Will RFK Jr be the Libertarian Party Candidate?

Their nominating convention is on May 24.
If he hasn’t secured enough places in state ballots for an Independent run, I’d bet he would try to be the Libertarian candidate which has a better process of getting on ballots. They were on all 50 states in 2016 and 2020.

I don’t know what’s better for Biden.
We will already have Cornel West and Jill Stein out there (not sure how many states ballots they will be on).

Would you tell a little fib to help Biden win.

Are these desperate times?
Is the coming election a desperate effort to save our democracy?
If you said yes, what would you do to help Biden hold the White House and the Democrats win the House and keep the Senate?

Sure, there is donating and volunteering to campaigns.
But, can you think of anything else?
Here’s my idea:
For those of us that have Trumper/Republicans spouses or partners.
My plan is to make a deal with my significant other that we will go to the polls together on Election Day and vote at the same time.
But, and here is the fibbing part, I will actually go vote early by myself before Election Day.
Then, on Election Day, I will make sure that my partner and I are so busy after work with a great dinner or party opportunity that we don’t make it to the polls in time for us to vote.
And I will say to my partner, “well, it’s ok, since our different votes would have just cancelled each other out anyway”.

Now many of you will say I’m a terrible person for lying to my partner.
And I’m ok with that.
As I stated earlier…desperate times.

Rust belt men might decide the election.

Big discussion about the male union members in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania being targeted by the Biden administration.
If Biden wins these 3 states again, there’s really no path for Trump.

The discussion I saw on Morning Show said Bidens camp sees a real opening particularly with over 40 men in these states who are union members to flip from Trump to Biden or, at least, vote 3rd party or stay home. A few % in these states could be very valuable.

Interesting.

Take your guess: does the GA Judge rule for Fani or against?

I think what he did today with dismissing the 6 cases was his gift to Trump.
But I don’t think he will rule that Willis is off of the case.
At least, I’m hoping not. Fingers crossed 🤞

Will NO LABELS finally name a ridiculous Presidential ticket?

If so, who will it be.
Did you know they actually have a website to spread propaganda and ask for money.
https://www.nolabels.org/
If they do actually find two losers to run as a ticket, I can’t imagine it being two people with decent credentials…is Joe Lieberman still alive? 🤪

Potential Biden/Trump debate format.

No Audience.

Both seated at table with only one moderator.

The moderator announces only topics. No questions.
After the topic is announced, the moderator lets them question each other ONLY on this topic. One response and one rebuttal per topic ONLY.

There can be NO interruptions when the other is speaking. (This will be accomplished with microphones only being open for the person who is supposed to be speaking).

Will any of these Trump hating Republicans endorse Biden?

It’s one thing to say Trump is horrible and unfit for office.
It’s one thing for Republicans to say they won’t vote for him but will vote for a third party candidate or leave the Presidential line blank on their ballot.

But it’s a whole other thing to actually cross over and vote for the Democrat and even endorse Biden.
I’m just wondering if any high profile ones might actually do that this time.
Here’s a list of those that I hope are asked before November.
Feel free to comment on some of them or add some others that you think might of.

Jeb Bush
George W Bush
Mitt Romney
Liz Cheney
Adam Kinzinger
John Bolton
John Kelly
Lisa Murkowski Repub/Independent (says she won’t vote for Trump).

Could someone capture a screenshot of that guy last night

Wearing the Trump mugshot tshirt.
I don’t know how to do that.
I think it was late in the SOTU during the immigration talk
