(53,771 posts)It won't work. He's determined though. Gotta give him that. But he's forgetting they tried to hang him, and they won't forget.

(11,735 posts)He is operating under the delusion that he has a chance at becoming the Republican Nominee and President in 2024.

(47,415 posts)I guess once you get bitten by the "President bug", you are infected for life.
Caliman73
(11,735 posts)His "holier than thou" presentation is bullshit. He was a "shock jock" on radio before he became Governor of Indiana and the VP pick. He was also almost dead broke.
He took the gig with Trump and got some riches off of it. He likely needs more.
I agree that some people are drawn to the office and many will run more than once. President Biden ran several times. The difference, and I say this generally between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats will usually run out of a sense of service to Country. Republicans seem to want to run to get the power and riches that may come with the office.
PatSeg
(47,415 posts)For republicans, political office is an opportunity to exploit and enrich oneself. In recent years, republican presidential primaries have been hysterical as every clown and snake oil salesman hops onboard the grifter train.
They all have something to sell (Gingrich and Huckabee - books and tapes) and what better way to get free publicity. I'm not sure what Herman Cain was selling, but like so many, he was not a serious candidate. And Ben Carson? That was just weird. He did end up as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, but I don't think that was his initial objective.
I guess politics truly does make strange bedfellows and if you are a republican, stranger still.

Samaritans Purse; is that anything like a "prison wallet"? 🤔

(19,199 posts)a that say "Trump for president 2024" and are stamping all the money. I crossed it out with a black Sharpie!
Trump is going to end up with all of that stamped money though, so they're not only wasting their money, they're wasting their time too.

Zeitghost

DFW
(54,362 posts)It sounded like he was on the Polish side of the border, looking across.
I'll bet any suggestion that he drive a few dozen KM eastwards to get a real idea of what was going on would have been met with 167 versions of "no, thanks."

(86,569 posts)I used to buy weird greeting cards for their graphics or wit. I had one which had a hand-tooned image of a lot of flies. Inside it read, 10,000 Flies can't be wrong, eat shit.
I think of that every time I see or hear of the hairfly!

I think "eat shit" everytime a qpuke surfaces in the news.

AngryOldDem
(14,061 posts)Hes dead to Trump, which means hes dead to the GOP.
This is nothing more than shameless, cynical promotion for Christian values and $$$$$$$.
How much is he getting from Franklin Graham to do this, I wonder? And why dont the authorities tell him to GTFO?

He pretended for 4 years to be VP to a cretin who pretended to be President for 4 years...great qualifications there, Pencie!
AngryOldDem
(14,061 posts)For a fucking photo op. I hope it was made clear to both him and Mother that are on their own here.
This is really making my blood boil. Talking to that asshole is the last thing the Ukranians need to be doing.
Deep State Witch
(10,424 posts)Gag. Franklin Graham's charity. Because those Ukrainians need some good old Republican Jeebus as well as food and shelter. Never mind that the Ukrainians have been Christians since 988.
