Also, too, Kasich is an asshole. But he does understand that governance is an actual thing people have to do. So, yeah, moderate may not be the word, but I think he and Bush at least approached the job with something resembling seriousness? They would have been bad Presidents, but not failed ones like Trump. Mmmmaybe Christie is in that camp, but Huckabee, Santorum, Paul, Cruz and the rest were shock candidates who are literally unimaginable in the job.
I would look forward to the entertainment value of the 2024 Republican primary season, if it weren't for the fact that whatever flavor of delusion floats to the top has a chance of actually ending up running the country. Voters seem to have really short memories for how badly their "for the lulz" choices turned out the last time.
"Maybe the slack-jawed broadcast press won't be so utterly clueless this round, letting themselves get led around by the nose every time some moron spews a psychotic quote."Excuse me for just a minute: Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha, oh man, that was a GOOD one, thank you!
Come on, unless The Treasoner has gone to Kentucky Fried Assho Hell (or whoever it deserves to perpetual unrest itself) he goin run, of course he is. Or he's gonna set himself up to be the kingmaker by in part continuing to bleed his rubes dry so they can't give the GLOP any dough. Crusty & Wholey can fantasize all they like, doesn't mean shit.
Ta, Stephen. As I've said before, Democrats and Dem-leaning Independents must vote in overwhelming numbers. The GOP is now a clown car, or is that klown kar?
What are you reading now? I'm re-reading Madame Bovary (haven't read it since high school). Meh. Beautifully written, but it's another book by an old guy splainin' to us how young ladies are so fragile and emotional.
The GOP has to offer Trump a retirement package, aka a buyout, including a no- compete clause, and NOT all up front. The badder news: the package numero begins with a B. Which, for the benefit to the GOP of having T get back to biz, appearing, speaking, singing at weddings etc. and not saying anything untoward ( this is why you pay him monthly, or daily) is CHEEP. Because otherwise this orange albatross hangs around the neck of the party, slowly rotting and stinking up the GOP for the next two cycles.
Bwwaahaaahaaa. Oh, man my brain is just fried. I need a reset. Time to turn off the news and the snark and just sit in nature for while. Happy Earth Day.
Eisenhower. Wilson. Lincoln. Jackson.
"Martian Secretion" is my cocktail of choice. I always have to teach bartenders how to make it tho. :D
I totally agree. Ryan fit their idee fixe, a thoughtful conservative who understands policy. Such a thing can exist. But Ryan ain't it.

Someone has to tell Carlson not to listen with his mouth wide open, as though in shock. A frown will do. And don't wear bow ties.
Not really fair. He had been VP. I think the guy meant has anyone who was never a politician. Off the top of my Canuck head I'd guess Ike.
Admittedly, that's a stretch. And it's going to require her to smile and keep her mouth shut; non-starter, I guess.
