PRESIDENT?

I try to think back at that time. We all knew he was a womanizer with absolutely NO political background or expertise at all. How did he get to be President?

I now think it was a confluence of many political realities, one of which meant that these republicans simply had no business being in charge of things. Being bad was just one thing. Being totally irresponsible, totally corrupt, totally incompetent, amoral freaks was another. I simply could not imagine something like that. Even Nixon wasn't this bad, as bad as he was.

Just evil.

He is in the dumps, has nowhere to go but up, can when he chooses to make credible patriotic-sounding rhetoric, and would stand a chance of taking New Jersey which would be a hammer blow to Democrats.

I hope he gets on the debate stage and dismantles Desantis.

Of course he’s not going to win, but he can do some damage to some candidates that Democrats can’t do.

I love that he's tearing down the GOP from within.

But it's still the GOP. Don't trust him.
