Yeah. The Dems are like the CPC in Canada. Winning California by 10 million votes doesn't get you any extra electoral votes, just like the CPC winning a rural Alberta riding with 80% of the vote only gets them 1 seat in the house.

Except for that I think Gavin Newsom would be a good replacement.

OH man. Imagine if Trump had to debate Obama? what a bloodbath that would be.

it'd probably be a bloodbath against any somewhat decent opponent. Trump was smart not to debate Chris Christie in the primary.

EDIT: Just realized they probably won't respond because they don't know what "bereft" means.

Is this more up your alley?

Facebook boomer meme for sure. I’m surprised they didn’t post some weird Jesus meme along with it

He can't run if Harris is the VP.

Why?

They are both from California.

If what I heard was correct, you can't have the President and VP from the same state.

Harris has been based out of Washington, DC since becoming Vice-President though, so it'd be pretty trivial to change her primary residence (if she hasn't anyway). Dick Cheney lived in Texas in 2000, but just got a Wyoming driver's license a few days before getting on the ticket and that was fine.

It makes me wonder if someone like Beshear would be a good candidate, or at least as a running mate. He seems to be popular in his region which is mostly red. If you're a Democrat winning in Kentucky routinely, you must be doing something right.

Bill Clinton being a Democrat from Arkansas was a pretty big deal when he ran for the same reason. Carter before that helps swing a couple of southern states as well.

Yeah. That's why the Republicans wanted Arnold Schwarzenegger to run so badly. A republican who could win California has a nearly 100% chance of winning. (He couldn't run because he wasn't born in the USA).

Late to the party but Hogan speaking is the chef's kiss considering he is one of the most notorious liars on earth. There are entire websites dedicated to Hogan's lies. Like playing Bass in Metallica, being in 4 places at once, ect.

Him and Trump are perfect for eachother.

Back on topic...figure out who kicks Trump's ass and nominate them. The fact that these "polls" are this close when Trump is basically taking on a Roomba is something else lol.

Zuckerberg's reaction after Trump was shot.

Well the Trumpster loves his blondes!

[Galakanokis]

Does he think Hulk Hogan is Ivanka?

[Paulie Walnuts]

That doesn't look like he blew him a kiss.

Looks more like he is jerking him off and kissing him on the lips.

I unfortunately stumbled across Jr's TikTok and he called his daughter sexy.
