And Bernie is at 14%? Ummm yeah. Is this the beginning of the unlikeable Harris moving up? (She was who I thought was the "chosen one" since the start of this circus.) What the pollster has done is to post a mirage. This is only showing who is going to come out of the gate fast. Take Harris for example: California is now an early state and it's Harris's home state. It has a ton of delegates and will skew the early results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That coupled with a moral compass, strong beliefs and a work ethic can take a person a long ways. A wise leader doesn't have to be a former military person to lead the military or have any other specific skills to lead different kinds of leaders. Common sense and good advisers are sufficient. Your dislike for Trump appears irrational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) I know, it's Breitbart (which I don't like posting) But it's really the WaPo being quoted/used as a source. Joe's got no chance when this thing blows wide. He, and everyone in 44's orbit during his administration, will be radioactive. The same fate awaits those in the Senate and Congress running for POTUS or re-election who spent the past three years pushing a now debunked conspiracy theory like Harris, Swalwell, Warren.
