I agree with except your assertion that Rogan and Gabbard can’t be accused of being knuckle draggers.

Libs call Rogan a right winger because he doesn’t parrot all of the party line BS.

The call Gabbard “nutty as hell” and when you ask them what she says/supports that is “nutty” the get kinda quiet. But then they will repeat that she is a “wack job”.

Thos killing off of all their mavericks leaves us with garbage like Biden and Harris.

I guess the Democrats prefer Trump winning in 2024, instead of running candidates like RFK or Gabbard.

I can’t wrap my head around it.

I meant Knuckle Dragging R's.

Joe considers himself a Liberal. Tulsi, seems to me a Libertarian for the most part.

SKB, When the Republicans run Moderates, we lose. McCain, Romney were both pretty moderate and both didn't fare well.

You lost the last few go arounds running Trumpers.

Neither 2020 or 2022 was a good look for the GOP.

Red Wave? Not so much.

The GOP has lost the political middle with Trumpism.

Completely agree. I have gotten into heated debates with many Republican voters who are solid Trump.

My argument has always been, Trump needs to shut up, and politic to the more moderate R's and independents. He already has his base, but can't seem to understand he needs a broader coalition to win.

I've even considered, "what if he is a Trojan horse"? He'd be the perfect one. Win primaries and lose generals.

In Arizona's last Senate race, Doug Ducey, our Governor was termed out. He was making noise about a Senatorial run against Mark Kelly.

Ducey was poling ahead of Kelly,and ONLY Ducey was doing so. Trump hated Ducey because he didn't follow Trumps Covid strategy to a T.

Ducey decided to not primary. Instead, Blake Masters, a political nobody ran and won in the primary because he had Trumps support. He lost big time in the general.

Same exact scenario in the Governors race, Lake was a Trump endorsed candidate. Katie Hobbs beat her. Katie Hobbs was probably the worst candidate ever to run.

So, yeah, I get it and agree.

God, I can't stand it anymore!

Am I the only red-blooded male here? Am I the only one who gets shivers down to his toes every time Ann says, "BAWK"?

Just thinking about it makes my toes curl up in my shoes.

You are the only one to mention it… So, yeah, it’s probably just you.

So, you are so triggered by reading the word “BAWK” in Ann’s posts that you have a physical reaction? And that reaction is so troubling that you have to revive a thread, a thread that you had not even commented on, ask if anyone else is similarly affected?

Could it be that the reason the word “BAWK” is triggering you is that past experience has taught you that Ann posting “BAWK” signals to your brain that you are about to read something that is going to upset you because it undermines your world view and leaves you unable to refute this uncomfortable truth?

A classic pavlovian response, no?

Except most of Ann's posts are easily refuted with a simple google search......

LOL, y'all are hysterical.

I spent way to much time (like a few seconds) trying to figure out how the word bawk creates any reaction...?
