Republican voters only: Trump Vs Romney 2020 GOP nominee

Trump or Romney 2020?

With all the other big recent news, the NJ fake document scandal has gotten little play. But you are right; I do not think it's going away.

With 12M to 20M illegal immigrants in the country it shouldn't be hard to find some with jobs. The problem seems to be that the employer fines (if any) don't come close to covering the cost of deportation (if that is even done any more).

I'm telling you, buddy:

1] Mandate E-Verify

2] Put some teeth in the penalties

3] Watch the problem greatly decrease

The "job creators" won't let that happen and neither will those that like more rapid demographic changes.

It's not the job creators that you have to worry about, it's the left wing who desperately want immigrants, illegal and otherwise, because they know they'll get votes.

It is the combination which makes up a majority of congress critters.

The Republicans only care about providing cheap labor to their business buddies so they will keep the political contributions rolling in. It's all about getting something and not about enforcing the existing laws.
 
I held my nose and voted for Romney when he ran for president and I held my nose and voted for McCain. Both times my only incentive to vote for them was because I thought they would be less damaging to the country than the candidate on the left. In 2016 I was faced with the same thing. It was either Trump or give it to Clinton which I felt and still do that would have been a terrible choice for the country.

Trump is a lot of things but the man has shown in the last two years that he took his promises he made to the American people to heart and has a list of accomplishments.

So I asked myself do I want someone who takes their promises seriously even though he isn't a polished speaker and seasoned politician or do you want someone who claims to be self righteous, speaks the double talk quite eloquently and would shove his base under the bus every time he found himself in a corner.

Frankly, I would take Trump over a Romney or a Kasich in all their self-righteousness and milk toast ways. You know milk toast was once served to sickly people because it was easy to digest and full of calories. I tell you right now Kasich couldn't even carry Ohio.

What Trump has done has transformed the Democrat party. They once stood for pulling out of conflicts around the world until Trump said he was pulling troops out of Syria and Afghanistan. Now they are for keeping our troops overseas.

They use to stand for a secure border and voted just a couple of years back to fully secure it with a barrier and believed the pouring of illegals across the border needed to be stopped. Well because Trump is actually trying to do that they now have a new tune. Now they believe that ICE is bad, sanctuary cities are good and a barrier on the border is inhumane.
 
I was going to vote on this poll but, when I realized it was not going to close until June 8, 2035 and 37 minutes after midnight on that date, I figure I have lots of time to do so.

Dawg gone it! I didn't see the expiration. Oh well, I don't think I'll b here for that , so I guess it's okay I already replied!

Trump hasn't transformed the Democrats, he's shown them for what they are. They don't actually have any positions anymore, they just hate anything Trump or the Republicans do and oppose them because it's Trump or the Republicans. They are the Anti-Republican Party and they don't care who it hurts, so long as they can oppose the right.

Do you not see that as anti-establishment, and further anti-American?
Oppose, and offer new ways, yes. Declaration of mere opposition to duly elected officials for sake of resistance, no.

There seems to be a debate on whether or not Romney will try to make a run for the presidency in 2020, and try to challenge Trump. This question is for Republican voters (and independents who generally only vote Republican) only. Would you prefer Trump or Romney as the GOP presidential nominee in 2020?

Even though it may not be an issue in the future. I'd be more than willing to vote for Trump again.
He's done a better job than I originally thought he'd be able to manage and most of the ways that some democrats are acting this whole year, are doing more than enough to add weight to his second term.

I haven't seen anyone that really stands out in the republican party and even though I'm still looking. I doubt that I'm going to see any actual hopefuls in the democrats lineup this year that aren't already tripping over themselves in the same regressive stupidity that currently controls the party.

I never really liked Romney that much either, being that he couldn't ever do more than flip & flop on more choices than any other politician out there. It got even more worse for him when a campaign research book, held by McCain's own people got released and it revealed even more crap that Romney should've been ashamed of.
 
Any republican who would willfully hand the presidency to the democrats is a RINO.

So putting country above party means you're not a true Republican.

Other than your pretzel-like reply implication; who has stated exactly that? I must have missed it.
Besides, where does a Socialist(self identified) even begin to speak of Country? I thought you were all one world persons, no?

In the modern politically polarized reality that we have, I don't think anyone is "American" anymore. Everyone has an agenda and nobody cares what's best for the country. So long as they can win, they'll burn everything around them down.
 
I want either John Kasich or Jon Huntsman. But I would support Romney if my other choice was that POS Trump.

I still maintain that Huntsman was the smartest GOP candidate to run in years. How he never gained any popularity the way a moron like Trump did speaks volumes to how much the GOP has fallen, and how radical their base has become.
 
Any Republican but Romney. Romney is a nicey nicey loser who has never been able to figure out whether he is a liberal or a conservative. He's far more interested in being liked than being right.

If Trump doesn't seek or get a second term it wouldn't bother me. I like most of his policies, but not his disconnect between brain and mouth. But I voted for him to stop the establishment freight train wreck. That he did. Democrat and Republican alike.

You just described Donald Trump without the "nicey nicey" part.

lol, you just described the Republicans during the Obama presidency. Hell, you described the Republicans since they lost the presidency in 1992.

I understand your feeling of futility, but at the end of the day, we are still America. It is up to you and I at the ballot box to keep it going and growing. I promise you, I will vote for only people who protect and defend the country. I know you will not allow this malaise to tire you. As American's, we all need your apt attention, no matter which party you may support, or whether or not we agree with you on a position.
Chin up friend!

I can't vote (non-Repub), but I'm eagerly awaiting the results!

I don't like that rule. I am constantly changing my party so I can vote in the primaries for who I believe the best candidate is. This only seems to happen in the local where I support the person who I like. I could care less about parties and their puppets. It is in the local level where there is really any choice. Once you get to the house and the senate they are all bought and paid for. Both parties. Romney is nothing but a party puppet. If it is between him and the democrats puppet I would vote 3rd party no matter who runs out of necessity of actually having a choice.

The problem that we have is that there are no conservative parties in America anymore. We have a far right religious lunatic liberal party and a far left social justice lunatic liberal party and both sides cater to the extremes and seek power for the sake of power. No one is working toward making America better, just in getting re-elected. And the American people have stopped caring about the good of America, only what they can get for themselves. We usually have no one worth voting for, at least in major elections and the whole concept of fiscal responsibility seems lost on the modern American politician. It's just "how can we buy more votes?" That's not how we're going to win this, but I'm not so sure there is a realistic path to victory anymore.

I know it seems hopeless at times, but the good news is folks like you and I still want the best for the country, and are turning up our noses at the odor of both Party's. Stay the course, we have come through worse and will here as well. When I look back through history, I am struck by the ability of or forefathers to somehow see into the future and land us softly here. Today, you and I are the forefathers(no sexism intended) I have faith in you, and my fellow Americans to land our progeny in an even better place. That is our charge.
Want proof of progress? Look at the well meaning common folk here with you. Different ideas, yes. Our union is a come together of difference.
C'mon, don't tire, we need you!

It was the logical implication of the person I was quoting.

This question is for Republican voters (and independents who generally only vote Republican) only. Would you prefer Trump or Romney as the GOP presidential nominee in 2020?

You should have added Jeff Flake and probably even John Kasich to your list. Both deserve a higher ranking than just "someone else".
 
I’m not voting, but does this assume that if Romney wins then Trump won’t run for re-election as an independent? Republicans are going to care if their vote is split or not. Because splitting the vote with an independent candidate will guarantee a Democratic victory.

I wouldn't be too naive about the chances that the left vote would be split as well. If Bernie hadn't challenged Hillary and if Jill Stein hadn't run, Hillary might be president.
 
As far as I know a primary challenger to an incumbent president of their party never won the general election. So what you are asking is how many republican voters want to give the 2020 presidency to the democrats by voting for Romney or some republican candidate other than Trump. I think the RINOs might go for it. I think most who absolutely don't want the democrats to win 2020 will vote for Trump.

If we learned one thing from 2016 it should be not to make any big bets on anything from here on out. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
