I don’t know if there’s an R out there I wouldn’t vote for before Trump.
Wonder if the rest of the country is feeling like this board. If so ole BDR is gonna get a boost.
Probably. And I’ll vote for him in the general. Just not gonna facilitate the clown show until I have to take the lesser of two evils. Right, gator?
Toss up btw Vivek and DeSantis as of today... as with DJT, I like an outsider that will shake things up, and VR is full of these ideas.
I like that BDR has experience running a gov't entity / legislature like being the Gov of a state, but it's just hard to get enthusiastic about him. I think W might have generated more passion than Ron... he's sort of like watching paint dry.
Maybe Haley last... just a NO on Christine and his healthy lifestyle (doesn't that say something about your self discipline / respect to let yourself get that big?)...? Scott doesn't have the chops IMO.
Whoever is the 'R' will get my vote... probably DJT if I were a betting man.

We'll find out pretty quickly with the results in Iowa whether or not Trump will be the nominee. If he wins it easily, he'll go on to be the nominee with little resistance.
If DeSantis wins Iowa, it very well may change the opinions of a lot of people that just assume Trump is inevitable. Then we'll have an interesting primary.
I don't believe the polls in Iowa showing Trump up 20/30/40 points at all. DeSantis has an extremely strong ground game there, and now has the Iowa governor going all in for him (who is very popular among Republicans). I think the internals show a much different picture in Iowa than the public polls.

From an Iowan’s perspective, although Gov Reynolds is very popular, the hard core Trumpers (and there’s a LOT of them) won’t budge in their support. Barring the unforeseen knuckleball, he will not only win Iowa but the nomination as well. On another note, when abortion access has become the rallying cry for the progressive left, it does not bode well for the health of our republic…..not to mention the health of our unborn future.
It's why the worst case scenario for Trump in Iowa is a narrow loss, there's that 25-35% that will vote against their own beliefs for Trump and put their fingers in their ears when anybody tries to explain the facts to them. It's obviously an uphill battle if one person is starting with a 35% floor in a more than 2 way race. It's also frustrating that the media is all in for Trump getting the primary nomination.
I just can’t take Vivek seriously… dude has flip flopped more in the last year than most politicians do in a lifetime. He also just comes across as extremely unlikable. There’s also a strong chance he chokes on Trump’s dick before the first primary and isn’t even around to run…
At least if you’re a Republican they’re having a caucus, the Democrats are going all in on mail in and waiting to announce the results until Super Tuesday…..such respect for their voters 🙄
Don't fall into the trap of reading what the lamestream media is putting out there concerning VR and 'flipflopping'...
I read PolitiFact's point's on him supposedly flipflopping, and it reads more like he clarified an earlier policy or position that they are calling a flip flop. There have been a number of instances where some news agency releases something he reportedly said, but in fact he didn't and then goes back after these false claims so they can accuse of him FFing.
I find him smart, engaging and very smooth. I've watched a number of podcasts, interviews, etc... and he pounds on the same subjects the same way time after time. I think he's likable, but that doesn't really matter to me as I voted for Trump twice, and he's about as likeable as a cobra.
Reminds me too much of obama. Gotta go with DeSantis this round.
Politics never fails to impress me how people can look at something and see two totally different things. As with most on this board, we are likely pretty close in political beliefs, yet we see somebody like Vivek in a completely opposite light. To me, he's the smarmiest used car salesman I can remember running on the Republican side. In conversations with other people I've made the Obama comparison to him as well.
He won't be the nominee so it's all a moot point. It's just fascinating to me.
Agree... very interesting how differently we can see these guys... I tend to think a guy who has built several mulit-million $ companies and is using his own money is the antithesis of Barry. But you're right, he won't get the nomination.
Unfortunately, the last guy to "use his own money" in a campaign has turned out to be the worst thing for the Republican party in a generation.
I wish… then that “worst thing” would be a thing of the past…Ross Perot...??🤣
How’s your son btw? Been a couple years since we talked, I think it was right before he was moving out to Texas?Ross Perot...??
I like Vivek, but he comes across as a smarmy used car salesman to me as well.
You probably haven't seen these poll numbers... I think 'we' on the board disagree on VR for the most part, but I am really impressed with how he completely dismantles the radical leftist 'journalists' who are constantly trying to play GOTCHA with him.
I'll be voting on whoever the Republican nominee winds up being, but this guy is just smart, articulate and not afraid to tell the audience or the interviewer exactly what he thinks.

Can you guys please not fvck this up?
Hahaha!!! It’s a nice thought for you to ask before it goes down, but these primaries/caucuses are going to come crashing in steaming hot on the fvcked-up train
