Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

a big dem impediment to having a good candidate from a voter pov, obvs nothing compared to corporate influence etc haha, is too many dems have expert syndrome they cant just like something they try to nate silver it, absolutely no theory of change just a bunch of cheap heuristics and historical anecdotes they think are universal laws, conclusions worse than if they were just folks

also their messaging sucks

imo thats more a result of the things they want sucking than being bad at messaging particularly

i think if michelle obama ran as an independent that she would win.

yah for sure. "compromise" instead of, you know, "crazy stuff" (a 32 hour work week is not that crazy. but this will go nowhere.)

https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/4728

Oh absolutely that bill will go nowhere, but otoh, things like that are what plant the seed for eventual change so... I'm not mad at it, even knowing it's just a symbolic thing at this particular point in history.

other things aside i dont think that coming together as a nation rhetoric plays these days

the example I keep bringing up is how everyone thought "build a wall" was the dumbest shit regardless of political affiliation but once Trump started winning primaries suddenly it became popular on the right. imagine that with an idea that's actually good and can be accomplished

xpost When they go low, we go LOL

xpost I nominate "Soak the Rich"

we as a nation must hug it out

you know upon reflection could the country go for another vague inspirational obama campaign, they might im not gonna rule it out, obvs there are other particulars re michelle not being a politician but big picture it could maybe work

I love that all the former living presidents are all buddy-buddy, a club that Trump will never be allowed to join

illuminati application rejected!

To say nothing of the former presidents’ children

they're all Skull & Bones, he's just a bonehead

Yeah they all go to Yale for Christ’s sake

oprah could win. people love oprah. oprah/obama 24.

Right wing heads would explode. Which would be a bonus.

They've already convinced themselves that Michelle is actually a man.

There should be a Trump Library but it's just full of all the bad press about him.

Would vote for RFK before Oprah

what'd I miss -- Obama's running again?

running for... podcaster of the year!

Lol

The spectacle of Donald Trump selling $60 Bibles is “a spit in the face of people that really believe”, the Rev Al Sharpton said, amid widespread backlash over the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s latest moneymaking scheme.

“Blasphemy certainly comes to mind,” Sharpton told MSNBC.

“I think that people ought to realize how offensive this is to those of us that really believe in the Bible. He’s doing this during Holy Week. Tomorrow is Good Friday, Sunday is Easter. Of all of the times you want to hustle using the Bible, why would you do it during Holy Week, which is really a spit in the face of people that really believe in the Bible from a Christian point of view?”

i can't watch al sharpton on t.v. i just can't.

i feel like he belongs in a time capsule with trump.

couple old school new yorkers gotta love it baby

i was sick of both of them in the 80s! i just read too many tabloids back then...the daily news was on fire back then.

morelike al bluntton amirite

"sweatsuit" sharpton and donnie "trump the board game" trump, just a couple neighborhood guys

Crackin’ knuckles, breakin’ hearts, buyin’ BRYLCREEM by the case

ugh...

LOOOOOOOK AT MEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

just forever and ever. don't they ever get tired of it?

Citing a source “familiar with the details of the business arrangement”, the New York Times reported that Trump is “getting royalties” from purchases of the branded Bible

holy shit, he wrote the bible? what a mensch

yeah hes Q

My father-in-law taught a high school social studies class where one of the students was a teenage Al Sharpton. FIL says that Sharpton was very bright and opinionated.

sounds about right

can someone who speaks "conservative" do me a solid and explain why it's okay for lara trump to be the head of the RNC but joe biden should be impeached because his son does business? thanks in advance!

It's okay when we do it but not okay when you do it?

Because Hunter's penis

But Lara Trump's penis is a-ok.

I mean, blatantly hypocrisy trails just behind cruelty as central trait of modern conservatism. Tribalism at its finest.

Preserve your sanity and remember the rule is "we do what we want; you do what you're told"

Hypocrisy is far down the list of things to hate about the Right. They believe anything is justified.

That Christie considered a third-party bid at all is in part an indictment of Biden.

. . .
Prominent former GOP officeholders, from George W. Bush to Mike Pence to Paul Ryan, also haven’t been contacted.

This writer is fucking deranged

I reached out to every current Republican lawmaker who has refused to commit to Trump in the general election. Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) Mitt Romney (Utah), Todd Young (Indiana), Bill Cassidy (Louisiana) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) all said the same: they’ve not heard from Biden.
“It is surprising,” Collins told me. “It’s especially surprising because President Biden does understand the Senate, he has personal relationships with some of us.”

Contact them for what? To hear their expressions of "concern"? JFC.

Maybe it’s too early, in the campaign’s mind.

Would their voices even make a difference?

good morning, where's the consequences?

I was promised property seizures this week, guess not!
