***Official Political Discussion Thread***

I’m surprised the GOP hasn’t just propped up some insanely attractive white lady as a candidate. All she’d have to do is be relatively smart and have good social skills and not be completely psycho. I feel like she could get all the “swing” votes and all of the regular base republican votes.

well, the Republicans don't have anyone to start with. Desantis' name only came up only because he is trump lite. other than that, there is no one worth noting for the republican party and the only true republican they had was cast out by them as well. the GOP just went up in flames when they chose to stick with the criminal orange idiot.

It's especially ironic that she was called a RINO by numerous Republicans who all had lower percentages of voting Yes with Trump's positions.
In fact she had one of the highest percentages of any House Republican. So what disqualified her as RINO scum was solely because she didn't turn into a complete cultist worshipping every word and action Trump takes as the next coming of christ.

I predict Desantis won't participate in any debates

Trump revels in those primary debates, he and his biggest cultists would certainly roast DeSantis relentlessly as being weak and scared.
Trump turns the debate into an absolute clownshow, and as the biggest clown in the room he of course 'wins' in the eyes of his cult.

Let’s be honest, if it wasn’t for all the headlines DeSantis got during Covid, he wouldn’t be a name that’s being thrown out there. 2020 made him known.

I strongly disagree. Sure he became more known during Covid but he did do a lockdown, which the Republican base certainly wasn't pleased with. But since then in terms of far-right policy and culture wars, he's been like a wet dream for Republicans.
Just win after win after win. The problem becomes when you hear the guy speak and interact in public, outside of his comfort zone.

For all of Trump's failures, corruption and godawful character, there's no denying that he has stage presence and knows how to entertain a crowd, whether it's pleasing his cultists or those who can't look away from the car crash

You mean like Tudor Dixon in Michigan?

How’d that work for them?

You should watch the piece John Oliver did on him. 90% or his policies are stuck it court and probably won’t go through. The optics are great. The actual results are barely real.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I think he saw the reactions to all his anti COVID policies and ran with it when it comes to everything he does.

And yeah, he has no confidence and is clearly scared. I don’t see him winning the nod but who knows.

Wild that white men have held a 21 year old college basketball player (Angel Reese) to a higher standard as far as having “class” than these typical classless Republican politicians.

They can’t make it anymore obvious.

Was confused and then saw why.

Conservatives already cancelled Nike during the Colin Kaepernik ad campaign. If they cry about cancelling Nike again

She is another Sinema

She got criticized by her party and she flipped to get back at them. Plus she is doing this in hopes the GOP doesn't screw her over with the new gerrymandered maps
