    Thanks for the reply. I'll respectfully disagree wholeheartedly with your statement "I see a President unafraid to be constrained by the politically correct speech guide." I do not get offended very easily, if at all. You can call me whatever you want, I won't lose any sleep over it. I, too, believe that we have over-corrected in all of us being PC all of the time. BUT, and this is where we apparently disagree, there is also a difference in having common decency, and not having it. Dude has no common decency. In my opinion, this has nothing to do "I like Trump because he isn't afraid to say how he feels." To me, it's "oh my gosh, it is embarrassing that the president of our country is saying these hateful, uncouth things." Politics aside, I don't think a grown up with common sense and any modicum of self respect would say something like that. I'd shake my head if I over-heard high schoolers talking about grabbing women by the p***y.

    And at this point, I use to say "hey, everyone is free to vote as they please." But when the entire republican party sits back and allows this behavior, they are being complicit in this whole circus to a certain degree, correct? I find it fascinating that the only republicans that say anything against the president, and for common decency, are the ones on the way out. The others have no backbone, and stay quiet, as it probably gives them their biggest political advantage. Very selfish, and very against "for the people."

    He did enough to win my family's vote and we're a family that typically abstains out of apathy. I can also say that we're likely to continue voting in the upcoming elections especially for any candidate that display common sense and class instead of trying to sell fear like the Republicans have turned too.

    I can't believe there are many if any left who aren't aware that he's a Russian paid propagandist.

    And I’m the moron for thinking you obviously aren’t from Houston and likely live in Russia.

    FYI - I was halfway joking, but you do a pretty damn good job of making people believe the joke is reality.

    To be clear, you think this is true? Like you believe this is a factual presentation? Goodness.

    This is the genius of the people behind conservative media schism. Someone figured out if you tell people what they want to believe with a straight face, they'll swallow it whole. It doesn't matter if it's actually accurate or not.

    I am curious to see if people get fired from the Beto campaign after this latest Project Veritas video. Andrew Gillum in the Florida governor race had some heads roll in his campaign after the videos were released of his campaign.

    Yes. Yes. Yes. Actors... no. The video narrative being innacurate about the facts of what they were actually discussing and the context yes. Liberal Democrats funding or supporting a Caravan that is the #1 issue driving Republicans to the polls (because you guys are obsessed with fear of brown people for some reason) would be the most counterproductive thing his campaign or any Democratic campaign could do.

    You know who does have motive to make you believe the Democrats are funding the Caravan??...

    You seriously cannot be this ignorant can you? Or you are just trolling.

    This just reinforces that the cruz (and desantis) campaigns are both scared and desperate to stoop to a known fraudulent organization to dig up any possible dirt of the opponent. And also no surprise, the trump/cruz supporters here will go with it, even though it further degrades their own integrity.

    Do you have proof that Cruz and DeSantis actually solicited the help from Project Veritas or is this just another baseless accusation?

    Anywhere in my post do I say the candidates solicited the frauds at pv? The fact that you need to resort to such an obvious straw man argument shows you believe the point I do make is on the mark.

    But did people in their campaigns solicit pv's help? Or did pv take it upon themselves to apply their fraudulent approach to support the cruz and desantis campaigns? Either way... the cruz and desantis campaigns surely accept the pz efforts. Which speaks volume to the integrity of both campaigns. And of the people that support/defend them...

    Well, this goes both ways, left and right.

    You may want to reread the post I responded to. I will quote it to save you the trouble.

    If that is not not implying they solicited the help, I do not know what it is.
