    Bernie's a communist... spell that "NO CHANCE"... RFK makes a lot of sense on the issues.

    True. Trump has never had a political ideology of his own. The 7-time party switcher has always adopted the political ideology of the party he belonged to at the time. When Trump first won the GOP nomination back in 2016, I called him an egotistical opportunist. It’s his huge ego that won’t let Trump admit he lost in 2020. His brain knows it, but his ego is in charge.

    Irrelevant how you view them. Many in the Hillary camp didn't see Bernie as worthy of taking seriously. If they have the polling numbers, they should be treated accordingly.

    My opinion, when the negative personal attacks took over all political ads instead of running ads on ideas and policies. Exactly when that was? I don’t know. You don’t see a positive political ad anymore, all negative personal attacks. I suppose the idea is to get the voter to hate the other guy/candidate more than they hate you. The end results is the voter now will vote against a candidate than vote for any candidate. They vote for the candidate they want to lose the least, not win, but lose the least. The less hated candidate. Which doesn’t suit well when it comes to governing as most Americans will be against whoever wins to begin with.


    Biden has averaged a 57% job disapproval for his presidency. Trump averaged 56%, Obama a much better 51% disapproval, G.W. Bush averaged a low 49% for his two terms, but his disapproval average for his first time was a low 31%, this second term, a high 63%. Bill Clinton disapproval average was 40%, probably the last president to have an overall job approval that low. So perhaps that’s your answer, dollars became more important than ideas around 2004 or a bit after.

    Ah, the supposed democracy-loving folks cheering on the limitation of speech, even though speech is the cornerstone of democracy.

    China Virus Vax is a blue state thing. We care about it here about as much as the polio vax of yesteryear.

    were you home schooled? everybody had to grow up near someone like trump. how did he grow to what, for him, passes for adulthood?

    as for all of the" accomplishments" i'll bet when he sells a time share he lies about that as well.

    I was not home schooled. I went to a Catholic grammar school, a Catholic high School, West Point for undergrad (Engineering) and Missouri for an MBA.
    I don't care about his personality at all. I'm not interested in hanging out with him on weekends or having him over for dinner. I don't care about his relative "adulthood". None of that has the slightest impact on the security or prosperity of my family. What DOES impact on the security and prosperity of my family are his cheaper gas prices, less inflation, no new wars, fewer fentanyl deaths, secure border, no new wars, not arming the Taliban, and such.

    No Labels has a lot of money and is working for ballot access. If they can't achieve that then they won't run a ticket. I disagree with you on the quality of third party candidates. I haven't seen any that were worth a dime, past Ross Perot. Even at that, I don't know how I'd feel about Ross Perot in today's world. He was way too green to be able to handle complex and troubling international affairs. He would have to have a top notch staff to help him navigate that in today's world.

    I can't vote for someone named Susie Blinkenstein, just because she is on a third party ticket. To save you some research, I just made that name up.

    then you accept that all of those "accomplishments"
    are true?

    trump's border was every bit as "open" as the current border.

    is biden feeding fentanyl to these dead junkies? if so, good.

    trump's surrender to the taliban led to any new arms they may have. who are they fighting with all those weaponsanyway?

    In the 1960's when TV became common in U.S. households.

    LOL, understand. I’ve voted third party a few times. But it was the results of being disgusted with both major party’s candidates. I voted for Johnson in 2016, not because I liked Johnson, it was he was the name on the ballot that wasn’t Trump nor Clinton. Heck, Atilla the Hun would have done just a nicely. It was a case that I wanted my vote officially registered as being against both major party candidates. Your Susie Blinkenstein would have been just as good as Johnson or Atilla if he or her were on the ballot in 2016.


    I think it boils down to a person not caring who won between two dregs from the bottom of the barrel. 2024 could be another one of those years. I hope you’re right about the no label’s party. It would be a nice change to go vote for someone you want to win instead of voting against both major party candidates or voting for the candidate you want to lose the least when you want both to lose. I haven’t voted for a candidate I wanted to win since 2008 when I voted for John McCain. Since then my vote has always be an against vote, never for anyone.

    I think the desire to run for political office is crazy in itself. The only reason people subject themselves to political campaigns is the lust for power an control. That lust is crazy. Regular people won't run for office and the reasons are pretty clear.

    Trump never had two million illegals cross over as Biden has.
    Biden's open borer is CAUSING the fentanyl deaths
    Trump didn't surrender in Afghanistan. Biden was in office for OVER SEVEN MONTHS when we cowardly skedaddled out of Afghanistan. (For some perspective, we were at peace seven months before we victoriously invaded Guadalcanal. The cowardly retreat from Afghanistan was all Biden's operation.) Arming the terrorist Taliban may be ok with you but not with most Americans. Who are they fighting? Well, many of the Americans and allies Biden left behind at least. They're terrorists. They fight any available "infidels".

    Says who? I don't vote and I complain all the time. Voting has never provided what I want from government which is less of it. Voting is only useful for people that want a big or bigger government.
