Hmm, pretty good record if you really look at the CORRECT numbers.

Is there a direct link to that somewhere? I searched @ChuckCallesto's Twitter timeline going all the way back to 11/5, and it’s nowhere to be found there.

I've thought for a long time that his best play would be to announce he's NOT running in '24 and sit back and wield his base as a Kingmaker... but... no. He's every bit the self-centered, bullying New Yorker that I despise. Such a waste.

Trump continues to knock other Republicans ahead of expected 2024 announcement with fresh attack on Youngkin

He only gets my vote again if the choice is him or a greater evil Democrat.

Not me. I’ll happily vote for DeSantis (if he runs), or some other republican of equal caliber. But I won’t vote for Trump again. He did some good things. I am grateful for his SCOTUS picks, and it seems likely that he probably placed some good justices in federal district and appellate courts too. But he’s thin-skinned, holds unproductive grudges, listens to bad advice, and makes terrible hiring/firing decisions.

The MSM (AKA the DNC Marketing Dept.) doesn’t like either DeSantis or Trump. But DeSantis keeps them focused on the issues, and what he has to say about them. Trump keeps the Democrat Steno Pool (AKA “the media”) focused on him and his personality, more so than the issues. They don’t just not like him, they hate him. They make it personal with him. They’ll attack DeSantis on the issues, but they attack Trump for personal reasons.

It doesn’t matter that they attack DeSantis on the issues, because when they do, it keeps those issues before the voters, those issues resonate with them, and those voters largely distrust the media enough that they’ll give DeSantis a fair hearing.

Many of those voters won’t give Trump the same benefit of the doubt, because they’re tired of the drama. It’s a distraction from what’s really important. When the messenger can no longer effectively communicate the message, it’s time to switch messengers. DeSantis is an effective messenger. Trump is not.

I feel like I got suckered after voting for him the 1st time around. That won’t happen again.

Voting machines not working all over the country, including in Texas. The attempted steal is ongoing....

There is no question that election stealing has been going on for a long long time and that in 2020 it went off the charts to new levels. I expect the criminals to continue stealing as much as they can, as long as they can, until they are stopped.

Prayers go to the good people of Pennsylvania who just got robbed.

The people of Pennsylvania did not get robbed. They opened the door and pulled the freakshow in.

And this is what comes when the GOP runs idiots like Oz. Well, Pennsylvanians are about to discover what kind of Lurch they elected. May God help them by making it so plainly obvious that they’ll have a nice red wave of their own the next time around.

And that’s the rub, isn't it? Reminds me of the Battle of Athens, Tennessee. The REAL shenanigans didn’t take place until the "higher authority" confiscated the ballot boxes and brought them to the courthouse for "protection". That’s when a group of men who are among my personal pantheon of heroes stepped in and ended the problem.

One would hope that violence would no longer be required to safeguard the sanctity of the vote…but I grow increasingly skeptical over the years.
