This is to force twitter to let Trump back on when he announces his candidacy which I expect will be between now and July 4th. I stand with my prediction -- he won't actually run. He'll tease it, talk about it, keep saying he will...but never do it. What he will do is suck up all the oxygen and kneecap whoever is the GOP nominee. I expect him to even encourage a floor fight if the nominee doesn't slurp him constantly. Running for President takes effort. Donny Two Scoops doesn't do effort. He'll just Tweet, distract and rant away from Mar-A-Lago.

Will he just say "he's considering running" at these events? Maybe, but I doubt it. He's got his lackeys and sycophants to do the heavy lifting. All he has to do is his stand up routine across the country in airplane hangers where his private jet goes. That's not much effort for him and he gets off on it.

Yeah...about that. https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/politics/trump-757-repairs-gold-plated-glory-days/index.html He's not going to run for one reason and one reason alone -- he's too scared to lose again.

It's virtually impossible for Biden or any democrat to win GA or AZ even if the won 99% of the vote since the legislature now has the power to overturn the popular vote in each state. Trump just needs a few more states to enact similar laws and he's in business.

But, it won't be close enough for a couple states to matter. If you made me bet on running, dead, or in jail -- I'd bet on dead.
May 25, 20214 yr CVON "conservatives”: the government has too much power! We need a small, limited government! Government needs to stop regulating businesses! Also CVON "conservatives”: We need the government to take away the right to freedom of association from private companies!

We're kind of past the point in history where repubs have to pretend like the "free market" can fix everything. They need to start behaving like dems when they get in power, and start using the power of the government to punish their enemies.

May 25, 20214 yr I thought it would be higher actually... Quote Most Republicans believe that Donald Trump is still the rightful president and that the results of the 2020 election were tarnished by illegal voting, according to a new Reuters-Ipsos poll released on Tuesday. The survey found that just over half of Republicans — 53 percent —think that Trump remains the "true president,” despite losing to President Biden last year by roughly 7 million votes nationally. Even more — 61 percent — believe either strongly or somewhat that the 2020 election was "stolen” from the former president

Guess what, you’re an out-of-the-closet liberal!! No it's not. lib·er·al·ism /ˈlib(ə)rəˌlizəm/ See definitions noun 1. willingness to respect or accept behaviour or opinions different from one's own; openness to new ideas. 2. a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise. What you're describing is the opposite of liberalism. You're describing Socialism. oh wait, I forgot. They've become the same thing. Carry on Dave.

So when someone mentions liberalism, or talks about being a liberal, you think they’re talking about advocating for individual rights? No wonder you’re so confused in this forum. (Tbf, you’re not the only one). Socialism is when the government controls businesses or even entire industries. You should take a political science class.

Your previous answer was the government will fix things and make everything better. That's essentially putting everything in the hands of the government just like the other socialist countries do. When you transfer the source of power from the people to the state, you've failed. That's the point I'm making not some straw man about supporting equality. Individual rights and liberties as a priority must include everyone equally under the laws the people put forth, not what an Oligarchy wants. You seem to prefer big brother to a Constitutional Representative Republic. Maybe you could examine your preferences more closely. You should take a political science class.

Classical liberalism is not the same thing as modern liberalism. You’re taking the Enlightenment definition and trying to say that’s what liberalism is in 2021. It’s not. Before Trump liberals tended to favor big government (or the government offering solutions i.e. the New Deal). Conservatives tended to favor limited government (or laissez-faire policies). Of course that was before you guys went full authoritarian with Trump leading a dystopian neo-fascist government.
