When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.“ - Benjamin Franklin.

Hope and Change died in 2014 and the marginal win was more about Romney being a dull RINO!
And one specific aspect was Obama's Open Border Policy taking away jobs and the sharing of social services money with illegals. That is why Trump gained record numbers with black citizen voters.
I was for Cruz in the primaries because Trump lacked coherent stances on some issues. But I never bought into "neverTrump", particularly when some said Trump's not a conservative. I just thought, what does that make Bush and McCain, who were to demonstrably to the left of Trump on immigration? Trump's policies somewhat resembled the 1920's Republican party, not exactly as far in left field as they would claim. I still think to this day the people who created "neverTrump" were neocons who wanted Trump to lose to Clinton because he had some ideas that were threatening to liberal hegemony. Neocons, after all, were cultural liberals who never opposed the New Deal. Their idea of allowing Clinton to win and continue Obama policies was pretty sickening to me.

I get what your saying.
The same DC beltway crowd who opposed Goldwater, who opposed Reagan, and Trump will be at it again in 2024. They will throw money at some RINO like Jeb Bush while they trash Trump and Governor De Santis, or whoever looks like they have any independence.
And the Voters need to do the same as they did in the 2016 GOP primaries with a stage full of candidates and say NO to that!
You deport those who cross the border illegally you moron, you talk about who was apprehended when open invitations by progressive Democrats were granted on mass. Like any "criminal" mob on the run you can always grab more people......
And show me where Biden is talking Border Security and apprehending illegals (not migrants) while you are at your history fail?
The fact that he was black is what some people see as divisive. Obama was far from a perfect president, but he was given an economic disaster and eventually pulled America out of it. He also faced unprecedented obstruction from Republicans, who would rather see Obama fail than see America succeed. Obama was the beginning of the Republican decline into hysteria, fear and delusion.
Obama's record poor recession recovery was upward only in the sense of how long it took, no credit to poor policies that taxed, mandated, regulated, and outright punished economic success for political reasons. You can't argue Obama policy made that happen although try if you dare. And we see the same bad result with Biden today only far worse.
Don't forget I lived through Jimmy Carter and know the facts of the matter. Your entire Party is on very Thin Ice my friend so I would not brag too much.
