    Burgum - has a lot of money, not well known (which is good)

    Rubio - he's young and established so why taint himself with Trump when he could make a run at 2028?  Surely he can't be a pick to help with Florida, and he won't seriously help win over moderates with the batshittery that's happening around Trump. Trump couldn't count on him to do what Pence wouldn't do. He's more photogenic than Trump as well.

    Vance - yeah, great choice if you want to motivate a lot of people to vote against Trump, because he fully embraces the batshittery and wants to send women back to the 1860s.  With that said, because he fully embraces the batshittery around Trump, Trump would probably like him a lot.  He'd do what Pence wouldn't.

    Scott - South Carolina? Not a swing state, having a Black guy on the ticket still won't tone down the batshittery, especially when Scott wants a national abortion ban. He'd probably do what Pence wouldn't do.

    Burgum is the logical choice for Trump.  Not enough people know him, and he's not pushing a national abortion ban, and he's got money.

     

    I disagree with you on Scott for 1 reason—he’s Black.

    I think Scott could pull Black and Latino men over. We’d be hoping like hell Black women save us (again).

    What I don't get is why anyone really gives a shit?  I mean, I get protesting against the Vietnam War in the U.S.  You or someone you know might get drafted and die in a foolish, lost war.  I get protesting in support of BLM in the U.S.  You or someone you know might get pulled over and murdered by the police.  I don't get protesting for/against Israel or Palestine in the U.S.  None of these people are affected by what's going on half a globe away.

    I get some may view acts by one side or the other as evil, and that it may even be correct.  But even so, what the fuck is all this going to accomplish?  How is this going to impact anything going on in Gaza?  If all these universities divest from Israel tomorrow, is Israel even going to notice?  No.  The holocaust gives Israel an apocalyptic world view and they do not fuck around when it comes to their security.  There is no way they would allow themselves to be in a position where they could be brought to their knees by US universities redirecting endowment investments.

    It just seems like everyone, from students to University Presidents to Governors to police would have a lot more proximal problems to be concerned about that they might actually have a chance to positively affect.  Which makes me think this isn't about Israel or Gaza at all, rather about the theatrics of civil unrest on college campuses in an election year. 

    Which is why I’ve said this has all been orchestrated.

    Shits spreading like Pokemon. Now at UW-Madison.

    So what do the protestors do when the semester ends? Blockade their local Starbucks?

    The one at Wisconsin started days ago. The protestors go back to Russia, their troll accounts on truth social and twitter, and back to the underground where they came from.
