If you put Michelle and Barack on a scale together, I think Trump would still weigh more.
That would be the weight class he could win.

I think you’re being hasty. You’re telling me the lead from Charles in Charge, the 55th-ranked show in 1984, is not a heavy hitter?

I’ll take Lee Greenwood any day, if he can find the stage. And how about that Kid Rock, he played that one song he’s played for 25 years again. Wooo! And don’t forget Hulk Hogan. Did the DNC make you think to yourself, “isn’t that the president from *Idiocracy*?” No, it didn’t.

It’s been pointed out that, besides Trump, no other former president or vice president on the GOP side spoke at their convention. Not Bush, Quayle, Cheney, Pence.
The GOP shed its pantheon for a single deity. And there is no room for anyone at the feet of Trump who isn’t loudly and proudly parroting the words of their new master.
It’s because of this specifically that they don’t have anyone else who can say anything but what Trump wants them to say. Look at the ‘weird’ debate. Trump said he’s not weird. Now the GOP has to follow suit and repeat his claim. Instead of ignoring it or spinning it, they have to defend him. The gospel of Trump is the only path. Going off script is heresy.

The Obamas are beloved and that sent the right in to a tailspin and caused them to drop all pretense of not being a bunch of racist fascist assholes. Imagine what Kamala Harris is going to do to the Republican Party if and when she’s elected and turns out to be a solid leader.

I think the MAGA GOP has driven away so many moderate to lean conservative Republicans that most will migrate and integrate into the Democrat party. So more Joe Manchins are created.

We still need to win, it’s not in the bag just yet. It won’t be until Kamala is being sworn in on January 20th and makes all those 45/47 hats and banners meaningless.

Rush Limbaugh (you could just put his show on loop and even dead they would still worship him), Bill OReilly, Alex Jones, Glenn Beck

Just read the line up for the Maga rally in Glendale AZ this week. all I can say is “UGH”. What a group of hateful creatures. The atmosphere in that arena will be so heavy and constricting. So glad Kamala had her rally there first. I am interested in the condition they leave the venue in. There wasn’t much trash left behind after the Dems event.

Can anyone seriously tell me the GOP will be able to regroup and find someone in their bullpen that has an ounce of talent that could match the quality bullpen the Dems currently have?
And I’m not talking about Dem candidates that have only one thing going for them. The Dems have more than a dozen highly talented individuals that are intelligent, articulate, personable, and attractive.
The GOP has, um… bupkis. Well, except for a couple of them that jumped ship when it was taken over by the MAGAssholes. The problem with them is they’ll be competing against the empty shell of MAGA until they all die off.
Harris has to win for this to happen. Vote.

I can see Trump losing yet retaining control of the Republicans because there’s no-one to stand up to him – as he intended. Dare we hope he can hang on until the midterms? When he finally expires or has his phone call privileges revoked, there will have to be a weird mud wrestling competition between the orcs before rebuilding can commence. It could take ages. I’m reminded of Berlin after Hitler died – nothing left but rubble.

Republicans DO have lots of senior statesmen/women available with national name recognition. They would have been at an RNC in normal times. Like Bush II, Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney, Pence, various high-profile former cabinet members.
They just don’t want anything to do with Trump.

Not true.
Ben Shapiro is always willing to be the GOP whipping boy, writing terrible articles for sorry ass media conglomerates.
If you need an example, Forum Communications posts his bullshit weekly in every one of their papers. They actually print his bullshit. Fargo Forum, weekly, printing his weird shit about “why is Kamala Harris’s daughter covered in tattoos? It’s because America is a failure.”
Dude hates America more than Putin.
