    kmgilroy89,

    You still running for President of the United States?

    If so, shouldn't you be more concerned about Trump and not Obama because Obama is not running for President here in 2024.

    Your constituents are doing write-ins for you ???

    In my opinion, it's a great time for an Independent considering most in America do not want a Trump/Biden repeat. Also, did you see Trump's most recent interview of him flip-flopping...he's speculating that Social Security and Medicare "entitlements" will be cut if he's elected President.

    https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/11/politics/trump-entitlements-social-security-medicare/index.html

    Strangely...after listening to Trump talking about cutting entitlements in Social Security and Medicare...

    Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt later told CNN that Trump was “clearly talking about cutting waste, not entitlements.”...

    “We don’t have to play around with Social Security and Medicare,” Trump said at a campaign rally in Michigan last month.

    I'm curious what is your opinion about the above type of flip-flopping that Trump is doing depending on the state he's speaking at in the primaries considering he's your competition for President of the United States.

    Oh, poor Katie Britt. Being treated like a screeching demented MAGA supporter.

    Republicans say Britt being treated like Sarah Palin 2.0

    An interesting comparison by the Democrats that the Republicans think is unfair includes some of the MAGA (main subgroup) of the GOP that reminded America that Palin had a great approval rating (93% and 89% approval among voters) going into their elections.

    The main difference is that Palin was the VP running mate of McCain...Katie Britt is not the VP running mate of Trump.​

    Yet, there was a whisper that Katie Britt's GOP Response to the SOTU was an audition for Trump's running mate VP spot. In my opinion, if that was true...Trump wouldn't touch her now as the VP...she's damaged goods.

    Reading the responses to Britt ,few are about her policy; but about her being at a kitchen table
    She was attractive, articulate so the left had to mean girl her before she became a movement....They do this to all Republicans when give the response

    Unlike Biden who can use a kitchen table to talk
    Biden’s ‘kitchen table conversations’ with normal people are going viral on TikTok

  8. The demoncrats are uncharitable. She is the youngest member of the senate. Although she is a full grown adult and full senator, nevertheless there is room to offer a little extra space and slack to a newcomer without eviscerating them- unless they are full blown nazi, communist, jihadist, or antisemite calling for the death of jews as a handful are from the get-go, mostly congressional reps.

    Have they forgotten that at one time Joe Biden was the youngest member of the senate and the club took him under its wing and helped him out a bit in the early days, knowing full well that he was complete babbling idiot?

    “Parody-Level Terrible”: Even Republicans Are Panning Katie Britt’s Creepy-as-F**k State of the Union Response

    By virtually all accounts, Joe Biden’s State of the Union address was a hit: A majority of viewers had a positive reaction to the speech, and even conservatives admitted that the man they claim is not up to the job of being president was full of energy on Thursday night.

    “In short, Biden had his game on,” modern American history professor Christopher Phelps told Newsweek.

    “This was an unequivocal success.” Unfortunately for the GOP, success is not a word people are using when discussing Katie Britt’s response to Biden, which had a vibe that could be best characterized as “low-budget horror movie,” “Handmaid’s Tale–esque,” or simply “creepy as f--k.”

    In fact, the whole thing was so weird and cringeworthy—from the Alabama lawmaker’s deeply unsettling whispering, to the words “steeped in the blood of patriots,” to the sense that before the director yelled “cut,” Britt was going to go threaten a specific teacher for letting her kid read a book about kindness—that even Republicans are panning her response. And they’re not holding back!

    “Everyone’s fucking losing it,” one GOP strategist told the Daily Beast of the response to Britt’s kitchen table rebuttal, which will no doubt be parodied on Saturday Night Live this weekend.

    “It’s one of our biggest disasters ever.” Said a source close to Donald Trump: “Her performance was the stuff of nightmares.”

    Speaking to a Business Insider reporter, a Republican Hill staffer opined: “She really thinks she’s killing it. But it’s comical. Like SNL quality.” On X, conservative commentator Allie Beth Stuckey wrote: “…the delivery was parody-level terrible.”
