Former Vice President Mike Pence is on DeSantis’s heels with eight percent after doubling his support since the poll that was taken from July 17-18.

I would love to know whatever happened to I like Ike?

I think there are pluses and minus to every candidate, Trump included. There are positives and negatives to every candidate.

But too many discussions here devolve into someone saying that a certain issue with some candidate is a deal breaker, he is too liberal, he is deep state, etc. So then there’s no basis for discussion, to compare and contrast candidates.

I think you are right. Vivek is not known enough and he sure isn’t Trump. He may sound good, but I don’t think he has gained any trust yet.

No, it isn’t. At least not any more.

And (I’m not supporting Vivek here just asking) Would you rather have a secularized Hindu who is an honest person or the child molesting, lying, senile, pervert supporting, but “Devoutly Catholic” Joe Shitbag Biden?

Better a righteous pagan than an apostate.

President Stupid signed away $400M in voter fraud funding in 2020. Now he acts surprised and outraged that they used the money he gave them to do exactly what they said they were going to do with it.

Fraud from top to bottom.

Without a doubt. It's already turned out the other poll that had him doing this good had gotten at least $1 million straight from his campaign.
