The nominee has already been decided and Louisiana's primary isn't until 3/23.

I think we're headed for another situation like that. Trump hasn't done a damn thing to attract voters. In fact, he's done the exact opposite in my opinion.


He hasn't needed to attract anymore. I think most Americans know who Trump is and what he's about. Either they like him or they don't, I don't believe there is much "attracting" to be done.
The bigger factor will be how many votes RFK pulls from Dems

don't vote for teams. People excuse their preferred teams of ridiculous actions, just like fans excuse the fact that their favorite cfb team is full of thugs and criminals.


Bingo. I've literally called this phenomenon "team sports politics" for years. There's no logic under the sun that will ever convince me to root for the longhorns. Idc what argument is presented. It's great for sports rivalries, but horrible when people approach politics that way. There's too much nuance for that binary approach to be reasonable, yet our system rewards folks for doing exactly that (or playing upon such binary predilections for their own benefit).

I'll dislike whichever politician I damn well feel like hating on. And I'll vote for whomever I damn well feel like represents me best.



I've grown to hate all politicians. As a general rule. Red or blue, IDGAF at this point. I have more respect for people with an OnlyFans than someone who has had a political campaign fund.

And it isn't close, either.

RFK

The significance of RFK this election cycle is way overstated. He's no Ross Perot, or as a spectator during elections back in the bad ol' days, no Strom Thurmond or *gasp* George Wallace. I would be shocked if he gets more that 2-3% of the vote. This year's election is waaay too important to fritter away on a candidate with 0.0001% chance of getting any electoral votes.

The fact that it’s the actual hardcore lefties here doing the strongest poo pooing of RFK, is probably telling.

The attitudes and opinions commonly shared in the area I live reflect those of most common tax paying citizens across this nation compared to whatever communist, enemy of freedom, and fem boy area you choose to infect.

How did we ever get to this? I just stated that RFK won't be a factor this year in the election. It's really a binary choice, and RFK isn't a serious player

He will not be a factor to win the election himself but he will be a factor on who else can win.

That's really up in the air. If anything he'll siphon votes from disaffected Republicans who simply can't digest the prospect of a *gasp* Trump presidency. Democrats are more united behind a man-- a plan.

The only concern for Biden this cycle is enthusiasm, but-- the more Trump and his peccadillos ARE the headlines, the more energized frank Biden supporters-- and independents, and currently undecideds-- will become.

Well, that and staying alive and remember his name and not sniffing more little girls.

Think the hate for Biden is much less than the hate for Hillary back in 2016

Honestly, the best advice for him is to do what Biden did in 2020 and just stay in the basement and let Biden implode. Of course we know he won't because he's literally incapable of such.

And now Geoff Duncan is being courted by No Labels. He has hundreds of millions in a war chest; enough to siphon votes.
