He's running such a dumb campaign. If I was in his shoes my campaign would be:

I'm well educated and equipped to run this country

I have a military service record to be proud of

My state that I oversee is an economic juggernaut and we have a large budget surplus.

Lather, rinse repeat

You can't run on policy and conservative policy credentials and take the GOP nomination away from Trump. The MAGA base is obsessed with having a candidate to poke a stick in the eye of the inevitable future caused by demographics. So if you can tackle some freaky social stuff that makes the base thrust up a fist and go "Yeah, score for the good guys!" that's success.

Conservative policies are now completely irrelevant as its a party based on hate and fear.

Funny you call the parents morons, which they may be, but the moron to me is the principal that clearly didn't follow protocol of "notifying parents before showing something that could be controversial". You or anyone else for that matter, wouldn't be around long if they didn't follow their employers protocol either.

Is that where Trump got on TV for a national speech to denounce the opposition and constantly attack MAGA?

Is that where MAGA says the world will end in 12 years?

Frankly, your mindset is as much or more a problem as Trump

So a sculpture of a naked man ( an art piece) is acceptable but a picture of a naked man in a magazine isn't??? Both are considered art...so what's the difference?? Is it time, cuz I'm sure I can find some vintage pics at least 50+ years old?? Bottom line there is an age and limits to what kids should be exposed to, unless your into that stuff I guess

It’s a good balance for when leftists want to quote Jesus without any understanding of the scripture they’re talking about.

So just to make sure what you're saying, there aren't Christian liberals? Or are you saying that they don't understand Christianity?

Millions of Episcopalians and Methodists will be stunned. Especially Episcopalians since the Brits were Anglican dominated when they wrote the King James version.

You’re making the mistake of confusing leftists with liberals. I specifically used that term. Episcopalians and Methodist can rest easy.
Somewhat.

I'm a DeSantis fan...I'm was disappointed when he retracted his stance on Ukraine and our supporting that war. Otherwise he has been pretty solid...

That’s an honest disagreement; Ukraine is an unknown gambit, and DeSantis is right to question it. What is the real strategy in Ukraine, that is, what does a realistic end to this war look like? Asking that isn’t not supporting Ukraine or not condemning Russia. Our track record since WW2 has been one of not meeting stated goals and leaving broken regions in our wake.
it’s not outlandish to note this futility and ask what’s different this time?

Why is the onus not on Europe? We can’t keep Russian and China influence from our own geo political sphere of influence, but we should be in Europe?

I agree with you...his original position was he wasn't in support of our involvement there...then he got backlash and changed to supporting the war..

Come on, the only museum featuring the works of Playboy would be the Playboy Museum, whereas any museum in the world would kill to get their hands on the statue of David.

There’s art and then there’s art.

I agree I think that it absurd to a degree hence why I asked that age...are we talking 12 and below. Or teens etc...it makes a difference.

I miss the days when a boring platform like that was enough to win any party’s nomination.

Those days are over.

I mean, you can’t take credit for praying away one natural disaster and not another.

That’s situational spirituality.

I get it, I just look at it like someone saying they prayed for their spouse/kid/parent/whatever to get through an illness and believing it worked. Just sounds like a petty thing to hit the guy with when he's given everyone mountains of legitimate issues to hit him with.

I'm seeing his comments regarding it not being a vital interest in March, but see no reports of him now supporting our involvement.
He was for sending arms to Ukraine in 2015, but we're going on eight years now.
