= Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, Trump’s vice presidential pick who delivered Wednesday’s keynote address, was among Trump's sharpest critics.
“I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical a—hole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler,” Vance wrote in a message to a friend in 2016.
Publicly, in an essay that same year for the Atlantic, Vance was also blunt: “Trump is cultural heroin. He makes some feel better for a bit. But he cannot fix what ails them.”
= Nikki Haley. The former South Carolina governor who served in Trump’s Cabinet as U.N. ambassador ran against him for president and was his main rival in the closing days of the 2024 Republican primary. She also had tough words for him, saying at one point that he was “not qualified to be the president of the United States.”
= Amber Rose. The model, rapper and former reality television star endorsed Trump on the first night of the convention. In 2016, she gave an interview in which she called Trump a “f***ing idiot. He’s just such an idiot. He’s so weird. I really hope he’s not president.
= Marco Rubio. The Florida senator ran against Trump in 2016. At the time, he insulted everything from Trump’s makeup to the size of his hands. He also called Trump a “con artist” and said he was “the most vulgar person to ever aspire to the presidency.” He spoke Tuesday night.
= Ted Cruz. The Texas senator also ran against Trump in 2016. He called Trump a “pathological liar,” “sniveling coward” and “utterly amoral.” He was booed for not endorsing Trump during his 2016 GOP convention speech. “God bless Donald J. Trump,” Cruz said Tuesday night.
= Nancy Mace. The South Carolina representative declared that Trump’s “entire legacy was wiped out” by the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and that he would need to be held accountable. She spoke Wednesday.
All of these former opponents have now bent the knee and kissed the ring. Have Republicans no shame?
@Suzianne saidLots of hate

All of these former opponents have now bent the knee and kissed the ring. Have Republicans no shame?Can a republican, or a democrat, learn through experienc and an open mind??. The TV Host who has a TV Show, Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough, was once a Republican and changed his mind. He is an extreme Democrat now. I never saw one article about how that is hypocrisy.
Your post suggests that people be hard fast with never-changing opinions. You know, I used to hate rain, now I love rain.
Pitiful
@AverageJoe1 saidYou are.

@AverageJoe1 saidNot just changing the mind.
You are……logic and common sense. What human never changes their mind. Felis, maybe.
Falling into abject devotion, this is.
@Suzianne saidYou seem to be really savvy about govt. Was Biden acting as a dictator when he had the government reduce its balance in the treasury, to fund a pet project of his, like Noriega had pet projects, as did Hitler? I speak of reducing tuition debt. I asked that question yesterday afternoon, be the first to answer!!!!!!
Rain isn't going to destroy our government.
@AverageJoe1 saidHow about a gigantic moat? You know, with alligators and maybe a dragon or two?
You've given me an idea.....can we harness rain to close the border? Flood it so that no one can illegally come here and take over our hotels? Destroying our cities, leading to destroying our government?
Talking with Republicans is like talking to five-year-olds.
Until they start in with "brown people are baaaaaaad... we need to keep them out"...
Whatever happened to the words printed at the Statue of Liberty:
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
You should replace those words with your own, saying "Beat it, scum!"
@AverageJoe1 saidYou're talking to someone who thinks college tuition should be free at the point of purchase. Something needs to be done to educate the vast ignorant hordes in this country. You, of course, are against this.

When Trump signed executive orders, was he a dictator?

Where in our constitution does it say that is supposed to be part of our official government policy?
@Mott-The-Hoople saidOnly in Trump's speeches.
where is send me your mentally i’ll, your criminals written?
And you bought that?
What a maroon. You know the guy lies, like ALL the time, right?
