I take it your mommy's little angel?

I'm getting kind of tired of this notion that any strategy short of Cheney's and Kinzinger's light-your-hair-on-fire-and-torch-your-political-career-to-show-how-anti-trump-you-are strategy is being an unprincipled sellout. The path toward a conservative renewal lies in regaining

RT @NewReaganCaucus: This.

The MAGA populists want nothing more than for classical conservatives to act embarrassed and hide the fact that we would have preferred another candidate, such as Haley or DeSantis, over Trump. They think that because Trump beat Harris, that makes them right and makes us

Nikki Haley is a traditional Republican politician. And, traditional Republican politicians have long played the game under the understanding that by running for the Republican nomination, they are agreeing to endorse the eventual Republican nominee, no matter who it is. And it

@JustinWStapley Got a better idea. Pick someone who didn't abandon her values and throw her support to Trump. Integrity isn't something you turn on and off.

Clearmindedness on Russia, clear support for Israel, respect for the rule of law, no disastrous tariffs, no pen and phone governance. When looking ahead to our choices in 2028, think carefully about where we're at now and where we could have been had we made 2024 about https://t.co/sUnWCiGtYN

What the MAGA populist argument seems to be boiling down to these days is "The Constitution/due process/habeas corpus/checks and balances/the rule of law all allowed (insert terrible thing here) to happen, so if you are for those things you are for (insert terrible thing here).

Yes, the due process that allowed Trump to avoid prison and become the President of the United States again. That very due process.

@JustinWStapley You mean the due process that Trump received? The unconstitutional lawfare in NYC, trying to stop us from electing who we choose. That due process? And when that didn’t work, trying to assassinate Trump, to try and hold onto power. That due process?

May we someday return to the decorum befitting the office first held by Washington, the foremost patriot and the consummate gentleman. https://t.co/9wg6UlezOQ

We had a choice, GOP.

We chose poorly. https://t.co/6y8flXvRiO

If we truly appreciated just how much of a bulwark due process of law was for securing our liberties, we would never entertain for a second any breach of due process for anyone for any reason. Process, at the end of the day, is all that actually separates us from arbitrary

But even now, what's so concerning is that Putin could just give President Trump a new plane, and they'd be back to being best buds again. It's an unfortunate fact to confront, but we simply do not have clear-minded and principled leadership at the helm right now. Hopefully, in

Ah...Pres. Trump is at last approaching the understanding of Putin that Nikki Haley would have brought to the White House on Day 1.
