I traditionally have a thread heading to the election, here we go.
Get out the popcorn for this one.
Quote
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to formally announce next week he is running for president in 2024, NBC News reported Thursday, citing two sources familiar with the matter.
The governor's official entry into the Republican primary field will put him head-to-head with former President Donald Trump, the party's current frontrunner for the nomination. Trump has already spent months treating DeSantis as his primary campaign rival, thrashing him with torrents of criticism over his gubernatorial record, his political skills and his personality.
Moderates don't support felons or frauds who sexually abuse women and claim that accountability is persecution. They don't support the guy who says that they live in failing country while planning to damage our global alliances. Moderates don't support people who are working to turn free and Democratic societies into authoritarian dictatorships.
Moderate Republicans don't support the guy who is proud of ending nationally protected reproductive health freedoms.
Moderates don't support Trump, who promises to roll back Title IX protections for our LGBTQ+ neighbors.
Moderates don't support the candidate that calls climate change a hoax.
Your citation seems to contradict the notion that Moderate Republicans would support a right wing extremist like Trump. Maybe you can explain.
I would say that, in my view, a Trumper is a person who will vote for Trump regardless of Trump's disqualifying character flaws or any moral or ethical failures associated with him. A Trumper might try to project Trump's lies or weaknesses onto other people or suggest that Trump's opponent is too mentally feeble to serve as president rather than deal with Trump's crazy behavior and verbalizations. A Trumper might always look for a reason to disregard and minimize Trump's legal troubles.
You laid it our much better than I! Voting for Trump is immoderate action just by itself.
Not from the party of "victimhood"?. LOL. More like the party of creating victims. Telling black people they are too incompetent to get voter Id and or cannot possible make it in to post secondary education without affirmative action? Or that if they don't vote for Biden they sint black?
The party that cries victimhood of every marginalized group for virtue points but could care less that young black men are being killed in large numbers. Connie these gun crimes don't matter?
The party of creating victims and ignoring actual victims. I think this is more accurate.

Yes b3cause with all his "character flaws" he's still better for POTUS than Biden. 😆

Yes.
First, you said I couldn't be a moderate because of certain sources I used.
I shot that down.
Then you said I couldn't be a moderate because I was a "Trumper".
I shot that down.
Now, you're just going to agree with another member because they are in your opinion able to better articulate whether or not I fit into a specific label of political ideology.

If only there was evidence to support that belief.
Which metrics do you use to determine that Trump is better than Biden or is it just about your feelings? I think it's about feelings and beliefs for you, not measurable points of comparison. This is about the cult or religion of Trump.

The evidence is his first 4 years. Why do you talk about my feelings? Strange.
"Our statistical forecast, which we launch this week, gives Mr Trump a two-in-three chance of winning in November. This is the same model, plus some refinements, that made Joe Biden a strong favourite to become president in 2020. Tested on election data from previous elections (with no knowledge of the outcome), the model gave Barack Obama about the same chance of winning in 2012 at this point in the race as it gives Mr Trump now. Like most pundits, it thought Hillary Clinton likelier to win in 2016—a reminder that models, though they offer a rigorous way to think about the world, are not crystal balls."

Biden GDP growth > Trump GDP growth
Biden unemployment < Trump unemployment
Trump increased budget deficits with tax breaks for the wealthy.
Trump is ranked in the bottom of all presidents in effectiveness.
Trump managed to divide the population during a national crisis and completely mismanaged his opportunity to show everyone his strong leadership skills.
Trump lies about elections and tried to overthrow election results when he lost.
Is that the evidence you are talking about?
I talk about your feelings because you don't seem to have facts or evidence motivating you to vote for the felon. I talk about from feelings because feelings and beliefs are what bind members of a cult together.

So the moderates should vote Biden? LOL
The moderates should have demanded that the GOP elevate a conservative rather than a crazy guy who has a right wing extremist agenda. Instead, Trumpism consumed the entire republican political party.
