You know the drill: Rhetorical questions are best answered in the privacy of your own head
Rupert Murdoch knew Trump was lying about election fraud, but he told Fox News anchors to play along because he didn’t want to lose viewers to Newsmax & OANN. This indicates:
🔵: nothing Fox News says can be trusted
🔴: your news station will fail if you don’t cater to MAGA
The top priority for the U.S. Congress should be:
🔵 engaging in rigorous debate with the goal of making responsible decisions to help Americans at home and abroad
🔴: investigating Hunter Biden’s laptop and prosecuting Dr. Fauci
I don’t know who these imaginary DeSantis voters are supposed to be. What do people think is going to happen when Trump & DeSantis go head-to-head, competing for a base of longtime Trump supporters?
I am profoundly skeptical of the theory that Haley is only doing this to be considered as Trump’s VP. If so, why run against him at all? Does she think Trump won’t see this as an act of disloyalty? How milquetoast a campaign would it have to be to avoid offending Der Führer?
Many in the media would like to see a DeSantis Presidential candidacy because they want to see someone in the GOP challenge Trump.
But DeSantis’s primary appeal to Republican voters is that he would be “Trump, Part II.”
If he goes head-to-head with Trump, he loses those voters.
The only way a Republican could realistically challenge Trump would be as a fully-fledged Anti-MAGA alternative.
There aren’t any candidates like that likely to get in the race. I don’t think there are a whole lot of Republicans who’d even want one.
“The nickname ‘Meatball Ron’ will destroy DeSantis with the painfully uninformed knuckledragging halfwits who comprise the GOP base” is simultaneously the most ridiculous thing I could ever write and 100% true

10. It is difficult to overstate how dramatically Donald Trump has lowered the bar for intelligence among Republican leadership
9. From the “border crisis” to the “groomers” to the “woke mob”, the Right will view you as a hero if you can convince them you are fighting the enemies that they basically invented
8. Sending undocumented immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard may seem cruel, but to be fair liberals been shipping their elderly Republican relatives off to live in Florida for decades now
“As we proceed with our entirely unnecessary witch-hunt motivated purely by undiluted partisan revenge, we’d like to apologize to the innocent man baselessly smeared as a pedophile by a feral conspiracy-addled white-supremacist howler monkey from the Republic of QAnon.”
“We’d like to open the floor to more questions about Twitter’s unconscionable restrictions of the scandalous, fully-nude and possibly-erect photos of the President’s adult son that were hacked from his laptop by a patriotic American.”
We’re in “Insert Name Here” territory again. She would have made the exact same speech regardless of which Democrat was President or what they’d actually done.
I’ll do my best to avoid making this a referendum on her appearance, although I am sure many Republicans would concede that the Resting Huckabee Face does not help
