  1. I respect your views and I would love to hear your suggestions on how we can field a winning campaign in 2028.
  2. I do have an update coming soon concerning the Sacred Surly Horns Signed Football. This will be a good one.
  3. Discuss . Her Instagram page is a level of crazy I've never seen. It's actually kind of epic.
  4. Please don't mention Jimbo. Now I haz sads.
  5. Let's hope that doesn't come to pass!
  6. I hear you and it's right to be alarmed at things that are happening. But I believe in what Winston Churchill said: "You can always count on Americans to do the right thing, after they've tried everything else."
  7. I appreciate your views and I understand why you feel that way, to some degree. In my long life, I have learned that things are never as good or as bad as you think they are. Democrats need a rebirth with new leadership but we can win in 2028.
  8. I respectfully disagree. The right candidate, of any race, male or female, with the right message and timing can win. Heck, Harris almost won, and she was absolutely the wrong candidate. However, I think Trump's acolytes will be very vulnerable in 2028, though we cannot hope to win unless we have a huge change in leadership.
  9. She had her role due to identity politics and served as a fairly unmemorable VP. Thanks to Biden's political suicide attempt to run in 2020, we ended up with Harris representing more of the same, when the voters were asking for change. Due to Biden's bungling, a proper vetting at a convention for the best candidate wasn't possible. Like I said, it was shit show, perhaps the worst run campaign in my lengthy lifetime. Obama was the right person at the right time. She was not.
  10. And, like clockwork, the usual suspects post again, and offer no solutions. Identity politics prohibited us from having the very best candidate in 2024. Also, despite what @wildcat09 would suggest, there is a large group of centrist voters who can be swayed either way. They were key in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 elections. They will be key in 2028. Like I said, it's not that hard.
  11. Ways Democrats can win back the independents and win in 2028: Find the next Bill Clinton. A Southern, conservative Democratic statesman who isn't afraid of distancing himself from the fringe, identity-politic morons* who keep setting us up to fail by handing easy talking points to the Republicans. Find the next Ann Richards. An outspoken, Southern** conservative, gun-totin' woman who Americans can love with a big social heart and an even bigger semi-automatic rifle. Make Hispanic Americans the priority. Hispanics are feeling taken for granted and have been migrating to the Republicans. Hispanics represent approx. 25% of the populace. Hola! Be better at embracing new media. Republicans ran circles around Democrats in 2024 in understanding how new media feels more trustworthy to Americans today than traditional platforms. It's not that hard and the margin wasn't that great. Biden/Harris ran a shit-show of a campaign and lost the independents, but they should be hoppin' mad by 2027 and ready to be won over. *You can fight for dramatic social change in the United States or you can win an election. You can't do both. ** Candidate could also be from Pennsylvania, or Ohio, which is kinda like the South. Not Utah. That place is weird.
  12. Yes. Before I was allowed to even enter the tent, I was told no pics and no autographs. The minute I took this pic, his security came and accosted me, and threw me out of the tailgate.
  13. Let's catch up with Johntay. After our little Dec-Jan bump in the road, @_jaythegreat_ is back to normal posting. He recently took time out from his grinding videos (which is the best thing he can be posting) to share plenty of plugs for Longhorns getting drafted. He even added a new fashion post, so his life is back to as normal as it can be. However, his recent exploits have had a cost: Johntay has lost around three thousand followers. I am paying close attention to see if he announces a landing spot. I wonder if some desperate D1 school will take a chance on him.
