Well of course..Never Trumpers, who would want them around....but excluding Ronald Regan, I believe he would be of the same mindset as Trump.
George Bush? The Bush family hates President Trump. They will never forget how Trump humiliated Jeb Bush, he never recovered from it. It was suppose to be Jeb’s turn.
GWB retired from politics. He's happy out of the spotlight now.
Mitt Romney? Romney chose to try to play the John McCain game of grabbing the spotlight and tried (unsuccessfully) to get him some of that "Maverick" energy. Didn't work for him, so he's going to be retired from politics also. In other words, he made his bed and now he gets to lie in it.
What ChatNPC and others are mad about is that their usual methods of lazy posting and the democrats' lazy campaigning have to change. They're not facing the Washington Generals any more, they're up against an opponent that's decidedly non-milquetoast.
That means that you don't go on CNN and accept the premise of loaded, partisan questions. It means you have other ways of getting the message out without having to squirm your way through a lopsided panel or discussion where it's 4 democrats-pretending-to-be-journalists on 1 Republican.
In other words, the GOP has learned that you have to listen to the majority of Republican and Republican-adjacent voters. That means being strong on things like
-An economy that works for everybody
-Crime and public safety
-Curbing, not encouraging illegal immigration
-Not selling the country down the river
...and other common sense items.
The little d's are mad because the easy layup of the Paul Ryan throwing grandma down the stairs commercials are now off the table. They have one more card to play and that's the NAZINAZIHITLERFASCISTNAZI one...and despite the best efforts of some folks here to deny it, the public has seen what that kind of rhetoric leads to.
And they don't like it.
All Trump has to do tomorrow night is channel Ronald Reagan with lots of Shining City On The Hill Stuff. Let the democrats run their hilariously campy negative campaign.
