So now we can add “directly capturing a sovereign leader” to the list of crap the US has done. So what do you think will actually be “the straw that broke the camels back” for world leaders to actually do something? Think it’ll be significant or something mundane?

    I was surprised he won! Unusual, bigger spender wins as a rule of thumb (90%).

    I wonder why they allowed him to win… the old switcheroo? stab in the back, “I had a stroke and now I am a fundamentalist Christian?” We will see.

      He ran a type of campaign that his opponents didn’t understand how to counter. Also, he openly collaborated with the same kinds of people that his opponents tried to polarized against him (like calling him dangerous for jews while he’s publicly collaborating with Brad Lander, also Jewish). The attacks simply weren’t credible.

        The counter is always the same. “Get independent voters”. That’s ALWAYS the counter. You CANNOT WIN without it, you don’t have enough members in your party.

        What’s easier for Democrats to get, I votes or R votes? I’ll wait.

        Because they pursued the R vote. That they won’t get.

            My argument is typed out clearly, what a bizarre question. You responded to it and everything. If you don’t know by now, I can’t make it any clearer for you.

            DNC has something to do with every Democratic office holder and candidate. Don’t be silly.
