If Trump bowed out, I'd vote for whoever he endorsed, and if no Trump endorsement, I'd probably vote for DeSantis.

If Trump was not running, I would hope DeSantis would. I'd also do a deep dive learning about Ramaswamy. Haley lost me with her Disney invitation. She is obviously out of touch with what is actually happening in this country. She doesn't get it. It's a valid question and at this point I probably resemble the guy that pushes all his chips on 16 red at the roulette wheel where Trump is concerned.

I would like to tell you I have no prejudice against Indians (dot, not woo woo), period, but I can't really say that anymore, those ****s keep calling my phone every day trying to scam me from Calcutta or Delhi, or wherever the **** they are. Example: It's not yet 4pm, and a check of the caller ID shows 17 Indian scam calls. Another 2 or 3 on my cell phone. **** them. I won't be shamed for hating Indians. I absolutely detest Indians (and Pakis, some of the scammers are Paki) now, generally, although I have personally met some here who were likeable and seemed like the hard working immigrant folks we want here. Still, those scammers soured me on Indians in general. We shouldn't be mass importing them here. |

Bill,
I've been meaning to speak to you about your vehicle's warranty. |

I think you and I at this point in time are pretty similar politically, but it's a valid point that VB has always been politer and more civilized than the pre-woke PR&C at the bad place. We've always had a more laid back, convivial, collegiate (although sophomoric) atmosphere here, and it's objectively better than the Beyond Thunderdome hate fest that was the PR&C of old.
I'd say we should aspire to continue the more pleasant atmosphere here, so we can attract new members. and stop running off older members. Pretty sure that's how we lost Kermie and Kingpin, among others. Just my $ .02's. |

Back to Trump. If he’s the name on the ticket, I’ll hold my nose and vote. The man gave Fauchi a platform, didn’t drain the swamp and #1-if he is elected NO ONE will work in his administration. So, truthfully, would love to see a hard core conservative woman/ethnic ticket. It would drive the racists out of the party and cause women/liberals to brain hemorrhage. |

The only way that would happen is if Trump was stricken with some sort of health problem, a stroke, cancer, something like that that would physically prevent him from carrying out the duties of the president. Having said that, we've got a dementia ridden retard who isn't capable of carrying out the duties of president already, so that wouldn't be a deal breaker, but would be for Trump because I don't see Trump desiring to be a figure head while others behind the scenes actually make the decisions. Having said that, I do like what I hear from the Indian dude you mentioned. He certainly hits all the right notes, and just to put @cptlo306 at ease, if Trump endorsed the Indian dude, I'd vote for him. My disdain for Nikki Haley has more to do with her political stances and opportunism post working for Trump. The fact that she's Indian just makes it easier for me to scapegoat her. I hold equal disdain for Eyepatch McCain, and other WEF "Young Global Leaders." The Indian dude Jeff mentioned has come out and said he was never affiliated with the WEF, says they're trying to intimate that he's part of their cabal when he really isn't. I would like to know more about that, because I don't want a sleeper agent running the country. I'd need to be SURE he wasn't affiliated with them before voting for him, even with Trump's endorsement. |

Sadly, I would agree with that. Say he strokes out and isn't physically capable. I don't see him endorsing DeSantis, even though DeSantis is the obvious choice. At least, I don't see him endorsing DeSantis without a bunch of groveling and pleading from DeSantis for that endorsement. And a Trump endorsement isn't as strong as it could be because he endorsed a bunch of RINO losers like Texas' own Big John Cornyn, simply because he figured they would win anyway and he wanted to earn some political capital from them. I would hope an endorsement for president would be only based on who he thought was best to lead the country, though.

Agree he should have booted Fauci, Birx, and the whole bunch, but I think he figured, "I delegated that shit to Pence," and didn't realize Pence wasn't the "you're fired" killer that Trump himself is. Keep in mind that what we know now, we didn't know then, or at least, we didn't know with as much certainty. Who would really have thought, before the Wu flu hysteria, that our medical establishment was actually malevolent and not to be trusted? I certainly didn't. |

Being convicted wouldn't bar him from holding office. Technically, he could be POTUS while in jail.
