Not sure what your point is here. I would absolutely love to have a better choice than Trump or Biden. Romney, McCain, Cheney….any of those would do just fine. The point is exactly what I stated and doesn’t really pertain to you. It’s for those Dems who accused Romney and a McCain of being s#!tty, racist, women hating, xenophobia yet now claim those folks were actually great guys.

Seriously. WTF? I mean, I remember back when the Democrats nominated notorious centrist and reach-across-the-aisle guy Joe Biden, and the Right treated him like Karl Marx. Or are you simply pointing out that the Republican Party has abandoned competence and decency in order to run candidates that further inflame liberals? Remember, we did go down the Cheney road. Nobody on the Left forgot her pre-Trump record. But many on the right considered her turn on Trump a betrayal of the party. That would be you. Isn't it a bit weird that your "gotcha!" is actually an admission of your party's march to extremism?

This bulls#!t is exactly why Taylor and I broke up years ago. Things were pretty hot and heavy between us then she dropped the same rules on me. I told her what she could do with her clothing allowance (only $250k at that time). She begged me to reconsider but I dumped her a$$. I told her that she was being mean and that we were never getting back together.

Ukraine didn't win any meaningful battles last year, they didn't take back any lost territory. What gives you hope that changes this year?

Nebraska opens as 2.5 point underdogs with an over/under of 143.5. ESPN gives them a 38.6% chance to win. Rice is still out. (I think since I haven't heard anything), Keita is available for emergencies & Ulis is suspended. GBR!

SCOTUS so high on their own supply as high-minded apolitical neutral arbiters of the law (lol) that they just took up Trump’s ridiculous immunity argument that’s been destroyed at every lower level so they can in effect gift him another delay trying to run out the clock on justice. SCOTUS is a bad joke. There’s a reason their reputation is in the toilet. With lots of evidence they themselves are openly corrupt and able to be bought for the highest bidder, it’s no mistake they want to let the slimiest, most corrupt scumbag in our political hellscape slide by on his rather obvious crimes. But HEY! Look over HERE! It’s Hunter’s schlong!

I hate to toot my own horn, but I’ve been right there with ya on this

Shocker, what I have been saying all along.

Not you! It was a joke because strangelove has said over and over that people never change their minds. Sorry FRU the conFRUsion.

My perfectly chosen words were pointing out that it doesn’t matter who Republicans nominate, that person will be considered a racist, xenophobic, social security killing, devil spawn once the general election rolls around. It’s a time honored tradition by the left. Then an election or two happens and the Left begins to say, “ well why can’t the Right nominate a good candidate like they did in the previous elections?” As stated above, it wasn’t a gotcha statement That wouldn’t be me. My issue with her is she couldn’t get over 2020 and only focused on 2020. One of my same beefs with Trump post 2020 as you have read me post a few times now. THAT would be me, mi amigo.

I feel fairly confident that they aren't "missing" those calls. They are instructed not to call them.

Impossible! People do not change their minds! I kid, I kid.

He doesn’t realize that this board was actually about 50/50 for the 2008 and 2012 elections. It might have actually leaned towards Romney… The current GOP is just that bad.

This is THE POST OF THE YEAR

Is 'Mean' is about you? Or which one?

Here is who I have voted for in every election since 1984. 84 Reagan 88 & 92 HW Bush 96 Dole 2000 & 04 GW Bush 08 McCain 12 Obama 16 Ind Gary Johnson IIRC 20 Biden 24 Biden I can tell you categorically the change was not that I switched sides. The problem was that my party had begun the bats#!t trajectory. I thought Obama did okay in his first term so I bucked my trend in 2012 and voted for a Dem for the first time in my life. I liked that a Pres and party were actually attempting to address healthcare. That was my key issue at the time and I honestly have no recollection of what I felt about Romney at that time. 2016 I disliked both candidates so wasted my vote on an independent but I really didn’t feel all that strongly opposed to Trump. That changed by 2017-2018. By 2020 I had grown to absolutely despise Trump and his MAGA BS, so much so that I voted for a Dem I did not like at all, Biden. Took a lot of heat within my family and my wife’s family for it. But I will absolutely do it again this year also unless somebody else with a very real chance to beat Trump comes out of the woodwork in the next few months. My hope is that DJT’s fat a$$ keels over dead from lawsuit stress and poor nutritional choices before November.

Romney, McCain, and Cheney were the ones brought up in discussion. Therefore that’s the ones that were followed up on. I thought you understood that’s what was being talked about.

It probably could, but she's very philanthropic, so I have no issue with her using a small portion of her money on what she chooses.

I got 4 upper bowl roughly center court seats. Looking forward to it.

That’s a good thing. His time had passed a few elections ago I think. He should not be running for re-election either

Did you like Romney when he ran in 2012?

Shocker, what I have been saying all along. Don't forget a piece of humble pie to go with your vastly greater wisdom

This What If is a tough one: What if.... Frank had beaten Texas in 1999 (lost fumble crossing goal line on what would have been the winning TD) and won the NC, would that have prevented his firing 4 years later? I think it would be pretty difficult for Peterson to have fired Frank in 2003 if he had one the NC in 1999. If we had not fumbled against Texas, I think we beat either VT or FSU in the NC game. Perhaps that also elevates Frank's image nationally and we get better recruits and we never experience that 7-7 year in 2002. And maybe we don't get blown out by Colorado in 2001. Regardless, Peterson was wrong to have fired Frank when he had a 9-3 team. Maybe Frank doesn't win another NC but he is able to maintain the program for 8-12 more years and sets up Bo to take over the program without the BC stain on it.

Maybe he should never go into 'intelligence' as a career.

Not to big-time you guys, but I just got a text from Nikki Haley.

This is what I am talking about it. I think for "kids" like the college crowd, being a pro-pally bro is the "cool" thing to update your status with...not so much with the adults. I did not clarify that in my post, my mistake.

Just so Guy doesn’t get mad, I’m putting this here because you could insert almost any politicians name into this thread (until you get to the end and then it’s more uniquely Democrat) and come up with about the same results. It’s how politicians live a lavish lifestyle while working for less than lavish pay. People should either not donate to politicians like I don’t or demand a greater stewardship of the money given. Stay in the same type of places and travel the same way they would if they were paying with their own money instead of someone else’s.

It’s funny that todays GoP voter can recognize people like Wallace from 50 years ago but not see it today.

This writer has us with a 9-3 record and a 3-way tie for 3rd in the conference Pour me some https://247sports.com/longformarticle/big-ten-football-predictions-way-too-early-order-of-finish-final-records-for-2024-season-227752843/#2373192

Okay, do the Pro-Pally bros deally think it is genocide or is it is just the cool new FB and Insta update?

I wish anyone I ever dated would have given me $500K for a wardrobe upgrade.

This is fitting - Orange background for the orange guy

I'll take it they haven't heard of the Kennedys...

My former student had to "work on one" I can't remember when it was from but it was old.

Any other year you'd tell the losing candidates to drop out, it's over. But there remain 9 long months and multiple trials for a 77 year old Donald Trump who is going more senile and filter-less with each appearance and tweet. It's not the worst strategy for Republicans to remain Republicans and just hang around in case things implode.

The international Left is certainly using the most inflammatory language possible. But given the stunning percentage of women and children killed, general disregard for civilian safety, and express motives of Netanyahu and his fundamentalist minority, it may not be the leap you think. I also don't think anyone considers it cool, bro. You can learn more than those FB updates provide by reading what the grown-ups say about the situation: https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-limits-of-accusing-israel-of-genocide-under-international-law

Potential 1992 all over again but with the Dems losing out due to a strong 3rd party candidate. Ross Periot sunk GHWB chances in 92 - could we see RFKjr do the same with Bush? I wonder what Haley will do. Is there a chance she is staying in the race by becoming an independent candidate. In spite of a huge wave against her in the GOP primaries, she is sticking it out for some reason. She can't be that delusional to think she can overcome the cult in today's GOP. I think she wants to keep her name in front of the public in case a 3rd party situation opens up (No Labels) or perhaps trump is unable to continue his campaign because of conviction of one or more felonies and ends up in jail (which seems like a long shot based on current environment). Unfortunately, the most serious of the court cases, J6 and Documents cases) are down the road too far to affect the GOP convention. I don't know if there will be a conviction prior to the convention.

Maybe Nikki is going to stay in the race and in the end just run as some sort of "Independent Republican" taking votes away from Trump and making this a$$ kicking an even bigger a$$ kicking?

Nash's dad could definitely beat up your dad.

It’s really weird to me that we refer to dictators as strong men when they are the literal opposite of that. They are so weak they can’t allow people with opinions to live, and they have minions doing all the dirty work for them. They are the epitome of what it is to be a weak man.

I just can't believe 6-0. I like our chances individually in all of them, but we haven't strung four wins in a row together in the past 5 years. No way 6.
