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.

Not unreal, we've always known it.

It's nobody's fault that DeSantis hasn't been an impressive candidate on the national stage.

We on the right cry "Woke!" and decry corporate Wokeism, and illegal immigration and DeSantis has done so much more for those things than other people running.

Now the Koch machine will help Sticky Nikki the NeoCon. And who knows if she's the nominee, the FOX faithful will be saying "she's better than xxxxxx".

Sticky Nicky NeoCon vs Biden? I'm sorry, I'll go Biden - NeoCon Lite who likes health care.

I wonder if people on the Right remember how the NeoCon war not only cost American lives, but cost Republicans 2008 and gave 8 years of Obama.

I wonder if Righties remember that Bill Kristol, and other NeoCons see Republican base voters as a nuisance, and they side with Dems on many other issues....but return to the FOX crowd when they want to wave a flag and do another war somewhere.

I do.

While Sticky Nikki will bring out certain Liberal traits and attitudes, and that would be educational and fun.........yeah, not my cup of tea.

How many more Conservatives want to cut their throat on abortion. DeSantis might have. YoungKin might have. Multiple Red States went pro choice. "ISRAEL!" sent a big pro-choice middle finger to the people parading the Bible around in their defense.

Drop the abortion ban stuff. Geezuz. Partial birth? We have a winner. But the bans have costed the Right.

If Dems replace Joe Biden with another White Male - I'd have to hope the guy isn't a Progressive Taliban and I'd probably go for him.

Nikki.

Shit.

And New Hampshire is supposed to be smart. I'm a bit disappointed in them for bidding up her numbers.
