Is anyone suppose to feel sorry for Nicki Haley trillionaire military industrial complex donors?
I don't think it's about feeling sorry for Haley....it's about Trump actively turning off potential voters he will need in the general
Voters of Haley might as well be democrats.
I have voted Republican for years, but I will not vote for Trump or Biden. Marginalizing Trump's opponents will not get people like me to vote for Trump, nor to vote for Biden. It will just drive us from the Republican Party.
I look at the policies offered by each candidate and Haley's are the best. Trump doesn't address the issues. He just states he will fix them in a few days. I admit he fixed the border issues in his time in office but he skyrocketed the national debt and he laid the foundation for inflation to explode. He also played a part in the Jan 6 debacle.
I suggest you folks quit calling people names and look at the platforms of the candidates. It is time for new generational leadership in the USA.
This is the only valid criticism any of you never-Trumpers have actually given
You serious, Clark? LOL.
Posted this on another thread. There are plenty of legitimate criticisms of Trump:
As a fiscal conservative who believes we are burdening our children (and potentially making this country unlivable for future generations), his economic policies were terrible. He promised he was going to cut the deficit, only to increase it more than any other president in history. And while you might try to argue COVID was responsible for that, his spending habits prior to COVID were atrocious. He spent like a drunk liberal.
His claim Mexico would build a border wall and Mexico would pay for it was a total fabrication. A miniscule portion of the wall was ever completed, and it was funded by our taxpayers. Again, you might say, well that's because of the Dems, but sorry, when you make a promise, and repeat it over and over to the American people, you better deliver. Trump completely failed on that front. Our border is as porous as ever.
His COVID policies were a disaster. Rushing to make a vaccine and get people injected with something experimental in nature (of which, I believe we are now seeing the repercussions), and then allowing the govt. to mandates vaccines, was terrible. It would have been hard for him to have handled COVID worse than he did.
And while not a policy issue, his inability to behave like an adult is a huge concern that cost him the election, IMO. If he had the ability to behave like a decent human being, and quit with the social media tirades and self-aggrandizing that rubbed every moderate and independent the wrong way, I have no doubt he would have beaten Biden. But his inability to do so is what lost him the 2020 election, IMO.
His feckless indifference to constitutional norms is alarming. His behavior surrounding the 2020 election was absolutely shameful, and while I don't believe it rises to the level of the constitutional crisis that Dems have tried to make it, it was absolutely shameful what he did.
Trump's position post-2020 on abortion and his criticism of the SC leaving it to the states leaves a lot to be desired.
And now, in the unlikely event he wins, we are going to get an even worse, vindictive Trump.
Is he still better than Biden? Yes. Did he have some good policies? Yes. I especially like his foreign policy. But Trump left a hell of a lot to be desired.
