[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if the Dems nominated a ticket with one man and one woman and they were both SUPER hot? Like really really hot [/quote]

This sounds at least partly sarcastic and silly - but unfortunately it is part serious too.  The fixation on superficial is why Dems keep losing.  
You may not like Trump but at least he had a real plan and he is doing what he promised. [/quote]

And it’s all been so fast…He got in there and executed on the plan (sadly). [/quote]

Trump has the cult of personality. Don’t ever kid yourself that it’s about his policies. More and more, if he’s not on the ballot, his policies don’t win races.[/quote]

you're free to think that, but I see it as exactly the opposite.  Trump's policies (enforcing the border, for example) are supported by a healthy majority of Americans, but Trump's personality and the attacks on him, and his unforced errors are what kept the 2024 election, and the general political climate in our country, close to 50/50.  If somebody younger, more likeable, and less controversial than Trump ran on the same policies, and the Democrats had a candidate like Ilhan Omar, Kamala Harris, Jasmine Crockett running on hard left policies like trans bathrooms, defunding the police, slavery reparations, DEI, open borders, Somali fraud, etc., the Republican would win in a landslide.[/quote]
Let’s see:
  Trans bathrooms - not a national issue.  Maybe a local issue in a few specific areas.
  Defunding police - never in the Democratic platform
  Slavery Reparations - never in the Democratic platform
  Somali fraud - not a “policy”, Democrats on record as needing to prosecute where it’s occurred
  So… as is typical of Republicans, the majority of your points are lies and distortions taken from Fox News, rather than representations of what Democrats are actually stand for.[/quote] Saying it’s “not in the platform, not a policy”, is insufficient when Candidates are openly supporting those positions. And I would say it’s everything in the original list, with the  exception of Somali fraud, agree that’s a stretch. Really, it was TV coverage of the extensive illegal border crossings that was the most damaging, and Kamala inability to say she would do anything different. That was a total fail.[/quote]
