Congrats to the country, I guess.
Seemingly so.Quote:

Hopefully 2024 will be managed better after considerations.
Yep...gridlock is perfect for the next two years. It would have been great for the republicans to take both chambers, but honestly, I think this is better in the long run. Trump won't look electable, and Desantis or another sane Republican will be the candidate and win in '24. Trump is the only one that could possibly lose to Biden. It's extremely clear to anyone paying any attention that moderates will hold their nose and vote for a far left candidate over a Trumper. Pubs need to move away from him.Quote:

He is officially unable to expand his base and you can be sure he'll do more damage to himself by 2024. If his ego allows him to announce he's running in '24, it will be interesting to see polling on his chances. I feel really confident that DeSantis could dust him in the Primaries....... I hope Trump continues to attack him.
You know what would rule?Quote:

I was, and am, all in on his policies, but he needs to leave the stage. He won't unless he's forced.
Meanwhile, *some* on this board will spend the entire day going through this thread looking for "gotcha" posts from me about Trump. I don't care.
Knock yourselves out.
Absolutely NO chance he'll vote the wrong way. Leadership will tell him its not neccesary to read anything.He will be the ultimate rubber stamp, unless Biden decides to pivot some. (I intentionally posted this for humor purposes).Quote:

Do you think last night's underwhelming performance by the GOP emboldens Biden to run again in 2024?
I don't know who else the Dems have that could actually win a general election. As Republicans need to look in the mirror today regarding Trump, Dems need to do that as well with their leadership. Moderates/Independents still decide elections and I don't see anyone on the Dem side in leadership that fits the profile and is electable for the presidency right now.Quote:

Surely you jest.Quote:
