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.

I repeat--- regardless of hte fine print. Regardless what the podcaster-tattood-mullet-guy-or-crucifix-wearing-low-cut-dress-bleached-hair-girl says on social media, the public *will* perceive medicaid cuts. And 20 million + swing state voters will feel the subsidy for ACA cuts. 88% of ACA growth since Biden put in the subsidies ---were from Trump Red States and many from - swing states.

I've said multiple times to remember how everyone, including the former Bushies and NeoCon lovers here wrote off Trump---- yet he won.

And he did it because it was Trump getting 100% of the MAGA vote. While the Google Jockey NeoCon Republican Establishment types were splitting the anti trump vote multiple ways and i've said, while i'm NOT calling it for AOC - be careful - she is the Trump of the Left. (Sheeple has no stones to endorse her or Momdani here---but don't take Gutless Wonderism to represent the entire Left)

My worry is if the health care stuff pisses people off - and a few videos of medicans being beat up or abused is released, we've LOST and then......

On one side you got Prtizker, Beshear, Shapiro, Rahm, and all the ships at see splitting the "moderate" Democrat vote.

But on the otherside, AOC can coast to a win with a plurality of primary votes. Please google --you'll see a recent article showing how Dem divisions continue - while the AOC crowd is raising money and steam.

Now --if the Turmp Republican brand is toxic (big if)...the challenger wins.

You might be giving the coutnry to AOC and the woke America haters. Just like this was MAGA's chance to finnally do their stuff.....THIS will be the America hater's chance to finally do their work.

And you know what? Swing voters who went Trump will quietly vote for it out of desparation.

My guess is she's so smart - she'll not go for Presidency but rather the Senate with her 2nd choice being a majority leader or a Ted Kennedy power center one day.

But ---if she sees a path. Be careful.

Not my type - but hey - looks hot in white and black i'll give her that.

Small perks you know?
