President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Timmy got some giddyup.

 

Really hope he runs to take Portman's Senate spot.

 

Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to remind us that she is dumber than a box of rocks.

If he could pull it off, I’d put Brown and Ryan up against any other state’s two senators in terms of where I want the party to be.

 

The sad truth, however, is there is almost no chance of this. Ohio is becoming a very red state. Brown, who is awesome, didn't exactly run away with his last election, despite being against Jim Renacci, who barely even campaigned.

 

Agreed, but the fact Brown won at all shows just how incredible a politician he really is.

I was never happier pulling the lever for a candidate than when I did for Sherrod Brown.

 

Ugh. Go back to your lousy restaurant. DC is no place for you.

 

Seeing how bad Greene and Boebert and Hawley are at all this almost makes one miss Trump’s expert level trolling.

Okay, not really.

But they’re never gonna re-create that guy’s ability to be the perfect shitheel. He was a genius at being exasperating in a way nobody else can replicate.

 

When Doug Jones was first running for Senate and still wasn’t a sure bet to make it out of the primary, Tim Ryan came down and spoke at an event for him in Birmingham with maybe 2-3 dozen people there. I was impressed then with his ability to connect with ordinary folks that you don’t see enough of out of Democrats anymore. If he goes for the Senate, I’ll have one of my monthly ActBlue contributions waiting for him.

 

Trump had a 30 year head start in crafting his "a-hole persona." By the time he ran, people were used to it and didn't take it seriously. He generally went after other celebrities so nobody really cared - it was pro wrestling. These GOPers trying to fill his tweets? They just come off as clowns and their trolling is defining them. Maybe it plays to the base, but it's like all the Rush Limbaugh wannabees - they just don't have the goods to back it up.

 

Most people don’t have a Fred Trump or a Roy Cohn to beat/mold them into expert level sociopathy, either.

Donald is a special kind of ratface.

 

I support this bipartisan effort. DST4Life.
