taking the high road is never a sign of weakness except maybe in the minds of some republicans these days. It's a sign of strength, integrity and honesty. That's always been my view. ;)

My first pick would not be Harris. She often comes off as snarky - arrogant Well, being up against the mostly rude and arrogant GOP types, being snarky+arrogant may come in handy. Being "nice" is not an option. I liked when President Biden told Trump to shut up on live TV! The only thing I would have liked for Biden to say
differently would have been: "shut your big fat F-n mouth, A$$h*le." But then again...there's Obama. I believe Obama would handle Trump with a subtle zinger, make people laugh at Trump being brunt of the joke, and never be snarky or arrogant - no need to stoop to Trump's level. What Biden said didn't depict his attitude. It depicted his anger in the moment over a perpetual loudmouth who wouldn't shut up. Outside of moments like that, Biden is relaxed and easy going. I don't know if Harris is snarky or arrogant. That's just my perception of her when I've seen her speak. She might be very "real," but I don't see it.

Yea, Obama would take Trump apart piece by piece, with flair, with a smile and confidence. Speaking of debates, I shall be watching the Gov. Newsom vs DeSantis debate, unless DeSantis finds a way to wiggle out of it. Gov. Newsom will annihilate DeSantis and his un-American fascist position.

I wasn't aware of this debate. Sounds like fun. Where will you watch it?

I wasn't aware of this debate. Sounds like fun. Where will you watch it? On his favorite show, Fox news with Hannity being the sole moderator for 90 minutes with no in studio audience and would air live. Proposed debate dates of Nov. 8 or Nov. 10, is what Newsom is asking Fox for.

I know Gov. Newsom is confident, and that he wants to take the debate right up in the faces of the FOX
fans, but the thing is: FOX followers aren't going to listen to clear headed logic and reasoning, they are too hooked on the mind bending emotional Koolaid they're been lapping up from the rightwing media. I'm going to shoot Gavin a message about this...

I feel sorry for real foxes, the animal. Their name is tainted now. Lol.
Perhaps FOX could change their name to FAUX. That fits them better. IMHO. ;)

Did you watch their debate? If so, what did you think? I can't stand listening to DeSantis. He such loud mouth. Told my husband, if you would put freckles on his face, he'd look just like Howdy Doody when he smiles. I didn't watch their debate but did read on line that Newson did great.

Did you watch their debate? I didn't, I can't bring myself to tune in FOX filth on my smart TV. I did read about the debate on CNN and CNBC. LOL at Hannity's "potted plant" reference to himself. And, Gov. Newsom telling Desantos “Neither of us will be the nominee for our party in 2024".

Caught clips of the DeSantis/Newsome debate. Everything I am seeing...and hearing...it wasn't even a fair fight. Newsome wiped the floor with DeSantis just as all expected. DeSantis was an imbecile for even agreeing...or asking for... a chance to debate Newsome. Would have been like a high school bully climbing in the ring with Mohammad Ali!! DeSantis probably thought it would help his run for the presidency. In all probability, ended his run. After the debate, I believe Haley will end up being the GOP nominee. Still don't think tRump will last in the race until November '24. Whether the court system. health issues, etc. he's living on a razor's edge. Oh, Drifter, I have always though DeSantis was a spittin' image of the Mad Magazine cover guy!!

Why would anyone want to vote for Newsom or move to California after seeing the stats on California?
