President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

C'mon man ... really? I hope this was a joke, because "they all look alike" is an awful template to be working off of.

 

Wishful thinking at the Heritage Foundation.

But also goes to my point that what's being institutionalized in and on the American Right is Trumpism.

 

Curious if turnout tops 280k - what the 2016 primary had.

‘Our System Needs to Be Broken, and He Is the Man to Do It’

So Johnson’s journey from that VFW last fall to how he says he’s set to vote this week — a four-and-a-half-month turnabout from literally wanting to “pull us back together” to literally wanting to “pull it apart” — offers as instructive an insight as I’ve yet encountered into how on earth we are where we are. Trump could be just a disgraced ex-president facing time in prison. Instead, at least for now, he is a durably dominant political force credibly eyeing a return to the White House. And if Trump wins in New Hampshire on Tuesday (and polls say he probably will), and if he beats Joe Biden come November (and polls say he certainly might), it will be because of Johnson and the many thousands of others like him who looked for ways to quit Trump but ultimately couldn’t, didn’t and haven’t — and not remotely reluctantly but with an explicit sense of vengeance.

“He’s a wrecking ball,” Johnson told me here at the place he chose called the Copper Door.

“Everybody’s going to say, ‘Trump is divisive,’” he said, “and he’s going to split the country in half.” He looked at me. “We got it,” he said.

It’s what the Ted Johnsons want.

 

I want you to be our pollster. You're a lot more optimistic than most.

 

The law is the law is the law, and everyone is accountable. ... Until it's Trump. Then everything is rigged.

The Ted Johnsons are scary. They are Zombie America.

 

I think 30 percent have totally bought in and another 15 percent will go with it as long as they figure it pencils out for their bank balance and 401k.

 

Which, of course, begs the question: What guarantee does anyone have that a Trump coronation would increase their bottom line?

 

No accomplishments?
Gutting Roe v Wade
Gerrymandering
Being in the Or age cult.

Sounds like there is a whole lot the Republicans are doing.
