yes, he was picked to deliver Va.  He had an awful debate but is sharp as a whip and his own man.  Very impressive in person and unlike almost all the R candidates, has integrity.  He won't run.  He consider retiring from the senate next election but is concerned youngkin will take the seat and possibly the senate majority.  He believes that would be very bad and he's correct.

 

I know you've said you met him, and I have as well.

Twice, in the emergency exit isle, bot times,  on New York to DC shuttle flights.

Got into a conversation as he was the speaker at my son's college grad.

We talked at length the first time about Virginia colleges and the programs to pay for them, which I had  great deal of experience in, as my three kids each went to different state schools, Christopher Newport, Virginia Tech and UVA. 

 

The second time he was about to take over as Chairman of the Democrat National Committee, so we talked about that.

Decent guy. A typical Virginian. Reasonable and centrist.

He would only lose to cheating.

No how no way are that many people progressively brain dead in America.

How many mid terms did you feel that way about?

Spread the word.  Trump is a loser. He might might win a primary but will never win the office.

 

bring back balance of power. 

The only way Trump loses is if you give Republican primary voters only two choices.  DeSantis would pry be the best choice but Haley/Scott/Pence/Hutchinson would also work.  If not you'll see a repeat of 2016 where all the non Trump candidates will just take away each other's votes allowing Trump to win with around 30% in a lot of states. 

 

Democrats were able to do this in 2020 when Klobachar and Buttigeg dropped out right before Super Tuesday and threw their support behind Biden stopping Sanders from winning the nomination.  They knew a self described socialist would've been destroyed in the general election.

 

Trump could beat Biden if he stuck to the issues but another candidate would probably have a much better chance.

Issues like abortion? Seriously?

Very ironic that trump is the republican politician most likely to have paid for abortion(s) over the years and he also is the one who is most responsible for outlawing them

 

 

 

The ironic part is it was a DEM funded PAC that fought the 15 week limit in Miss that took the entire topic to the supreme court.  Without that high priced PACS actions, would Row still be a thing?

you need to get a life

Don’t feel hurt. PAC is political action committee… does that help?

I’m not hurt, I kinda feel sorry for you. Every time you post it’s about the other guy’s personal life. That’s a sign of someone who has a pathetic life themselves 

Pac isn’t a personal life topic it’s political action committee 
Was that the confusing part?

Not so much, although that was part of an off topic rant.  The part that was confusing was when the poster was describing the Roe v. Wade case (I think) as Row 

 

cute that you have his back though - I think he can respond on his own

 

 

 

pretty sure he was talking about Dobbs, which was was resurfaced abortion in the Supreme Court.

i thought it was a good point. The irony a Dem pac pushed the case to the Supreme Court which led to the reversal. 
 

but I’m sure you knew all that right?

Ok cool, don't care

you held a strong view it was the redubs that took it to the supreme court, (seems like you cared)

 

when it was a DEM PAC fighting a 15-week limit.

 

I was just trying to help you out by presenting facts.

It really doesn't. You decided to chime in on your own. You were not asked nor did I really care about your interpretation. Let the man speak for himself

You clearly had no idea what you were talking about, and he helped explain a simple concept. Usually I say thank you when someone gives me assistance, but you do you.

more input from the peanut gallery that was not asked for, nor cared about

It takes a village to raise the village idiot. 😀
