Can't disagree with the last part. No way she'll try to run for office again after being washed so comprehensively.

The Democrats did the right thing making abortion an issue and maybe, among other things, needed to go harder on that – it was a clear winner for them. Where I think they didn't gain anything was trying to appeal to anti-Trump Republicans by bringing the Cheneys into the campaign. They got nothing from it and only further alienated potential left-wing voters.

^^ He is hilarious, and often right on with his analysis but just because they didn't campaign on woke lines, the Dems were/are, rightly or wrongly, considered champions of woke policies.

Unusually for a Republican, Trump said he wouldn't sign a national abortion ban. Therefore, it would be up to individual states to decide the legality or illegality around abortion rather than it involving the federal government.

The Democrats tried to turn it into a signature issue and were emboldened by the 2022 midterm results where they exceeded polling expectations and some interpreted these results as being driven off the back of Roe vs. Wade being overturned by the SCOTUS following the Dobbs decision.

At the end of the day, it was the economy and immigration that were cited as being the biggest issues among voters. Harris and her campaign overestimated abortion being the biggest concern among voters, especially female voters which they were relying upon to win the election.

While no more evidence is required that the lunatics will be running the asylum we have just received news that Trumps nomination for Secretary of Defence is a Fox news host and one seemingly not even good enough to make their weekday lineup.

Thankfully he reached the distinguished rank of Captain in the Army National Guard. LOL.

MAGA supporters will be comforted however that he's not backed by the elite unless of course you count the billionaire Koch brothers.

Honestly, you couldn't make this shit up.

America is so f*cked.

I wonder if the other Fox Presenters who have sucked up to Trump for years will be nominated for other government positions?

The same people that were ok with Sam Brinton being in charge of nuclear waste have issues with Pete Hegseth.

Tom Homan has the easiest job in America as border tzar. He only has to visit the right border crossing and he'll have achieved more than Biden's border tzar.

The neo-Nazis do love a pictorial representation, don’t they?

What was the background music for that conversation? “Tomorrow Belongs to Me”?

That is a seriously stupid comment.
I’m surprised that the mods haven’t deleted it yet.
You can dislike Trump all you like but to compare him to Hitler is f**king stupid and makes you look like an ignorant fool.

Be better!
