Well, Biden hasn't resigned from the Presidency. I refuse to read op-eds behind a paywall. It is a fact that the Dem mainstream leadership forced Biden to withdraw and anointed Harris without a single vote.

It'll be interesting to see whether Harris gets any additional boost during/after this week's convention. Personally, I think her honeymoon is unsustainable but what's remarkable is almost any other Republican would do better against her than Trump.

I'm Never Trump (and Never Harris) but you have to be gullible to think a Harris rally in The Villages area of Florida is representative. Registered Floridian Republicans in the state outnumber Dems by over a million. They won't support a tax-and-spend Harris.

I can still remember a BIL giving me a biography of the late Colin Powell, like Kinzinger, a nominal Republican. I think Bush was the last Republican he supported. I'm Never Trump but I would never let the DNC use me like Kinzinger as a useful bipartisan idiot

The fact is the Dem Party routinely promises voters free stuff, and Dems opposed the Georgia law disallowing Dem operatives from handing out food and drinks to voters. The reference to donuts was metaphoric. https://t.co/y0GpSX7rCD

Leftists are still trying to scapegoat Comey for Clinton's loss to Trump. First, Clinton's use of a private email server for government emails was explicitly against government policy. Second, the reason why Clinton lost was her unpopularity, not her emails.

Both Trump and Harris believe in unfettered spending, both of them are against trade, and both want to manipulate the economy for political gain. Both are pandering economic illiterates.

Apparently I did my own share of hype. We used to do these Catholic retreats in East Texas while I was at UH. We would stop at a diner (I love diners) on the way. One of my new friends grumbled to me he thought the food wasn't as good as I led him to believe.

Well, the report that 818,000 job gains reported in 2023/2024 don't exist undermines the alleged successes of Bidenomics. We are paying a high price for record super-spending under Trump and Biden over the pandemic and failed Fed monetary response to inflation.

We libertarians practice tolerance, even allowing RFK, Jr. and Trump to make their sales pitches to our national convention. I just wish RFK, Jr. would endorse Chase Oliver rather than failed Trump, a self-serving RINO.

The basic point is Big Government is intrinsically corrupt. Trump is no principled conservative. The RINO is Dem-lite. His basic argument is he can run Big Government better.

This isn't to say the Trumpist Party is that much better; they merely install speed bumps on the Dem road to hell. Trump during the pandemic was like Bush in 2008: "I had to abandon free market principles to save the free market system." BS!

Well, self-serving RINO Trump basically has feuded with all recent nominees: Romney, McCain and the Bushes. The only thing he has in common with the old GOP is economically indefensible protectionist tariffs.

First of all, police power is reserved to the states, not the federal government. Seven judicial activists could not rationalize a crime against humanity.

Not even that clever partisan BS. The electoral college provides votes for each roughly equally apportioned Congressional district (with each state guaranteed one). Each state could assign that vote to district plurality winner, unlike "winner take all" CA. Not based on race.
