Certainly some truth to that - firmly believe that many on the left want Trump to be the nominee as they seem him as unelectable in the general. Very similar to the strategy to push forward similarly GOP nominees in the midterms. Even CNN appears to be in on it, just based on their extensive coverage of DeSantis's Twitter follies compared to more mainstream outlets. I think it's a great short term strategy, but in the long term not all that good for the country as invariably some or many of these undesirable candidates will get elected. And it's not like the Dems are necessarily doing a great job of vetting their own candidates while hoping for disaster on the GOP side. It's how we end up with the likes of Fetterman and Biden holding office - better than their alternatives, but pretty crappy nonetheless.
Lol if you think Fetterman, who is only capable of muttering gibberish and voting how he is told, with clearly less decorum than anyone in DC (including Trump) was better than his alternative. I would only expect a died in the wool donk to say that.
Wearing a hoody doesn't match the lack of decorum displayed by these two ...

Which made this episode in the House :rofl: funny.

I actually did vote for Oz - I couldn't in good conscience vote for a man who was obviously physically unable to perform the job. My comment was intended to reflect that of the electorate who still picked Fetterman despite his clear limitations.

It's fake news that 1.5 million (or any number near that) attended trump's inauguration. Just another of trump's many lies.

Therefore your claim that 300k is more than attended Trumps inauguration is Fake News.
But we can all still agree that both the inauguration and the DeSantis announcement were less than April the giraffe giving birth?

No it isn't. The size of the crowd at trump's inauguration is up to interpretation and there are some that estimated it at 250k people which is less than 300k. At best it was 600k, considerably less than Obama or Clinton's 1st inauguration.

We can be sure that it wasn't the largest crowd ever so that claim is Fake News. trump and Spicer are liars.
Yes it is. You DEFINITIVELY stated ie with certainty that less than 300k attended Trumps inauguration, which is FAKE NEWS.

No major knocks on Scott that I can think of as far as conk Senators go other than he’s pretty much a career politician.

He did co sponsor a knee jerk criminal justice ‘reform’ bill in 2020 (that Trump signed- pox on him) that was in response to a rogue cop killing a career violent criminal. Its done nothing to keep crime rates from rising, nor would I expect it to. Local and state policing is like education- a local and state matter and the feds shoukd butt out.

Heard he could be a little soft on illegal immigration, but of course he would be FAR better than Biden, and probably better than any donk.

I’m not sure how he’d be fiscally, but he did just vote for the kick the can down the road debt ceiling bill, so he’s not Rand Paul.

Some of the other major issues I don’t know enough of his track record on. Bottom line if his name was Tim Smith and he was white, would I vote for him in a conk primary? Not at this point.
