This isn't commentary on my personal feelings on the issue, but I do get the sense like he does that the country is pining for an alternative to Biden. The problem with the full time negative campaigning against Democrats, is any democratic admin is going to pick up baggage during their administration. Look what they managed to do with decades of smears against the Clintons (who I am no fan of, but whatever, it still was BS esp in Hillary's case). They drag down the opposition in the eyes of the public by pure attrition, no matter the lack of substance.
So he's right, in that sense. However, his run is irresponsible. He's a luxury we cannot afford, because he's wrong that he stands a better chance of beating Trump than Biden. Biden is the incumbent, he has universal name recognition, he can run on his record. Phillips has none of these things.
Dean Philips sounds like an anonymous college professor. Turns out he's an anonymous Congressman. Also, do you think maybe the fact that he is Jewish would have an impact in a Presidential Election? I mean, there is a reason the other party keeps talking about "globalists" and George Soros. And that reason is bigotry.
Well, obviously being a millionaire gives got extensive experience in governance from his time as (checks notes and a Forbes article) "heir to his stepfather’s Phillips Distilling Company empire, including brands such as UV Vodka and Phillips peppermint schnapps (Phillips has served as president, CEO and chairman of the liquor giant but has not worked there in an official capacity since 2017)"
The only ones looking for "alternatives" are the usual dipshit pundits who are just, like, SO BORED with maybe having to cover another Biden vs. Trump race. So what if our democracy is on the line? These bored tweens of the MSM are just, like, so over it! Gahd!
Seems to me that Phillips is the Dem version of Youngkin, just swap out a blue vest for the red one.

Is he Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?
The younger one. That's the whole point.
Ta, Dok. Literary as always.

"flying blind" on a rocket cycle 😀
"Dean Phillips is alive!?"--BRIAN BLESSED
He's my representative. He's fine. Probably the best we can do in this district. I wouldn't support him in the presidential primaries though.
I guess Dean R not remembering how close the polls were last time? And how relatively close the voting?
