    Mark my words, Chris Christie will be the last holdout in the primaries I guarantee you. He knows Trump is going to get convicted and is banking on slipping in as the only viable alternative in Q3 of next year.

      I’d prefer Haley if we had to end up with a Republican. She at least seems to understand geopolitics and the failing stance of being staunchly anti-abortion more than Christie.

      She tows the party line, I think, mostly because she has to, but is more sensible (for a Republican) on many issues.

          Did you watch the first debate? She openly criticized her own party HARD for fucking the economy with the TC&J Act when nobody else seems to want to touch that one. I find her to be the most honest of the bunch about her beliefs

            No, but I did watch the most recent debate where she attacked the premise of the national abortion ban question rather than answering it.

            Cudos to her if she would actually seek to reverse the TC&J act. But I consider it a strike against someone’s credibility when they side step a question rather than make their beliefs known.

          While I will admit that I haven’t been paying much attention to this Calvacade of Also-Rans, I have been absorbing repeated ads on Hulu where Nimarata Randhawa strongly suggests that we should be bombing Iran ASAP.

          So I’m not sure “sane” is the best label here.

    He probably just wants to spend more time with his girlfriend, who is 100% not fictional.

      he said that he was the candidate libzzzzzzz were scared of.

      Remember when GOP candidates ran on such tag lines like “I’m a uniter, not a divider”. That guy even got two presidential terms. It seems almost quaint now that a GOP candidate would boast about actually working with the other side to govern the country.

    He couldn’t gain enough support from the party he is campaigning against or against his own, often racist, party? Shhhhhhocker.

      Everyone on that stage is running for second place Republican. Which will be third place overall.

      The whole thing is a waste of everyone’s time.

            This. Anyone watching Vivek’s rhetoric during the debates can see exactly what his goal is. He’s using the same playbook as Trump, and is the only one left on stage that hasn’t openly criticized him. He’s currently the perfect brand of crazy the GOP seems to love right now and would slot in perfectly as a VP candidate that has the best chance of becoming President behind an unhealthy geriatric presumptive nominee. God help us.

        It’s insane that people would vote for someone who is too cowardly to even answer softball questions from his own propaganda network on a stage of suck-ups.

    I appreciate that he tried to claim the gay slander was because he was black when being gay is a much bigger issue to them
