Also, word on the street is that "late in the year" is after the election.

Michelle Obama is wildly unpopular?



goddamn you’re dumb

Easily, repeatedly, and inarguably the "most respected" woman in the world, survey after survey, time and time again.

She has already talked to Tay Tray about being her running mate.

The rubes are gonna lose their fuckin minds. The White House will be repainted in rainbow stripes and all press conference will include a vegetarian recipe reading. Fox will make trillions off rube snowflake grievance appeasement. Putin will withdraw from Ukraine because his VP trumpty will advise not to mess with the girls when there is blood coming out of their eyes, or blood coming out of their wherever.

It's going to be a crazy 8 year run with the economy and stock market booming.

I'm glad you have a sense of humor.

Ok. You've been adamant that Biden would not be the nominee - is that changing to inauguree?

For my part, I'm not saying what you're saying can't happen. I am, though, saying that "you don't know who you're even voting for" would be of a piece with much of the MAGA right's scare-messaging.

So, forgive my skepticism.

Sort of like how Donald Trump is one of the most "admired" if not "respected" men in the world.
Yet, I KNOW (not think) there are A LOT people in this country who hate (hate is a strong word) Michelle Obama. Amazing how all that works.

[Cassandra]

Trump is both loved and hated very extremely. But neither of that applies to me because I'm not voting for him, as I've said before. My complaint is that the dems have no plan to beat him with a better candidate.

No. I was just poking fun at Lobster's "late in the year." That's too late.

Obviously, I don't know anything -- and would never pretend to have inside information that I don't. I just don't think the "the most important election eVar!" theme meshes well with, "so...let's run the old man again."

Replacing him can't happen unless he goes "voluntarily" (even if under duress, like LBJ) and really can't happen after the convention (although the Torricelli precedent still, technically, applies).

You know my opinion. I think the Dems are in a box of their own making, and there isn't (absent, ah, actuarial intervention) much that can be done.

The Rs perceive their plight to be the same, but I do not agree.

No. Not like that at all. Michelle is always the top response in various global polls about respected women. Trump is never the top response in similar polls. He falls far behind Michelle's husband, ol' wotsisname, in those polls.

Also, yes, a LOT of people hate Michelle. A LOT of people hate her husband. A LOT of people hated Clinton and Reagan...etc. As long as a majority of people in states with 270 EVs DON'T hate her, though, she's electable. She's a risk, obviously, since she's never run for anything before, but her political instincts are FAR superior to Hillary Clinton's or Nikki Haley's.

What time is it boys and girls? It's time for:

Kevin's Tour of Revenge!

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy slams fellow GOP members Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) on Capitol Hill.

You know why he's "slamming" those two?



Cuz they're assholes. Natch.

Because they're vulnerable "assholes"?

As well as her self preservation instincts, as indicated by her refusal to run for office.

I respectfully disagree with all that.
Yes, I 100% agree she's the "top response" in "various global polls but.... Trump IS near the top in many similar polls.
8 billion people in the world. Top 25, top 250, heck - top 2,500, top 25,000 is "near the top".
I also agree 100% Donald Trump falls behind Barack Obama in many polls but as I just said, Trump sure as the shit I took this morning is "near the top" in many polls. Which makes me want to puke.
Besides all that, isn't how they poll in the USA in regards to registered voters more important in determining our next President than how they poll in regards to how they are "respected" in Maldives, Tonga, Gambia, etc., etc., etc.?

Is she electable? Of course she is. Donald fricking Trump is electable.
I agree she's a risk.
In regards to her "political instincts", I am not smart enough to know for sure but I will take your word for it. I figure she knows how to play the game and is a pretty good bull-shiter so she has that going for her.

[DCHawk1]

Yes.

And I think she makes sense in this context, but she may be smart enough to know that neither this context nor any other makes sense to her.

I've never made a secret of the fact that I genuinely like her. Maybe that's due in part to the good sense you mention.

As well as her self preservation instincts, as indicated by her refusal to run for office.

Now now you two, don’t act like teenagers. We don’t need a certain representative showing up.

Pretty damned funny

It's the uncertain representatives that worry me most.
