The defense secretary has floated a White House run with close friends and associates, two people said. And Hegseth sparked speculation with an event in Iowa this month.
On the other hand, look at the history of presidents and their parties. It ALWAYS swaps parties unless there is a particularly popular vice president. Literally, back to Washington.
The US isn’t like Japan where the LDP wins consecutive elections for decades on end.
The republican candidate was GOING to win in 2016.
We are now in a time of chaos. I feel Dems will probably sweep the midterms and maybe win in 2028, but it’s unclear. We’ve only had one nonconsecutive president before.
Not really though, post civil war there was a 40 year pause where no democrats were president iirc until Wilson won due to Teddy Roosevelt splitting the vote
Remember when the Supreme Court interfered in the presidential election because of hanging chads and effectively kept Gore from winning, thus leading somehow to the death of Harambe and bringing us to the bad place dimension where everything always gets worse and almost always in the worst way possible?
Yeah… like you said, history likes to repeat itself.
Right. Standing up there and yelling “there’s that f__ talk again!” as some kind of response, ala Idiocracy would be a huge selling point for the Tribe That Rub Shit In Their Hair. The pig people loooove that kind of stuff - they are intimidated by competency, expertise and people that are smarter than them. An idiot like donnie or Petey are their idea of “common sense” politicians.
That, combined with enough of the apathetic staying home as well as the armchair “leftists” that love to tell everyone how it is useless to vote, (at least to actually vote for a candidate that can actually win) and you’ll get Petey in office…
Please be the republican nominee.
Keep in mind that is exactly what I thought when Trump announced his candidacy in 2015.
Hmmm.
You make a good point.

I wouldn’t put money on James (Vance).

Oh yes; I remember the Brooks Brothers riot.
Begging the question — was Al Gore a particularly popular vice president?
Having lived through it, I would say no.
Which doesn’t mean Dubya was wildly popular. Only that Al wasn’t.
Whether Dubya won legitimately, the national mood wasn’t four more years of Clinton.
That’s because both sides are shit and just keep the rich and powerful, rich and powerful, in exchange for money.
I was about to say just that.
Never ever ask the universe to do something funny. It was already going to, and now it’s irritated.

Hegseth in a debate. Now that I’d like to see. What a putz.
