I genuinely want them to interrupt Joe or Kamala giving a numbingly boring, vapid speech to just go LIVE to Trumps empty podium waiting for his arrival. They did this Shillery so many times it owned

Hasn’t ratings for news companies dropped a ton since Biden took office?

The allure of the Trump ratings probably means he could easily be allowed to have constant coverage again.

oh they absolutely would do the same wall to wall coverage again, no question. my assertion is that trump not only needs that, he can't really be his authentic political self without it, and it's an open question how long he'll be able to maintain

he is already much more puddingbrained than he was in 2015-2016, and while i wouldn't bet against him, he rather famously doesn't exercise and eats like crap. he's at the age where a serious health crisis is not so much an if but a when

Time for a little robot chauvinism!

I think with Trump you also need to factor in diminishing returns. Like the chuds are all for him, but he lost 2020 because everyone else was sick of his poo poo. After having lost, and things calming down and returning to normal-ish under Biden, Trump is not going to have the fervor of 2016 behind him nor the incumbency advantage of 2020. He’ll have loser stink. And he is the candidate who would most mobilize those “I just don’t want to have to think about politics anymore” voters to turn out again because the idea of having Trump back would be too much to bear.

Meanwhile with a DeSantis those voters might not care to turn out cause he seems something akin to a stable adult on the outside, or hell they might just vote for him.

Harris has the negative charisma of Clinton without the full force of the party apparatus shoving her down voters throats. Harris will get obliterated and the party will learn nothing from it because they will pay a bunch of people to tell them it was because she was black and a woman and not because she's an opportunist with bad political instincts

on the other hand she doesn’t have the same baggage as Clinton so if it’s Trump people might be incensed enough to stop him. she’d lose to any other Republican tho without a doubt

I mean in reality Biden’s the only Dem right now capable of winning barring someone coming out of nowhere in the next year or two

harris doesn't have hillary's 30 years of baggage but she's a much better target for an obama-style whisper campaign of her being a communist sharia law manchurian candidate with none of obama's ability to fight against it by looking like a guy who could be the president on a tv show

tbh i can't think a more fitting fate for the khive than to have kamala unceremoniously booted off the 2024 ticket because biden says she's too "loud" or something, only to fade away into obscurity

linkedin says hes a senior partner at some law firm. also hes one of those 40+ dudes whose dads are deffo dead or retired but he still keeps the Jr. in his name. which is lame, like roger stone is 67 or something now and he still goes by jr as if anyone is gonna confuse him with his corpse dad.

like i could legit put a III in my name if i wanted to but that poo poo is lame as gently caress and nobody cares and it makes it look like you were running out of things to fill out your business card

honestly i dont get the drive of these politicians. if i could serve several years in congress and then gently caress off to the private sector and earn enough to retire within 5 years id take it in a heartbeat. kamala, like, wants to be america's cool teacher who gives them fun homework or some poo poo and also gives a big 20 minute speach on the last day of class before summer that nobody pays attention to

it would be funny to watch them try. if how things have gone for her so far is any indication, she's not gonna be the heir apparent. at this rate, she'll be lucky to be a serious candidate by the time Biden is done

she's hillary but somehow with even less charisma, way smaller of a cult of personality, and even worse political instincts. and she's so new to major politics, she doesn't even have a patronage network like the clintons to fall back on

the only way kamala runs is if joe dies and they're gonna do whatever they can to keep joe technically "alive" so i expect 2024 will be biden v trump again and biden would probably win it if the election was right now but who knows what will change by 2024

in 2020 harris was the choice of the clintons' backers while obama's guys were more split between buttigieg and deval patrick until obama himself directed the consolidation behind biden

the only big dem that i can think of that i think would feel confident enough to go up against her is buttigieg because he's even more of a psychopath then she is and has genuine support from his mckinsey/wall street/intelligence fellow travelers. by that i mean his career wouldn't be over if he fell out of favor with obama and the clintons and the other party bosses. look at what happened to the last couple presidential candidates who tried too hard to win without being a favorite of some big party faction: martin omalley and julian castro both had their careers taken out back and shot.

gavin newsom has been positioning himself to run for president for years but his big donors are the same as harris's.

maybe andrew cuomo would do it
