    I get that everyone gets to vote no exceptions but if you don’t know who the vice President is perhaps you should stay on the couch and not vote.

    I’ve often felt there should be some minimum standard to be able to vote with respect some sort of knowledge.
    But we all get a vote.

    Just look at some simple man on the street interviews of people, even one’s done on college campuses.

    Sad.

    Did you also think that Mexico was going to pay for the wall? I really don’t get it. Trump makes up shit like he won the election and somewhat otherwise normal people buy into it. There was no evidence of Trump winning the election other than his saying that he did. Why the hell do you believe it? This big lie has fractured the country. Trump should spend his remaining life in jail for his big lie alone.

    No vice-Presidents do well as benchwarmers. No one has a clue what they do.

    What percentage of staffers of VP’s typically leave before 4 years? My guess is that it’s almost all of them.

    Poll ending yesterday. Adding two caveats, first it's way too early and secondly it's only one poll, still not good news for Trump.

    Well we know that the ones of those we watch are heavily edited and we don’t know how long they film to get their idiots. And we don’t know if the idiots are plants or people goofing on the camera man.

    This is the difference. The right tells us “anonymous” staffers criticize Harris; whereas Trump-appointees go on record, with their name and reputation at stake, to tell us how terrible Trump was as President. I choose to believe the volume of actual people who go on record as opposed to the nebulous and convenient “Anonymous”.

    What's the typical turnover rate for staff during an administration? Without that information, you can't possibly draw any inferences from this random statistic.

    Give us the Harris names, and I’d agree with you. I don’t think I’m in the minority when I say I’m not inclined to believe a nebulous tweet by Charles Kirk.

    I’ve said this on another thread, but Biden’s come-to-Jesus moment could not have been more perfectly timed. And what is actually eerily incredible is that the announcement was primed by an orchestrated right-wing media blitz daring Biden to drop out.

    Damn, all the Dems on Too Hot are excited. Not sure you are truly excited for Kamala Harris because if you were being honest, there is probably a long list of other Democrats you would prefer to be the nominee. But as long as anyone, even Kamala Harris, can beat Donald Trump, all is good even though that same person ran a disastrous campaign just four years ago and had poll numbers at 6% when she dropped out.

    Biden was about the only Democrat Trump was ever going to be able to defeat and as long as Harris doesn’t screw up (which is no given based on her history), she should win the race going away.
