First of all, that’s not what you said. You suggested that the ability of “half-wits” to participate in the election process should be filtered or otherwise limited “or else they’ll vote the wrong guy in”, you used the example of Trump, and by “wrong guy” we’re talking about your subjective evaluation. Second, your flailing doesn’t matter since your backpedal is equally silly, you’re projecting. I will always back the candidate that *I* believe will be best for the country and provide long-term benefit to the people, not necessarily just myself. I don’t need other people to understand why that’s the case - I just need them to vote that guy in. How that guy wins their hearts and votes over is completely immaterial to me, it’s all marketing at the end of the day. On the flip side, I consider people like you to be bad actors - you openly want to limit participation in the process based on what you subjectively find appropriate or adequate, both in terms of people running and people voting, lording over others whom you obviously find inferior, either morally or intellectually. It’s a bad look, but not a surprising one from your side of the aisle.
Hell yeah he can, Biden's done such a bad job that honestly people will just give up on him, unless someone really impressive runs against Trump
Heavily doubt it. But mid terms will be the Key,
Most Trump back Candidates are internally polling horribly. With that Many Repubican organizations have been meeting and working "around/ without " Trump in mind. As they prepare for the Republican Party without him. Also the Republican falure in Redistricting ( some state maps so bad that Republican state Courts Struck them down as Racist) . and Now the View that from Moderate Republicans viewing Trumps Weak on Russia is going to make the play downhill.

Trump is favourite to *win* according to the gross majority of polls, let alone get the nomination. I don’t know where you get your info from, but it’s not consistent with polling data. Still far too early to tell, we don’t even know if he’s planning to run, so no point in taking bets just yet. If he does run, it’s going to be a tight race with no holds barred.

Sorry, sometimes I have trouble reading your posts. Thanks for the explanation, “Trump-backed candidates” aren’t doing so hot, with DeSantis leading the charge last I checked. He’s far ahead of any other option besides Trump himself.
Striking a balance is the ideal, albeit difficult to achieve end goal. I say difficult because balance tends to be in constant flux.
In regard to age, a second Trump x Biden election will make the chair of US president look like the chair of the papacy.
Anyway, I just waiting for someone to post: Can Jimmy Carter become President Again?

We’ll know we’re on the right track when an Nixon’s animated disembodied head in a jar gets the nomination, after that space ships and cyclops ladies are just a matter of time.
I really wonder how successful can a President bid be from Prison or at the best an indicted person…
Flipping on each other
Mo Brooks is spinning tales because Trump rescinded his endorsement, this sounds like a bunch of gobbledygook. I sure hope he has some kind of evidence to back this allegation up, otherwise it’s he-said-she-said to the extreme.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. It makes no sense to me - Mo Brooks, a known idiot, was in no position to fulfil such a request even if it were made. A lot of people say a lot of things about Trump - very few can back up their claims with any kind of record. I’d like to see evidence of such conversations taking place, and their context. If it’s true then it’d put Trump in some hot water, but I’m not planning on taking hearsay as gospel. Seems to me that Brooks is acting like an admirer scorned.
People should be more mad that their government tried to run Trump out of office and how they did so. I don't care if Trump is an asshole, a loser, or a piece of shit. When your own government openly conspires to run fake hit pieces against someone in order to ostracize them for civilization, your problems are a lot bigger than Orange Man. Also, your democracy is fake news.
when your own government which you appointed "tries to run you out" (which didn't happen) it usually means you're unfit for office, if even your own lackeys think you're mad.

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.+1
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
