      I don’t think this guy is interested or even cares about the opportunity to mock you, but he raises good substantive points. I think that Trump lost re-election as a sitting President is pretty irrelevant these days. Also, when did a sitting President lose and then successfully clinch the GOP nomination as efficiently and effectively as Trump did? A lot has changed in 4 years. People can hardly remember last Tuesday let alone all the atrocious shit that Trump has said or done in the last 8 years.

        Oh I remember everything the GOP has done, even during the Obama era. They shut down the government twice out of spite at that time. I will never forget.

        Him losing as a sitting president is quite relevant. He didn’t “clinch the GOP nomination” afterwards. He was already at the top. And yet he lost. Why? Because the majority didn’t want him, just like they didn’t want him last time - only this time around people got up and voted against him. And people will get up and vote against him. Me included!

          He clinched the GOP nomination for 2024 is what I meant. Also I’m glad you remember all that happened. My point is that many people do not.
