Seaports most likely because forts wouldn't really make sense either, but then again I suppose that is just as likely given the speaker :dunno:

Right -- they won't because Republicans are satisfied with Trump. Which is what I was saying about it being circular.

Nah, what I'm saying is, I believe the Dems will somehow splinter themselves between left and "lefter". Quasi-Socialism still has its draw. Gonna be fun to watch.

Well, there are multiple ways to 'splinter'. A bitter primary fight? Sure, could and probably will happen. Usually does. Someone who loses the primary and decides to run as a third party candidate? I think that's unlikely, but possible. Bernie could do it, Yang could do it, they aren't party regulars. I don't see a lot of others. Williamson, I suppose, but who would care?

Not realistically. Not a soul comes to mind.

He’s by far the most competent and most effective at fulfilling the duties and responsibilities of the office since Ike.

With Trump leading America we have turned the tide on nearly 6 decades of civil oppression and political corruption at home and theft and backstabbing from false allies abroad.

Fake post.

There’s nothing circular about voting for the incumbent who has already proven to be a phenomenal leader, established major civil rights advances, lifted record numbers of minorities out of poverty, crushed ISIS, cut taxes for the middle class and eliminated them altogether for the poor. And he did it with both parties of Congress opposing him all the way. He’s world record level, and he’s got no credible opposition from either party.

It’s simply the only rational choice.

OK, I see that.

IMO, Trump was nominated because he was the clearest D.C. "outsider". He displayed a lot of ("Drain the swamp!", etc.) rhetoric that the "we're sick-and-tired-of -the way-things-are" Republican masses bought in to. That said, I do believe he loves this country and, in his own way, is keeping consistent with conservative principles.

Howard Shultz is waiting in the weeds to jump in the race, but he first wants to see Joe crash and burn, which it appears could happen. Its way to freaking early to jump in anyway as an Independent.

Schultz strategy to appeal to the centrist/moderates could make him a factor. He also has some business smarts and could keep the economy humming, which I don't hear anyone talking about now.

I think it's high time to start thinking about what monuments to erect to Trump. Space Force should be named Trump Force, of course. Change the Internet to the Trumpnet? Should we make him the 5th president on Mt Rushmore? Or is that insulting? Maybe remove the other 4? Or maybe just rename the country - The Trump States of America, or the United States of Trump?

What do you think, Maris?

I think Schultz already crashed and burned himself. Turns out he doesn't have appeal. He can be a spoiler, and he may decide to be. But he won't beat the Libertarian or Green party candidates, I predict.

Have you been eating the shrooms in the forest again. So you like people who lie, bullying people with childish name calling, obsessing over dictators while shunning our allies and abusing the constitution?

Going to be an interesting next 16 months.

But I would rather talk about a deck hand from Panama to Florida. Perhaps a test run in August to, say Port Angeles?

PM me. My current job obligations are finished in August and I can't think of anything more substantial.

That would be if we lived in fantasy land and that were the case. However, it's not the case and so the whole assertion goes down the toilet. This will all come to fruition in late 2020. I can't wait to see Trump's face.

Really...? Theres like 330M people in this country and it was a travesty that Trump and Hillary were the last two standing last time.

I know you guys hate when I say, “both sides”, but I 100% believe both sides had and have better options, many times they dont get out because of money and the politics of keeping the same old reds and blues in power, but to say theres no better alternative...?

Really we should be saying it’s gonna be awfully hard to do worse.

For the record: When I say, "at this point in time", (and, effectively, understanding your point) I'm referring to the current candidates from "both" sides that are legitimately in the race.

So you aren't so much saying that you love Trump, more that you'd never vote for a Democrat no matter what.

From what I've seen, that would be a correct statement.

(courtesy of PtldPlatypus' post (http://www.sportstwo.com/threads/pelosi-vs-the-squad.346645/)

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...losi-isolates-them/ar-AAE962s?ocid=spartandhp

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi admonished Democrats for personally attacking one another, warning in a closed-door meeting Wednesday that the party’s fracturing was jeopardizing its majority.

Without naming names, her target was clear: the four liberal freshmen known as “the Squad.”

“You got a complaint? You come and talk to me about it. But do not tweet about our members and expect us to think that that is just okay,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) told Democrats.

But “the Squad” — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) and Ayanna Pressley (Mass.) — is convinced it is Pelosi who is being the bully.

As many here have pointed out, this is gonna be an incredibly interesting race.....on all fronts.
