[famicommander]

Trumpamania, brother.

lol Hogan got paid 50K to do that RNC speech

 

[Dr Shroom]

how does he keeping on WINNING?

 

[BeefFieri]

how does he keeping on WINNING?

He has the ghosts of Ronald Reagan and Shinzo Abe on his side.

Biden at his last presser, speaking to the press corps about how much "Billy" (his favorite brick) has grown:

 

[StevenK]

I don't know who anyone is in this spectacle, but I do still enjoy the drama. On that basis, I rather hope it is Newsom.

 

[SML]

Whoever advised Biden to debate Trump should be fired. He was never going to win a debate against Trump even if he wasn‘t already stage 4 dementia.

Imagine if they'd waited until late September.

 

[SML]

Biden followed up the withdrawal post with an endorsement for Harris, which will probably head off a fight at the convention to install Whitmer or Newsom, or whomever.

Unless the Dems don't care what Biden's camp thinks.

Which is not outside the realm of reason.

 

[SML]

ROFL

 

[famicommander]

Unless the Dems don't care what Biden's camp thinks.

Which is not outside the realm of reason.

She already got the endorsements of Biden, the Clintons, the Black Caucus, and the Progressive Caucus. No way they try to do an end around on her, she's the only option. The Democratic party would eat itself from the inside if they tried the replace a blasian woman sitting vice president with some generic white dude.

 

[wyo]

Lol what a shitshow. Dems already rigged the primary for Biden, now they are re-rigging it for Kamala to defend democracy!

Nobody was going to win a primary against the sitting president regardless of party or candidate. You know that.

 

[wyo]

Probably not but they rigged it anyway just to make sure.

 

[SML]

I'm all for people realizing that party primaries aren't democratic.

 

[Lagduf]

Yep.

The state running private political party primaries makes no sense.

 

[famicommander]

 

[roker]

Honestly, whoever the candidate is it doesn’t matter what they stand for or what issues they want to tackle. They just need to be able to yell louder than Trump.

That’s how you get someone like RFK Jr in office.

 

[Cousin_Itt]

It’s never going to happen, but I wish Mark Kelly , senator from Arizona , would throw his hat into the race. He’s a likable enough moderate to get behind.

Edit: his wife was also a victim of an assassination attempt. That’s the only reason he got into politics. Plus being a former astronaut gives him bragging rights as well.

 

[Average Joe]

I'd vote for RFK Jr. simply based on his push-up capabilities.

 

[SouthtownKid]

That’s how you get someone like RFK Jr in office.

I don't think an independent becomes president in our lifetime. I think what RFK jr probably does is split the Trump vote, despite being a former dem.

MAGA isn’t voting for anyone but Trump.

I meant, with respect to Roker’s comment, that anyone but Trump but just as loud or louder than Trump is how we get someone like RFK, ie a looney on the left.

But as you’ve said many times voting doesn’t matter so I just want to go to sleep and wake up and have the election be over.

 

[Tung Fu ru]

MAGA isn’t voting for anyone but Trump.

Agreed. Honestly, I doubt RFK gets more than a percent or two. That dude is nuts, who the fuck would vote for him? Even his own wife disagrees with his politics.

 

[SouthtownKid]

MAGA isn’t voting for anyone but Trump.

Sure, but not all republicans/non-liberals are maga. Far from it. There even exists such a thing as anyone-but-Trump republicans.

 

[Lagduf]

Sure, but not all republicans/non-liberals are maga. Far from it. There even exists such a thing as anyone-but-Trump republicans.

Among the people, sure but they probably be better served by a different party assuming we could get rid of the duopoly in America.

In Congress who is an anyone-but-Trump Republican? Non-Maga-Republican?

At this point what does it even mean to be Republican?
