It's wrong to think that Trump's name keeps liberals going unless you're alluding to the Trump revulsion which also afflicts independents. The dems are ecstatic that Trump announced. That's different to 2015. A lot of Republicans aren't too thrilled either.

Trump will be the easiest to beat.

Definitely. 

Been there done that.

I like that he shook things up, and exposed the system for even the most ignorant of folks.  And an elected official actually trying to keep his campaign promises was quite unique. ????

 

But him, yak yak yak, and the news about him is about as boring as it can get.

 

Any other thoughts I have and of those that can't not stop thinking, talking about him would be offensive ... I'll stop now.????

 

Does seem to sell and great click bait

 

What promises would those be? Remember his trillion dollar infrastructure bill?  In the software industry they call that vaporware.

How about his promise of a better and cheaper alternative to Obamacare? He actually claimed in an interview that it would be ready to go in a few days? Have you spotted it anywhere?.

When he ran, he said he thought taxes on the wealthy were too high. Instead he reduced taxes on them. And especially on himself given the huge tax break given to the real estate industry in his bill.

He promised to support authorizing Medicare to negotiate drug prices. He reversed himself on that one in the interval between the election and the inauguration.

The right seem to be living under a delusion that they are in fact the silent majority but folks don't like to say so because of fear of the left.

Dare I interrupt this little flight of fantasy to ask for some sort of credible citation to prove your (very very false) assertion that DeSantis wants to replace democracy with theocracy? It is the 2nd such false statement made this morning concerning the GOP having implemented some sort of Christian Sharia law for the USA - the other concerning the Supreme court using some sort of Christian law that supersedes the constitution. Again, while I accept it may be a popular theme of the left it is totally untrue. Moreover, you know it to be false, so why bother with these false claims?

Five key takeaways from the 2022 midterm elections

Trump had a bad night

Trump's endorsement was considered essential for Republican contenders in GOP Senate and House primaries across the country. However, in Tuesday's midterms, many of the candidates handpicked by the former president lost their races.

If you are referring to his heroic efforts to stop predators(of all alphabet and non alphabet persuasions) from preying on young and vulnerable school children, then it is a gross mischaracterization to claim he wants to "stop drag queen story hours". 

 No idea why protecting children would cause such a barrage of fake news and histrionics.

Aren't there already laws about preying on school children? Do anti woke laws stop this or any form of predation? How?

Of course there are such laws.

He's scapegoating LGBT people just like Putin.

He's making LGBT people's very existence to be invisible in schools in ALL GRADES.

He's responsible for spikes in anti LGBT  violence and LGBT youth suicide. 

There was a recent case in Miami where a school wanted to cover LGBT history in a 12th grade class.

It was denied by the school board in response to fear of financial consequences from the fascist DeSantis law.

Refusing to concede, Kari Lake, the defeated Republican candidate for Arizona governor, said Thursday she is assembling lawyers and collecting evidence of voters having trouble casting ballots on Election Day as she considers her next move.

 

Lake, who was endorsed by Donald Trump, traveled to the former president’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida on Thursday, her campaign spokesman told The Associated Press. The Washington Post first reported that she attended a luncheon held by the America First Policy Institute, an advocacy group created by former Trump advisers.

It's hard to understand why Lake is doing this.  Elections in AZ are largely run by Republicans.  There were Republicans on the same ticket in AZ who won.  She has zero chance of changing the outcome.  Maybe she thinks that by refusing to accept defeat she won't be labelled a loser.  That didn't work out too well for another loser she's emulating.

She's visiting Lard Lago to worship the Biggest Loser. She's his likely running mate. She knows she lost and won't be governor but by playing this fascist game she just might end up president Dangerous lady indeed.

It's hard to imagine Trump choosing Lake as his running mate.  She appeals to the same people who supports Trump already.  He gains nothing having her on the ticket.  On top of that, she's never won anything.  But Trump is known to adore people who kiss his a-- and lies on his behalf.  So who knows, he might just do it.  It's a dumb move, so it's certainly within the realm of possibility.

It's clear, based on past history, that Hobbs hasn't got a chance and that she might as well concede to Lake right now. MAGA!

I disagree.

She's a woman and very slick and polished.

He first ran as having no political experience so why should she?

She's a winner if she says her election was rigged.

He already delivered ending Roe vs Wade to evangelicals 

Also at the end of the day it's the top of the ticket that matters.

"Trump-Lake ticket a winning White House formula"

 

 

The moment I heard Lake was flying to Lard 'o Lago I figured Lake will probably be the pick.

Very astute assumption. He might think that she'll win over suburban women who are least likely to vote for him.

I'm not saying it can't happen.  I'm just saying it would be a dumb move.  If he wants a woman on the ticket, there are plenty of others who'd make more sense.  Kristi Noem, Nikki Haley, Elise Stefanik, etc.

What a difference in style. It goes to the quality of the candidates that McConnell complained about.

 

Democrat Adam Frisch conceded on Friday to Rep. Lauren Boebert (R) in the race for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, saying that an expected recount was unlikely to change the outcome of the election. 

In a video call with reporters, Frisch said that he had called Boebert to offer his concession. He said that while the race appeared to be headed for a mandatory recount, “the likelihood of this recount changing more than a handful of votes is very small.”

“We are not asking for this recount. It is one that the citizens of Colorado mandate through our election system,” he said, telling supporters not to donate to his campaign for the recount effort.

Kari Lake is Sarah Palin in the persona of a daytime talk show host.  No real issues to speak of, just "we're conservatives and we rule!"  Cheerleaders as opposed to leaders.  Soon Kari will be where she belongs, on Fox News or one of the other right-wing cesspits.  Maybe even RT.
