If he wins the 2024 nomination I will write in Will Seemore again.

One needs separate personal and business... that goes for feeling as well. Chinese steel sucks... had seen bars with drywall screws inbedded in them. My suppliers know not to send it on truck... North American U.S. or Canadain all I'll take. Machines better welds better. Don't flash rust from just looking at it.
A protest vote is no vote at all... look at what we ended up with.

I know Chinese steel sucks, and so does Chinese aluminum. I don't care if it was free, I would not take it. The issue was the way the mills and wholesalers gamed the system to price gouge and turned around and blamed tariffs on items that were domestic or foreign that were not subject to the new tariffs. It was damn near two years of BS till things went back to normal with who I bought from. It created volatility that jammed everybody up. I would just usually estimate price and delivery on material without calling when quoting jobs, that went out the window and I wasn't the only one, so my vendors got slammed with calls and didn't hire extra staff to cover them. When government takes on large businesses the end customer ends up paying the price.

The trouble with that is "R Candidate" can say it... but will they do it. With Trump there was little doubt... And as we see now once a sack has been seated we can not recall it... and if they pick a toxic twice and bad shit VP. That adds to the reluctance to act. You think for a moment if the VP at this time was Tulsi Gabbard. Joe ass would be on track for the 25th or impeachment. The Ho is Joe's handlers stopgap. His handlers are happy to give Joe his marching orders... and Joe is to seneil to realize he a fool. The Ho knows she be a puppet... and really does not want the job. Where as Tulis would be pushing the paperwork to 25th his feeble minded ass by now. And cut the puppeteers strings.
Also to you all that claim Trump would torch it all... BS. You all sound like the left with its Trump will start wars and alienate our allies other such nonsense. None of that happened till stabble Joe got seated.
Trump wants America to Prosper for all Americans to succeed. He's not as petty as most politicians. He did not start a thrid party and will not run an Independent. His love of the US will not do it.

I think the republicans would demolish the democrats no matter how bad the demographics and no matter how many votes they steal if they came up with someone like that.

Not to the 74+ million people who can appreciate the mindset of a General George Smith Patton Jr...."Old Blood and Guts"
“When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can’t run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn’t fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag. As for the types of comments I make, sometimes I just, By God, get carried away with my own eloquence.” – General Patton
Don't forget, don't cave...the election was RIGGED!!

There were just a lot of people in the middle that couldn't take another 4 years of Trump vs the media etc.. So they settled for the early stage senility of Biden instead. I have friends that are republicans that voted for Biden because they couldn't take it anymore. I'm not sure how they feel about it now, but they told me who they voted for.

So, your friends played right into the hands of the demonic, cheating Demos...how courageous of them.
Why not ASK them how they feel about their stupidity now?

I still think a different person with same policies would have won.

Until Trump, there was no one with the same policies and with the guts to enforce them; so, who would have been your pick? Maybe your 'friends' know.
