Presidential Election 2024

[Nonlinear FC]

Newsome would wipe the floor with DeSantis. Newsome is legit smart as shit and can tackle topics on the fly incredibly well. If you haven't seen his interview with Hannity, check it out. He doesn't take shit and he can back up all of his points with multiple rejoinders.

DeSantis is scripted bullshit. He gets in trouble whenever he has to actually respond to a reasonable question about the bullshit that just shat out of his mouth.

DeSantis is tanking for a lot of reasons, but what I said above is really important. He's not a viable national candidate anymore. His stance on abortion alone is disqualifying.

[Ryan]

Higher white boots would help I think

We agree. If DeSantis was smarter, didn't go crazy fighting wokeness and didn't try to be both sides of everything, and didn't come out until he was actually ready in 2028, that would have been a interesting race. I mean abortion at 6 weeks? That alone buries him.

But he's stupid so yeah, Newsom wins easily.

This is obviously asking to be picked apart, but just visiting for a couple weeks is enough to convince me that if you can successfully run California, you should probably just automatically become President.

I’m a fan of my governor Newsom. But, I think I’ve learned that a lot of the rest of America seems to hate California, so I’m not sure he’s any slam dunk.

I would also suggest a more awkward stance, regardless of footwear.

It's the 4th largest economy on the planet if you want to go by GDP. (Though, to be fair, Florida would be the 16th if it were a sovereign nation.)

I think ppl "hate" Hollywood, and those ppl are (mostly) knuckle-draggers. It's an incredibly diverse state and not just from ethnicity-lens. I don't know that a lot of Americans know how much of the state is rural and based on agriculture.

It's also has the most registered Republicans of any state.

Well, it does have 10 million more people than the next biggest state.

I'll bet you that Texas has more registered Democrats than Massachusetts.

[Johnnie]

I'll bet you that Texas has more registered Democrats than Massachusetts.

I can't seem to find a breakdown of registered voters by party in Texas, but if this website is to be believed the state has over 17 million registered voters. Massachusetts is listed there with like 1.5 million registered Democrats.

Trump got more votes in California than in Texas.

Biden got more votes in Texas than in New York.

Trump got more votes in New York than in 45 other states.

Plus DC. Trump got only 18600 votes in DC.

So what you are saying is the election was rigged! How could Trump get that many votes in NY and lose to Sleepy Joe?

[mister d]

I listened to Ron DeSantis on Piers Morgan's podcast and I don't see the 'no charisma' criticism. Things I learned about him.

[Johnnie]

Ah, so here's why Cornell West is running for president (with Jill Stein as his campaign manager!)

Dontcha just love grifting?

[degenerasian]

How has he made so much that he owes that much in taxes? I wish I owed that much.

[Nonlinear FC]

Without actually looking it up, dude is pretty heavy on the speaking circuit. And I'm pretty sure he has a number of, I don't know what to call it, but professorship type deals where he is just putting his name on a roster as an academic branding type arrangement.

I'm making that all up, but I bet if I looked it up I'm in the ballpark.

[DaveInSeattle]

Amazing that his campaign has floundered...

And books possibly though I’d bet most of the money is from speaking fees as you guessed. Most jobs, even consulting/visiting professor-type ones are gonna automatically withhold taxes I’d bet.

[L-Jam3]

Slitting throats? Was he trying to say that heads are going to roll and he just fucked up?

I'm trying to think a worse turn of phrase. "We're going to crash jetliners into skyscrapers to trim the federal workforce."

[MaxWebster]

as a federal worker i wish i had the time and/or balls to file suit against him for potential threat on my life.

it would be far from the most-absurd suit filed of late...

Right? How many Federal employees are there? And how many friends and family members do they have? Way to piss off millions of voters, douche.

[Nonlinear FC]

There are close to 2 million federal employees. Let's just rough out that each employee has 5 family members (spouse, kids, siblings, parents).

That's a lot of fucking people.

[Pruitt IV]

As an outsider, it is very enjoyable to watch DeSantis keep sucking up to Trump, even though that asshole keeps insulting the hell out of him.

From Rubio to Cruz, to Christie to Pence to DeSantis... Stockholm Syndrome is everywhere in today's GOP.

[Johnnie]

It's just so pathetic how it took a garbage human like Dump to rile and excite the base so much that Republicunts have to debase themselves in pursuit of power in the event he dies.

That level of low information, small minded voter was always there because of losers like Rush Limbaugh enraging them daily.

All of the GOP politicians were still trying to cling to being respectable on TV despite having the same ideals, but with zero charisma, Jeb, Marco, Willard Mittens, and all of the others failed miserably.

It took Dump being a human YouTube comment to get it through.

That’s what lost the governors race here. Pissed off teachers. And their whole family.

Nicknames. That's what won Trump the election.

25 years of the Clintons being dragged through the mud by a RW media empire had more to do with that, but I get your point.

and all the news outlets falling over themselves reporting on Trump which was free advertising.

[Ryan]

With plenty of wiseguys on the internet telling you that there's really no difference

[A_B]

Maybe there's middle ground, like a cat with diarrhea?

[rass]

No matter who wins we all get a puppy with chronic diarrhea.

[degenerasian]

so the Republican debate tonight is for the first runner up, in the event Trump cannot fulfil his duties?

Curse you for making me imagine the swimsuit competition.

[Johnnie]

I wish I could be in a position to ask a question like "So it's clear all of you cowards won't beat Donald, so who do each of you think is dropping first amongst the group of you on the stage? I'll go first: Nimrata. She thinks she can be VP but can't hold a candle to Keri Lake."

[Steve of phpBB]

so the Republican debate tonight is for the first runner up ...

Funny, I received a promoted Tweet from some MAGA account yesterday saying exactly that.

[DaveInSeattle]

The very first question should be "Who won the 2020 election?".

[Pruitt IV]

So Vivek Whateverthefuckhislastnameis seems to be 2024's Andrew Chang.

I visited his website today and found that these are the top 3 "Truths" on his list of 10:

In a way, it's kind of sweet that a new American can absorb the absolute worst beliefs held by the very people who would like to see people of his colour swinging off of a tree.
