The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Yep, some farmers are finally upset with him, and some of the independents who voted for him, but not enough.

The Dems aren't offering an alternative, that the GOP doesn't have much of the center trained to recoil from. Fox Noise has trained so many people to instinctively run away from anyone they can label as a "socialist", or a "commie", or a "DEI hire". What do the Dems have: a non-white woman, a gay guy, an obese guy. Whitmer has been OK in Michigan, but she's not a man, therefore "DEI hire" to the GOP. Newsom may look OK, but he has the worst baggage: an ex-wife that snuggles with Trump Jr. Just the fact that he married that psycho makes me wonder about his judgement. Can you imagine the garbage she would spew about him in their private life? How about the Mayor of Detroit? Sort of short, a bit pudgy, and bald, but the city's turn around can't be denied. For the first time, since the 50s, Detroit's population is increasing. Real estate values have soared. But he's running as an independent, for Gov, which will split the Dem vote, which will put a MAGA in Lansing. The MAGA win will be blamed on Duggan, and he won't be able to show his face in a Dem convention again.

Where is the person who can really get the mob whipped up, like Bernie did in 2016?
