Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Could Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez be the death of the Democrat party

I too, was a Cruz supporter but once President Trump won the primaries, I was a Trump supporter. I do not agree with Him on everything and I would not have with Cruz, had He became President, but I am a Trump supporter until the next election. I figure I will support Him all the way but cannot say until I see Who is running. I do the same with the local Government and maybe support a person in the primaries, but go with the Republican in the Nov. election. I have in the past voted for a democrat in some instances, and may again, if a suitable one comes along. That is not likely given the current attitude among Democrats. miles

Gus, it’s obvious that a few members have become so emotionally invested in Donald Trump that any criticism of him, factual though it may be, is taken it as as criticism of themselves and they respond accordingly. Realizing that is why I decided to stop criticizing him on this forum..... and that’s all I pledged. I’ve been here way too long to let a clique of relative newcomers cause me any discomfort.

I have to admit that it’s humorous to see myself analyzed in depth by someone with so little real information about me.His time would be better spent analyzing the only entity he has inside information about..... his own self.

As far as a third party run from the right, that would be awfully surprising to me. But given that Trump is such a polarizing figure, I think it is pretty much a given that he will face some Primary opposition.

The reliable Dem voters will tolerate a candidate that makes ANY claims that enable them to gather support from the fringes of the party. Defeating the Repub candidate is all that matters to them.They don’t need a platform.

I’d say a lot of Trump supporters aren’t so much emotionally invested as pragmatically invested for his actions, fighting the corruption of the system, the swamp and globalism.

I don’t agree with 100% of what he says and does, but he beats the heck out of who ever is number two. And, IMO, he’s headed in the right direction.

Being independently wealthy, beholding financially to no one doesn’t hurt. I think that’s one of the main reasons why so many entrenched interests hate him so much. He’s thumbing his nose at their sacred traditions and power base, their money sources.

Go Trump.

There won't be anyone on the left launching a serious 3rd party campaign. The left won't allow that any longer. They will make a leftist 3rd party candidate's life misery.

That Starbucks guy stopped talking about doing so pretty quick.

I think that His being an outsider, and not a career politician is the biggest attraction. It also works against Him in being the President, on several levels. Then there is the constant search for something to impeach Him for, that is a constant drain on His quest to get things done. The Mueller witch hunt should be wrapped up at once, and anything found, if there is anything, presented to Congress. Then Mueller should be investigated. miles

if we are lucky she will sink there ship

I don't think she is smart enough to come up with this green deal on her own. She is a mouthpiece for the commies. She has been tutored , coached ,led and she id just all mouth. this is the commie party and they will ram it to us again and again. All oral crunt is just that.

Same exact thing happened to me too. It was the 68 and older crowd that jumped on the Curdog bandwagon so I got a good laugh at their collective indignant septuagenarian outrage but I didn’t doubt that I was correct in my analysis. Many of those same people are noticeably silent now that they realize they were wrong with their premature outrage. I don’t follow the campfire crowd and their oohhh and aahhhing worship of someone based upon their post count while ignoring the “substance” of their messages. I’ve been around the block a few times and I trust my own instincts over that of the group think mentality, which as you pointed out ifubar is strong here. I can respect the person and disagree with the message just as I can dislike the person and agree with the message, however it’s also possible to dislike the person and their message. I am incredulous at how the groupies will give a pass to someone that intentionally voted for Hilary by voting against Trump and then try to convince us that they aren’t a liberal.....just because. 🙄. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and votes like a duck it’s likely a duck. 😉.

She is their monthly "Good Idea" fairy princess.
Her election speaks volumes about the welfare as way life/ entitlement way of life voters in this nation.
LBJ,s great society programs are here to stay and being planned and expanded as much as they can get away with.
It is socialism for half the nation espically for those in cities and their huge populations around them.
All ya gotta do as a Liberal Socialist Democrat is promote free schitt and you got voters for life.
Vast majority of their voters have never contributed jack schitt to the nation.
They are a burden as a whole.

Its all for votes at tax paying citizens expense.....

I’m only as important as you make me...on the internet.

And, this may shock you, this forum is “just the innanet “.

My disappointment with Trump is that he's blowing it.

As I've mentioned before, if he would just play his cards,..regardless of the outcome, he would keep his base intact. Allowing the Communists to force him to compromise on the illegal immigration issue will cost him. If he loses in 2020, the Communists will waste no time in totally swamping the country with illegals and giving them voting rights.

That'll be the end of it.

Sadly, I think we’re already there. . .

Well said Dirtfarmer^^^^^^

Curdog certainly has adopted leftist tactics such as "projecting"

One of the things the left simply cant understand about conservatives is that we do think for ourselves, we listen to people like Rush because he says what we are thinking.
The left do not think for themselves therefore are vulnerable to indoctrination by leftist.
Curdog is simply playing into their hand and accusing us of being cult followers. He would do good to look in the mirror and do a little self evaluation....

Numerous campfire members have tried to explain to Curdog in several different ways why we stand behind Trump, like a leftist he refuses to listen or consider our opinions.
So maybe unwittingly he has become a tool for the left. The left loves it when a so called conservative joins their side and helps promote their propaganda.

His assertions are insulting .........

One more scotus appointment is the prize and possibly another with Breyer.

Will also be interesting to see what Trump’s actions will be should anti-gun legislation ever reach his desk.

it depends on what is meant by 'death'...

I sort of thought that when I quit talking about Trump, y’all would quit talking about me.

I reckon not.

No big deal to me.

I ain’t gonna worry about you until you start agreeing with everyone.
Heh

Agreed and you might not believe this but I think aside from politics we’d get along. I don’t harbor any ill will towards you and wish you all the health and happiness you deserve.

I find myself in agreement with you regarding many things, Trump and politics not included. We might have to agree to disagree but I certainly will continue to read your posts and agree or disagree as the situation calls for.

If we agreed on EVERYTHING ....one of us would be extra.

And..... if a man still believes - at 77 Y O - the same way he believed at 47 YO , he is either stupid or hasn’t noticed the changes that have taken place during that time.

Ecclesiastes makes sense to an old man but is more useful for a young man. There truly is “ nothing new under the sun “.
