Good post.
Ehhh, not really.    He is correct there on some of his Trump criticisms. 

but as is the standard operating procedure of the left as well as his standard operating procedure, they have to try to justify their position by denigrating anyone with a different opinion. And in doing so they completely missed and characterize the other side.

He talks about “Trump’s base”    That’s where he is almost on the opposite side of the truth   

There really isn’t a “base”    Generally speaking, if you talk to people who are favoring Trump, they don’t particularly care for him, but they absolutely love what he stands for especially relative to what the opponents stand for.

they come from all walks of life, and education levels. They’re tired of how far left this country has moved. They don’t believe it’s a bad thing to fly the American flag. They want to be safe in the streets. They don’t want an open border. they want legal immigrants properly vetted. They don’t believe the answer to every problem is more government.  They don’t want to mortgage our financial future by spending trillions in debt now. They think DEI has gone too far and killed meritocracy.  They don’t think children should mutilate themselves to be transgender- and it should be hidden from their parents via legislation. They are ok with truly peaceful protests, but feel like violence and riots are unacceptable for any cause. Some are pro choice and some aren’t- but they feel there should be some limits and aren’t comfortable with paying for them.  They don’t want to see movies with liberal social Messages because they don’t care what the Hollywood elite think. They don’t pay attention to people who live behind brick walls with armed guards, and don’t have to worry about how they’re going to put food on the table. They don’t want us involved in foreign wars that truly don’t impact the future of our nation and don’t present much risk to America.  They believe in free enterprise and don’t want the government, pretending to know all the answers, and shut down businesses or control prices.  The list goes on and on. But the biggest thing he got wrong is that the election means everything to these people. Everything. They see where the country has gone in terms of moving far far left and they don’t want that to continue. They may not like Trump, but they know, he is their only hope to slow it down or reverse it   

And which party is being held hostage? On the one side, you’ve got a person who went through the primaries and was elected to run for office, by the people. And then he was elected into office as the president. And then he was voted out of office. Now he is voted back into represent their side in the presidential election, by the people, on the other side, you have a person who is there by Fiat, has never won a primary and did not get there by the choice of the people. Their side was given no choice. So who’s being held hostage?

Trump already has done a lot for those that support him. He put some common sense back into the Supreme Court. And now, even if he loses, he is forcing the other side to either pretend to move away from, or actually move away from there incredibly unpopular and ineffective positions. just look at the reversal that you see going on everywhere. Not only is their candidate doing it 180 on most of her atrociously liberal positions but you’re seeing it in other places to like California where they’re now actually trying to combat homelessness and ravaging crime issues.  That’s because Trump has exposed for what they really are and they can see that the American people don’t like what they are. So even if he doesn’t win, I don’t think he will, he’s actually moved the ball down the field in the right direction.
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

Show me the ups and downs, and I'll show you EVERY person with more than a dime to his name.

Meanwhile, yeah. A guy who turned $400 million into $4.5 billion is stupid.

I wish I was so stupid.
It's easy to make a lot of money when the laws are no bother.

I do love your passionate "not stupid" phrasing and careful not to suggest he's actually smart.  Very precise.

So this gets into questions of someone being smart at some things and stupid in others. And that’s OK.

I’m positive at some point we’re going to call someone who is fabulously successful stupid on this board. A large set of famous people are highly successful. And we’ll call them stupid despite that.

shoot, we’ll call coaches stupid. And the amount more they know about football is just bananas. None the less, we’ll isolate something we think is stupid and mock them for it.

(I will say, he was smart to make the jump to being an entertainer. Really solidified a brand, and those two things are basically the engine of his empire)

All of your blah-blahing here could have been avoided.  I specified Trump's base.  As in NOT what you're dwelling on here. 
There IS a base.  It's not you.  They DO care for him.  He can do no wrong in their eyes.  They're the ones attending 20+ Trump rallies.  They're the ones that are sure to vote for him, but couldn't name one US Senator.  Not a current one, one at all, ever, from history.

80% of your post was wasted on what I specifically didn't post about.

Exactly correct. The Elite likes to paint Trump supporters as mouth-breathing knuckle draggers. I got news for them.

never heard of this broad until she went viral on the internets, apparently a Republican congresswoman. don't care what your political views are, but there's zero denying that the Republican women are way fucking hotter than the blue haired chubby they/thems, bull dyke lesbos, disgusting obese fat white Karens, and the freakshow trannys of the Democrats.


https://twitter.com/3orovik/status/1823771632210686366



not to mention all those ice queens that were on Fox News back in the day- like Megyn Kelly- she was a f*cking smokeshow in her prime. that Tomi Lahren republican news girl is smoking. I'm sure there are others. who do the Democrats trout out there?


Can you imagine thru the course of time if every female on earth looked/acted like her? I'm guessing there'd be 2 maybe 3 million people on the planet. Think the Dems might tell her to pipe down? She's not oppressed,thin,wiry or appears to have missed any meals

I don't know what DUI sugar daddy started with. Doesn't matter.

She is just one of many crooks in DC who has profited from her "service" to this country, illegally.
