Please offer your defense of Abbott, Paxton, Cruz et al. I don't--they come from a long line of gladhanders and hucksters that take advantage of a political imbalance which renders the state Democratic party inert, a flip from the decades where no Republican could be elected statewide. Unfortunately, without term limits, state government tends to ossify: there have been only two governors in TX in 24 years and not a single Democrat can challenge effectively because they lack statewide experience and name recognition. Running for governor as a county sheriff or as a congressman from El Paso isn't going to cut it--a candidate winning from El Paso is as likely as a candidate for Maryland governor winning from Cumberland. You get the government you deserve. That's how we ended up with the grifter-in-chief. Here in Delaware it is unlikely a Governor from LSD (lower, slower Delaware, i.e., Sussex County) will be elected Governor. Out of the three counties in Delaware, we are the only Republican county. Fifteen years ago, the County Council was 3-2 GOP and is now 5-0 GOP. It may be becoming more Democratic as more college-educated retirees moving here (like me) and there is a direct correlation between education level and party registration with the more educated you are, the likelier it is you are a registered Democrat. Also, when I bought my house here in 2007, I was the only nonwhite resident out of 600 fulltime property owners. And I bought from the only Latino family!

Joe spared prosecution by virtue of his doddering incompetence. Too feeble to face charges. Priceless.

Where is Ann Richards when we need her (besides deceased)?

Diminished Biden v. Sociopath Grifter and his enablers - a binary choice. Many have argued that one result of Donald Trump’s narcissism and the behaviors following from it is that his presidency has been rocky (for journalistic chronicles of the Trump presidency, see [26–28]; for more candid critiques from within the Republican Party see [25, 29]). For example, Trump and those in his administration have been embroiled in legal disputes since the beginning of his term (which contributed to an unusually high degree of staff turnover), many of his domestic and international policies were unsuccessful, and due to his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, over 400,000 Americans died of the virus over the course of his presidency [26–28, 30]. Consequently, Trump’s approval rating in the U.S. never approached 50% and he was impeached by Congress approximately mid-way through his term and again at the end of his term [31]. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8049239/The psychologists who offered their opinions in 2017 have been proven prescient. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/moral-landscapes/202008/the-psychology-donald-trump

Let’s stipulate that the all Republicans are soulless scumbags. Aren’t the other guys better? Why this diminished, doddering shell of a man? Can’t the good guys do better?

Fact is Biden has gotten actual bipartisan legislation passed that seeks to do better for the country, regardless of whether you disagree with it. The grifter and his sycophantic enablers do not have the interest of America paramount Yes, they are soulless scumbags and the HoyaTalk "Republicans" must feel like fools having bought the grift for a decade. Look at the 2016 Election thread. They bought the grift when many of us at the time saw through it. They couldn't and you see the damage "Republicans" have wrought upon American democracy with their help.

If these two guys weren’t candidates for president, one would already be in jail and the other already in an assisted living facility.

Lets face it as soon as he will be heading for jail the "one" will claim mental incompetence and be in a mental assisted living facility(Mar-A-Lago house arrest.)

His narcissistic personality disorder and sociopathy will not allow him to plead mental incompetence and his whorish shysters will accede to their client's directions since they are getting paid from his PACs.

If these two guys weren’t candidates for president, one would already be in jail and the other already in an assisted living facility. You’re making it seem as though this response is completely unrelated. It’s not unreasonable to point out that Trump is struggling with the same exact problems that Biden is, and many of those problems to a much greater degree. Why wouldn’t that be remarked upon given that they are both running for president? If it’s a knock against one, it’s a knock against the other. I don’t think anyone here is denying that Biden is struggling mentally, but I don’t think I’ve seen a single acknowledgment by a Republican here (if so, it’s been extremely limited given the number of gaffes he’s had recently) that Trump is also severely cognitively compromised.

Sadly, Biden might be the best because he is not actually running anything. If you tell me who really is, I might be able to answer better. Hillary is awful but not stupid. Kamala began her career under Willie Brown and should have stayed there.

And setting aside mental acuity, the grifter is clearly a sociopath. I'd love to hear a reasoned contrary argument but I don't think one exists. Biden may have all the negative attributes of the career politician that he is but he is not a sociopath.
