  2. 2 factors that I think might hurt Trump: 1. An extra few hundred thousand of his voters died in the last 2 years. Unlikely to be the sole/defining difference in the outcome but could make some difference in swing states (AZ/GA). 2. He can’t tweet this time. His ability to mass communicate and instantly respond to headlines is neutered. I think this actually could be something that makes a huge difference.
  3. There’s nothing concrete that I’ve seen, which is not surprising since no potential Trumpy GOP candidate will say shit unless/until it’s certain that Trump isn’t going to be the nominee. If/when Trump is for sure out, there will be a mad dash of fuckers (probably more than a dozen candidates who actually think they can win) rushing in to take his crown, and it would not surprise me at all if Carlson was in that mix. For now I think Haley is uniquely positioned to come out on top of that scrum but who knows.
  4. I wonder how the country would react in this scenario. The MAGA/Q fuckers rioted with zero credible evidence of election fraud. What will the general public (or at least those who didn’t vote for the GOP candidate) do if it’s blatantly obvious that state legislatures overturned the results of a fair election? Will people actually just stand by and let that happen? Will our international allies?
  5. I do wonder who could “out-Trump” Trump. Like who could make Trumpers think twice in a head to head choice between them and Trump? Toby Keith? If Chris Kyle were still alive he would be a good candidate. I’m not up to speed on NASCAR.
  6. I think the idea is that in reviewing the last 4 elections, the number of “Trump only” voters must be greater than the number of “Biden nose-holders”. Otherwise Romney and McCain would have fared better. I am not sure that is the case but sadly I do think Trump is the GOP’s best hope of winning in 2024. That said, I do think a cleaner candidate like Baker or Hogan (or even Haley) would have a good chance against Biden.
  7. That’s why I included the “who has been widely assumed to run ” caveat. There are lots of Democrats I think could beat Trump. But there are basically only 3 Democrats consistently expected to be the nominee: Biden, Harris, and Buttigieg. And I think of those 3 only Biden has a chance against Trump.
  8. I think it should be 70 but I agree, it’s crazy how the field is dominated by old geezers. The risk a candidate that old injects into the presidency (between potential for dementia/incapacity or death) is highly under considered.
  9. I pulled those names from a google search of current odds. I agree Pompeo plans to run but for now the oddsmakers don’t seem to think very much of his chances.
  10. I do not agree. She would likely make him look really bad in debates but she would almost certainly lose a portion of the electorate who pushed Biden over the top. Sadly, I think Biden is the only democratic candidate who has been widely assumed to run who has a chance to beat Trump. I do think someone like Beshear or Cooper could beat Trump but I think they would have a very difficult time getting the nomination. If Mark Cuban ran as a Democrat I think he would destroy Trump. Sherrod Brown would have a good shot at beating Trump too.
  11. This doesn’t seem like a very good justification for deleting a thread. Bumping it with those kinds of comments seems really counterproductive.
  12. I don’t view her as a realistic candidate, but oddsmakers list her in the group right below Biden/Harris.
  13. Oddsmakers have it as anything but a forgone conclusion. Trump lost the last election. And, Trump is old, so he could die before 2024.
  14. Baker is the GOP Governor of Massachusetts. Hogan is the GOP Gov of Maryland. Sununu is the GOP Governor of NH. Cooper is the Dem governor of NC. Beshear is the Dem governor of Kentucky.
  15. I haven’t seen any threads to discuss 2024 and given how consequential it projects to be I don’t think it’s too early. Trump is the current odds-on favorite. Biden is the favorite to get the Dem nom (duh) followed by Kamala (duh). Other GOP candidates: DeSantis, Haley, Pence, Stefanik Other Dem candidates: Buttigieg, Michelle Obama None of those candidates are worth a fuck to me. I am hoping one of these 5 candidates somehow miraculously enters the mix: Charlie Baker, Andy Beshear, Larry Hogan, Roy Cooper, Chris Sununu. Not that I’m anywhere near perfectly aligned with any of those guys ideologically, but I think one of those guys might be the right person for this moment, and they all have the right credentials. Other current non-candidates I think would be interesting are Gina Raimondo and Mark Cuban. 2 dark horse GOP players I would be happy to see challenge Trump are Ben Sasse and Dan Crenshaw. Of the candidates likely to actually run, I am hoping to see Haley get the GOP nomination to run against Biden. Neither of those is a very good candidate but in that scenario I think the odds of civil war drop dramatically. Another Biden vs Trump election is an utter catastrophe in the making imho. Any thoughts on outside the box candidates you’d like to see? Predictions on who will win?
  16. Errbody getting omicron. Err. Single. Body. Just gotta hope it stays relatively weak and that a variant doesn’t disrupt the trend toward this being endemic but not an unmanageable burden on the healthcare system and peoples day-to-day lives. This shit is crazy.
  17. Going to be some very close races.
  18. Fast food thoughts: Culver’s is extremely underrated in many ways. Burgers are excellent, ice cream is 2nd to none. Fries are great. In N Out is absolute trash. Wendy’s is trash; they used to have a good chicken sandwich. Burger King and McDonald's taste great and are super cheap but each patty apparently contains a strain of cholera. DQ and Sonic burgers are tolerable if you’re going there for the desserts/drinks. The Dude sandwich is a once-a-year cravable treat. Chick Fil A is a case study in business operations and produces a great product. Canes is delicious but with such a narrow menu they are a once a year stop. Popeyes can be good but is too inconsistent and the bad locations carry a lot of risk. Golden Chick is trash except their tea. Taco Cabana and Taco Bell are trash. I think Mexican fast food has yet to be perfected. Lil’ Doddy is great if you want to spend $60 for family hamburger night. P Terrys is hard to say. Sometimes I crave their food but I wouldn’t rate them nearly as good as Culver’s or Whataburger. Whataburger is the best fast food hamburgers around and it’s not that close; however, there’s a big variance in quality/consistency from one location to the next.
  19. The Terrance Cooks who couldn’t get playing time in a LB unit that resembled an aborted fetus?
  20. Winning and titles might be a better gauge of status, but I think portal activity would be a better signal for the programs trajectory. If Bama suddenly lost a bunch of their best players to the portal without gaining any from outside, I’d say that would be a pretty strong indictment of the programs direction.
  21. In this new era, is there any better barometer for a program’s status/trajectory than comparing portals out vs portals in? This is encouraging when looking at Texas thus far. We haven’t lost anybody worth jack shit to the portal, while we’ve secured at least 2 very highly thought of players.
