    Eating a Little crow

    I've made it clear that I'm a life long republican who is no fan of President Trump. However, I also said that if I lived in a swing state I would have held my nose and voted for him. Being in Alabama, it just wasn't worth standing in line for an hour, especially since everyone else on my...

    I don't know what is worse

    Trump's bombastic, rambling, often factually wrong, and often mean spirited demeanor Or Kamala's whiny voice, creepy laughter, and inability to give a concise and coherent answer to the simplest questions.

    RCP Average

    According to Real Clear Politics polling average on 10/1/2024 Harris has a 2.0 lead in the polling average, which is well within the margin of error for pretty much every poll. For context, on Oct 1st 2016 Hillary Clinton had a 2.7 lead in the polling average. More importantly, Trump is...

    Do Democrats fall in behind Kamala Harris?

    So far it is looking like a coronation of Kamala Harris as the Dem nominee. I wonder what the law is for this sort of thing. (update: apparently both Joe and Kamala's name are on the FEC paperwork so she can use the money already raised) Can one candidate just give their campaign funds to...

    Realistic Peace in Ukraine

    It is looking more and more that Ukraine is unwinnable for either side. It has basically turned in to WWI trench warfare except instead of artillery they are using drones. What is going to have to happen for the war to end?

    The Trump campaign is doing something smart

    They are sitting back and watching the Democrats fight. We've heard less out of Donald Trump in the past week than anytime I can remember. I bet there were planning on announcing the VP pick this week but decided to wait because they want to keep the "Will he or won't he step down" debate in...

    Trump Guilty on all counts

    Does this cost him the election? Will a majority of Republicans vote for someone who has been convicted of a felony by a jury of his peers? If he wasn't named Donald Trump the charges never would have been filed against him. However, I do believe he was guilty of the charges.

    Primary Results-Election Speculation

    Nikki Haley won the Vermont Primary and garnered 15-30% in most states on Super Tuesday. As far as I can tell, no incumbent president (I count Trump as an incumbent) has never lost a state in the Primaries and went on to win the general election. The latest examples I can find are Ford in...

    I voted in the Republican Primary

    Does that mean I can gripe about either Trump or Biden for the next four years??? :) Also, I actually got polled last week. It was interesting. I got a text message asking if I would be interested in a political poll. When I replied Yes I got a link to a website to answer the polling...

    Is Ukraine Aid a Jobs Program?

    Most of the Ukraine aid money isn't going to Ukraine. It is going into the hands of American Defense Contractors. Lockheed Martin, RTX, Boeing, General Dynamics and the others are making a ton of money. And they employee a lot of Americans. Does that fact have any influence on how you feel...

    Joe Manchin is thinking about running as an independent

    West Va Senator Joe Manchin is considering running for POTUS as an independent candidate. Manchin is a pro-life moderate Democrat who often works with moderate Republicans. In a divided senate, Manchin may be the most powerful Senator, as both sides court his vote. He has held up several...

    Have cell phones made polling obsolete?

    Now that we don't have land lines and everyone has caller id are political polls obsolete? Most people screen calls on their cellphone and will not answer if it is not someone in the contact list calling. It seems to me that this skews polls because the only people answer the polls are people...

    If something happens to Trump???

    If something happens and Trump can't run. Anything from a health issue to the SCOTUS ruling he can't be on the ballot... Would you support Robert Kennedy Jr? The reason I ask is that in a new Quinnipiac Poll that asked both Republicans and Democrats who they would support if it ends up being...

    Tim Scott and Elise Stefanik are getting the most buzz.

    How should Biden respond to the drone attack that killed three servicemen?

    How should Biden respond to the death of three American Servicemen in Jordan? Invade Iran Bomb Iran to back to the stone age Do Nothing Get all our folks out of Jordan, they don't belong there anyway Blow up some camels and tents in the desert somewhere and call it retribution. Some combination...

    Trump and Covid

    I know I've dissed Trump a lot on this board. But I do want to say this. If Covid had not happened we would be looking at the last two years of the Trump administration. In Dec 2019 the Economy was rolling along and people had more or less gotten used to Trump's twitter tirades. Then...

    Nikki Haley's next move

    Nikki Haley is not going to win the nomination for the Republicans. However, she has proven herself to be a very good campaigner as well as being intelligent and well spoken. Getting 40% against Trump in any race is an accomplishment considering how devoted Trump supporters are. She doesn't...

    Ron DeSantis Making it official

    It looks like DeSantis is going to declare his candidacy today on a twitter spaces audio feed with Elon Musk. Will you be supporting his campaign with either money or time? I'm considering doing both. But honestly, he is not my first choice. If Haley or Scott had any chance to win the...
