I didn't vote for Trump in 2016. I didn't vote for Trump in 2020. I will not be voting for Trump in 2024. I think the hush money trial has been a farce. I will not vote for Biden for President. I will not vote for any Democrat on my ballot. I am politically homeless.

If Adam Laxalt wins in Nevada and Kari Lake in Arizona—this in addition to J. D. Vance in Ohio—will the position that Trump is a midterm “loser” or that Trump is “over” be even remotely tenable? Shouldn’t we wait till it’s over before offering half-baked summary judgments?

~32% of Georgia is Black 5 of GA's Congressmen are Black Democrats, equating to 35.7% of the 14 seat delegation. 4 of the state's seats are majority Black. A 5th is a D+10 majority minority seat. This is not about fairness. It is about forcing another Dem seat to be drawn.

Saw the RFK Jr Super Bowl Ad. Whatever you think of him (I don't care for him), we need more vintage/retro looking ads like that. Too many today are overproduced and melodramatic slop.

@JohnDalyBooks Why is it "disrespectful"? If evidence says Trump broke the law in how he kept or handled these classified documents, then he should be convicted, and if the offense is severe enough, then he shouldn't be pardoned.

What's keeping Herschel up is a combo of the following: 1. Kemp is really popular 2. Herschel is still the most popular living sports star in the state 3. People like Herschel so much because of point 2 that some soft GOP types find it hard to vote against him, scandals or not.

Doug Burgum won't be the GOP nominee, but if you're curious about who he is: 1. He's the "You Betcha" equivalent of Glenn Youngkin. (Uff da) 2. He doesn't like Trump. 3. He's a literal billionaire. 4. He's not looking to fight culture wars, but he'll sign the legislation.

Republicans in Georgia rejected Trump, but not other Rs down ballot. Take Fulton County Commission District 2, in North Fulton. R Incumbent Bob Ellis won reelection rather easily as Trump lost the district by several points, and Perdue lost more narrowly. #ElectionTwitter

@FanSidedNFL Considering how Teddy's career was derailed for nearly two whole seasons by one of the worst knee injuries this century, I'm willing to cut him some slack here.

Stop worrying about every last poll that comes in, folks. Doesn't matter if it's an R firm, a D firm, or non-partisan. The polls that matter are happening across America right now--and will continue until next Tuesday. It will all work out, you'll see. (And vote GOP)

@CarlPaulus "initially lost the popular vote" is a great way of saying "George W. Bush made both his appointments after he won a second term with a majority of the vote".

From April, 1943-July, 1944, Kaiser Shipyards built 50 Casablanca-class escort aircraft carriers from shipyards that didn't exist before WWII. They were on time and on budget, and the US Navy dropped its initial objections to such ships once they saw how useful they were.

If you think George Bush and Michelle Obama are from the same party, turn off the computer and go touch grass. You are serving no one by continuing to talk about politics.

True enlightenment is understanding that George Bush and Michelle Obama are from the same party. As the great George Carlin said, “It’s one big club and you’re not in it.” These people are all criminals. They are corrupt. We should never hold back on the Republican Party

My friend, an engineer with multiple degrees, is a suburbanite Atlanta Republican who was once a big Donald Trump supporter. Now, he's ready to move on and thinks Trump has "problems". He's lukewarm on RDS and wishes Brian Kemp would run for the nomination.
