    The Defense Department was formerly the War Department and as with the CIA, there are all sorts of prohibitions on their operations within the United States. Homeland Security is composed primarily of four departments: Coast Guard, Immigration, Border Patrol and Cyber-Security. All but the latter were formerly part of the Treasury Department. The latter. I believe, is new. So, basically, Homeland Security was carved out of the Treasury Department.

    Yeah, choosing a kid doesn't seem like the best move. Leadership positions should probably be reserved for people with longer than 5 minutes of public office experience.

    Because I said that someone was unable to name a Republican who echos Trump?

    How does this mean that they 'worship' him?

    I'm not sure that it's hard to believe that he could be President again. I mean, if Biden does a bad enough job and he is radical enough, and Trump ends up as they Republican nominee, anything is possible!

    Hmmm? True. Virtually everything is a "probability." The pandemic could get worse, not better. A giant meteor could strike the Earth. Climate Change could flip. Trump could be president again. Possible? Yes. Likely? No.

    You don't think that Trump governed conservatively? If so, then you don't even know what conservatism is.

    What do you mean "he is needed, both play into it?"

    Awww, how precious. Another Cheney thread. I find it funny how folks on the left LIKE someone based on how much they HATE someone. Liz is a smart lady and knows what she's doing. She can now do the whole lib circuit. Trevor Noah, The View, and probably a book coming real soon.
    I understand this woman. Who would want to admit a presidential election could be cheated? I wouldn't want to admit that if I was in her position. She's very smart and I wish her well.

    So you think she is deceptive and manipulative and you approve of that. Okay, we have your number.

    I think she need to worry more about surviving Wyoming Republicans first.

    I don't think I used the term "worship." I suspect there is a wide range of reasons for his support...ranging from the lesser evil to worship...I'd guess the latter is between 5-10% of his support at best.

    I meant to say 'follow.'

    What makes you say that they are "following" him?

    Can you support this with some sort of polling data?

    Are massive import taxes conservative? Is hiking the debt by 8 trillion in 4 years conservative? Are insults, blame game and mockery conservative? Is non-stop lying conservative? Is it conservative to send handouts to everyone (working or not) in form of checks bearing his on name? Is attacking free press conservative? IS mocking disabled people conservative? Is calling war veterans "losers and suckers" conservative?

    Was it any different to Bush's version of conservatism?

    Rhetoric, not policy.

    Is it specifically NOT?

    It is if the so called 'free press' is attacking conservatism. Are you actually suggesting that the press isn't anti-conservatism? You sound more like a partisan liberal/democrat criticisising Trump's attacks on the media.

    He mocked him SPECIFICALLY for his disability?

    No. This was disgraceful from Trump.

    You think he really doesn't have many followers? I suppose that's possible. I remember hearing about a poll that showed his support had fallen to around 32%, a few weeks ago. I'd guess he has a base of around 20% no matter what.

    An argument can be made that if the African-American vote in Milwaukee, Detroit and Philadelphia had been as high as in the Obama elections, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania would have stayed Democratic and Clinton would have been elected.

    You were suggesting that Republican politicians follow him, not the general public.
