Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Let him destroy the GOP before you bar him. Thats thing has fot to go
That mission is pretty well accomplished. DeSatan is being pummeled by a Mouse, and Trump will run as an independent and split the vote if he doesn't get the GOP nomination
Trump may be in the lead now, but he cannot campaign effectively with so many legal problems looming. He's already planning on skipping the first debate this month and instead doing an interview with Tucker Carlson. Although I am unsure how that will be done. Fox News told Tucker to stop doing his Twitter show because he's violating contract by doing such. Also, why would Trump still want to appear on any Tucker Carlson appearance now? While Tucker flirts with him in public, his texts to colleagues said he hated him and was sick of talking to or about him in the Dominion lawsuit evidence. I hope as part of sentencing for his indictments, the judge or jury really throws the book at Trump and tells him he must forfeit the presidential race. I'm not even sure if that's a punishment they can issue, but I hope they can.
Republicans (and many polititians in gerneral) all hate each other, that is normal.
They are narcisitic power hungry psychopaths. They only cooperate, if they think it is advantagous to them and only them personally, in their quest to ammas as much power and influence as possible.
So it doesn't matter what they think about each other in private, they will cooperate if it is helpful to them. That is why they are politically more successful against the liberals than leftist/progressives, because leftist take personal offences more seriously and deny collaboration based on that.
I'm not sure we're that lucky.
Looks like he'll win the nomination pretty handily as of now.
