Can't vote for him if he is not the nominee. Rod, you'll need to sharpen up your "this guy (or gal) is just as bad as Trump...." sword.Originally Posted by Rod Kaufman
BS, you'll vote for him by saying I don't vote for him but I vote for his policies...

At this stage, I genuinely, honestly, have no idea. JimOriginally Posted by Richard Davis
I have extremely serious doubts that he will even get close to being the nominee.
I don't DeSantis wants it yet.
My guess is that someone else will get the nomination, and Trump will be in the background.
There are a great number of people who I prefer.
I wish it was DeSantis but I really, really don't believe he will run.
Do you think he will?

Thanks for the straight answer. Unfortunately, today is murder on the work front. EOY management meetings. So I can not discuss in detail, or debate too much.Originally Posted by Richard Davis
You Stated:
I also suspect you'll never admit it, which is annoying. Here is a chance to surprise me.
Here's my answer Jim.
I have viewed the site run by Brent Bozell. It is named the Media Research Center for a reason.
They keep an eye on and tabulate interesting information such as the amount of minutes spent by the "mainstream" news outlets such as ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, etc... on various political stories and news items.
Sometimes they speak to news stories that would be of interest to the general public and report whether they even cover the stories or whether they bury them.
Certainly they have some sort of bias, however You have pegged with the moniker "far right" in the extreme to describe them.
Tell me something, have you followed the MRC for some time, and are you knowledgeable enough about them to make a reasoned decision?
From what you stated above you seem to be very familiar with their reporting.
You must know a great deal about them and their mission.
Since you purport to be very familiar with them, can you point to several of their stories and reporting recently that indicate how far right they are and can you demonstrate the propaganda they are peddling?
Here's a very factual news story from Newsbusters.org: https://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2022/12/05/nbc-marks-1-year-waukesha-attack-omits-racist-motive
It speaks to the fact that the "Mainstream" media purposefully failed to mention how the murderer of 6 in the story, who was by the way convicted of murder recently, was a black racist against whites.
Would you like to tackle that story and indicate how MRC telling the world how the media covered up that fact about the guy is "propaganda"?

I've never watched Alex Jones, but I understand that he is a truly detestable human being. Attacking the shooting survivors is criminal, and the jury has made him pay for it. Good riddance.Originally Posted by Greg Shaffer
Like most there is real news interspersed with propaganda.....both sides of aisle have their extremists. Alex Jones and his ilk are the worst on the right IMO.....I simply stopped reading/watching anything if he was associated with it several years ago.....

I thought Jim Brown told us that Trump is just a big buffoon who doesn't really know anything so whatever happens like his former campaign manager colluding with Russian operatives is just a non-sequitur...

Frankly, I doubt you care, but I do not respect those who misquote and misconstrue my opinions or other's opinions. You should be ashamed of yourself, it is telling that you are not.Originally Posted by Rod Kaufman
I'll leave that to the know-it-alls and the egotists on the forum...

I don't have the obligation to set the record straight. You have the obligation to not misstate other people's positions!! Ask James Lacey if you don't believe me.Originally Posted by Rod Kaufman
I haven't quoted you in this thread in reference to our issue of contention, so I haven't misquoted you or others. If I've misconstrued my recollection of your prior comments in past threads on the Trump-Russia collusion case wherein I recall you had argued that Trump wasn't aware of what his subordinates, like Paul Manafort, were doing because he wasn't being some sort of evil genius or mastermind but, rather, it was because he was essentially woefully ignorant about all such things around him to the degree that he didn't know or approve them. If that's not the case, then you can take this opportunity to set the record straight or tell me that I got it all wrong and I was mistaken about it...

You and I agree 100%Originally Posted by James Lacey
Just because they may report accurately sometimes doesn't mean they are not an extreme right-wing propaganda site. They are, and just because you can find some accuracy in some of their stories, it does not excuse all the disinformation they spread. It would be a bit like saying because a broken clock is right twice a day, it's ok that it's wrong all the other times. I know you understand this, Jim. I want to reiterate MRC, especially, is hardly a good source of information.

Thanks. I think, the point I want to make in the light of morning is that Trump may be a buffoon, he may be a mastermind. Even though I lean toward the buffoon angle, I have never used that as an excuse for any of his real malfeasance. That is what riled me yesterday, I read your post as suggesting that I would give him a pass on tax fraud, just because he is stupid or unaware. That is not true. I hope they pin anything and everything on him that is just and proper under the criminal and tax codes.Originally Posted by Rod Kaufman
Here's what sticks in my mind from that interchange, especially the reference by you to Trump not being a micromanager and contrary to what is stated in the initial post of this thread:
"Given Trump's personality and basic idiocy, I would not be surprised if his subordinates were doing all sorts of things behind his back. No one has ever accused Trump of being an insightful, detail oriented, micro-manager."
So, I'm not so sure I got that wrong. Anyhow, I see now that evidently not everything we state can be felt or understood along similar lines so we agree on some points here but not on others. I was being grumpy too so we certainly share that feeling. Hopefully, we'll all do better from now on...
