Harris ?
Fucking hell

I know, right. Who wants a level-headed, erudite stateswoman running the free world when you could have a demented insurrectionist hell bent on turning the country into an ultra-nationalist dictatorship.

Sounds like all Harris will be doing is opening the door for Trump instead of putting up a fight, the Democrats should have gotten someone in sooner.

Don’t disagree, but I really do despair about Trump and his fan base .

A lot of people will be showing their ass over the next several months.

Antoney Blinken please. The current Secretary of State is brilliant.

This is what I don’t get. As a Brit who follows American politics to a fair degree, everything about Blinken screams presidential.

I think he’s not an option because he’s more of a civil servant figure than a political one, but surely he if decided to go for it he’d have massive support.

I must be missing something because to me he seems like such an obvious choice. I’ve said so on here several times.

His legacy is facilitating genocide.

Without a fuckin doubt. One horrible bastard.

The last thing we need is Bush V Gore finish to this election as SCOTUS might as well show up wearing MAGA hats.

Trump is now even more a superhero. Survived court, survived attempt on his life, forced the President to effectively resign.

All along I’ve said his base couldn’t be expanded. But put all this together and now it will. He looks all-powerful.

Disaster for America.

Complete bollocks. He resigned because his faculties have clearly deteriorated over the last year and those around him will have advised him well. Has fuck all to do with Trump.

I know he’s endorsing her but can’t the democrats refuse that?

 

[MCFC Wirral]

Do you want Trump to win?

Not really but I think he will.

If the Democrats would have just sorted this 12 months ago? This makes them look incompetent.

I doubt Trump can do much damage in the 4 years he has when/if he wins but even if he doesn't there's not much hope for politics over there if the best they can come up with is a lunatic or someone who should be being cared for in a rest home.
