I am not sure where you got the idea that I want Trump to be my "bestie". I was simply and strictly critiquing his qualities as a leader. And in that, he is sorely lacking.
And as I said, I voted for him twice and will do so again, assuming he is on the ticket. Now, if he picks a VP that is a gun grabber or worse (Tulsi Gabbard and Nikki Haley come to mind) I might sit this one out.
As for his desperate need for validation, it is from whom he seeks validation that is the crux of the problem. If some poser, (and there were many in 45's White House) gives Trump the pat on the back, the atta boy, your doing AWESOME Donny boy, he gives them positions of power and they undermine the MAGA agenda.
One other thing, if Jared Kushner is still Trump's #1 adviser I will be inclined to sit it out as well. Plus, since I am in a blue state with all mail voting, my vote won't be worth s***.
But the larger point I was making was that if we are to prevent the Commies from taking this country completely (and I can make a very good case that they already have) DJT just isn't the man for the job. We will need someone more resolute and less in need of constant stroking.
I didn't mean to imply that, M. Griffith. Sorry I miswrote a general complaint I have about voters in general who vote on personality, or only if a candidate is perfect.
I just don't see him picking Haley or Gabbard.
But, respectfully and imo, I do think you commit a common error of assuming the non-politician, private sector person of 2016 is unchanged/uneducated by being chewed up, taken advantage of, and spit out by our overbearing, Fascist/Commie State. Is it out of the realm of possibilty that DJT will be better advised?
What did Kushner do that was so egregious?
Also, please vote! Final totals matter, even in a loss!! Is this why the Dems have been winning the popular vote tally, because people throw up their hands and withdraw their vote?
You, our host, and most posters/readers in this forum might be completely right, but I still don't think so. I still think the un-capturable DJT is our teflon warhorse.
Not positive but I don't think yet. Keep in mind Eric Holder was found in contempt of congress two or three times, was never prosecuted by the Trump DOJ.
Other Dems have done the same without consequence.
Until the R's figure out they have to play hard ball and play for keeps this will keep happening. Easy prediction. The R's will never figure it out so we are essentially doomed. They are going to put Trump in prison for something.
Until red state D.A's. begin to start charging Dem's for all sorts of things, even if, no especially if, it isn't true, and then imprisoning said Dem', this lawfare on R's won't stop.
Another easy prediction. They won't stop with Trump. He is only the appetizer. They will do this to ANYONE who threatens the system that all the Dem's and most of the R's serve.

Looks like Jared won't even be #100.

But, until November 5, my mind is open...
Read this piece by Peter Navarro on the damage that Kushner did to the Trump agenda. Kushner was constantly pulling DJT to the left.

Thank you. I remember reading that article now. Yes, Kushner is a worry, especially as family.
But, there will be many newer and better advisors, and Kushner is now not an unknown.
Do you happen to know if Navarro is still, or will be, on the Trump team? You don't need to respond, I can research.
Sentenced to 4 months in federal prison for contempt of congress.
Already served?
