So a fella has just been found guilty of 34 counts of fraud and deception; yet he's still overwhelmingly favourite to be President again?
What a dangerous country.
What a dangerous country.
Hes already a convicted rapist.
Pathetic, I had some hopes that this guy might have been a semi decent GOP option at the start of the race, now he is kissing Trump’s ring.

I'll give him this: it says he's smart. Hedged his bets against Trump croaking in a safe way, let Haley lead the charge up Bunker Hill, pivoted back once it was clear how things play out if Trump wins.
It makes him a snake, sure, but that's how you survive in politics once the modern Huey Long comes to town.
…..I’m old and I’d like to think I’m not ageist but surely the Democrats could’ve transitioned somebody more dynamic than Biden into the next election.

I don’t think it’s ageist when theres a clear and valid question of competency. Same applies to Trump tbh. Without politics they’d be sitting in a room playing bridge together somewhere.
….perhaps not playing together, I’d like to think Biden is on a different level when it comes to values and decency.

Trump would be cheating and still losing. Biden would not realize he was even playing and instead would be talking about how he was going out for ice cream later.
"I understand the reason for Democratic meekness. In the 1980s, Democrats lost three straight presidential elections. They won the White House back with Bill Clinton, who often coopted GOP messaging. That was a long, long time ago, but the graybeards who still lead the Democratic Party believe that they have to say nothing but nice things about most Republicans, because otherwise they'll alienate people who've voted Republican in the past."
"Meanwhile, Republicans have relentlessly demonized Democrats since the Reagan era, which somehow hasn't prevented wavering Democrats from switching their allegiance to the GOP. Remember when Florida, Ohio, Iowa, and Missouri were purple states? Republicans saying mean things about Democrats didn't offend enough voters to prevent the reddening of these states. Yet veteran Democrats still believe they have to say that Donald Trump is an exception to the rule and Republicans have unimpeachable character otherwise. They won't say the party is rotten to the core, which is what Republicans say about the Democratic Party. And then they wonder why every election is a struggle."

No. He sees the reality of weaponising the legal system against a political rival.
So it begins...
