  1. Will anyone elected fix anything? Not freaking likely, the schizophrenic populace will not allow it. No matter who they vote for they want to destroy the country.

  2. I have no major issues with Trump, but he is also too old now to do another 4 years, as he will be 78-82 in office. That is a stretch even for a reasonably healthy senior man.

    Geriatric Biden was a huge error, so Republicans should be able to see that they need a younger candidate with experience. VP Harris will be a disaster, so I hope that Biden survives until the election.

    P.S. Most women need not apply, unless Thatcher quality.

    1. Hell he will catch up to me. Shit, yes, too old, I am too old. Well of course we know one never catches up.

    2. “I have no major issues with Trump, but he is also too old now to do another 4 years, as he will be 78-82 in office.”
      Correctomundo! But, not only that and, more importantly in my opinion, he can only serve one term. Politics is a long game. Even two terms hardly seems enough time to accomplish anything substantial.

      Also, I don’t think that Trump can win in ’24. The chart shows his big weakness: he is very polarizing. Almost half the voters intensely dislike him. He can’t win with those numbers. And he is definitely not going to undergo a personality change.

      If I were a betting man (and I am) I would put down good money that DeSantis will be the nominee for the Republicans and will go on to win the General.

      BTW, VOWG, I will be 84 in Sept. I’m curious to know how old you are?

  3. Trump had a big lead going into the last election, fat of of good it did him.

    1. Consider checking before assuming:

      1 July 2015: “Looking ahead to the general election, Clinton continues to hold significant leads over Bush (54% Clinton to 41% Bush) and Christie (56% Clinton to 37% Christie). She has also opened up wide leads over Rubio (56% Clinton to 39% Rubio) and Walker (57% Clinton to 38% Walker), as those two have slipped among independents. Clinton’s clearest advantage, however, is over Donald Trump, 59% say they would vote for Clinton if the 2016 match-up were between her and Trump, 34% say they would back Trump.”

  4. Age, popularity, decorum … NONE of these characteristics has done a GAWDdamnned thing for the health of our country. They don’t matter. What matters is that we not elect anyone who is in “the club”. America desperately needs another KICK ASS shit disturber who will do the bidding of THE AMERICAN PEOPLE … not the bidding of globalist corporations. The same corporations who are pushing Phaggy and Tranny on your elementary school children.

    1. As often, dead on comment, Kenji. Only the un-woke, not hooked-in leader positions can save the west from itself.

      And yes, Canadians are mostly irrelevant watchers and copy-cats of many bad ideas to what goes on in the USA. Most Americans could not name our capital. Actually, I bet many now badly-educated Canadians can not either.

      Happy birthday Queen Victoria, but you did choose a bad place for our capital. Ottawa has crappy weather except for May and September. Lived there for over 16 yrs.

      I do hope that Americans choose excellent candidates for 2024, as the mouse country next to you the elephant needs it too. There must some people who meet Kenji’s quals.

  5. I’ve never seen Musk as a political figure. We were at a family bbq yesterday (first time since before scamdemic) and, as expected, the conversation drifted towards American politics. The hatred for DeSantis was surprising, with one BIL calling him a “sack of s#!t.” Wow! I guess my family has finally moved on from TDS. But then, who cares what Canadians think about American politicians? Americans sure don’t care what we think.

    1. I actually care a lot. It’s why I hang out here on Kate’s blog. Plus my son in law is Canadian … and (half) Indigenous. You can imagine his family is a mixed bag (mostly Trudeau-lovers) … thankfully he is smarter than that (success does that to you) and has no use for Trudeau

      1. Kenji, I know you care. What I was trying to convey (and failed) was, what Canadians think about American politicians is irrelevant on election day; we’re not pulling any levers, so to speak.

        Conrad Black once wrote about “ghastly Canadian pomposity that thinks we have a national vocation to scold the Americans on their moral infirmities.” Sounds like my family and so many people I meet on the job.

        1. When Trump was President, I would go to parties at the neighbours. People couldn’t even conceive that anyone could possibly support anything he did. The smug condescension was palpable. At my wife’s direction, I kept my mouth shut. Smile and nod.
          While he is certainly correct in this instance, Conrad Black talking about pomposity is a pot/kettle thing and delightfully ironic!

    2. My response to the inevitably female middle-aged harridans who like to spout about US politicians is “This isn’t high school.. You’re not going to get to be queen bee by showing you have only the most fashionable opinions.” And then ignore them.

      It’s fun watching them BSOD.

      Sometimes they splutter and get indignant, so I follow up with “Still not high school. No one wants to sleep with you, so you can’t make the boys do what you want with a temper tantrum.”

    3. Whenever a fellow Canadian insults Americans, I use a bit of humor. Usually it is something like “Yes, those Americans can be slow learners. It took about 2 years to help my husband understand that the dishes must go *into* the dishwasher to get clean. Luckily my Ameri-Can kids learn more quickly.”

      It often takes the listener a few minutes to figure out that I’m married to an American. How they then react sure let’s you know quite a bit about their character.

  6. His ideological fitness is most concerning, as it gathers radicals, racists and jackboot thugs under the same “progressive” tent of power.
    The one progressing to Marxism: open borders, racist justice system, vilifying opposition, corruption, digital currency, social credit;
    His presidency a de-facto collectivist influence peddling operation of big tech, political ponzi schemes, police statism and payoffs.
    Where some presidential candidates are framed and others exonerated with hoaxes to essentially fix elections when not fixing votes.

    Puppet on a string, possibly medicated John Gill Quid Pro Joe and his banana republic is what he accuses his opponents of: hateful, dishonest, intolerant, ignorant, racist, IOW the real threat to everyone’s democracy (not just “ours”), goose stepping us off to war, first against Russia, then China. We are at greater danger of a general even world war since the 1930s and into WW2 as Hayek warned we were becoming tyrants we had to defeat at great cost. Fresh from the covid con, on to the war (easily deterrable) con, now to the “greener good” Orwellian collectivism of manufactured issues, concerns and of course enemies of the state and their unreality misinformation of any inconvenient facts. Progressivism. Taxation. Inflation. War. For continued power rinse off the blood and repeat.

    That the only thing stopping this fascist regime is the voters exercising their will in a free and final election is not comforting at all.
    Like Peter Strzok said: “No, no, he (the GOP candidate) won’t. We’ll stop it.” They got away with it twice. Of course they’ll try again.

  7. Here in benighted Little Canader we have age limits on our Senate and Supreme Court, set at 75 years. I believe that’s a system the Yanks should adopt and spare us Bader-Ginsburg, Biden, Feinstein, Waters etc., etc., and that includes Trump.

    And if by some circumstance Trump DOES win another presidential election, will the so-called Deep State have disappeared, or will they attack him with even more viciousness and insanity?

    We’ll have four more years of the same as ’16-’20. America needs a good civil war, as that’s the only way the corruption in that once-great country is going to be eliminated. On the bright side,Hollywood will have lots more stories to tell about the conflict and some movies might get interesting again.

  8. Trump for retribution.
    Donald Retribution Trump…
    This time its for revenge..
    Forget Make America Great Again,time for crush our enemies,let us bask in the lamentations and tears of these creatures..
    That civil war is already on.
    Does any one actually believe the busted ballot box still works.

  9. Sure.. Another Emperor Billionaire God to hold back the Barbarians.. Why not?..
