    the biggest mistake dems made was not having a primary. Biden would have a tough time winning the nominatoin after a few debates against other dems.

    Actually, same for trump. He loves attention but was scared to debate against Repub canidates, even with Haley calling him out. And he's still scared. Its a close election and we only had one debate. Just seeing the juxtaposition of Harris vs Trump on the same stage hits home how cognitively diminished he is and the voters see that.

    The primary support for Haley from the left doesn't matter. It is the primary support from moderate conservatives who want nothing to do with Trump that really matters. Haley would win in a landslide. The right would be unified behind her.

    Republicans were “predicting” hyperinflation going back to the Obama years. Not just regular inflation, but hyper inflation (which is defined as 50% per month). To call them “prophets” on that topic because of one single year of 8% inflation from the post pandemic snapback is absurd. Unless your standard for prophet is that of a broken clock.

    I’d say inflation coming out of the pandemic was worse than most “experts” predicted, although some of the dire predictions they did predict never panned out (such as gas shortages due to shortage of taker drivers, that never happened). I think what blindsided people was the housing bubble and food inflation. The supply chain stuff coming out of China was predictable, and yes, transitory.

    I think the “immigration crisis” is a bit similar. This isn’t something Republicans prophecized so much as something they’ve consistently complained about. Problem is when it comes time to actually improving the situation or doing anything about making the border more orderly, they’ve walked away from two major bipartisan bills that I can remember off the top of my head. Under Obama it was the Gang of 8 bill blown up because of “no amnesty” nutbars and hardliners on immigration, and this time it was basically for no apparant reason at all other than keeping it as a campaign issue.

    You are aware that the job lasts for.....a period of time? And that it is possible that people change over......a period of time?

    I think you have a bunch of folks in Ukraine that would disagree with you on that one. Probably some NATO leaders as well. If given truth serum, they say they would rather be dealing with President Harris.

    And he will be dragged across the finish line on 1/20/25. Great work! “Let’s save Democracy!!” Oh, Biden, hurting in polls? “Let’s save the Democrats - replace him w/ Kamala!!! She’s awesome!!! YAY Team”

    You could also call it cable media, mainstream media, or government media—you pick. Fox falls into those categories. NewsMax is not carried by all cable stations.

    He definitely had good days and bad days. At times, the drugs worked really well.
