Why would a republican support Trump other than party loyalty?

And I don't mean in a Biden vs Trump way. I just mean overall why is he the one to lead the party

I really like his policies. In fact I like his policies better than any President since Ronald Reagan. Here's a list of his policies that I agree with:

1) Deregulation of the private sector
2) Tax cuts for small business
3) Better trade deals with China and North America
4) Get out of the Iran Nuke deal
5) Get out of the Kyoto climate change deal
6) I like his SCOTUS judges and some other federal judges he's appointed. They're much better than some appointed by other Republicans, i.e. Souter, Kennedy and O'Connor.
7) Support of the 2nd Amendment
8) Pulling our troops out of the Middle East
9) Being against kneeling for the national anthem
10) Secure our borders (enforce our existing laws)
11) Crack down on sanctuary cities
12) Put Americans first
13) Space program
14) Voter ID laws
15) Repeal Obamacare-although he and fellow Republicans have failed at a replacement plan
16) Make NATO nations pay their fair share
17) Support of Israel

That's a pretty long list. I don't think most Americans agree with 17 policies of a President very often.

Most of those are half truths or kinda useless. #7 is a flat out lie since he's done more damage than his predecessor

And Trump actually beat them all in an open contest. I was as flabbergasted as anybody but the results were clear. The GOP voters were not happy with their status quo candidates and took a hard pass on all of them.

That's exactly my point. The gop abandoned principles and picked a reality tv star to 'own the libs'. Turns out that's a terrible choice

Trump needs to run on that lost and not engage in the personal attacks he is famous for. Its not as fun for him and he loves to do it, but the people that respond to the Trump that likes to insult people are going to vote for him, anyway. Its the moderate, more traditional Republicans he needs to worry about, and the list you provided (with a couple of exceptions) is what he should be defending. He needs to transition from cheap shot artist to solid recounting of his policies that might attract moderates.

But I suppose that is for the RNC convention thread next week.

The GOP picked Trump not to own the libs but because they wanted a fighter. After wimps like McCain and Romney the GOP wanted someone who would fight back. Gotta admit, they got that

What’s so terrible?

Other than Coronavirus (would have happened to any President in office at the time), what’s so bad under Trump?

He fights imaginary battles or ones he created in his mind. It's the way he needs to operate and is not conducive to deal making

I agree. There are a lot of winning issues politically in that list. Trump needs to talk about those. He even has some new ones such as law and order

insurmountable debt? Gun rights (shut up hog), stealing money from defense to build a border monument, EOs, etc

His main issue is he completely lacks any communication skills

What better gauge is there to judge one's standing on the 2nd Amendment? If they think he's done a good job defending it, who are you to say otherwise?

I'm a gun owner who is paying attention. The NRA is not the protector they claim to be

He's done more damage than his "gun grabbing" predecessor
