Who appeals to INDEPENDENTS for president right now?

Rubio looks like he desperately wants out of the current administration, but feels stuck because otherwise he has no shot at the presidency. I would be willing to hear him out. I don't know enough about Kennedy in Louisiana. I think you are right about Shapiro. Not sure about Beshar from KY. I hear his name a lot but haven't dug into learn more about him. |

Ok, but I absolutely would not trust any candidate that was socializing with maga republicans. You cannot legitimize this lunacy. |

Who on Earth would still vote for him, knowing what he’s done and how pathetic he looks now? |

We need to win in 2028, and that means being pragmatic.
Nobody from inside this insanely corrupt administration, no matter how uncomfortable they look sitting on the sofa in the Oval. Nobody who has provided cover for this administration or stayed silent in the face of the corruption - which rules out pretty much every establishment Republican. If this nation wouldn't elect Hillary or Kamala, it's not electing AOC either. We need a pragmatic candidate who is not deeply in bed with AIPAC. |

What?! I don't even know what you are referring to! Did you watch the same hearings I did? When did Justice Kavanaugh admit he sexually assaulted Christine Blasey Ford? He absolutely did not. He admitted that he "liked beer" and that he still "liked beer" where his friends and former roommates said he was a frequent drunk who would get belligerent. He said he never blacked out where his own friends said he became "incoherent" and "passed out." Kavanaugh is an example of the OPPOSITE of Graham Platner. He refused to admit what most of watching the hearings believed to be true AND he reacted in a forceful, scary, unsupreme court justice kind of way. The only thing he admitted to was regretting that he acted in a cringeworthy way in the hearings! I actually think Graham Platner is too controversial and am not the PP. But what he is accused of is a totally different level: 1) getting a skull tattoo that supposedly everyone knows is a Nazi symbol. Given that I have a PhD and never in my life knew that was a Nazi symbol, I find it credible. Either way, HE ISN'T a NAZI so there's that. and 2) writing a bunch of inappropriate offensive things that he has apologized for. Words matter, they do. But do not compare that to raping someone! |

Where are you getting that Rubio wants out? From the shame and embarrassment in his eyes? Please tell me one reason we should believe that he isn't going along with everything? Whatever you are inferring contradicts every action Rubio has taken. He hasn't moderated Trump or stopped the insanity in any way. Rubio will be tainted for the rest of his career. |

Platner used the r-word in an interview within the last month. It's very obvious to this nearly 60 year old woman that his apologies are empty and entirely self-serving, and it should be reiterated again and again and again that the apologies only came after he was caught out red handed for having deleted all those reddit posts and tried his best to totally hide from the Maine electorate who he *was* a decade ago - which utter character failing tends to suggest it is who he *IS* still, today. It's also repugnant that he tried to blame his ugly words and thoughts on PTSD, which doesn't cause racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, xenophobia or a general disdain for one's neighbors who Platner called 'all racist and stupid' - the very people he's asking to represent. He's every bit as disgusting as Kavanaugh and I have little doubt - as a woman in this world who was once a girl in this world and for too many years a criminal attorney in this world both defender and prosecutor - that Platner has raped someone in his past, which is undoubtedly from where he developed his disgusting perspective that women who make claims of rape are all liars regretting drunken sex. |

And whatever your PhD is in, Platner claims to be a big history buff particularly military history and he has 6 years of college under his belt despite never managing to complete a degree. It's a hard pass on buying that in 20 years he never figured out that he had a Totenkopf tattoo on his chest - until it became a political liability while he's trying to don sheep's clothing and sell himself as a good natured populist. He wrote on reddit that he was excited to go to the Middle East and kill some brown people. This is not a man of good character, period. Anybody who would say such a thing after his frontal lobe has fully developed has serious character deficiencies. |

| The DNC needs to apologize first doing all it could do elect Trump before I ever vote for their candidate again. |

Speaking of corruption, where is the $20 billion from donkey-blue Minnesota? Even more from California? Where's all that medicare and medicaid money? |

What vile toxicity is that? Wanting a ceasefire? Caring that I see people living on the street in every major Us city yet we’ve sent trillions to a country that commits genocide, and messes with our elections? And if you think it’s just one person on here, you are very very wrong. |

You see people in the street because they want to be there. Most of what you see are the drug addicted who do not want to rejoin society. The majority are there because they want to be. Hard to believe for bleeding-hearts, but learn a little about the causes and motivations. |

Who is that? Seriously? So many of them are deeply corrupted. The only way one of them can lose the taint is by asking AOC to be their VP |
