    Oh, wow. You took the bait. Fruitless doesn't even begin to describe the pain of trying to engage with this fool on an even remotely intellectual level. He stopped after the second word and was already moving to his next Hannity talking point. This is who they are: Mindless trash.

    Not sure how you could see a worse alternative than Trump, and especially his brain-dead fans. If Haley was on the ticket, I'd be knocking on doors. But this POS and his bigger POS fans needs to go, never to return again. This is why I hope they get violent when they lose in November.

    And don't expect it to end soon, because Bibi's out on his ass the minute it does. Israel/Palestine: The Sid and Nancy of Geopolitics (walk. . . No, RUN away!!!!).

    You mean the Haley who campaigned on what a POS Trump is and then bent the knee and started kissing his ring?

    AT ALL!

    Funny thing is Trump isn't even conservative and he's far less conservative than Haley or DeSantis. But, you know, Simps gonna simp!

    But he's never doing any of that for many of the reasons you stated. But somehow the "high information voters" don't see that. Probably explains passing on the double-digit shutout (Haley/DeSantis) for the coin flip in OT (Trump).

    If you want a future in the R party, you have to eat turds these days. I don't blame her. It's either that or just give up on national politics altogether.

    I accept reality and think, ultimately, she's the best they have to offer. So, yes, I want her to remain a force lest someone like Vance take her place. The Thiel people - and their Galt's Gulch fantasies - need to be kept as far away from the gears of power as possible.

    Agree with this. In 2017, then President Trump wanted to make the “ultimate deal” to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and put his son in law Jared Kushner in charge of achieving it. As a policy, how did that work out in light of the current conflict? And how is that different than the Harris policy wanting to end the conflict?

    One big difference is in execution - Trump engaged in the worst possible corruption and nepotism by putting someone with zero experience on the job - who didn't engage the Palestinians in the talks and walked away with 2 billion from SA. At least with Harris, I would be confident, like Biden has, to appoint experienced and qualified people to lead negotiations - that's called leadership.

    What leadership has Biden or Harris shown in the Middle East at all? They are constantly butting heads with Netanyahu publicly, there's a massive war taking place there under their watch and no matter how many times Kamala repeats the same empty line "we need a ceasefire", no ceasefire is anywhere in sight after nearly a year of intense and deadly fighting. Trump's record in the Middle East is one of relative peace and progress. Biden-Harris' record there is a disaster. The only reason you're "confident" is because you're a cheerleader. It is never a coincidence when two major regional wars break out in areas the United States has a direct hand and interest in. Biden's foreign policy has been a disaster... likely approaching a million dead between Ukraine and Israel/Gaza under Biden's watch. And in each case, Biden was very involved.

    The Trump/Jared policy to omit Palestine in talks, and by moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, was a complete abandonment of even the pretense of good-faith negotiations with the Palestinians. Palestine's Mahmoud Abbas called Trump’s plan the “slap of the century.” Trump, after giving Israel everything they wanted, hoped Netanyahu would start a two state solution process to which Netanyahu flipped him the bird. They do not have a good relationship. Without peace prospects, war was inevitable and when Israel let their guard down, as Sinwar predicted they would, it started.

    Under that context, Biden or Harris, just getting both parties to the table will be a major achievement.

    With respect to Ukraine, Trump would encourage Russia to do “whatever the hell they want” to any NATO member country and he would not abide by the collective-defense clause at the heart of the alliance if reelected. That statement weakens the US and NATO, and if anything endangers Democracies.

    Quite the deflection there. Unfortunately, the successor is stuck with the problems left by the prior administration.
