Re: Current Events Thread
I was worried about Trump winning CPAC's strawpoll over the weekend for 2024 until I looked up historical winners and found that CPAC has only picked the winning nominee a handful of times. Hopefully this is the norm and not the exception.
Re: Current Events Thread
It is concerning how they still cow tow to Trump…everyone is afraid of even talking publicly about challenging him. I have thought this all along. The Republicans need Trump because he brings out voters they wouldn’t otherwise get. I’m not impressed with any of his theoretical challengers, though. Even Desantis won’t bring the voters out like Trump can.
Normal, respectful, traditional politicians won’t bring out the radicals like Trump can.

Lol, okay. Mitch is an adult. An adult actually posted that.
What makes you an expert on adulting?
You’re literally talking about woke cartoons.
I was talking about popular tv shows, you're insulting people at a grade school level on a forum.

Eh, I think he'd be more interested in making the next nominee. It'll also depends on if Biden actually runs for a second term.

Re: Current Events Thread
I want DeSantis. He would be unbeatable.
That's who I'm leaning towards at this very very early stage. I have mixed feelings on his vaccine passport stuff though. Please god, anyone but Trump.

ID...I'm sorry...but it seems like you watch a ton of TV...you seem to always be caught up on what every news network is doing. It seems you have all kinds of insights into Rick and Morty and Southpark.

I don't know why you'd think he'd be unbeatable. It's still very early to tell but he's relatively unknown at this point. Also, we've never had a president from Florida before. My guess is that Trump will eat him alive if DeSantis dares go against him.
I can tell you this...no one here in the upper midwest is talking about DeSantis.

Re: Current Events Thread
Quit watching television, ID. You're free to parrot the inaccuracies of pundits on television without a second thought, but watching Rick and Morty or South Park is just too much freedom. I for one feel extremely guilty I enjoyed award winning television over the years that forced me to evaluate new ideas and get exposure to people from different cultures or life experiences. I don't like books either, so please stop reading any material you'd like in your "free" time.
I know we're exiting a pandemic that kept people indoors for 15 months (and longer if some politicians had their way), but enjoying a TV show at 11:00 at night on a Sunday is just beyond the pale.
