Trump is an unbelievable jerk. But at the same time, Americans know the country was better off in 2020 than it is today. You are too bonkers to concede that.

If the GOP can nominate someone who will advocate for similar policies to Trump's, but do so like more of an adult (and that's a huge 'if'), such a person would be very tough for any of the democrat front-runners to beat. Based on where we are today, the only democrat I wouldn't bet that Desantis would beat, is Michelle Obama. She's un-beatable in my opinion

That's the difference between me and you. I hate Michelle Obama like you hate all Republicans. But that doesn't mean I'm not rational enough to concede conclusions which I don't happen to like. I do that all the time. On your side, Paul is the only one capable of it. You, Spence, Wayne, GS...to you guys, the left has never been wrong, and everyone on the right is a Sith Lord.
We all are just too amazed by the depth of your political wisdom.
Perhaps you are a Sith Lord reincarnated.
Your vision of DeSantis vs Michelle Obama is comical.

Mr Unwoke vs Mrs Obama.

Meanwhile the man you consistently supported for years has in the last 2 weeks, pledged solidarity with the Jan 6 rioters, dined with 2 Holocaust-denying fans of Hitler, and called for terminating the Constitution. Yet he remains the front-runner and clear favorite for the GOP nomination president in 2024.

Out, damned spot! out, I say!—One, two; why, then ‘tis time to do’t.—Hell is murky!—Fie, my lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?—Yet who would have thought the old man to have so much blood in him? The thane of Fife had a wife; where is she now?—What, will these hands ne’er be clean?—No more o’that, my lord, no more o’that: you mar all with this starting. Here’s the smell of the blood still: all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. Oh, oh, oh!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
