killiepiemuncher Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I'm expecting the Republican party to tone down the ridiculousness a notch and their next candidate post-Trump to be Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho III 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 31 minutes ago, Granny Danger said: Trump is already flagging up the ‘scandal’ of voter fraud with the help of his friends from Fox News. This will be his excuse for refusing to accept the result of the election. There will be no conventional handover. The same Trump that tried to vote illegally in Florida? https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/president-trump-tried-to-register-to-vote-in-florida-using-an-out-of-state-address/2020/06/03/687d0014-a4f2-11ea-b473-04905b1af82b_story.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 As mentioned, Fox ramping up the rhetoric and massively exaggerating an issue that barely exists. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/voter-fraud-exists-even-though-many-in-the-media-claim-it-doesnt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s hoping Biden bothers his arse to actually campaign there, then. I thought you didn't want Trump to win 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he is mentally 100% - He'll surely only be a one term President if he were to win. Kamala Harris odds on favourite to be his running mate. She could easily be the first woman president at this rate. Always think its interesting that being VP is often thought of as being on a pathway to being the next president. Seems incredibly rare; only Bush Senior in living memory has been elected POTUS after being VP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could easily be the first woman president at this rate. Surely Biden has the sense to pick Harris as his running mate to further galvanize the black vote on the back of the George Floyd murder and The Black Lives Matter movement being re-energized? She isn't ideal, what with her prosecutor's background, but she has to be better and more appealing than Klobuchar? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems incredibly rare; only Bush Senior in living memory has been elected POTUS after being VP. Reagan and Bush absolutely detested each other, and Reagan apparently spent much of the 60s and 70s dismissing Bush as mentally challenged. Being selected as a presidential running mate seems to imply you're considered a bit of a thicko, but one who has somehow established some level of support - you only have to look at some of the people selected over the years to see the 'useful idiot' hypothesis at work. As you say, it's probably a bad move for someone with genuine presidential ambitions to agree to VP considering that you're generally saddled with your serving president's reputation, and most folk are ready for a change by the time they're out of office. Edit: apparently Reagan, Bush, and Dole had established themselves as the Big Beasts of the Republican Party by the time selection for the 1980 election came around, which might explain why Bush is the outlier VP who managed to get himself elected. I had a great Time Magazine CD-ROM back in the day, if anyone's wondering which arse I'm pulling all this shit from.

The mutual hatred between their wives most likely was part of it as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what OANN is like, but it appears that Fox is finally leaning too far to the left for Trumpy boy. Edit: a string of Republican senators have chosen today to not look at any social media whatsoever. “I did not see the tweet, and I am late for lunch”, the old grey bloke says at 10.45am.

Looks like it could be Trumpy's plan for his post presidency media empire. Seem to get their tips from Qanon, and have full Whitehouse access.
