The shadow looms … bwahahahha

It’s an interesting conundrum for the few Republicans left standing: Support a horrid and dangerous person or lose. Easy for ME to choose because I clearly see how much worse their losing would be under his “leadership”. But I’m pretty sure that they simply cannot let go because he has so MANY (and so LOUD they are) cult followers.

Both parties need new candidates, Biden & Trump have surpassed their “sell by” dates.

The “Shadow” knows… how to fool some of the people all of the time. Step away from the darkness, people.

Ron DeSantis, at the debate last night, claimed to be a Navy Seal. HE’S NOT, NEVER HAS BEEN.

Live your life in a way so that 200 million people aren’t on the edge of their seats waiting to see your mugshot

They are under his shadow because they choose to be; more’s the pity.

Most mug shots I have seen have lines behind the mug indicating how tall they are. Really wish they conformed to the norm in this instance, shoe lifts and all.

Live by the sword, die by the sword. Or, more accurately, live by the hateful racist misogyny, die by the hateful racist misogyny.

Looks to me that Vivek is the only guy in the group that could be Trump’s Vice-President.

Anybody that blatantly covers up the Bidens corruption, while arresting their political enemies for non-crimes would most definitely steal an election and not even blink an eye.

Some really eyeopening comments here today. The kool-aid gang rides… and donates.

Loved Nikki Haley’s comments, especially on abortion. If I had to vote today, i would pick her over Trump or the others.

With this bunch of losers it’s easy to see who won the debate Joe Biden

I haven’t seen the debate (largely because I cut the cord over a decade ago), but I have been reading critiques of the debate on WaPo as well as social media. From those viewpoints, I can only say that Vivek was the nuttiest in the bunch (though I don’t see too many MAGA voters voting for him since he’s South Asian, but maybe that’s just me). While Nikki Haley was the smartest in the room. If Trump ultimately drops out because of his indictments (though his oversized ego might keep him in the race), I could see Hayley ultimately becoming the nominee. As for the Democrats, there is still time for someone like CA Gov. Newsom or MI Gov. Whitmer entering the race (though they likely would choose to keep their powder dry for 2028), if Biden (or, if he falls ill between now and November, Harris) is the Democratic nominee. I would vote Democratic. But that’s just my two cents.
