Are you in "the 16%"?

It wouldn’t have the ring to it that a 3rd headed up by Ross Perot or  George Wallace or John Anderson might have but you could maybe try to start up the “This One Guy I Ran Into” Party.

If you have a way to watch ABC Sunday Show, it`s interesting.  Chris Christie got agreement from the liberals that Democrats only support Biden because they feel he is the only one that can beat Trump.  If Trump doesn`t run, they will dump Biden.  Politics aside, Biden just isn`t a likeable person to be honest about it and what Chris said was profound .."Biden did not win, Trump lost"  that is a BIG difference there, let that sink in.   (I`m not going down the rabbit hole of rigged 2020 election... because those same people will complain that "the 2024 election was rigged!"  and there`s a pattern developing) .

I like the electoral college even if Trump is ahead in the popular poll and Minneapolis dictates the direction of the ENTIRE state of Minnesota, other states politically ran similarly.    I think the only reason Biden is pretending to want to run for re election is to stay out of Lameduckdom as long as possible.  In a way if Trump doesn`t want to run (deep down) he is helping the real Republican nominee in keeping Biden upfront and any possible electable Dem candidate out of the ring.

Well yea, not in the spineless crew that you run with.

[BA Deere]

Just to add.  Trump was on with Hugh Hewitt and Hugh asked him "will you support the Republican nominee if it isn`t you?"  Trump said "maybe"  .  The Republican debates are going to require a pledge to support eventual nominee to participate, which lead to speculation that Trump doesn`t really want to debate?

You like the electoral college.

What could possibly change the EC electoral college in the R favor?

Running Desansctimonious and you could easily lose states that weren’t that close last time.

Would you seriously bet more than a nickel that he could hold Iowa?

[BA Deere]

I will deliver Iowa for DeSantis!  (like I have that power 😀 )  yes, Iowa will support DeSantis.    Lies were told about the covid shot, masks and shutdowns, I don`t see how DeSantis` policies would be a negative unless you think people are dumb enough to keep putting quarters in a vending machine that is out of order..  (some people are that dumb, but Democrats already have their votes locked up)

I would imagine a state that is mostly white and righteous would vote for David Duke against any democrat candidate so you do have the power.  

[rickgthf]

... trump running as a third party spoiler candidate.

  Oh, by the way, the Koch bros say they're going to put a lot of money behind defeating trump in the primaries.  The fastest way to pick up some real campaign money is to run against trump.

If it was duke against biden what would be the difference?  KKK joe is the closest person we have to the kkk in politics today.
