He was just a big-time talking narcissist wrestling type talker that brought all of the know-nothings out.
Look at the state of the country when Trump was in charge and look at the quality of our lives and our country with Biden peeps in charge. Trump's policies kept us safe, great economy, gave us the vaccine, no wars, low gas prices, we never had to beg enemies for gas and we never said men can have babies and we never wanted to teach racism in schools and to let drag queens influence our children. We had closed borders and a lot lower crime and less fentanyl flowing in.

But that might be what y'all like and want. I guess y'all want the country in crazy chaos. Well, we will put a stop to that by voting the craziness out. Sorry! You'll have to get over it.

Think about this....we now have a 'president' that can't form his own thoughts and the peeps behind him have to correct him all the time. He's not allowed to say anything except what he is told to say. He can barely stand up or find his way out of the WH. He needs directions to get around. He needs directions to help him get off his podium after he tries to read the teleprompter. He is told not to answer questions. He is corrupt as they come. He only won because they knew they could program him to do what they wanted. He will get us in a nuclear war yet.

Yep, we will vote this crap out of office one idiot at a time.

There’s no evidence at all that people such as Herschel Walker would do any better than intelligent and experienced people such as Mitt Romney.

That's debatable.

Why does the GOP keep nominating candidates with little if any experience or capabilities, and with screwy ideas or sayings, who lose elections that should be winnable?

GOP, a football player who paid women to have abortions is really the most qualified candidate?
Democrat pick as many poor candidates.

Because the party is now owned by the MAGA wing, and they think these ARE the good quality candidates.

I mean, Trump was a real estate developer and reality TV star. So why not a football player, a news anchorwoman (Lake) or a talk show host (Oz)? The only qualification for office is 100% fealty to Trump and the willingness to make outrageous claims, even if they are false.

The sharp vision of bias peering through rose colored glasses, who pretends not to have a dementia patient as president, or a VP who is a cackling hyena that speaks to everyone as if she’s addressing a classroom of 3rd graders, or a Speaker of the House who appears to be a breakfast martini kind of gal.

You can’t make this stuff up..

Laugh away, but go check the most accurate polling available - the gambling sites and electronic trading markets. Best polling ever is people ANONYMOUSLY betting with their own money.

From Draft Kings:

Odds to win Pennsylvania Senate race - Oct. 26

PredictIt D: Fetterman .37
PredictIt R: Oz .67

PolyMarket D: Fetterman .41
PolyMarket R: Oz .59

BetFair D: Fetterman +110
BetFair R: Oz -150

Odds to win Arizona Governor’s race - Oct. 26

PredictIt D: Hobbs .20
PredictIt R: Lake .81

PolyMarket D: Hobbs .29
PolyMarket R: Lake .71

Odds to win Georgia Senate race - Oct. 26

PredictIt D: Warnock: .52
PredictIt R: Walker: .52

PolyMarket D: Warnock: .50
PolyMarket R: Walker: .50

BetFair D: Warnock: -150
BetFair R: Walker: +100

OddsChecker D: Warnock: -103
OddsChecker R: Walker: -123


So you have Lake and Oz as clear and away favorites, and Walker in as close to a pure toss up/pick 'em as you'll see across that many different betting sites.

Iowa Futures has GOP control of the House as huge favorite (92%), and GOP control of Senate as clear favorite, trending towards huge (61% a week ago, 70% today).

This is anonymous betting with real money. Vegas knows more than Google.

So laugh it up. Methinks you won't find it all nearly as funny in about two weeks.

Mr. Walker has led in the last three of four polls released, though Mr. Walker and Senator Warnock are tied in the fourth.

'538' has this race as a dead tie, two weeks from Election Day.

Kind of hypocritical when you have run Hillary Clinton, John Fetterman ect...plenty of Dems who should have never run in the first place. Why do Dems always have to criticize the wrongs of the right when the left just needs to look in the mirror to see they've done the same things.

These forums are less about critical discussions and more about grammar school theatrics. Pick a reasonable topic to discuss and logically discuss it from your viewpoint without the shaming and name calling.
