You were 100% clear, could not have been clearer. What you stated was an observable fact.

The problem is not with what you wrote but with people who cannot separate their feelings from reality. These people perceive anything that can be remotely construed as something negative toward "their guy" as a personal affront that cannot stand. They are driven by emotion and hysteria.

The left is filled with these sorts of people, their feelings rule their lives. I've been surprised by how the Trump/DeSantis thing has showed just how many on our side are no different.

Any republican candidate who is not righteously angry at what the US government, not just Biden, the US government, is doing to us is not part of the solution.

Jon, I agree completely. That’s why DeSantis lost me..when he was silent on the Mar-a-lago raid.

AND Tim Scott immediately responded that he wanted to see what the FBI had on Trump before he termed it a politically motivated hit. C'mon Man! first reaction should be...OF COURSE it's a political hit, they'd have to PROVE otherwise!!! Senator Tim, playing it "safe" isn't wise or even possible--You are the definition of Betrayal to the Commies of Color in our nation. WISE UP and speak out.

Yes, throwing tantrums is always a great way to solve problems.

There's a difference between being angry about something and reacting emotionally to every interaction. The latter is what toddlers do.

We can be angry and channel that into rationale, constructive actions, rather then getting all bent out of shape because someone said something we didn't like.

It was a child who said the emperor had no clothes.

I think this is one reason so many hate Trump. He points out the obvious lies too many do not want to see or hear.

There was once a so called Republican who said speak softly and carry a big stick.

I don't care how loudly a president speaks as long as he uses the big stick.

I disagree with your premise. Trump is the only one who can bring down the evil corrupted establishment. No more nice guys!! DeSantis has a lot to learn still in this dangerous political climate. Trump has taken the blows. He needs to finish the job or we are all screwed!!
