    His ilk has been BODIED in every election against the softest most mild candidates. He’s got no shot bro.

    The hype for him has really died off and most of the sorta Trumpers moved away. He’s done and the Republicans are too. They will rebrand the next few elections and try to find a new strategy to continue. Lindsey Graham knew what he was talking about when he said his infamous quote

      He’s currently the leading R candidate. Barring a miracle, he’ll get nominated. Any sort of complacency by the electorate will lead to him getting in again.

      Polls say he’s neck and neck with Biden right now. I didn’t think he had a shot in 16, then he won. It’s way too early to call this. Fight until the last minute.

        Polls by whom, asking who, with what methodology? If it’s cold-calling people to ask them who they will vote for you can bet that nobody under 60 is answering.

          I hope you’re right. It was damn near 50/50 in 2020 though, I see no reason to expect different now. The people turned off by trumps legal issues already weren’t voting for him.

      The very same Lindsey Graham that was flat on his flaccid yellow belly, licking as much maga boot as he could fit into his purty little mouth?
