I get that Biden is not always coherent but more often than not he actually makes sense.In case anyone is interested, fat Chris Christie just dropped out of the race this evening. Not surprising, and even less surprising, just before he attended a press conference to announce he was dropping out, he went live on some radio show to trash Nikki Haley and Ron Desantis, declaring that both are losers and have no chance. The obvious inference would be that he's (again) shamelessly jockeying for a job in the next Trump Admin, but then that fat fuck gave a really pathetic speech railing against Trump and committing himself to ensuring Trump doesn't get another term. In any even, this asshole's political career is now officially over.
Where his supposed 12% support in the upcoming Iowa Caucus goes is anyone's guess. Trump is headed for a clear victory in Iowa, but the hot race is for second place. If Haley can manage to edge out Desantis, who has the endorsement of the Iowa governor and was projected to easily beat her until recently, that's going to drastically change the dynamic in the race as Haley is headed for an easy 2nd place finish in New Hampshire and, if you believe the polls, is within 2-3 points of Trump's lead and closing in.
On the other side of the aisle, Democratic insiders, including senior campaign veterans from the Clinton and Obama camps, have all signaled that--much to their overwhelming dismay--the Democratic Party seems to be stuck with Joe Biden as their candidate and it's just too late to swap horses. Joe "Squints" Biden, who can barely string together a sentence longer than 3-4 words before trailing off or getting confused and frustrated.
The really sad part is that, as far as I can tell, enthusiasm from both sides of the political spectrum here on the ground seems to be sorely lacking, barely perceptible, and outside from the usual nutjob extremists on both ends, a far cry from 2016 or even 2020. Dare I say, the utterly shit choices on both sides seems to be turning people off and folks are just tuning out. That, I think, is the most dangerous aspect of all of this.
Shit, maybe I should run for office then.
The other guy is rambling about magnets, showers, changing a tornado course with a sharpie, raving about Kim Jong Un , and whining about the “stolen” election etc.. so in terms of cognitive abilities I would still rank Biden higher (relatively speaking)
But more importantly: how come you guys find yourselves AGAIN with the two same semi-senile old geezers as candidates?
Frankly sometimes I wonder why we even bothered to help this country become independent (ok, you paid back with interests in 1944, respect)
Maybe King Charles would still be a better ruler, and he’s my least favorite Brit
