    bullets13 got a reaction from CardinalBacker in Who Will Be President Trump's VP Pick?!   
    But not on the republican voters to provide an electable option in the primary.  It's always the centrists and lefties who are the dumb ones.  
    Tell you what, I'm going to open up a fine dining restaurant in Caney Head.  Really good, really expensive food.  And when it fails, I'm going to blame the locals for being unsophisticated.  After all, this is really good food.  Then I'm going to wait a couple of years, reopen in the same place as the same restaurant, serving the same expensive food, and blame the locals when it fails again.  Then when someone with a shred of common sense suggests I start serving hamburgers and chicken fried steak, I'm going to refuse to serve food that would be successful in that area, instead standing firm with my menu and spending my time complaining about how stupid and poor the locals are after my restaurant fails for a second time.
     
    As an aside: Trump can be a turd sandwich and also have been a good president (i'd say pretty decent, but close enough).  But when the turd sandwich part outweighs the good or decent president part for a majority of the country it becomes a major issue.  It cost him the election 4 years ago, and it's a bigger problem today.  The only reason he even has a shot is because Biden may be the worst president in history.  But hey, let's not change anything, remain unappealing to over half of the country, and blame everyone else if we don't win!

    back to the old "the voters are stupid if they don't decide our turd sandwich is better than their turd sandwich" argument.  first and foremost it's the party's responsibility to put out electable candidates (both failed).  Then the party line voters are responsible for picking an electable option in the primaries for the general election (both failed again).  And finally, once you get to the general election, it's the entire country's responsibility to pick the best option for the job.  85-90% of the country's vote is decided before a candidate is ever named (and everyone commenting in this thread falls in this category).  And to be completely honest, the left has done a better job of pandering to those 10-15% who actually decide the presidency, they're just screwed here because they have the sitting president and he wants to run again.  Lucky for them the right are throwing the same guy at him that lost the last time, and nobody likes him any more than they did 4 years ago.  If we'd picked literally ANYBODY besides Trump in the primary it would be a cakewalk.  As it is, it'll be a tight race likely coming down to tenths of percentages in a handful of states to decide things.  But hey, instead of doing what's necessary to win elections, let's just insist on doing the same thing that didn't work before, demanding the other side completely adjust their politics without any concessions, and then blame them for being stupid when they don't agree to our terms and just vote in their own not very good candidate.

    The right choice is whoever ensures Biden isn’t re-elected.  I think she’d do that.

    I don't think TG is as liberal as is thought to be. But 4 years ago, yes, I would agree. Now she continues to trend right for sure. Trumps in great health. The VP who could bring crossover votes would be highly prized, and TG might never actually ascend to the Presidency.

    The problem as well as that all of the social justice warriors, influencers, and instigators repeat these lies in the immediate days after the event, garnering outrage.  But when they're proven false they never go back and rescind their outrage-causing posts, they just move on to the next one.

    It’s terrible no matter what happened.
    I am always concerned with the news media and social media outright lies or incorrect information that is put out, maybe in a rush to be first. Watching the video, it is easy to see that some of the earlier claims are simply nonsense.
    The officer might be cleared or he might face trial but we should be disgusted with the misinformation. Having been on scene or shortly after an officer involved shooting three times, I can say that some information that comes out is a complete fabrication.
    This is a horrible situation no matter who was at fault. I wish that the nonsensical false information would stop. That won’t happen…..

    The RANGERS took 3 out of 4 games to win the series with oakland.  I don't what's in the air at the coliseum but there were 65 total runs scored in those 4 games.  The boys of summer get a day off then head to colorado for a 3 game set. 
    As of May 9 the RANGERS hold a 1 game lead over seattle in the standings.
    TEXAS 22-17

    There is undeniable irony and hypocrisy in the fact that Trump has the unwavering support of conservative republicans across the country who've pushed legislation that makes it much more difficult to access her on pornhub.

    What a great day for America. The presumptive nominee for the Republican Party (you know, the party of conservative Christian Values) is being testified about. 
     
    You know… getting spanked by a porn star, being a two-pump chump, (all while cheating on his then-wife and future First Lady… who coincidentally is a nude model, herself)… and the world laughs.

    when kids play multiple sports in high school they should be allowed to focus on one sport at a time.  There's no reason a baseball player who's about to go to the playoffs should get hurt running football drills in April.  Imagine if this had been reversed and a star football player shattered his wrist taking mandated varsity batting practice in September.

    I think the economics of this country is a crapshoot. (Honestly) I just believe that Biden is not physically/mentally up to play the role, rather have a president than a puppet. Trump is up in the polls he should stay away from the media and his ego and just ride the wave .
  24. Thanks

    If it’s Biden or trump. And I have to choose. I’m leaning Trump. (I can’t believe this great country has given us these options. 342 millions Americans to choose from yet here we are)
    I don’t care what side of the line you stand, We could have done better.

    If Crumedy eventually has bigger aspirations than being in Jasper, every aspect of the program will be looked at when someone interviews him for any job. He knows that. The mindset needs to be that any time someone wears a Jasper uniform, that they're doing everything they possibly can to win. It matters.
