Publicity stunt, or really that stupid?

Fox News star Tucker Carlson flirts with presidential run in Iowa speech (via Yahoo)

Tucker Carlson, the top-rated Fox News host who has built a following pushing conspiracy theories and lighting into the culture wars, on Friday flirted with a presidential run in his speech to a large gathering of Christian conservative voters in Des Moines, Iowa.

Carlson used the event to blast transgender athletes, high energy prices (and wind turbines), make a glancing mention to Jan. 6 (an issue which hasn’t engaged voters on the right), before ultimately pivoting to an attack on corporate America. The speech ultimately focused on the kind of pocketbook issues that have been engaging many voters this year, themes very familiar to his large cable audience.

...

Nope. They want Trump.

This is very like Limbaugh occasionally talking about running for president.

But he really also is that stupid. So who knows?

1. He sees what Тяцмp has done and thinks ...

… he’s savvy enough to take it to the next level without all of Тяцмp‘s negative baggage. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he attempts a run. He already has a huge following and he’s a skilled grifter.

2. Please proceed.

Tucker/Dump primary. A debate? Dump wouldn’t dare.

3. I'm thinking of taking up politics. I'll start by running for president

4. He thinks he's a better liar and fascist.

5. they live in a bubble

they don't seem to be aware of the opinions of people with critical thinking skills

6. no, they don't care

they own the media and most of the law enforcement, Why should they care about "critical thinking" skills? Betsy devos is out there trying to get rid of public education, she don't care and the only viewpoint offered on the teevee machine will be hers.

[Skittles]

7. their utter amazement that so many more people voted for Biden

it's like they were completely unaware of how many people would have voted for a freaking potato if they had ran it against Donald Fucking Trump

8. Carlson is just thinking ahead

Chump won't always be there to stomp on everyone's parade.
