I think that's a fair ranking except Christie. No one who has gone against Trump that hard is going to get enough voter turnout to win. It's the sort of shyt where 10-20% of Trump supporters will WANT Biden to win solely to punish Christie for betraying Trump.

If you pay attention, Christie will stand there, take the heat and by the time he leaves the boo volume turns down, he starts to win a few more claps, and he comes out a little higher than he walked in. Plus, he's a blue state republican and he codes as just center-right and socially centrist. He's not that weak...and the fat jokes aren't gonna last forever. He's a slow boil and it's finally his time to take center stage.

But again this is why Mandela Barnes lost given your bias... Look, you can go too far left for the people you're asking for their vote. Barnes was running for a senate seat but acting like a House of Representatives candidate. Just too much BLM and social justice stain on him. In WISCONSIN. And he came close to winning but just couldn't seal that deal and lost to a fukking idiot in Ron Johnson.

People know @the cac mamba is wilding on a lot of shyt but he was correct on this. At some point winning has to count.


Or you're just using your confirmation bias to explain the result, and are ignoring that he didn't run a great campaign and Wisconsin is a tough state for a Black man.

John Fetterman is just as progressive as Barnes, in just as purple a state as Barnes, and voters loved him. He beat the most well-funded candidate in history despite stroking out in the middle of the fukking race. Tammy Baldwin keeps winning easily as a progressive from the same state.

Fetterman does not code as progressive as Barnes. You know this. Including the infamous shotgun vs black man event.

Would it be weird to think that Biden would have the biggest image problem campaigning against Vivek?

The man is a fukking clown, but he has tons more energy and wouldn't hold anything back. He has the best chance of making Biden look tired and old.



If you disagree, don't just say, "Biden would destroy him." Tell me who you actually think would pose more of a threat in a campaigning sense.
He’s the same as Trump. A lot of people still want adults and not have their entire days and lives filled with whatever dumbass shot the president is saying.

Biden’s speech in Maui wasn’t great, but since folks aren’t hooked on his every move it came and went and for most folks it never came at all.

Americans love cruise control , Jack! :Okayjack:

Biden ain’t on Twitter. And it shows.

I noticed even charlamagne was on the breakfast club today and said that Vivek wasn’t high on his list because “people like us want experience”. I think the troll outsider shyt has died down thanks to trump

Asa sounded most knowledgable on drug trafficking

but still name dropped Ramon Arellano Felix, who for one, was killed in 2002

and depending on what story you buy, was killed randomly by cops in Mazatlan, or by cops on Ismael Zambada's payroll

had nothing to do with US foreign policy

Christie reminds me of a Republican version of JB Pritzker.
Both have a charismatic, jolly demeanor that gives FDR vibes.

Can't fall for the grift of Christie though, I'm worried that he could potentially sway independents who are enamored with his more centrist "anti-trump' approach.

The GOP Pritzker is Burgum, who is also a billionaire

The dumbest thing Christie said was some nonsense about Hunter Biden and 10 years in prison for lying on a federal firearms verification process

that's red meat for the base, I get it but even Kodak Black's criminal multiple felony ass got three years for that

in no real world does Biden deserve or get 10 years

I read A LOT about the case, from across the board, NY Times, WSJ, Politico, and it seems like even Weiss was hesitant to file those weak ass charges about taxes and the gun form.

yeah my eyebrows raised when he said that. In no way or world was 10 anything ever happening or even suggested :dead:

if anything that was a signal to rewrite the laws to lower the penalty on that shyt overall

you are waxing poetic here, especially with that last statement

christie just wants to muck up the primary and spoil it for trump. being a blue state republican means nothing, his governor tenure in jersey was a disaster (trust me, i was a jersey resident at the time)

this is an "i told you so" play, christie wants a cushy spot as a cable news analyst/ pundit, and him being an anti-trump republican is the right lane for him... esp considering trump treated christie like dog sh1t and literally gave the guy covid

i actually like what christie is doing now and fukk with him to a degree, but he's just fodder here and a "few more claps" during the debate is cute but he will still get cooked in polls & the primary itself
