2019 Politics- Life in Trump World

Re: 2019 Politics- Life in Trump World
I'm voting for Biden if he doesn't self-destruct. After Trump we'll need someone with extensive experience to get things put back together. Warren would probably be my second choice, though none of the likely winners thrill me. But I will vote for whomever it will be.

Warren is from Massachusetts and looks like a schoolmarm, so I suspect she'd have trouble in South and Midwest. I was thinking that Kamala Harris screwed up her chance to be Biden's VP, but now I'm not so sure-- I think it would cement his reputation for being able to play well with opponents.
In other news, it looks like ranked voting will likely be on the ballot next year in Massachusetts.

How will that work? Is it likely to yield an outcome that better represents the people's will?RJDiogenes wrote: ↑Sun Aug 04, 2019 5:18 pmIn other news, it looks like ranked voting will likely be on the ballot next year in Massachusetts.
That's a good point. I don't like Joe, but his experience would come in handy in mending the country.

It happened in Maine last year, so one down and forty-nine to go. There's currently an initiative underway in Virginia.

California is trying to keep people off the ballot if they haven't released their tax returns. Naturally it's being challenged in court.

Great. We really need it.
Yeah, I saw that on CNN. Somehow I don't think they'll get very far with it.

So that's The Donald's endgame!

Oh, that cracked me up.
Not that Greenland couldn't become a part of the States, because it's been considered before, but it's a self-governing territory-- you don't buy it, you send an invitation.

I'm planning on retiring there when the ice melts. There's going to be this nice inland sea in the interior.

And polarized.

Meanwhile it looks like Trump has at least two Primary challengers now. Obviously nothing will come of it, but perhaps it will weaken him in the general.

Re: 2019 Politics- Life in Trump World
It's definitely not good for him. I'd be amazed if they managed to nominate someone else, even though I'm sure most of them want to. But it would really be the best outcome for everybody. It would win a little respect for the GOP and restore a little faith in the system for people.

"Just grab... your pen." 
That's a great video, but sadly beyond The Donald's comprehension. He'll understand that he's being mocked, though, which is good enough.
