    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Your predictions don't have a very good track record, so let's just wait and see what happens in reality.

    I'll have no problem doing that.

    As to Biden, I think the pressures of actually being POTUS will wear him down - both, physically and mentally. But, yeah, of course, we'll all have to just wait and see.

    Trump is the champion of bullshit. That should not be denied. "Don't worry the virus will go away, like a miracle."

    Biden probably won't run for a 2nd term

    53% of Republicans back Donald Trump for 2024 with Mike Pence far behind in second place at 12% and even Don Jr scoring far more support than string of senators
    • Trump has not said for certain he is running in 2024 but said after acquittal in Senate trial that MAGA movement 'has only just begun'
    • His son Trump Jr. got 6 per cent support
    • Poll was taken after Trump was acquitted in Senate impeachment trial
    • Mike Pence, who presided as the Senate counted the electoral votes that made Joe Biden president gets 12 per cent support in the poll
    • Sens. Ted Cruz at 4 per cent and Josh Hawley at 1 per cent

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Since when is Hawley a viable Presidential candidate? I don't understand why people are taking him seriously just because he intends to run. His only name recognition comes from associating himself with QAnon, no actual accomplishments or legislation he's involved himself with.

    Even the QAnon lane is crowded, with at least one of the Trumps and Cruz already in it.

    Riiiiiight. Because lack of charisma makes you a reality TV icon absolutely adored by the left (until the moment you announce you're running as a Republican)...

    No one on the left ever adored him. That's a lie the right tells people to make it appear that he was fair and balanced.

    Donald Trump trashes Mitch McConnell calling him 'a dour, sullen and unsmiling political hack,' claiming he is 'destroying' GOP, is compromised on China by wife Elaine Chao and tells senators to FIRE him - after GOP leader blamed him for MAGA riot
    • Trump sends 622-word denunciation of the most senior elected Republican from his Florida home after McConnell said then-president caused the MAGA riot
    • Trump attacked McConnell in bitter personal and racially-loaded terms, saying he 'has no credibility on China' in a reference to his wife Elaine Chao
    • 'Because of his family's substantial Chinese business holdings,' Trump wrote, 'he does nothing on this tremendous economic and military threat.'
    • He called McConnell, 78, a 'dour, sullen and unsmiling political hack' and claimed he had only won his Kentucky seat after Trump campaigned for him
    • Blamed McConnell for losing the majority in the Senate by not backing $2,000 stimulus checks - after McConnell blamed him for the defeat in Georgia
    • Threatened to campaign for his own 'America First' candidates in primaries if they are not backed by Republican establishment - which could include his daughter-in-law Lara Trump
    • The statement was toned down after aides intervened and originally Trump wanted to say McConnell had 'too many chins and not enough smarts'
    • Trump's intervention turns the Republican party's internal conflicts over impeachment vote into bitter civil war between its most high-profile figures
    [​IMG]

    'THIRD RATE AND COMPROMISED': READ TRUMP'S BITTER PERSONAL ATTACK ON MCCONNELL
    The Republican Party can never again be respected or strong with political 'leaders' like Sen. Mitch McConnell at its helm. McConnell's dedication to business as usual, status quo policies, together with his lack of political insight, wisdom, skill, and personality, has rapidly driven him from Majority Leader to Minority Leader, and it will only get worse. The Democrats and Chuck Schumer play McConnell like a fiddle - they've never had it so good -and they want to keep it that way! We know our America First agenda is a winner, not McConnell's Beltway First agenda or Biden's America Last.

    In 2020, I received the most votes of any sitting President in history, almost 75,000,000. Every incumbent House Republican won for the first time in decades, and we flipped 15 seats, almost costing Nancy Pelosi her job. Republicans won majorities in at least 59 of the 98 partisan legislative chambers, and the Democrats failed to flip a single legislative chamber from red to blue. And in 'Mitch's Senate,' over the last two election cycles, I single-handedly saved at least 12 Senate seats, more than eight in the 2020 cycle alone—and then came the Georgia disaster, where we should have won both U.S. Senate seats, but McConnell matched the Democrat offer of $2,000 stimulus checks with $600. How does that work? It became the Democrats' principal advertisement, and a big winner for them it was. McConnell then put himself, one of the most unpopular politicians in the United States, into the advertisements. Many Republicans in Georgia voted Democrat, or just didn't vote, because of their anguish at their inept Governor, Brian Kemp, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and the Republican Party, for not doing its job on Election Integrity during the 2020 Presidential race.

    It was a complete election disaster in Georgia, and certain other swing states. McConnell did nothing, and will never do what needs to be done in order to secure a fair and just electoral system into the future. He doesn't have what it takes, never did, and never will.

    My only regret is that McConnell 'begged' for my strong support and endorsement before the great people of Kentucky in the 2020 election, and I gave it to him. He went from one point down to 20 points up, and won. How quickly he forgets. Without my endorsement, McConnell would have lost, and lost badly. Now, his numbers are lower than ever before, he is destroying the Republican side of the Senate, and in so doing, seriously hurting our Country.

    Likewise, McConnell has no credibility on China because of his family's substantial Chinese business holdings. He does nothing on this tremendous economic and military threat.

    Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack, and if Republican Senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again. He will never do what needs to be done, or what is right for our Country. Where necessary and appropriate, I will back primary rivals who espouse Making America Great Again and our policy of America First. We want brilliant, strong, thoughtful, and compassionate leadership.

    Prior to the pandemic, we produced the greatest economy and jobs numbers in the history of our Country, and likewise, our economic recovery after Covid was the best in the world. We cut taxes and regulations, rebuilt our military, took care of our Vets, became energy independent, built the wall and stopped the massive inflow of illegals into our Country, and so much more. And now, illegals are pouring in, pipelines are being stopped, taxes will be going up, and we will no longer be energy independent.

    This is a big moment for our country, and we cannot let it pass by using third rate 'leaders' to dictate our future!

    I can't believe Obama made Chao Secretary of Transportation.

    Haley criticized Trump. She won't get nomination.

    Hilarious part is McConnell is a dour sullen unsmiling political have.
