This is so exciting! If I could be a fly on the wall in Trump-ville right now. I wonder what they’re thinking?



Why would not think they were very aware this was a possibility? Because it is a shock to you, you assume it would be a shock to them?

Do you really think they read the news to find the news? Or do you think there are layers and levels that you are not privy to?


Because Trump is an idiot but his movement of grifters is not. If Trump was smart he’d have picked a candidate of color. Instead he went with a mediocre Peter Thiel VC plant who wants to make America like the Handmaid’s tale.

I think they were banking on Biden staying in and being stubborn. Do you really think Biden would leave his son’s incarceration up to chance? That he voluntarily left the run for POTUS is huge and while they say they’re prepared I think Trumpville is scared.

If the democrats run an open primary and let the merits of the candidates win they’ll emerge with a slam dunk.


> If Trump was smart he’d have picked a candidate of color.

Sounds racist. How about he pick the person best suited for the role?


Because it’s about winning and politics is as much about appealing to the most people as it is merits. If you think it’s only merits that anyone wins on then tell me in what universe Trump wins on merits?

People can be diverse and the best for the job too ;-)
