Why's Phillips running as a boring Republican? I heard his speech and he just addressed the ordinary list of GOP worries. While being super- charmless.

As a MNCD3 DFL (Democrat- Farm Labor) member and up to this insanity a proud member of the Dean Team I am one who is shaking my head and because he could (will) lose badly to Biden has to now decide if he is toast or should we support him for re-election to his CD3 House seat. He has plenty of time before the June Filing deadline to lose and re-run.

The question in CD3 is should we back him or look to other excellent possibilities. After all MNCD3 is very purple but the GOP isn't exactly plumb witn candidates in Minnesota CD3 to oppose him in the general election but the primary and endorsement is another. Talk about letting Ageism and useless polls being your reason to run against a President you voted 100% with?

The question is, Do we let this stunt pass or look for a new leader for MNCD3.

Stephen Robinson made me feel better for a few minutes in this terrible period of time.

The sweet spot between Ralph Nader and Jill Stein. Gawd-dam that is brilliant.

Thanks for that.

I was wondering why they were talking about this knob as if he had potential on This Week:

Is THAT what this is about? This guy is going to run around slagging Biden for at least a few weeks because he was reprimanded for acting like an ass on Air Force One?

Jesus Christ. Some people never left the junior high cafeteria.

Pretty soon Fox News and Newsmax will be the only ones booking this guy for appearances. And he's probably a big enough jackass to go on them.

"He immodestly and incorrectly takes partial credit for helping elect Biden in 2020 through his Lincoln Project scam"

Scam?

The actual Lincoln Project are ridin' with Biden and have officially disassociated themselves from Schmidt

Have already ranted repeatedly, what the polls actually show is that the numbers for Drumpf are finally in line with his actual performance, while those for Biden are simply too low to be believable. Substitute Hillary Clinton's actual numbers, and these same polls show Drumpf with no better than a tie in the popular vote.

Seth Triggs:You’re new to politics, aren’t you? I’ll bet you thought it was a good slogan to chant :”Defund the police.” And, that the situation at the border is under control and won’t be a campaigns issue that hurts the Democrats. Biden has had his moment; he needs to put his country and his party ahead of his ego.

Meanwhile, Uncle Joe and Auntie Kamala are working at the job of GETTING STUFF DONE which should look good on the resume to get RE-ELECTED for 2024.

Bumper crop of chaos agents this election season.

Democrats, stay the course, ignore this guy and remember to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. Republicans must be defeated.

"Either Phillips is deliberately working to tank Biden or he’s too stupid to live." --SER

Both. It's both.

For perhaps the first time in my lengthy readership of Wonkette, I'm going to disagree sharply with it. I will vote for Phillips or any other real Democrat who mounts a primary challenge to Biden-Harris. What is so hard for them (the Biden-Harris team, and this writer) to get? Voters don't want them to run again because they agree with the idea that THEY VERY WELL COULD LOSE TO A CRIMINAL DESTROYER OF DEMOCRACY AND THE RULE OF LAW' Neither Biden or Harris inspire. Period. The polls may not have it 100% correct, but they aren't off by 30%. Bottom line, I want a credible candidate, like Wilmer or Shapiro or Newsom to step up and run - before it's too late and we really are saddled with a nursing home ad and his even more disliked side kick.

Say, you know who else saw it was time for a change? Hint: he killed the tsar and his ministers.
