“We are going to do something that I will say is slightly controversial but it shouldn’t be. We are going to indemnify policemen and precincts and states and cities from being sued. We want them to do their job. Our police and law enforcement has to come back and they want to come back and they want to do their job. And we are going to indemnify them so they don’t lose their wife, their family, their pension, and their job. We are going to indemnify policemen and law enforcement. We are going to tell them to get out, we love you, do your job.” – Trump, speaking last night at the New York Young Republicans Club gala.

Trump going after the tyrant vote.

    And we’re the problem for warning them about that. It’s hilarious.

    They’d rather have Trump than appeal to the left.

    It’s only working because of how horrible trump is. If the pubies trotted any one less horrible, we’d loose.

    If Republicans nominate someone other than Trump, he’ll run as a third party candidate and split the “stupid bigot” vote. It’s the best we could hope for, considering that Democrats’ only message right now is “fuck you, you’re voting for us.” Any Democrat who doesn’t have a compelling reason to vote in the Democratic Party primaries for lower offices than president should be voting in the Republican presidential primaries.

      fair point. hypothetically, if trump didn’t exist (lets say he’s directly convicted of insurrection, or his second impeachment had seen him convicted; and directly barred from office ever again) Biden would loose to any other candidate
