Not to mention Nancy admitted it was her fault on video.

It's like how I view the Coleman pick. What's done and done and now just hope for the best. Huh? Trump can't run again. Why would Vance bash him behind the scenes when Vance will need him to campaign for him in 2028?

I agree. It's meaningless in the face of what's truly important: help. And it appears Trump did what you said you would want done. Like you said, it doesn't matter what he does in BT's eyes, it will still be wrong.

If you want to play that game, you can't prove that Trump didn't reach out to the family after that article was published. Does that count as "reaching out to them"?

Well they said he hasn't within the first 48 hours. That doesn't mean he won't ever. I would say if we don't hear within the next week or so, he won't.

No, I backed it up. There is zero proof he contacted them.

I wasn't talking about Biden calling the widow. Laken Riley's parents. And yes, I think he'll do something for them eventually.

"Ok, fine, he contacted them, but it was so garish and tacky..."

No, he didn't. The reason people don't like "whataboutism" is because it points out their hypocrisy and they can't handle it. But here's your chance to prove me wrong. If you can find me proof that he called Riley's family, much less within 48 hours of her death, I'll admit I was wrong.

Biden didn't call them. If you have proof he did, please share. Failing that, there is no proof he called them. And why would he have? It was politically inconvenient for him to put a spotlight on it. Yes they haven't heard from Trump...yet. Do you think they/someone will issue a press release if/when he does?

So the same could be true for Trump?

No, I did a search and there was nothing to say he called the family. Therefore he didn't call them. Maybe it was like this in that he hadn't called them within the first few days and then nobody ever bothered to follow up. In any case, bad optics happen to them all. I got a flowchart for the libs here. Want to see it?

I did the same search as what you suggested. Nothing about Biden calling them. Like I said...

Is anyone criticizing it?

I'm sure that's completely coincidental...

I did a search and could find nothing about him having called them. Do you know that Trump hasn't reached-out to the man's family? Or that he won't do something in the future?

I don't believe he did. Was that bad optics?

Did Biden call Laken Riley's parents?

Eight feet? He missed by a couple inches.

That will cross-out being a white male Catholic...

True, they can be. But you can't fake a top-30 visit. And IIRC, every top Bills draft pick came from a top-30 visit.

Again I'll point to the video of Brandon being excited when Coleman ran a slower-than-expect 40 at the Combine. He was also a top-30 visit (as was Worthy, who they let go to the Chefs). And I've heard many times people saying "they could have traded down and gotten him anyway." I guess all that's left to do is see how it all plays out. If Coleman becomes a stud, it won't matter where he was picked.

When the difference between the 1st and 2nd round is 1 pick, yeah it doesn't matter at all.

It doesn't matter who it is. As I keep saying, look at what they did to milquetoast Romney. Their playbook is set.

They really do live in some alternate reality.
