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.

Dope1: Beshear is somebody ‘*I* could vote for. He makes far too much sense. His appearance on Bill Maher was fantastic.

Unfortunately, your party has to excise the crazies before he has a shot. Cory Booker is going to run. So will Pete Buttigieg. Both of them are totally incompetent...


Well, look... we agree, so that's probably the kiss of death for Beshear. I would have preferred him in '24 but that's water under the bridge.

Well, look... we disagree on Booker and Buttigieg. Booker was mayor of Newark and has been a senator since 2013. Buttigieg was a cabinet secretary. Both have considerably more experience than Trumpedo or the Couchf*cker had before they ran for the WH.

But I don't see Booker winning the primaries. Buttigieg is the smartest, most articulate of the potential '28 candidates but I don't see him at the top of the ticket... yet. Harris? Nope.

I think there are a lot of ticket possibilities with Beshear at the top, such as Gallego, Grisham, Shapiro, Moore, Kelly, Buttigieg, or Whitmer.
