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.

HI LM.....

I have no idea what the political climate is in 2028 other than discontentedness - that part -100% sure.

2 IMperfect things I look at to read tea leaves:

1,)Uk Politics which i feel can mirror our own or fortell it.

Reagan-Thatcher. (similar)

Bush-Major (similar.)

Clinton-Blair- (my god - twins)

Dubya-Dave Cameron (compassionate conservative)

Obama-GordonBrown

BREXIT ----TRUMP

After Brexit, but for a few asterisks they've gone Starmer.... hardly a Brexit/MAGA endorsement.

2.)Here at home we tend to want new . Fresh.

Carter - demure, soft. Reagan - John Wayne

Bush - older, bumbling - Clinton - younger, charismatic.

Clinton - (Lewinsky) --- to Dubya - church and Laura

Dubya to Obama - charismatic and professorial both different than Bush.

Then we went Trump - the "eff you" candidate after which - - we went Biden, total opposite of eff-you but then - we AGAIN went opposite- to Trump, the eff-you candidiate.

But both of the above, it's not Vance.

Vance however is politically cunning and gofted and he's backed by Big Tech VC player and others. So for that reason i'll never count him out and also, never underestimate the Democrat's desire to lose----so they might do he/him they/them Sheeple stuff again and that might indeed deliver it for Vance.

Biggest WildCard: Are Dems united in 2028 and if so - is it a Clintonian Party, or an AOC party.

The *only* reason I don't call it 100% for Dems today is Vance is an excellent Rust Belt candidate.
