@LarrySabato Every single day of this current era - I’m reminded of this quote. “The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubt, while the stupid people are full of confidence.”. —Charles Bukowski.

This is why Liz Cheney maybe threw away her career. Not because she wanted progressive adoration. Not because she wanted the love of CNN. She made a stand because it was the right thing to do. Regardless of the cost.

It’s not the job of a President to destroy leftism (or rightism). You can advance your policies without regard for the other side’s views. But the President has no business using government power to try and “destroy” his political enemies. Huge warning sign.
DESANTIS: “If I’m the nominee, I will beat Biden. I will serve two terms and I will be able to DESTROY leftism in this country.”. “I’ve shown in Florida an ability to win huge swaths of voters…while also delivering the boldest agenda anywhere in the country.”

Let’s apply Occam’s razor here. If 90% of the people you worked with think you’re unfit, what’s the simpler explanation? That they’re all part of some grand, coordinated conspiracy fueled by bitterness and resentment? Or that you just happen to f*cking suck at being president.
Former President Trump had 44 cabinet secretaries. 40 of them don’t support his 2024 campaign. Neither does his Vice President nor any of his former chiefs of staff.

When you love a man so much that you seem to kind of be hoping for a disease to take hold in America as it might take the heat off your guy - it’s probably time to take a moment and reflect on what you’ve become.

Let’s be honest. What Trump did around the 2020 election should have been enough to consign anyone to political oblivion. The idea that Kamala Harris, a conventional liberal Democrat, is such an unbearable alternative that one could simply ignore Trump’s offenses is absurd.
Let’s be honest here. What Trump did on January 6th was morally reprehensible, truly unforgivable and insanely wrong! But we have to be honest with ourselves. Kamala Harris is a fucking idiot! When China invades, I’d rather have a scoundrel at the helm than a literal retard. 😂.

I’ve probably had 1,000 discussions on this. I certainly could have written in someone or voted for Amash. But the fact is - only one of the two major candidates was going to win. I felt the danger of 4 more years of Trump outweighed the danger of 4 years of policy I won’t like.

Trump rallies are filled with falsehoods. Tons of them. Not a single one seems to bother Professor Turley. But Walz cracks a joke and Turley needs a fainting couch. They cannot not handle it when people play by their rules.
Not a promising start for campaign tenor. Gov. Walz just referred to the false couch claim involving Vance. He referred Vance on a couch and said "he really did that" before adding that he is "weird as hell.". .
