I've done a 180 on Vivek. While he may not be the most prolific of endorsers (in terms of picking winners), I've come to respect his ability to communicate the conservative message in a way that is both respectful and effective.
He has won over a lot of Republicans due to his excellent communication skills. Maybe there was a method to his endorsement madness that actually may help to win a plurality in an Ohio Republican Primary.

My wife won't vote for Donald Trump under any circumstances, so in order to maintain a degree of household comity, I will still be voting for Kennedy here in South Dakota. Where I can be reasonably assured the Democrats won't suddenly carry the state for the first time since 1964.

This might end up being the safest election of Rick Scott's career. Every general election he's been in up to this point has always been a razor thin margin of victory.

Here's something I never thought I'd say:
Kamala Harris should be President.
The Cabinet should invoke the 25th Amendment, and make Kamala the President. If she gives a damn about her party's electoral prospects, then she should immediately announce she has no interest in being the party's 2024 nominee. But she should definitely be the President at this stage. This should really be non-controversial and bipartisan. But of course, it isn't.

Biden is cooked.
Trump is not a good debater, and Biden showed this in 2020. But the last 4 years have apparently taken a toll. Biden looked senile.

Honestly I think Ron Paul is the only Republican that actually could have stood a chance against Obama. GRANTED I think Obama was destined to win his second term, but of the options I think Paul was the only one who COULD have egged his way in.
First just looking at hypothetical polling, Cain performs poorly. (Granted that some poll had Paul doing bad, but Paul's numbers fluctuated more)
Second: Paul's 2 campaigns birthed the Right Wing wave of the 2010s; The TEA Party, Trumpism, the Alt-Right, etc. His election would have been seen as the culmination of the TEA Party "winning"
3rd: He probably could have convinced at least some people in the Dem Tent to support him, especially younger Anti-War Progressive types who were still kinda figuring things out ideologically. (I know someone who used to be a Ron Paul supporter who is now a borderline communist, so they do exist.)
Doesn't really address Cain that much, but I honestly don't see how anyone but Paul stood a chance

RP: You asked a gotcha question which User#9951 failed to answer and responded with a bunch of gotcha questions which you failed to answer. Not responding to someone's questions does not make a productive discussion. Even if it's a bit of a Gish Gallop.
My questions weren't Gotcha's. I mean it in the most GENUINE sense. After seeing what the Pro-Israel Side has been saying recently I genuinely want to know if Dylan actually cares about Palestinian Lives, I've seen way too many Pro Israel people literally just say that Palestinians doesn't matter, as opposed to the subtlety that was used prior, such as the case when Fetterman just flat out says that Israeli Lives matter more than Palestinians
RP: You certainly do need to know and address the reasons behind the actions to try and solve anything. And the Palestinians certainly do have historical reasons for their actions. As do the Israelis. But those valid reasons do not justify atrocities on either side.
Ok....where did I say it did? You all seem very intent on debating random points that might be out there in the ether, and not MY points. Try having a conversation with the person actually here
RP: User#8509 didn't use the word "Terrorism", so that's an inference on your part.
So when he randomly brings up "do you condemn Hamas" after i critique a guy for saying Israeli Lives matter more than Palestinian Lives, I am supposed to assume he meant, something else?
RP: The current conflict in Gaza is indeed rooted in the Hamas attack.
WHY did they form? WHY dd they feel the need to attack? Maybe if we learn the why, we can stop doing the why and then move forward.
RP: And Fetterman is supporting the Israeli side in it, so I can see why he woukd connect the two. I think it's a bit of a stretch to assign Fetterman's position on the matter to making him "Anti-Arab", unless there is info I haven't seen on that?
I mean, aside from the video where he is asked point blank does he value Israeli Lives more than Palestinians and moves past it, and does nothing to express sympathy towards Palestinians and exclusively talks about Isreal and protecting them and supporting their government with no conditions regardless of what they do (Which is bombing Palestinians relentlessly and trying to annex Gaza). So....I would argue very anti-Palestinian
RP: Of course, getting into the artifical bounds between "Terrorism" and "Freedom Fighter" is a whole different discussion.
Again a point nobody is making but go off I guess. Man u are right, Modern politics is crazy when even you are doing the same thing that u say me and Dylan are doing....

Neither of you are attempting to have a productive conversation and both of you are ignoring the points the other is making. Such is the politics of today.

Man it sucks that Fetterman literally just became a huge Anti-Arab Politician. Like FR, this is almost beat for beat the Republican position since at least the 2000s

Tekken_Guy: Why was Brad Sherman listed? Calling out protesters for unruly behavior is not “Nutjob” material.
Blatantly lying about protestors claiming that they were trying to break into a building, that they are pro Hamas, that they were pepper spraying Police; when video literally shows he exact opposite... I'd say that's pretty nuts.
Considering we have a woman listed as a "Nutjob" for opposing the genocide of her people, I figured Sherman's being here is very much justified.....

Feels like this race has been trending away from Biden. PA NV and maybe even MI are probably all shifting to Trump/Republican nominee. The drop down for Trump v Biden with independent candidates seems pretty accurate as to where the race is imo.
Despite many Democrats exuberance over the mid-term elections, there were tremendous warning signs. I think its highly possible the Republicans will sweep the White House, the Senate, and the House next year.

No, Ritchie Torres being a simp for Isreal is not surprising, thats literally been his thing since day 1.
He's wrong and people seriously need to pick up a book, go to a wiki, or do any research into the Isreal Palestine Conflict
When you punch someone for 75 years, don't be shocked they punch back
[Also: Hamas bad so people can't say I am pro-Hamas]

First Cornel West now RFK Jr. Biden is going to be cooked if they both steal his votes.
According to my calculations: West gets 2/3 of the votes from Biden and 1/3 of it from Trump and is currently polling at average of 5%, so he gives Trump he boost from 1% - 2%, enough to flip to AZ, GA, PA, and WI, to Trump.
