I don't see her lasting long if she does get in. But she wouldn't be a bad a choice, but I would choose Mike Pompeo over her or Trump. I would like to see Ron stay in Florida also
I really can’t get a good take on Desantis. I hope he is saying and doing this nonsense to be more popular with the ignorant base of the Republican Party but I am not certain. People tend to become what they pretend to be.
The nonsense things I am referring to are the Fahrenheit 451 type things he is doing in schools. They are wrongheaded and borderline evil. If it’s not to rile up the knuckle draggers then why would he do it?
And here’s where I win — As an independent, I get to think EVERYONE is scummy, all while looking down on you all from my objective, dare I say elitist, perch…
So your stance is you have none. Checkmate? Doubtful. Join the other libertarians who poke at each side but don’t take sides so they can’t lose. You took the easy way out and you’re not winning because you’re not playing.
Please. Everyone in politics does that. Hillary road the coattails of a predator. (Supporting victims is a core belief that she claims.) Reagan changed parties. Obama sold out on financing his own campaign. And on ...and on... It wouldnt matter anyway. Many here will mock her for her actual beliefs, rather they are from selling out or not. It simply doesn't matter. You know its true. It's damned if you do, damned if you don't. Either way, the left will chose a strategy and oppose her. So why lean even remotely toward the side that will oppose her? Same goes for Biden. Lets be honest, outside of politics it is doubtful that a devout catholic of his generation is going to be very supportive of abortion. But a life of politics has taught him that leaning a little on that issue will hurt him with his side while the right would just find other things to hate him for
Be careful. Some here will call you a fraud if you do that because they think moderate beliefs are just right (or left) wing based on their own bias and your inability to toe their line. It's why I was literally once called a bigot and a RINO in the same thread by two posters on opposite sides when discussing bathrooms years back.
They have to actually run is my point. I would be willing to nominate Romney right now and pencil him in as the guy. I think he would beat Biden in a landslide. I dont think those folks are going to run however.
If her nomination meant getting certain folks to suddenly champion the benefits of diversity and breaking glass ceilings, it would be interesting on the other side as well given many argue that we're not supposed to care about sex, race, or ethnicity. In all seriousness, I haven't followed her very closely. But she's a two-term governor and UN Ambassador, which is an objectively impressive resume.
1. I do wish you guys would get your stories straight. Some here hate her because she pledges fealty to Trump (allegedly)... And you are claiming she wont. Ya'll should go back to the drawing board. 2. Why would Independent Trump hating voters like me will hate her for that? That seems odd? I hope she burns him to the ground and his political ashes are blown of the Mar-a-lago shore and sink to the bottom of the ocean to be crushed by the dark abyss.
Being a true moderate is fine and probably ideal. I pushed back on his post because he claimed he had a winning strategy by hating on both parties. It just seemed too hands off for my taste. As usual, you make a good point though.
You’re still picking on one side though(right). So your previous post shows why you won’t vote for Nikki. I didn’t see how you made the same conclusion, one that Tilly just pointed out for you, to the left candidates. Perhaps I’ve missed those points in the past.
