    Vivek simply ruined any slim chance of his winning the GOP nomination.

    I don't think he truly ever thought he'd get it anyway. Just a pure patriot doing his part to save America and make it great again. Keeping the rest of the idiots focused.

    Not really Rumsfeldian, but an interesting development nonetheless.

  6. It would be if he goes No Labels.

    The thing about Manchin, though, is that he never seemed to be much of a campaigner to me. I could see him doing five sunday news shows in one day but have a hard time seeing him in rally mode. Of course he could never campaign for other dems because he was not much of a dem and could not campaign much for republicans because he was a dem- so he had that limiting factor.

    The speculation will be there though. And I would not mind seeing any polling that goes with it, just for sport.

    Swing-state voters drawn to RFK Jr. candidacy as they sour on Trump-Biden matchup: poll

    Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could receive up to 26% support from registered voters in six key battleground states as voters sour on an increasingly likely rematch between President Biden and former President Donald Trump, a new poll shows.

    The New York Times/Siena College poll showed the 69-year-old political scion, environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine advocate receiving 22% backing in Wisconsin, 23% in Nevada and Pennsylvania, 24% support in Georgia, and 26% in Arizona and Michigan.

    The survey also shows Kennedy is most popular with young would-be voters, with 34% of respondents ages 18 to 29 and 31% of respondents ages 30 to 44 saying they would support him in a three-way race.

    The son of the late attorney general and senator from New York initially challenged Biden for the Democratic nomination but opted to stage an independent run last month.

    If Kennedy does make the ballot in any or all of the six states, the poll indicates his presence is more likely to harm Trump than Biden — but he would take support from both candidates.

    The poll shows that an RFK Jr. candidacy would affect Trump more, although the independent would siphon support from both candidates.
    In a hypothetical two-way race, 46% of Kennedy supporters in the six states said they would support or were leaning toward the 45th president.

    Another 39% said they would vote for or were leaning toward Biden.

    The poll previously showed Trump leading Biden in five of the six key states among registered voters, with only Wisconsin going for the Democrat, by a paltry two-point margin.

    With Kennedy involved, however, the political picture becomes much more murky.

    Trump and Biden are tied in Arizona at 33% each with the third-party candidate in the mix, and both men are even in Pennsylvania with 35% apiece.

    The former president’s lead over Biden in Georgia grows to seven percentage points (36% to 29%) when RFK Jr. is included, while the 77-year-old Republican’s lead shrinks to three points in Michigan (34% to 31%) and seven points Nevada (38% to 31%).

    Wisconsin still goes for Biden by two percentage points, but each major party candidate’s vote share drops by 10 percentage points, to 37% for Biden and 35% for Trump.

    Kennedy’s competitive showing is largely fueled by disdain for both of the past two White House occupants.

    The poll found just 42% of registered voters had a favorable view of Trump, with 56% holding an unfavorable view — but Biden’s spread was even worse, with 41% saying they had a favorable opinion of the commander-in-chief and 57% saying they had an unfavorable view.

    President Biden’s allies have been a bit nervous about his anemic showing in polling against GOP front-runner Donald Trump.

    Voters also overwhelmingly said they trusted Trump more than Biden on the economy, despite the president’s efforts to tout his “Bidenomics” agenda.

    The NYT/Siena College polling sent heart palpitations through the Democratic Party, with some luminaries publicly begging Biden to consider his position.

    “The stakes of miscalculation here are too dramatic to ignore,” former Obama strategist David Axelrod wrote on X. “Only @JoeBiden can make this decision. If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party. What he needs to decide is whether that is wise; whether it’s in HIS best interest or the country’s?”

    Man who called Biden “Mr Magoo” in Aug 2019 is still at it.., https://t.co/hn85Pr7kR6

    Try not to vomit, but I saw a clip of Hillary the other day (of course saying democracy was in danger of being upended for whatever reason)... and she is looking (physically) better than she has in a long time.

    Is the wicked witch really dead or did they roll the house off her and bring in the miracle doctors?

  10. Maybe she was looking good because she has been getting some lately.

    But only Huma could answer that.
