Trump's got the one thing all these guys (including DeSantis) wish they had, which is complete and utter confidence. DeSantis is their reality, a red faced guy in a polo shirt who despite their efforts knows that everyone can see and laugh at their insecurities and failures.

Trump also had a huge advantage since he had effectively been campaigning since the 80s, at least. He had his own show, he had guest appearances on sitcoms and movies, his name was plastered all over the place. Presidential elections are almost 100% popularity contests and I'm pretty convinced that any major celebrity could do what Trump did, which is terrifying if you think about it for a minute.

Everything I’ve read suggests that most of the Jackass crew ended up being good dudes- Wee-Man is beloved by his neighbors, Steve-O got clean and helps other people in recovery, etc. Bam is a huge piece of poo poo who recently was filmed drunkenly yelling at his family in a restaurant and had a warrant out for his arrest for assaulting his brother, IIRC.

Yeah glad Steve-O got it together. He had an interview where he mentioned everyone wanted Bam in the newest movie & all he had to do was not come to the set bombed out of his mind & couldn’t manage it. Even Tom Sizemore stayed sober for Saving Private Ryan.

Donnie's pretty hosed if the special counsel wants to charge him in the classified documents case - plenty of eyewitness testimony and funny timing that should pretty clearly cover obstruction charges. https://twitter.com/jdawsey1/status/1661795852971638790?t=WDLlYySoEssYXiTtc6p4FA&s=19 And yeah, Bam got arrested recently after running away from the cops and into a forest, so that's still not going well.

Bam needs serious mental health and medication, and something for him to hold himself accountable. Besides whatever poo poo he got from his upbringing (and we all get baggage) he has the double whammy of TBI and Chronic Pain, which is enough to make most people act a fool. Couple that with (his own admission) that he never processed Ryan Dunn's death. Becoming famous young wasn't good for him or to him, either, and amplified any issues. I'm glad most of the Jackass crew came out the otherside ok. I just wish Bam could get himself right- not for my own entertainment, but because dude got physically hosed up for our enjoyment.

My worry is that Tom Cotton steps up as the "sane, stable" R candidate and while he would normally get pantsed by anyone with an ounce of charisma he'd probably dominate Biden on the decaying economy if it continues to get worse by the election.

The best point I've seen online today is that most newspapers' conservative columnists represent about 1.5% of the country right now. There probably is no "Other". A majority of the Republican Primary voters have seen what they want and don't want a Lite version of it, or someone saying that it's bad. They'd vote for him in the primary just so he could potentially get elected and pardon himself to get out of prison. There's a majority of trumper votes in the primary, so it's basically cult poo poo. All the others are just competing to split the "Other" vote and/or spend down their campaign accounts and/or get to fundraise and spend their money.
