Holy crap, you just sent me down a Google rabbit hole. If you search for "how tall is jim jordan" you get various results saying anywhere from 6'0" to 5'8". But the author of this Twitter thread seems to have done some sleuthing, and for one thing, he wrestled at 134 in college. Not a lot of 6-footers who are that skinny (much less competitive wrestlers).
Obama is a constitutional law scholar that taught the subject at one of the most prestigious law schools in the country and was a senator in some form since 1997. I understand you don't like the guy and disagree with his policies, but how can you say he's "underqualified"? I ask this especially in the context of Herschel Walker who I don't even believe has a degree in political science, never served in the military, and has never held public office.
WTF apparently Gaetz and I have the same taste in shoes. I own that same pair.
The thing is, after 2016 (and to a lesser extent, 2020) he has carte blanche to never trust the polls again. So I can't imagine that being a persuasive argument.
Polling is irrelevant. The number that matters is how much money he can grift from his supporters.
And maybe years of intense study regarding the constitution and the progeny of legal issues associated therewith?
The way I see it, people enthusiastically voted against Trump (not necessarily because they liked Biden) even before Jan 6, and seeing that nonsense can only motivate them to vote again. That's true for me at least.
I dunno, I was told by some very wise people in this thread that if Trump picked a vibrant young Black person*, he'd win the Black vote and romp to victory. So why not Obama? It would be the ultimate manifestation of the old Bum Phillips line, "He can take hiz'n and beat your'n, and then he can take your'n and beat hiz'n."
Don't get me wrong, I'm ALL for it. My god. The U.S. would come to a stand still. No one would know what to do.
Biden's train wreck is 1000% better than more Trump. People have to realize not voting for Hillary earned him his presidency, right?
How hilarious would it be if that phenomenon was so widespread that Trump ended up winning the popular vote while losing in the Electoral College?
Reminds me of an old Bloom County cartoon (alas, can't find it online) where one character suggests nominating Jesse Jackson for president.
This very nearly happened in 2004. If Kerry had flipped 60K votes in Ohio, he would have won the EC while losing the popular vote by about 3M. You can't convince me that, if that had happened two elections in a row with each party getting hosed, it wouldn't have provided the impetus to finally ditch the Electoral College. Instead, GOP benefitted from it again in 2016 and it now is seen completely through a partisan lens.
Fair enough, but clearly we differ in our interpretation of "level-headed'.
I actually thought some of Obama's policies were bad. Heck, I didn't vote for the guy.
Isn’t Crenshaw on video telling his constituents Trump did not win the 2020 election? Not sure Trump’s little ego thingy could handle that.
She also is too smart to take a VP job under Trump. She would be forced to defend many of his outlandish statements and a good chance she or whoever else (other than a family member) took the VP job would get thrown under the bus along the way. Just ask Pence. I support the thought that Kristi Noem would take it though.
You’re doing the lord’s work here.
I actually think it will be Pompeo. He brings experience and a sense of "calm" to Trumps outlandish behavior.
That exchange was straight out of a Jordan Klepper interview.
