And if the shitty candidate Walker survives the smears and attacks and beats the wife beater then the case is fucking closed

Other than wanting a GOP seat in the Senate idgaf who wins. That said, the video Walker's kid put out regarding his parental skills was brutal. Fucking brutal.

That's why you never invest personally in any candidate

We definitely agree on this

Should vote based on policy issues and competence. That excludes every dem politician.

I agree that directionally one should always evaluate candidates based on their policy and some level of baseline competence. What candidate that falls under for a given person is up to their value system.

A good example to me with Dems is tied to their view for energy ...

I'm all for the idea of evaluating cleaner energy sources and whatnot ... but what I am against is putting an artificial timeline on those ideas that could lead to an outcome where it's "ready or not" with the technology, application, etc.

Solutions to most things aren't linear and require more of a comprehensive solution than most care to admit

JFK said we could go to the moon by the end of the decade. But we already had rocket technology. We just needed a bigger rocket. We built a nuclear bomb in less than four years with the Manhattan project. But it was basically refining enough Uranium 235 to create a critical mass driven together with conventional explosives. We are basically at the physical limitations with wind turbines and getting close with solar panels. All the easy fixes have been made. Battery technology will improve, but it still is massively expensive and the energy density of a battery is almost negligible compared to gasoline. Energy density is a 100 times greater in gasoline than a lithium battery. So a gallon of gas weighs 6 lbs. To get the same amount of energy out of a battery, you need a 600 lbs battery. Offsetting this disparity is that an ICE is 20% to 30% efficient versus up to 90% efficient for EV battery. From a performance standard, EVs won't be financially competitive or have the necessary range for a lot of consumers. As Tequila says there is no timeline for this to happen. Certainly not by 2030 or 2035. Like I said, dems have shitty policies and are incompetent.

This was a fun thread.

Trump had his chance. Couldn't do it. Loser! Sad!

I have an unarticulated hunch that Democrats will win presidency in 2024. GOP will flail about with more vengeance than accountability for the next 18 months. For example, they'll haul in Fauci and browbeat for fundraising and political scalp hunting, but won't have the goods squared away to do anything of substance.

I could not disagree with you more. I hold your intelligence in high regard so this belief of yours completely baffles me.

Thank you, and hurtful...?

The establishment GOP would be happy with this playbook. In that I don't disagree.

Too many people that aren't happy with the establishment and too many people moving into the big tent of America First imo. Center right populism is continuing to grow not shrink regardless of your opinion of Trump himself as a figure of it. He's simply the supply, the demand is there and growing.

We shall see how competent these new folks are. My expectations are low.
