Unless he dies, I'm voting Biden. I don't like him, but, best option.
Truly hoping Cheeto chimp gets thrown in jail and disqualified.
I've tried to avoid news well before anyway.
If Trump is the Republican nominee I would vote for Biden even if he was dead.
None of them this time around. Christie is a moderate, but he will be out pretty soon. I’m surprised he’s hung on this long, although I’m happy that he has because he and Hutchinson are the only ones with the guts to tell the truth about Trump. Hutchinson hasn’t been polling high enough to be in the debates, but at least he’s on the sidelines saying Trump is trash.
Out of the declared candidates, my preference would probably be Christie or Haley as the nominee. I still wouldn’t vote for them, but they would be better than the others if the Republicans somehow win.
Overall, it’s a pretty piss poor field on both sides. If Biden was 15 years younger I would consider it a pretty solid ticket.
I hope Antony Blinken eventually runs. For me, he’s the brightest star in a pretty solid administration. Best Secretary of State in decades.
He may be as petty as Trump, but at least he has never planned a coup to overthrow the freaking government. A Republican willing to call out Trump for his bullshit is better than those that continue to lick his asshole imo. Sure it's a low bar to meet and Christie has a whole other bag of problems, but sadly most don't seem to get to that bar.
Christie only did that because there’s literally no other way to make himself stand out from other Republicans.
Christie is a piece of shit. Ask anyone alive in Jersey during his tenure. Fuck that guy, he should be in fucking prison. There are people literally serving time behind some shit he did.
Just goes to show how bad the rest of the field is when he’s the voice of reason on the debate stage.
Haley is literally a war monger. She stated she wanted us to get into 3 active wars, with China, Russia and Iran.
You would vote for the candidate who is most likely to start WW3???
No. I said I would not vote for her, although I view her as less problematic than Trump, Ramaswamy and DeSantis. It’s a terrible field. I mean, you’ve got a fascist, a racist and whatever the hell kind of nutcase Ramaswamy is. It’s hard to get on a stage with DeSantis and be the bigger asshole. Haley is none of those things so that’s a start. One of these people has to be the nominee.
Can I write in McCain?
That's how it typically goes.
