As you Einsteins occasionally need to be reminded to do (and apparently never do), look up the word "relative." And study it really hard. And it still won't matter.
Of course, as some have suggested, a much smarter Trump Lite like Desantis COULD end up being more dangerous.
Anyway, you guys COULD pick Asa or Christie, or even Pence (or literally thousands of other R politicians who would get you roughly the same policies and the same judges).....but you WANT Trump. Simply disgraceful.
Spoiler alert for you: If Asa, Pence, or Christie ever got the Republican nomination, the mainstream media would turn on a dime and pretend THEY are a dangerous threat to the country.
The media you read is only friendly to them because they're losers. They aren't a threat. So they convince you they're good.
Remember how the evil racist mysoginist Mitt Romney was gonna "put y'all back in chains"?
Then he lost so now they tell you he's good. And loser Republicans = good Republicans.
you really don't understand relativity and the idea of a spectrum.
on a 1 = George Washington and 10 = Benedict Arnold, Trump is around a 9.
DeSantis is a 7. No, Dems will not like the guy who wants to spend all day fighting culture wars against Dems. But Trump literally tried to overturn the Republic and advocated for terminating the Constitution. Trump is much much worse.
Mitt was a 5 when a candidate because he was a degenerate liar, but he has moved toward 3 status as a lonely right-wing defender of the republic.
Why can't you understand that Trump is a unique hazard to the USA? This is not hard!
Terminate the Constitution, he wants. Pence tells us he wanted to stop the election.

NYT: It bears repeating that Trump’s advisers are blunt privately that their goal is for Trump to win the election in part so that the cases can be disappeared by the Trump Justice Department.

If they rank so low, what would you rank Biden on your scale?

3/10 I suppose. Basically honest, down the middle, scandal-free, hired great people, managed the post-pandemic period, the ukraine crisis, etc. This presidency will be thought of a as a return to normalcy after the trump insanity. He and the congress had a historically good run in passing big, tough legislation. He left the Fed alone as the Fed tried to start a Biden-admin ending recession. Never said a peep, to Joe's credit. THe economy is doing well.
But he has lost a step, is a bad communicator, tells some light fibs, hasn't elevated a veep to take over, etc. Not a great leader of the public, but a solid head of state in terms of inter relations, congress, hiring good people, etc.

Vivek Ramaswamy cast doubt on the veracity of the government’s explanation of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, saying he didn’t believe the findings of the 9/11 Commission. In an interview Tuesday night on the conservative Blaze TV, host Alex Stein asked the Republican presidential candidate if he believes 9/11 was an “inside job” or “exactly like the government tells us.” “I don’t believe the government has told us the truth,” Ramaswamy said. “I’m driven by evidence and data. What I’ve seen in the last several years is we have to be skeptical of what the government does tell us. “I haven’t seen evidence to the contrary, but do I believe everything the government told us about it? Absolutely not. Do I believe the 9/11 Commission? Absolutely not.”

Opinion piece so caveat emptor from 2012 but it is accurate in saying Mitt was a shameless, degenerate liar who helped soften America to the idea that candidates could make big lies without shame. Walked us up to trumpian lying. I hope he knows what he did.
"Granted, presidential candidates are no strangers to disingenuous or overstated claims; it's pretty much endemic to the business. But Romney is doing something very different and far more pernicious. Quite simply, the United States has never been witness to a presidential candidate, in modern American history, who lies as frequently, as flagrantly and as brazenly as Mitt Romney."
from 'Mitt's Mendacity," a preview of the WaPo Trump catalog of lies:
"Little did I know at the time that Romney would become an ambitious prevaricator, whose rhetoric would come to define post-truth politics. Nearly 11 months after Greg Sargent's harmless suggestion, I've published 40 installments in this series, which, before today, featured 884 falsehoods. (If you include today's edition, the new total is 917 falsehoods for the year.)"

And this works. 70% of Rs still think Biden's win was illegitimate, despite there being zero proof of that. When the GOP spreads lies, the base believes them all. It's so bad that I often hear Rs saying you just can't trust anything anymore. They are 100% gullible. In light of this, I think Trump's defense will be to maintain that he won. The problem for him of course is that there is conclusive proof he knew he lost. Of course, even if he were to manage to make the jury believe that, it still doesn't wipe away the actual crimes committed, which came with plans and intent. But again, fkn scary that the R base is willing to accept any lie that is fed to them, and that the GOP continues to promote aggression and violence.
The unqualified trump-appointed judge who will rule over the trump documents case does not know how to be a judge. We're so f'd. Rs put people into office without qualifications because they are nice to DJT.
WASHINGTON, Aug 4 (Reuters) - The judge in former U.S. President Donald Trump's upcoming trial over his handling of classified documents made two key errors in a June trial, one of which violated a fundamental constitutional right of the defendant and could have invalidated the proceedings, according to legal experts and a court transcript. Florida-based U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon closed jury selection for the trial of an Alabama man - accused by federal prosecutors of running a website with images of child sex abuse - to the defendant's family and the general public, a trial transcript obtained by Reuters showed. A defendant's right to a public trial is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution's Sixth Amendment.
This IS The Democrat party today. No respect for law. No respect for authority. No respect for anything but just taking stuff for themselves. This is the party that Agip is so proud of.
Masses manipulated by Lib Commies as the country devolves into chaos, lawlessness, and degenerate behavior. Normal people, law abiding people shoved go the side. They’re coming for what you have.

Biden is a zillion times worse than anything mentioned here.
I mean I'm sure Mitt stretched the truth the way any campaign does. But he doesn't go around lying about his academic record, claiming his son died in Iraq, plagiarizing speeches, lying about trips he took on the job, inventing bizarre facts about American history. To say Romney is a "degenerate liar" while Biden only told "light fibs" is hackery even by MSNBC standards.

Of course Marists will always claim the same. Pretty obvious what is going on, country devolving into chaos. Woke lib commies. Coming for what you have.
