Please President Trump, Don’t Make Netanyahu’s Mistake
I hope Trump does not make Netanyahu’s mistake.
The reason a leftist government came to power in Israel was due to Netanyahu’s ego. There would have been a conservative government if Netanyahu had been willing to cede leadership of the Likud party to someone else. But his ego prevented him from doing that. And this same scenario is likely to unfold in the upcoming elections in Israel.
Now in the US, we see the same potential disaster in the making. Don’t get me wrong, Israelis love Trump. He moved the US embassy to Jerusalem, tore up the Iran deal, and has grandkids who attend a Jewish day school. But if he would pass the mantle of leadership to DeSantis, there is a much better chance of conservatives retaking the White House in two years and, who knows, maybe both houses of Congress this November, which would be truly beneficial for Israel, to say nothing of the US.

No politician is better situated to point out that things would be better under his administration than under Biden’s than Trump who just had an administration under which things were better!
Election skeptic = someone who is skeptical that elections exist.
Election denier = someone who denies that elections exist.
Don’t you think it’s a bit dishonest to refer to those positions as “election denier” and “election skeptic?”
Note that the iconic Trump caps don’t say “Trump”, they say “Make America Great Again”. That’s because the election isn’t about Trump, it’s about returning the government to the people.
Meanwhile the Biden caps say… well… to tell the truth I haven’t actually ever seen anybody wearing a Biden cap. And I live in a crazy liberal town.
If anybody else is the nominee, they’ll be Kavanaughed, Borked, Thomased, or Romneyed, and the Biden policies won’t get mentioned. Cuz that’s how it works.
You use the word Denier to make an association with Holocaust Deniers.
And that is vile and offensive.
And you will be gang-flagged every time you do it.
Thus you want Biden to win.
Gary please talk about the policies which make it imperative that you vote for Democrats.
I’m not asking about your acceptance of the existence of Santa Claus. I’m referring to your bumper-sticker phraseology.
You evaded my question: Are you a Trump denier?
Only if Trump is the Republican Nominee. If anyone else is the Republican nominee, I will vote for that person.
I think I’ve seen some caps that say “FJB” and “Let’s Go Brandon” but I don’t know what they mean.
In 2012, there was one public figure who said that Obama has cheated to win against Romney, who called for a revolution and called for folks to descend on Washington DC. That was Trump. In other words, Trump was an election denier as to the 2012 election!
I am faithful to the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the ratification of the Constitution in 1787. The Rule of Law is why I must vote against Trump, and Trump endorsed primary candidates who are all election deniers.
You will vote for Joe Biden. Again.
You support the man no matter how unconstitutional he is.
That is foolish.
That is silly.
Rule of law?
Biden breaks them but you will vote for him.
Rationalization and denial. Old friends.
I do not deny that Trump won the 2016 election. I deny that Trump won the 2020 election.
Only if Trump is the Republican nominee. Just don’t nominate Trump and you have my vote.
See? You keep using meaningless Rorschach bumper-sicker phrases. Contrary to your thinking, the election happened. And it was corrupt. And you go on corrupting the language. Communists do that. The Left leans on that. And Reagan never did.
You own your actions Gary. You supported Biden already without all this “Denier” nonsense, which, frankly, is quite offensive. It is an attempt to tar anyone questioning the election as no better than an anti-Semite. That is what the term is used for when tacked on to things, and if you don’t know that, you are being ignorant as well as foolish.
I respectfully disagree. See “LOST, NOT STOLEN: ‘The Conservative Case that Trump Lost and Biden Won the 2020 Presidential Election’” at https://ricochet.com/1285677/lost-not-stolen-the-conservative-case-that-trump-lost-and-biden-won-the-2020-presidential-election/
Trump does that every time he labels someone who disagrees with him as to even the slightest degree as a “RINO.”
May we have a restoration of the Party of Reagan.
I supported Biden based upon the entire scope of the Trump Presidency. The rightness of my vote has been confirmed by the Trump Big Lie and the January 6th Insurrection.
“Policies.”
You still won’t do it.
We did. From 2016 to 2020. What you really want is the Party of Bushes.
My policy is “The Rule of Law” and adherence to the Constitution of the United States. That is fundamental and undergirds all other political issues.
I respectfully disagree. I remember Reagan. I voted for Reagan. I revere Reagan. And Trump, you are no Reagan.
If you are ever out in the LA area, might I suggest that you spend time at the Reagan Presidential Library.
Amusing. If you really cared about the rule of law and the Constitution, you wouldn’t be voting for Democrats.
The Democrats are terrible about many policies. Their student loan give-away is a good example of that. I believe that it violates the spirit if not the letter of Article I.
But the Democrats have not attempted an insurrection, as Trump did on January 6, 2021.
RINO — Republican in name only — has real meaning. Claiming that others are denying that elections occurred is irrational poppycock. Using irrational jargon to slander your perceived enemies is a very bad behavior. And probably a violation of the CoC here on Ricochet, if not on the bullwerk, or whatever Never publications you read.
True that.
I was never called a RINO until Trump appeared on the scene. RINO now means someone who has even the slightest disagreement with Trump. Now I think I am called a RINO almost every day.
Maybe that’s when you changed to voting for Democrats. And this raises a good question. Did you vote for Trump in 2016? Or did you vote for president at all? Or did you vote for a non-contender like McMullen?
