I don’t care who runs as the republican, the left is going to despise him or her. There is no being united with the unreasonable. The left is being controlled by “the coddled” who are narcissistic entitled brats who scream at everyone who doesn’t completely agree with them. The days of civility are over until people become educated on the truth and I don’t see that happening.

There is too much money involved for the elitist who control banking, industry, the media, and governments. Bureaucrats and politicians are only concerned with money and how to spend money (and steal it). Industry is only concerned with making money and more money. The media is only concerned with ratings (money). Our public education system is a farce and a money hole. The coddled are only concerned with their feelings and their victimhood status.

Until we remove the corrupt people in Washington, nothing is going to improve for long. I don’t see it happening.

No one can unite America.

Amen to all said in your posting!

I fear the forever Trumpers are ruining the Party. There doesn’t appear to be a sane way to get through to them.

Disagree.

Don't be naive and think that there will be some "fresh start" with a new candidate.

I understand these sentiments, and I have moments of feeling the same way at times. However. to put things in perspective.

I believe on Day 1 Trump wanted and tried to work with the Democrats. HOWEVER, Democrats CREATED the chaos before Day 1. I remember Democrat leadership 'walking out' of talks in the white house, Two fake impeachments. An obviously fake Russian Scandal. Trumps well intentioned agenda was completed obstructed by the CHAOS that the left created! Nancy ripping up his State of the Union Speech live on TV. They urged on riots and crime and denied any of it happened. They told everyone to "get in the face" of Republicans. They burned down churches and federal buildings. They used the pandemic against us closing down businesses and masking children. Many of us were compliant at first, until it became ridiculous and when they clearly used the pandemic to affect the outcome of the election. (vote by mail = more fraud). The conspired with Big Tech (twitter and facebook) to ban conservative speech. They fueled false racial tensions. And more. And worse, they targeted and labeled US (anyone) who voted for trump or his policies. They called us hateful. They called us racist. The called us anti-semetic. They called us homophobic. They they told us we hated women, while simultaneously pushing gender issues (drag in front of children) and men in women's sports. They had people showing up at our homes/business and assaulted us. They tried to cancel us. Is it no wonder why tensions grew by January 6th? Republicans were pushed too far and at that point exasperated and some (not all and not most) made some bad decisions that day. Most conservatives and republicans still disavowed what happened that day. HOWEVER, the left then successfully labeled ALL Republicans as insurrectionists and overcharged and jailed many protestors to a much further extreme than what had ever happened to protesters from the Left who generally "got off". BOTTOM line. The LEFT STRATEGICALLY created all of the chaos. Trump just defended it. IT was their strategy all along and it will CONTINUE to be their strategy regardless of who the Republican nominee is. IF you look at all the Trump chaos with a clear mind, critical thinking skills, and an open heart. You will acknowledge that this was the Democrat strategy all along. And it will be their strategy with whoever the our next nominee is. Don't be mislead by the idea that there will be some "Fresh Start" with a candidate like DeSantis. In actuality, everything will start all over again. Trump is a known entity. There really are no more surprises coming from him. Leaving Trump at this point would be like abandoning a close family member who has been loyal to us. We should dance with the one who brought us. And for now, that is Donald Trump. Republicans need to stop cowering and stop clutching our pearls. The left has said MUCH worse things about Trump and us than Trump has ever said about them. What did Trump really do that was so awful compared to everything that the left leashed on him and US... If we can't understand that and truly "fight back", then there is no hope for the conservative cause. It will not get better with a false fresh start. That is naive. Their strategy is to create chaos to any of our good candidates. They know it works. (see they have us abandoning Trump). Look at the Brett Kavanaugh nomination. The left CREATED chaos around him... with the full intention on obstructing and delaying a conservative nominee. Chaos Chaos Chaos. What did Trump do? He stuck with his nominee, rather than throw him under the bus. We can all learn from Trump. (DeSantis 2028).

Could not have said it better. I really believe that when Trump starts attacking DeSantis the vast majority of Republicans will turn on trump. The problem is there's a large group who will stick with him even if he chooses to run as a third party candidate. That would split the vote and usher in a Democrat. If Trump runs unchallenged I'll hold my nose and vote for him but I believe he will lose again and I think he will have a difficult time governing with all the baggage. The only way we win is getting Trump out of the way but that might be impossible as he's too big of an egomaniac to take the L for the good of the Republican party and the country.

Michele, as a proud American that believes that this great country of ours is the only place on earth to live. What you have expressed is SPOT ON! What America needs is a mix of Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, Abe Lincoln and Ronald Reagan.

Please keep up the great work!!

P.S. You’ll never be a “washed up has been” in my book!!

Agree with you wholeheartedly. Love Trump and what he did for our country. Hate the vitriol. The greatest gift he can give is an endorsement for a new leader of our party.

Agree 100% Ms. Tafoya. Americans owe Trump much gratitude for taking on the power hierarchy when he did, or we would be in much worse shape today. His timely disruption to the political establishment will be marked in American history as a positive and very significant time. However coming back for a second attempt will do nothing but stain what he has already successfully accomplished. I love the "King Creator" role you describe for Trump. We need this kind of perpetual influence to sustain what he has already started, a continual recovery back to true American exceptionalism.

COMPLETELY agree with you. He did a remarkably job as president, but that same personality is completely derailing him and the Republican Party. Sadly, time for him to ride into the sunset. The great thing as you point out, he’s left us with a stable of very capable candidates.

(Forgive all the metaphors that are a bit Reaganesque😏)

If you are as jaded by politics as I am, you would believe that Donald Trump is a democrat running as a republican to throw the race to the democrats and ruin the Republican party. Who else would have written a check to the Clinton foundation just before announcing his run as a republican? Who else would have tried to throw the race to Hillary with his 5th Ave. Shoot a man comment? Who else would have pardoned Rod Blagojevich? Seriously, if the republicans had the super delegate, Donald Trump would be the equivalent of Bernie Sanders.

Great letter, Ms. Tafoya. I commend President Trump for his many successes, but it is time for him to exit the stage. We’ll see if he loves our country more than himself.
