I predict Cory Gardner will lose his seat in 2020.

I remember saying that about Clinton after Obama was elected.

[roberth]

I remember being dumbfounded and pissed when people were excited Obama got the nomination. "Thank God she didn't get it" was all the little choo choo in their head could rationalize. Seeing his history, I couldn't believe people (including a great number here) could be so short sided. Here we are again, lately. All hail orange Jesus who can do no wrong. Lol. GOP is saved thanks to orange Jesus. At least Obama was elected for eight years instead of Hillary getting a nomination! Whew!

Keep writing, you're getting more incoherent each time.

Butt-man might want single payer and to ban all guns SAD, but he's no Hillary. We can just throw guns at BUTTMAN to fix all problem BIGLY

There, I made it understandable to you.

LOL

I understand that Trump has his defects but to think Hillary would have been better is idiocy. Given her propensities I'd almost wager that this board would cease to exist under her rule, and your little guns too.

Didn't realize we had this many "never Trumpers" on here.

Is this an order, sir?

That's a lot of speculation you're throwing around that you've seemingly disguised as fact.

I don't believe for a second "the media made Trump win the primaries...". That doesn't even make sense. I don't disagree that most of the media thought he'd be the easiest for HRC to beat. But I think it was people who were tired of business as usual "made" Trump win the primaries. And it wasn't even close.

And who said Trump is = to Jesus? I've never seen that sort of sentiment from anyone here. I've seen a lot of pissing and moaning and whining about how rude he is, or talks too much, or he's this or that or the other thing and he tweets too much. But compare him to Jesus? No.

And BFD...so he was a democrat before. So was Reagan. Trump is governing as a pretty conservative president. Probably the most conservative in my lifetime. His presidency hasn't been perfect in my opinion. I hate the fact he jumped on the "ban bump-stocks" bandwagon...too reminiscent of a knee-jerk progressive reaction for my taste. And, yeah, he probably talks too much.

On the other hand, he does something no other conservative that's been elected or tried to get elected has ever done. He's stood up to progressive bullies and thrown their shit right back in their faces and he doesn't apologize for it. There is no way in hell ANY of the candidates he beat would've stood up to the democrats and staying in the fight like he did over the Kavanaugh thing. So for that alone I'll give him a pass on the bump-stock thing. I don't like it, I don't think it's right. But the only way I'm get a perfect president is if I get elected. So I'll live with Trump.

ETA: Point being, say Ted Cruz won the primary. The election wouldn't have even been close, and the media/Hillary knew it. Early polls showed her at a significant disadvantage.

Newsflash. The election wasn't close as it was. I voted for Cruz in the primary. But I'm glad now that he didn't win. Cruz wouldn't have stood up to the progressive bullies to the same extent Trump has. And that's not speculation like most of your post. It's fact. All you have to do is look at Cruz' behavior as a senator. And for that matter look at how he handled Trump's swipes at him in the campaign. Cruz would've probably been a very good president. But Trump is a very good president and he's a better street brawler. It makes for a great combination when you have to deal with the likes of an extremely hostile media and a government full of progressive assholes.

Man, our state Republican party has been, and continues to be, absolutely worthless. I changed to Unaffiliated last year, but it really makes no difference. We are a pretty solidly blue state now - forget purple.
