    Maybe not STEMy, but wise. Sounds like someone I would like.

    Business reclassified as STEM is a flat-out joke.

    At this point, under the Republican education plan why even go to college. Just classify yourself whatever you want and go get a job. :rolleyes:

    I did not think it possible to make Idiocrasy look genius. Yet here we are.

    I have an MBA from Michigan. I took rigorous courses in statistics, finance, and technology. It was hard. However, business is 35% science and 65% art. Not a STEM subject in my opinion.

    The more they see, the less they like.

    The Florida governor, once seen as the top rival to former President Donald Trump in the 2024 GOP primary, sits in fifth place in New Hampshire, according to a CNN poll released Wednesday. He hasn't visited the state, which holds the nation's second contest, in more than a month.


    A Washington Post/Monmouth Survey of South Carolina voters earlier this month found him in only slightly better stead — fourth place — trailing Trump and a pair of home-state candidates, former Gov. Nikki Haley and Sen. Tim Scott.


    Ron DeSantis' descent continues, unabated by the debate and time on the trail

    Monthly revisions result from additional reports received from businesses and government agencies since the last published estimates and from the recalculation of seasonal factors, not from "goal-seeking high numbers and then revising them lower when nobody cares anymore
    to ease the glideslope for the coming recession."

    Meanwhile Florida's inflation rate is now 3x higher than the US's, thanks to DeSantis, and US's inflation is now lower than the other G7 nations.

    Nationally, Unemployment rate was 3.7 in August, 2022. It is 3.8 in August, 2023. Which is still quite low.
    Total nonfarm payroll employment and employment continue to trend up. In health care, leisure and hospitality, social assistance, and construction, Construction employment continue to trend up. Employment in professional and business services are still adding jobs. Average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls are rising. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have increased by 4.3 percent. #Bidenomics

    No he is wrong. There are no "post abortion tools." But the #1 killler of kids ages up to 19 years old are guns and gun violence. Too bad nothing's being done to stop that. But post birth abortion? There is no such thing. Abortion is terminating a pregnancy. So you can't perform an abortion after the birth. This is pure fear mongering. But there is post abortion. It is a specific counselling needs of women who have experienced an abortion or who have experienced a miscarriage. But there's no post birth abortion. Reread your post and maybe you'll see how ridiculous it sounds.

    I think you missed the point of his comment. You might try to re-read it with an eye for sarcasm.

    I felt like it was worth it for DeSantis to take the shot, but I clearly underestimated Republicans' continued loyalty to Trump after J6 and Republicans under-performing subsequent elections. That said, DeSantis is still in second place in the betting markets as far as I can tell. While he may also be getting bad campaign advice, most of DeSantis' problems seem to revolve around his style, personality and his inability to make friends and build relationships. I'm not sure any of those things would have been different whether he ran now or later.

    yeah, truth be told I’m not sure whether he’s been getting bad advice or he’s not been or is incapable of taking good advice. Currently sitting at #2 but on a precipitously downward trajectory

    Amazing. First, being against CRT is not a case of being "called" racist, it's just objectively racist. Second, he acts like it's a badge of courage that no Republican dares utter, when all of them are in lockstep on the issue and make it the center point of their campaigns and think it's an electoral winner. Even if it wasn't racist, it certainly not courageous. He's just such a bad person. His whole appeal is that he's probably racist and homophobic and will be unapologetically cruel.
