  • Total voters
    50
  • Poll closed .
Haha, super liberal but non political I should say.

Love her, but the stereotypical teaching/medical research PhD that votes left without paying attention.

I did get her to vote Tim Scott in the primary though.

That's yuge actually. What was the trade off?
 
How the heck are we skipping K Noem? Wtf? She's a governor and not a recent Democrat. What am I missing here?
While she would normally be an ideal candidate, she unfortunately is open to a lot of criticism with several PR mistakes she's made. In regards to Sarah Huckabee-Sanders, she's worked for Trump and has been immune to criticism by governing almost mistake free.
 
Re Massie- If he takes AG Sec job, how is he replaced, by whom? And assume if Mitch ever stepped down or dies, same rules?
Reps are replaced only by elections. I presume there'd be a special one in May at normal primary time though I don't think KY has any 2025 regular elections.

As a Senator, Mitch would be replaced by a Beshear appointment immediately till the 2026 election. Net, I doubt Mitch steps aside before Nov. 2026 election. People may not like Mitch, but Beshear is on a whole nother level.

Andy won't be able to mix it up with the typical DC Dems in debates. He'll have to go heavy-left to compete but I don't think he can. Shapiro has a leg up being in the Keystone state for non-DC Dems.

I loathe andy but be will be a strong competitor to be on the ticket. Hes just folksy enough the uninformed won't know hes legacy politics and part of the big machine.

I can easily see the machine having a picture of jd Vance on a PowerPoint yelling "dont we have one of those?" And Andy getting the nod.
 
She murdered her dog…which is like murdering a 16 month old human to a large segment of voters.

She put her dog down, or she "murdered" it? I must not have been paying attention to the news that I don't watch. I was under the impression she put her dog down the old-fashioned way (which is better for the environment btw).
 
I don't like her at all on the ticket. She is moderate but not really conservative enough. She was literally a dem a few months ago.

I don't think Vance is conservative really either but at least he plays the part.
Nobody would be as conservative as I am. Not Trump, not Vance. Maybe Charlie Kirk. But probably not even him.

If I were President, there would be some serious shyte going down.

Even Reagan was a little wobbly a couple of times.
 
She’ll definitely be on the short list…

But Stefanik is:

- Young

- In the Congressional Leadership

- From NY, which Trump loves…but more importantly…look at the stats from today. NY and especially NJ could be flipped in four years with the right candidate.

- Very good friends with Don Jr and family
Stefanik will be solid going forward but in 2028 she'd have to overcome a lot to supplant Vance, DeSantis, and even another female like Huckabee-Sanders. I'd kick the can on Stefanik to 2032 if Reps lose in 2028.

I like SHS. Thought she should have been on this ticket over Vance to be honest. Just don't see Noem in the same light as others I guess.
 
Vance, Tulsi as VP. Can’t have two more white dudes in 2028.

Tulsi is qualified, appeals to moderates on both sides, and can fundraise.
I'd say its waaaaay to early to call. Obviously Trump himself will be the one to give his blessing. Honestly I like the current version of Tulsi and understand that in Hawai'i she had to be a Dem....but I want to trust but verify that we can trust her.

That’s the narrative that will be used against her. Yes, she put her dog down…but “murdering her dog” will be what’s used by any primary/national opponent…and it will be effective.

I said in my redpilled group chat that Trump should put Tulsi as press secretary. She is way over-qualified but as a former congressperson she'll know how to navigate those waters and hold her own against the non-sensical left wing journalists.
 
As long as things are good Vance will have the obvious leg up on the field. However the Republicans have a solid group of candidates between the aforementioned JD Vance, Ron DeSantis, and Vivek Ramaswamy. There's also a very high probability that a very viable candidate emerges by 2026 that hasn't been considered that takes over the party by storm. There are obvious examples from both parties in the past (Obama, Trump).

On the other side early frontrunners look like its Gavin Newsom, Michelle Obama, and Josh Shapiro.
Mike had it on a silver platter THIS election. Would have waltzed into office. I just don't think she has the stomach for it.
 
Bad idea to put him as Ag Sec. Can't afford to lose his voice in congress
I think good Ag policies could win more votes nationally than his one seat is worth. JMO. Also, he may be restless after 12 years in the swamp. Plenty of good NKy Conserves to replace him.

I could easily see that, but my comment was in regards to her being the 2028 nominee. There's just too much in front of her to overcome to be the one to replace Trump in the WH.
Yeah. And I said that she will not be the one to replace Trump, but is the way early favorite to be Vance’s VP .

Wtf are you trying to argue about?

I would like to see her appointed to something like UN Secretary or the head of one of the agencies with an eye to dismantling it.

And she will overcome it, as it should be easily pushed aside by anyone with a functioning brain, especially when compared with the BS that euthanizing them is any more humane or beneficial.

I get that a big percentage of people would rather someone else do what needs to be done in just about every uncomfortable circumstance, but that is one of the many problems with the world today. It's chickensht, and I'm tired of people excusing it. Give your animals the respect and honor they deserve by not taking them someplace cold and foreign to them, and putting their life in the hands of a stranger.

Man this world is fkd up

The post I quoted without context said she'd be on the short list? I'm not arguing anything other what I've already said. If we're talking past each other then clearly we're on same page.
 
Hang it in the Louvre:

MAXINE WATERS: “It’s not that the Democrats did anything wrong or differently. We did everything fine. But now there is now The Internet. We have to figure out how to get information to people. We have to teach people what the new systems are and what it means to use ‘The Zoom.’”







(I hope the Dems don't have Jeffrey Toobin teaching how to use 'The Zoom')

Next up- Maxine says the internets are racist... just like those pesky IDs

Disagree on DeSantis think he had his chance and faltered. I personally believe he struggled in a lot of the debates.
You can't discount the job he's done for FL. Who was the last governor who was better? I don't doubt he'd do better in debates in 2028 than he did last time. Plenty more experience.

Dude, stop. She's a lefty. She doesn't belong on that podium. Trump should rehire Kaylee.
 
These House races that are yet to be called have me a little nervous. For instance, on the Senate side, the GOP candidate in Nevada had been leading until lately, now his opponent is slightly ahead.

GOP currently has 206 seats, and of the remaining ones, I see the seven where the GOP candidate is ahead with a comfortable lead given the % of the vote that's been counted. That gives you 213, or five short of a bare majority. There are 10 other seats where the GOP candidate has the lead, but not my much, especially given the % of the vote in.

AK- 1 seat (democrat incumbent but state leans GOP)
AZ- 3 seats (toss ups)
CA- 6 seats (these are obviously in GOP-leaning districts, but are still close and hard to say what the final outcome will be in some)

So, that's a max GOP seat total of 223. Not much margin of error. You win just half, you're at a bare majority, which is super dicey given the the lack of party discipline in the last Congress. The House is key because it has subpoena power.

There are also a few seats where the democrat candidate is leading by a narrow margin and that haven't been called, but from what I can see, the final outcome isn't likely to change. Maybe the one in western MD, I guess, but slim odds on that.

On the Senate side, looks like it'll almost assuredly be 53-47 GOP; outside shot at 54-46.

Vance would eat him up in a debate…and he cannot/highly doubt will take on Vance in 2028.

He had major funding last time.

He will have Elon, Thiel, Heritage, AFP, etc all against him in 2028.
 
You really can't be this stupid. Who unscrews the toothpaste for you? Ffs
Can't get voters limited to taxpayers and property owners with that law place, can you? So why is it stupid to tell OC why he can't have that with that law there? I'll wait.
 
This might be my favorite article ever. Per Vox, Kamala lost to Donald Trump because of a global trend against incumbents. I wonder if they know that Kamala has never been president but Trump has. What are they even talking about? Do logical argument structures even matter to these people?

This has to be AI, right? @WayneDougan

223 is better than 221 today. But count on the Crazy Eight to gum things up to slow down change votes. They'll probably start with wanting a different Speaker.
