The only outcome that was in doubt here is still in doubt

Same old shit in Indiana. Like it's still 1849 or something.

Georgia is a conundrum, to the likes of me. How Walker is even IN the election, never mind in a run-off, is puzzle #1, with MTG's place a very close second. |
Like everywhere the overwhelming majority of people just vote red team or blue team with no thought involved

I'm just ready to sit back and watch the Trump vs. DeSantis fight for the GOP ticket. Maybe both will end up in jail before the primaries happen? Maybe Pence sneaks in, throws both under the bus hard and gets the nomination? Grab some popcorn!!

Trump has been back for one day and I'm bored of him already. The popcorn is stale. But yeah, maybe his obvious insecurities about DeSantis will spark some life back into him.
Is anyone inspired by any potential candidate on either side?
It seems like it's the WNBA draft class of 2021 out there.

I would like to see the impossible and Michelle Obama throw her hat in. And if I'm really dreaming, Liz Cheney. (Maybe they could team up on a ticket and get this country where it needs to be!) I want a viable female candidate. It's unbelievable to me all of the countries that have/had women leaders, then I stop and look at where the US is. Certainly not the world leader we like to think that we are.

"Back"?? When has he ever left the American consciousness? I must have blinked and missed something.
I'm at least glad to see that the media has not been tripping over themselves to give The Turd the oxygen that fuels his latest resurgence. Murdoch himself has set the tone for how this should be covered.

Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post didn’t waste a minute to tear Donald Trump down after he announced his 2024 presidential bid Tuesday night. Wednesday morning’s front page read in the lower bar, “FLORIDA MAN MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT,” and insultingly stuck the news on page 26 under the headline, “Been there, Don that.” |
A couple days ago, I heard MTG making a fascinating statement on a Bannon podcast: she posited that, with such a narrow majority in The House, there might easily be enough *flippable* Republicans to create a majority by joining the Dems in selecting Liz Cheney as Speaker. Probably more of a "scare 'em shitless" fund-raising tactic than reality, but....how delicious could THAT be?

Now, I could really get behind THAT!!

I think Michelle Obama would only run if Biden opts not to run for a second term AND Harris doesn't decide to run as well. This would require those three to have a joint meeting and push Michelle to the front of the Democratic ticket. Michelle would easily beat anyone the GOP put up.

Michelle has seen up close & personal what politics at that level can be. I doubt she’d want anywhere near that mess again.

The parties are very similar on a lot of issues these days, particularly as regards workers, after the Democrats began abandoning unions in favor of the rich ($50,000 a plate DNC meet and greets and PACs and SuperPACs). And now the Democrats are becoming bigger hawks than the Republicans. Both parties will also up the bloated USA defense budget over and above what the president requests.
