Said it in '16. Said it in '17. Saying it now. Anyone who ever bought his "Republican" shtick should inquire about the bridge I'm selling.

I have maintained since the minute he decided to run that he is the most elaborate agent provocateur in American history. He's playing a Democrat-designed character that is meant to kill off the Republican party's establishment for good. If he had lost, the Dems get to say, "We finally moved on from the old America" and lock in their ideology with this generation and the next. But him winning is even better. He cartoonishly supports a bunch of non-sensically stupid establishment talking points. He spouts off at the mouth (or fingers, as it were) with inane bullshit like the military trans ban, dick-measuring contests with nuclear nations, pseudo-patriotic conviction, climate change denial, etc. He assigns corrupt, moronic, and/or shameful charlatans like Sessions, Tillerson, Perry, et. al. All the while, he just chips away day by day at the current and next voting generations' interest in the Republican party. He gives the leftist media plenty of ammo to tear him down with intentionally, and they run it 24/7/365.
The 18-30 segment is already overwhelmingly blue, let alone these kids that are gonna hit 18 by 2020. This is the end of the Republicans as you know 'em. There is a silver lining, however. We may have a chance to finally turn the party around and make it a small government, fiscally-conservative, hands-off party as it should be. Focus on civil liberties and trimming the fat, and stop with this 1950s bullshit where we're bitching about abortion, gay marriage, and other things that don't effect anyone else, and aren't anyone else's business whatsoever. We can purge the racists, xenophobes, and religious zealots. Go back to just letting each man (or woman) live their own lives, of their own accord. Without trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of employees tangled up in the mess. We're playing the long con already, so perhaps this annihilation is necessary to rebuild the right way.
How our gun rights fare in this metamorphosis remains to be seen.
It is still better than Hillary. Her brother in law got caught with a kilo of cocaine and only did 6 months for it. Yeah, Roger Clinton! Got a presidential pardon too. Lot of dead bodies in Little Rock unexplained. I'm lucky I left Arkansas with my life. Hillary fainting before getting in the Secret Service armored vehicle sealed her fate politically.
They will never take away the 2A and the deficit is approaching $22 trillion. They can't afford to remove the protection of a 100 million guns. It is the part of the national defense plan they don't want to talk about. Besides, it is our money...
Except few out of 100, we all knew what Ted Cruz meant.
All I will say is that I tried my best not to speak ill of other republican on year 2016.
Now as of 2018, it is extremely difficult to follow 11th commandment. I will do my best.

Interesting thought. Exactly the same one another forum member and i had a discussion about some time back.
I posted this during the primaries, and I stand by it still...

The only person who was going to win '16 was Trump. Everyone else was going to be a good loser. We could tell early when the GOP field cowered in fear of the MSM. Trump shoved it up their collective ass and broke it off.
"You would be in jail." "They're not sending their best." No one else would have said that. Remember how Romney got on his knees after the "47%" comment? And he was right and his base knew he was right!
Cruz is a good man, would be a great president, couldn't win in this climate. Rubio is giving away 2A right now. Yeb? Trump had to stand up to 95%+ negative coverage, FBI/Deep State colluder's insurance policy, and all the nasty accusation that used to frighten Conservatives (racist!).
If Trump burns down the establishment and demonstrates that Conservatives have to fight to win, so be it. It needed to happen or all we would be able to do is negotiate our losses which would inevitably include 2A. 62M Americans now know we can beat them. Maybe Cruz or someone like him can win in the future.
The country needed Trump, even if he does turn out to disappoint, to demonstrate we don't have to do as we're told. We can still win elections (for now). We don't have to be nice. And we don't have to cower because of what someone said about us on FB.
If you believe voting is a solution, even a temporary necessary step to try and right the ship, voting for Trump was the best possible choice.
Take the "I told you so's" and tell us how a Clinton presidency would look right now because that was the only other option.
Really?
What would stop the reasonable GOPers from being reasonable with a Clinton in the WH?
Does Rubio grow a pair just because Clinton wins?
What is different about Florida and Sandy Hook? Hint: it isn't who's in the WH.
ETA: And by this logic we should NEVER vote for a Republican president because of the risk to gun rights.
How are you getting that last bit from what the previous poster said? A republican president taking an anti-2A stance is potentially much more damaging to our gun rights than a democratic president continuing their party line. Voting republican doesn't pose a great risk to gun rights if that republican president actually supports the second amendment.
