Republican Mitt Romney calls Biden a "genuinely good man"
Maybe the DNC is short on cash, but that Alpha Karen Spanberger here in Virginia is flush with out-of-state money. She’s raised about four times what Sears has.
I think the big donors are giving directly to candidates rather than the central committee.
interesting. i wonder what effect that will have on their side, since we know big crony capital, wall street, to big to fail banks, the new tech billionaires (who got/get rich on cheap foreign labor and gov’t debt), and finally old leftist family money have groomed all their vetted candidates ‘till now, against the prime requirement of their base which now is always hate Trump no matter what.
i guess we’re going to be getting more bernies, aocs, luigis and hoags galore. connected types like gavin might be out.
The “brain & money” part of democrat coalition wants Newsom, a white guy that can triangulate issues.
The base wants to go left in an AOC direction, a “double down” on their female & gay orientation.
All I can say about the democrats in 2028 is:
“There Will Be Blood.”
Wasn’t Gates at the White House this week?
Didn’t Gates go to the White House this week?
makes sense. ok with me as long as it’s not our ‘Blood’ that ends up on the floor.
so we might predict the establishment types like gavin, cuomo, and bass will first demagog to the commie, trans, gay, feminist populist left; oppose/slow walk Trump in any way they can; use the dem fraud machine to win/steal the primaries in blue states/cities; or use a dem off year convention for same (yeah, i saw the gop planning on an off year convention too—probably a bad move for them as usual), and then they (the dem establishment) tack back to the center for the general having purged the populists and secured their own candidates.
sounds a lot like what the gope did to the tea party. that’s probably good for us if their ‘better’ candidates get picked off by their establishment. that will probably demoralize their base.
the populist socialists will fight back like mandame calling establishment dems a failure, demagogue to the leftist crowd, and try to win the polls to draw more money. they’ll hope to take advantage of split votes in the establishment. if they can win, the dems will probably become more formidable in my opinion.
so, i think we shouldn’t be attacking their populist candidates directly as that will probably strengthen them. Trump should probably keep out of their battles, but most republicans just can’t resist logically attacking socialists.
for me, the upshot of all this sound and fury on their side: i think Trump should be working first and foremost on election integrity and stopping the dem fraud machine. the less fraud, the more our advantage.

Exactly right, the young socialist candidates need to be ignored.
Destroying Newsom as a national candidate should be the priority.
Last week was hemorrhaging. This week it’s dysphoria. Gonna need a biologist to figure out this mess.
Trump cut funding from USAID to the Gates Foundation. That’s why.
DEI destroys. You see it in slow motion destroying the entire Democrat Party. DEI destroys much faster in the wild where it will encounter difficult things like “questions.”
The “Party of We” becoming the “Party of I.”
Thanks ‘Civ; that’s what the demon likes.
Logic and reason are not hallmarks of the left. They will go down with the ship. They will ride their 5-95 positions right to the bottom proudly and cry fraud later.
My pleasure.
I don’t have conversations with demons, but maybe that’s your wheelhouse?
LOL! No, I’ve never talked to Bill Gates either.
He's the only billionaire to whom I've been in proximity, at a convention years ago, all geeks. He and his, uh, detail went right by, it was a breakfast/brunch with speakers, for hundreds of people who'd not gotten any sleep.
While the emcee was at the dais microphone with some spiel, and was heading for the introduction, there was activity in the corner of my right eye. I turned my head a bit, and I leaned in a little as a courtesy (the place was a little crowded) but got brushed a little by him and everyone who had to squeeze through. I've never been much of a BG fan, but it was a great geek moment.
In later years he obviously got some elocution lessons, but that morning he was stunningly boring.
Exactly...my first thought.
