PleaseBlitz Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I mean, his objective running as an independent wouldn't be to win, it would be to **** over the GOP candidate that beat him. He could still easily achieve that objective even if he's barred in six states. Of course, he wouldn't even need to official run to do that, he could just keep being his usual self and constantly hurl invective at the GOP nominee. That said, none of this matters, most signs point to Trump running away with this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 Trump isn’t running 3rd party. He wouldn’t spend the money to get on all the ballots where he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Enhance" them as you see fit and then leave them in opposing neighbors mailboxes. With a little effort you should be able to push them into Hatfield and Mccoy territory. Then just get some lemonade and popcorn, put on some body armor, and watch the games. Fun for the whole family! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His small donors- average Joes aren't flowing in money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Going to have lunch with Adam Schiff this weekend. He's running to succeed Dianne Feinstein in the Senate. Going shake his hand and have a shot of whiskey with the gentleman. He is taking a thousand bucks from me so he better win! 🗯 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 On 3/5/2023 at 4:53 PM, Larry said: Has it even been demonstrated by Hogan? Granted, it's harder to tell, with a Governor. No pesky on-the-record votes for federal budgets, or anything. He was overruled by a Democratic (but not really all that progressive) legislature on many matters in Maryland. But overriding vetoes often takes a year to happen because of the sign-o-rama that takes place every Spring. The legislature has to take it back up the following year. So there was a lot of negotiating here and there from both. Hogan often agreed to sign watered down proposals in the name of expediency and he would sometimes get some red meat toward the projects he wanted (often related to building things near his or his friend's properties.)

NoCalMike Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 DeSantis is going to get Chris Christied in the primary if he attempts to run against Trump. I think DeSantis is another case of big fish in a small pond. It's also why on the other side, I am not sure if Newsom would play on a national level despite me personally liking a lot of aspects of him. Trump is in the unique position where his supporters simply don't care about any of his negative traits. They either ignore them, excuse them, or outright deny they exist. It gives Trump free reign to go after his opponents without any fear of what they might say back in response. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Weird that DeSantis led Trump by 12 in a University of New Hampshire Poll roughly a month earlier: https://scholars.unh.edu/survey_center_polls/727/ Still think it depends on how quickly this can become a two-person race. Agree with NoCal that Trump's supporters don't care about his negative traits, and again think he's the most likely party nominee, and probable winner of the 2024 presidential election. That said, its still head scratching that GOP voters overall would choose him if there was just one relatively strong challenger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Do you not realize that 30 to 40% of the GOP base believes Trump was removed due to deep state conspiracy, criminally and illegally stuffing mail-in ballots for Biden? If I was a conservative, woman and black hating insecure white male, I would like him too. I am waiting for the liberal version of Trump like personality to show up and crush all the Democratic politicians. Have to make due with "uncharismatically competent, if not somewhat steady..." ..

I agree about Porter, but Schiff is incredibly intelligent and a heavyweight for the Democrats in Congress. I just looked through his Wikipedia and realized his wife's name is Eve. Could be an interesting ice breaker... Porter is more progressive, Schiff more of a centrist and foreign policy guy although they are both social liberals. I would be interested in what his thoughts are on Ukraine-Russia and China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer Schiff stay in the House. Not just go away all together. Strategically, I think Porter's style would stand out even better in the Senate. That's all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'd be good in the Senate. He's smart and well spoken. To be honest, I'm tired of Schumer. I want new Dems who like Pete and Porter, think fast and can flip an argument while making a point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
