Tulsi and Manchin

[Jolly]

Mutterings that both are considering a POTUS run.

They'll get smashed as DINOs.

@Mik said in Tulsi and Manchin:

Perhaps.

Notice that Gabbard has been around, a lot, in the last few months.

Also, this ticket might have a Perot effect on 2024.

[Mik]

It may well. On the other hand, I could possibly get behind Manchin, as opposed to Trump-Biden.

I think what Nikki Haley said the other day holds true - we just cannot continue all this drama.

[Jolly]

I think the drama level would be markedly lower if we just moved many of the alphabet agencies out of the D.C. area.

In that matter, I think Trump was right. If anything, COVID confirmed it. The Department of Energy needs to be in Oklahoma or Texas. Interior needs to be in Colorado or an adjacent state. Commerce should probably be in New York. Ag needs to be in the Midwest. Veteran's Affairs needs to be in Florida or somewhere in the MidSouth. Homeland Security and Education need to be dumped in the Potomac.

[Mik]

Not sure how that would help. I don’t see those agencies contributing to the drama. It’s all the White House, Congress and DOJ.

[LuFins Dad]

A Manchin/Gabbard run would likely hurt Donald more than Joe.

[Jolly]

Maybe.

I think Trump has somewhere around 40%, locked down. Split a race three ways and it gets interesting.
