That's certainly common sense. Attaching yourself to a tremendous record of astounding success in the field of excellence that President Trump represents is a winning formula.

And that's where the Never Trumper faction fails completely. They have nothing to say if they were to get the GOP nomination. Sure, they can attack Sleepy Joe, but they have nothing to offer the voters and don't have a proven record of triumphs to point to the voters.

“It’s a very popular agenda. Energy independence, securing the border, tough on crime, restoring the strength of America’s military.

It was smart of Banks not to remind people those are talking points not reflective of successes by Trump, and that virtually all of his policy positions are not popular with the majority of Americans.
 
It would be if it wasn't a fantasy.


Even if Trump was a "fantasy" as you claim, its better for a Republican candidate to attach themselves to a "fantasy" rather than nothing at all, which is what never-trumper clowns like Mitt and Cheney do.

They can criticize the D's Marxist bullshit, but have zero to offer in its place.

And Something beats nothing , any day of the week.

Laws aren't fantasy.
Laws are fantasy to Trump and his cult.

THAT would be the Trump cult MARXIST BS.
Gaslighting and projection are the cornerstone of the MAGA cult.

That's the way Trump's cult thinks.
Totalitarianism is better.

Riddle me this, Smokin.

Suppose the Republican National Convention in 2024 were to nominate Mitt Romney for President and Liz Cheney for VP.

What could they offer to the voters as an alternative to Sleepy Joe's incompetence and incontinence?

Actually nothing, just a promise that they would try to do better, while Biden and his stooges point out Mitt's Dog Abuse and bullying of homos in school and his failure to file taxes for 10 years.

Actually those two reject the Faustian bargain proposed by The Following who are clearly fine with empowering an immoral, corrupt, lawless, incompetent bigot whose instinct is to always put himself before the best interests of the country.

The premise of your question is rejected. He got a infrastructure bill passed, a veterans aid bill passed, a climate bill passed, he fixed Trump's botched vaccine distribution non-plan, he lead the effort to get support among allies for Ukraine, inflation is a global phenomenon and thus not his fault, unemployment is extremely low, wages are going higher, he expanded the safety net for vulnerable families and children. Those kinds of achievements expose the colossal failure of the Orange Fraud since his signature achievement was the passage of a tax cut for the wealthy that did not have the lasting benefit to the country that was promised.

ALL republicans have offered for the past 40 years are corporate tax cuts.
Rewarding companies that are ripping Americans off.

I'm not talking about what Biden's platform will be.

Of course he's going to claim all of the socialist boondoggles he presided over as successes.

But FOCUS.

I'm talking about what a Never-Trumper Republican can say during a campaign with Brandon or other Democrats.

You guys keep talking totalitarianism, yet I live freer in Floridia than in a deep blue state. I do not get it. And Florida's police codes are extensive.

So that's what the GOP has become? A party with nothing to offer but a fantasy? You should put that on a bumper sticker.

90% of the trillions of dollars in legislation passed is pork and payoffs by the Progs. We need about 600 billion dollars for roads and bridges. We have 110 billion dollars passed in a 1.2 trillion-dollar infrastructure package.

Trump was so successful he lost the Republican power in the house senate and White House in 4 short years. Yeah, total winner 👎😂

Florida governor Ron DeSantis warned on Monday that any city or county in the state that requires vaccination for employees would face a $5,000 fine.

DeSantis signed a law earlier this year prohibiting businesses from requiring proof of vaccination for coronavirus from patrons. The governor claimed that that law also applied to local governments seeking to implement vaccine mandates for employees.

WTF is next?
Fining companies that FORCE an employer to give drug test?

HB 1467 is a bill that allows parents to petition to remove books and learning materials from schools and libraries if they deem them ‘inappropriate.’

“Today Governor Ron DeSantis continues his censorship and surveillance agenda by signing HB 1467 The legislation weaponizes the Department of Education, requiring it to publish a list of books banned by any school district and circulate the list to all other districts.

Yeah, just like Hitler did.

So what does the GOP have to offer, other than the trump cult? You can whine about the Democrats all you want, but what do you have to offer instead?
