BTW, Whitmer supposedly has a secret campaign team ready to go in 48 hours in case Biden doesn't run. Heard on RAV so no link.

That being said, there may be massive cheating ;)

LOL! MAY! I gather you are the perpetual hopeful optimist.

Nope. He can't. East of the Mississippi he's toast. No chance. Why didn't Kamala make it out of the gate in 2019. There's been no west coast POTUS in our lifetimes. Reagan was from IL even though he was a CA actor. Nixon is the only CA native born POTUS.

Massholes, Phillytards, DC, Atlanta, they'd vote Newsome if his mask fell off and he was revealed to be a Reptile Visitor.

Then in places like GA or PA, flood the zone with paper ballots and Newsome is President.

I hear you, but there's too much negative news about CA. And I'm not just talking about what I hear from this site. In conversations with randoms when I travel CA being a shit hole politically comes up. Being from IL when you tell someone they ask how bad it is. I'm like not as bad as CA and they 100% respond with that's true.... but the weather. Everyone knows it's a shit hole state run by morons. Could be amazing. But it's why Newsom stands no chance.

Lefties are called Libtards for a reason. And they LOVE Newsom because he 'nails' MAGA (he flat out lies and gets away with it) politicians in 'debates'.

Still, if the GOP is even a quarter competent, they can just air ads of how bad California is instead of talking about Newsom or even answering his attacks - which will be abortion based.

This is known in my network in IL and WI. Newsom wouldn't stand a chance nation wide. And for a guy he just looks like a dick. I guess maybe he'd pick up some dip shit women, but they probably don't vote. He's dead in fly over country. You need Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc. He can't win those states. We love CA to visit, but these states and their population cannot stand CA.

As crazy as this sounds the Dems are better running Biden. No I'll ever be able to prove this unless Newsom replaces Biden and wins. He won't. I honestly don't know if there will be an election in November.

Yes he can. Dems control those states' election fraud machinery. Well, maybe not in Ohio.

Exactly look at Atlanta metro area as a prime example. AntiFa operatives were all over there canvasing for mail in ballots starting summer 2020.

LOL.

After Ron petered out, it was all Nikki. Then she petered out. Now it's Vivek.

Sure, it's the deep state to some degree, but it's also campaign staff wannabes and people wanting to publish books and get minor positions and influence.

The shorter the primary season, the less $$$ they can make, directly or indirectly.

There hasn't been a single vote cast yet. How has Ron petered out?

Vivek was a fucking dumb liberal until about 2 minutes ago. I appreciate the zeal of the recently converted, but how smart can he be to live most of his life as a retarded Liberal?

And of course Trump world is shitting all over Vivek this weekend for insufficient fealty.

Only because Trump wants at least 50% of the vote and he sees Vivek taking that from him.

That's a positive. At least they are fighting and advertising themselves to the voter, not like the DC politbureau which picks the running and ruining leftoid of the season and anybody daring their "candidacy" will be taken off the ballot. The demonrat party at this point is no different than chynna communist party, or castro turdeau

Vivek quits campaign and endorses Trump

Lot of people Midwest cant trust vivek. Most think he is muslim, n brown so he had little Chance. He is not muslim.

They thought trump was democrat also.

He will be vp or sec of state.

VP will show that rep are ok with minority and will be hard to call rep racist.

Sec of state, if there is china war, they will need asian, specifically indian support to counter china. He can facilitate that.

Haley must have the same problem.

Nikki views are quite different than republicans, she is rino, n cnn promoted her so obviously she is not the one.
Haley looks relatively white, North Indians can pass off as white. East Indians can can pass off as Chinese or other asians. Skin tone depends on how far r u from sunny equator.

Patrick says

The fact that Vivek says nothing about the death jab convinces me that he is a Deep State plant.

@Patrick - images don't load for me frequently now. Neither do videos.

mell says

Vivek smoked asshole warmongers Christie and Haley well. Love this guy. Go Vivek!

I'd LIKE to think he's different, but I don't believe he is. Despite him being a supposed billionaire, he's got a lot of baggage and money he owes to people.

I think he is CIA Trump. He talks a good game, and hopefully I'm just too cynical, but I don't trust him.

@richwicks Thanks for telling me.

The site was being attacked a few days ago, so I implemented nginx rate-limiting:

limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=one:10m rate=600r/m; # limit users to 600 requests per minute
limit_req_status 429;

Sadly, it caused problems like you describe. I undid it before noon today. Are you still having problems?

@richwicks, welcome back(?). We were getting worried.

He's still saying all the right things:

It's too bad Trump didn't pick this guy as the VP, as he rivals Trump in several areas. So he's not a threat, but a bit too strong as a support player. I hope he remains in play as a strong conservative voice. We need more like him!

For Trump's last term, I think he's perfect and he'd have a good chance of running in 2028.

Vivek or Tulsi would have been great.

Tulsi would have been better than Vivek. I'll be blunt but Indians (the country) even if born in America are not really liked in the midwest. Think Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Minnesota. Plus he's a smooth/quick talker. Not my opinion just what I witness. The Simpsons didn't do them any favors either.

Tusli would have gotten liberal women votes. She not a slut like Kamala and doesn't look like a cucked hag like Hillary when she ran. So not gay guys would have supported it.

Been watching some JD stuff. Unimpressed. We'll see who the VP pick is for Kamala if it's even Kamala by the convention. All this said, the VP does little for POTUS. Maybe a 1-2 point swing if it's a good/bad pick.
