I hope we get a debate between Trump and Christie and it's just 30 minutes of fat jokes.

Imo Christie has the best chance at challenging trump cuz he has an actual personality and could be considered "likeable" by some.

Which is to say, he has a .0001% chance as opposed to pudding fingers desantis flat 0%.

I look forward to never needing to think about Jeb Desantis ever again.

Desantis's campaign message is "I'm a republican, not Trump"

At this point even desantis doesn't believe he has a chance. https://twitter.com/kenklippenstein/status/1688905432901816321

Here's another loser alienating his entire voting base.

Regardless of how posters feel about the war, the Republicans he needs to convince are not going to be swayed by complimenting Biden's job on literally anything.

quote:

Democrats and Republicans far apart on how US should help Ukraine

The survey finds broad partisan and ideological divides over how much the US should be doing to assist Ukraine’s efforts to push back the Russian military campaign.

Republicans broadly say that Congress should not authorize new funding (71%) and that the US has done enough to assist Ukraine (59%). Among Democrats, most say the opposite, 62% favor additional funding and 61% say that the US should do more.
Within both parties, there are splits by ideology. On providing additional funding, liberal Democrats are far and away the most supportive, 74% back it compared with 51% of moderate or conservative Democrats. Among Republicans, about three-quarters of conservatives oppose new funding (76%)


Again, whatever you personally believe about the war, it is not popular amongst the only people who matter in a primary.

Chris Christie is as much of an oil goon as any other republican, easily up there with the worst

quote:

TRENTON, N.J. — A $225 million deal between Gov. Chris Christie's administration and Exxon Mobil over dozens of polluted sites and nearly 2,000 retail gas stations was approved by a New Jersey judge on Tuesday.

Superior Court Judge Michael Hogan ruled that the deal is much less than the $8.9 billion the state originally sought, but a "reasonable compromise" considering the "substantial litigation risks" faced by the state in the 11-year-old case that spanned Democratic and Republican governors.

The tldr is that new jersey was going to get almost 9 billion from polluters who turned that state into a tire fire, and Christie swooped in and gave them a 97% discount on the charge.

Yah, Nixon's only real focus was being aggressively anti Soviet which the Democrats had plenty of as well. Everything else was compromised in that pursuit.

Imo he probably would have flat out invaded cuba.

Edit: even Castro was astonished that Kennedy didn't invade.

I am going to predict that Vivek takes a strong numerical boost by being slightly crazier than Trump.
