Say what you want about Trump, and Lord knows I say plenty of deservedly nasty things about him, but the man sized up Nimarata perfectly.

What's really awful about GOP women like Haley and MTG and Boebert and Noem and and Katie Britt and so many others is that if male Republicans like Trump and Vance and Cotton and Religious Right worthies like Franklin Graham and Robert Jeffress had their way women like them would no longer have a political career, but they would be sitting at home raising their kids and doing little else. They're supporting a party which consists of a great many men (and likely some women) who believe that they should be sitting at home making dinner in the kitchen and caring for their kids, not sitting in Congress or a governor's mansion making policy, and certainly not running for president.

You have to wonder when someone is going to have to tell St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago, "James Comey is not walking through that door, Donald"

Eff Frank Luntz. He was a GOP shill decades ago and still is for the most part. Maybe he can have a few more focus groups on CNN of supposedly "undecided" voters who turn out afterwards to be two-time Trump voters and MAGAts.

He was going after Bouzy earlier today... For not believing that the polls are the end all be all

They're just in it for that sweet sweet grift.

No doubt, but if their male peers have their way they won't be in the grifting game for much longer.

 

[aGDevil2k]

Perfect timing

Perfect timing

It’s not exactly brimming with details, TBH.

It’s not exactly brimming with details, TBH.

You mean like Trump's?

I'll take tweets not written by Trump for 1000 Alex.

Fwiw, I take Bouzy about as seriously. He nor Luntz approach their game with any intention towards macro objectively, from what I’ve seen.

They are both media grifters.

Would agree with that.

Luntz bothers me because he always tries to play that objective guy who never makes a call or puts himself out there. But then he needles those that do

1000x better than "I have plan in place that will be bigly, and I will unveil it shortly after the election".

It wasn't just Haley he sized up perfectly, it was the entire Republican Party.

Despite all of their bluster and tough talk, he recognized that there were very, very few in the Republican Party who would stand up to a bully. And so he bullied them all and watched nearly all of them fall all over themselves to do whatever he said.

If it weren't so consequential to the present and future of our country, it would be an impressive thing to watch from a safe distance away.

While I understand how hard this must be for folks who are closely tied to Palestine, the idea that you would otherwise vote Dem but withhold your vote from Harris over the Israel/Palestine conflict is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Even if you don't like Harris' plan, Trump will give into Israel on all fronts and likely encourage them to go further in fighting the Palestinians. At the least, Harris and a Dem-led WH will put pressure on Israel to keep negotiating and will take an active role in those negotiations with an eye toward a cease-fire and peace agreement. Trump will be completely one-sided in his support for Israel and will actively work against Palestinian interests.

If Palestine is your top issue in this election, this vote should be one of the easiest you'll ever make.

I lived in Europe for 7 years and all my friends there and in England/Scotland are either laughing hysterically at us or are dumbfounded and rather concerned for us over here in the States.

ETA - of course I’ve been laughing at my Brit friends over Boris and Brexit. And I’ve given grief to my Italian friends for electing a female trump. But I have to hand to my Dutch, French, German and Swiss friends….

Something about attacking the spice shop really rubs me the wrong way. No pun intended.
