Wish trump's 'motivation' would not be described as 'combat'. It's bullying. He's either being 'victimized', or looking for someone to bully. It's NOT combat.

Thanks.

I would love to see him flounder away and self combust. Grew up outside NYC, he was always in the news and couldn’t stand the lying, bullying, man-child. How he won in 2016 still stuns me. Yes, I understand how it happened but can’t fathom that anyone would vote for him. Good God, if he’s elected again we have more problems than we can even imagine. Someone else needs to win the primary, for the country’s sake.

Sort of boring, Chris? His shtick of being a bully has been around publicly for decades and has always been infantile.

The Insurrectionist-In-Chief's core support comes from whites with self-inflicted victimhood terrified of "the colored people" increasing power economically and politically.

Can’t stand Trump, but I don’t know that I agree with this analysis. Trump’s 2016 campaign had a message - he was going to make America great by building a wall and making Mexico pay for it, get rid of Obamacare and replace it with something unknown but great, and get rid of foreign trade agreements to revive American manufacturing. Of course these were mostly empty slogans with little or no backup in policy once he was elected but in his one successful campaign he did have an actual message.

Interesting that his opponents are kind of waiting around ... it’s early, but I wonder if they are just letting him flounder

He's a mean, vindictive, petty man, and those are the best things that can be said about him. We all know that the person he's itching to go after is Governor DeSantis of Florida. That will be downright nasty (just like the Donald himself).

If he drops out, it will certainly be someone else's fault.

What is the title of your book? It didn’t work when I clicked on the link.
