Don't know what he would love or not love, all i know id what he said, I am sure those of you who know more about these things would prosecute the issue affectively in the coming pages of this thread. .

What is more troubling than trump is that he has exposed willingness of a large part of the american public to buy his nonsense. Regardless of what happens with trump don't think that other players (trump wannabes) have not taken notice.I hate to be so pessimistic, but I am afraid we are in for a rough ride unless cooler heads prevail.

aren't we all

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Not all of the policies he proposes are bad, it is that he is bad, and cant believe anything he says. He is a poisoned vesel , anything good placed in that vessel will be contaminated and ruined. I watched him talk about Ukraine , all he does is brag how he will solve the issue and how he will do it quickly, but he never says how he will do it. He is an empty suite , an actor acting the part.

I am sure this thread will deteriorate into a food fight between those pro Thaksin and those against. Personally I don't know enough about Thai politics to have an opinion one way or another, But being from the Us and having gone through this age issue with biden. I find it refreshing to see a politician with a pragmatic view on the age issue, .

It is the opinion (correct IMO) that he is too old for another term.

Brilliant !! Thank you

Is there a politician that we don't disagree with some of their policies? Who would had been your first choice that you would totally agree with. Kamala Harris was perfectly positioned to be the first and realistically, at this point the best choice. Politics is the art of the compromise, to get to dance you have to first make it to the dance.All the pie in the sky will not get you there, Obama compromised Biden to the Clintons to get to the dance. And that would be a safe argument. IMO if Kamala did not accomplish much , its the fault of Biden . Power is an elixir that is hard to give up. and plays tricks with your mind. You enter in all sort of rationalizations as to why you and you along is indispensable to the job. The cemeteries are full with people who once thought they were indispensible.Yet the world went on. IMO it was a tactical mistake of Biden not to engage Harris more, he should had considered the possibility that at his age, he might be a one term president. In fact when he was running against trump he said that he would be a one term president and "a bridge between trump and normalcy" . but as i said Powered is an elixir and hard to give up. Someone else , is imposible!! actually physically impossible.First there is the Issue of donations,. Money is the oxygen of American politics. Second there is the Issue of getting on the Ohio state ballot, third there are the 103 days constrain until the election, and fourth there is the issue of a campaign infustracture, that harris has inherited from Biden, but nobody else has. Harris is the best possible choice, I am afraid there is no other, She will make a fine president.

Yes indeed with about 100 days left until the election and a week until the deadline to get their candidate in the Ohio state balot, the democrats should hold televised debates to choose a candidate. If your side's argument weren't so sad they would be funny. Actually they are not even your argument, you are simply regurgitating trump's talking points. And don't tell me that Biden did not have one, He was a sitting president, he run unopposed same as trump did for his second term. Every sitting president except on in 1852 has gotten his party's nomination .

If there is any indication that you don't hear yourselves talk, 0r that even if you do, there is definitely no communication between your brain and your mouth. Imagine, a trump supporter accusing the Democrats af a coup. Diabolical how Harris got Biden to fall apart at the debate so that she could instigate this fiendish coup of hers .Diabolical !!

Why would she not be? How is she less qualify than any of the rest choices, or are you also buying into the trump narrative?

Are you guys for real?Do you even hear yourselves talk? was there any doubt who your nominee would be?Do you know who the cochair of the RNC is? There is even talk of renaming the RNC to the trumpNC How much does Romney , Pence, Cheney have to say in the big tent of the RNC?

Not even Melania

You are absolutely right about the Ankara peace summit where an agreement was reached to end the war but then it was nixed by the Brits, and by Brits I mean Americans because the UK would do nothing in these matters without the consent of the US. Ukraine was nothing but canon fodder in an attempt to weaken Russia. I realise that I don't know everything that Biden knows that lead to that decision, but from my perspective an evil decision. I have said it many times in this forum, and have gotten flack for it, But in the end when all is said and done Ukraine will get the same deal that it could have had even before the war started, and certainly at the Ankara summit. Only now with the additional loss of a generation of Ukrainian youth, and destruction of the country. Sad very sad, With friend like those in this forum and elsewhere who supported this war, who needs enemies? Zelinski should be hung from the highest tree for what he allowed to happen to Ukraine .

I think they will convene a virtual convention to circumvent to Ohio state ballot issue, But what is a convention? If not function where the delegates convene to nominate a candidate, and if a candidate is nominated beforehand, what then is the purpose of a convention? A place to make speeches?
