Particularly when I keep reminding them that she'll become president when the old fart kicks, which going by his rapid decline, he almost certainly will.
Trump is the pinnacle of health, he'll still be alive and well in forty years.
*farty
I love that you can replace many of the words in the sentence and it still tracks. (Not quite all, there are a few that don't work)
The preservatives and bacteria in all the McDonald’s burgers keep his corpse fresh and animated.
As far as Trump’s base is concerned, that’s the worst thing you could be.
If they actually stood by anything they said it would be. They'll all march in lockstep as soon as someone tells them to.
She's also a Hindu!
Disclaimer: I don't actually know or care, but I can guess the rumors will fly.
Her parents were/are Sikh (big difference) but she has been christian for a long time.
Republicans don’t actually know this. I used her dead name to them and they had no idea who it was.
Given that the Hindu population of India is actively trying to assassinate peaceful Sikh leaders worldwide and oppress the Sikh people, you should care.
This very article has already been updated to say the story is not true.
Imagine applying for the role of mob victim in January 2028 when Trump incites his followers at the National Mall to go secure him a third term.
The cunt will suck his asshole live on tv.
Would be amazing if she turned him down on national tv lol
She's coming back to the fold, and he's going to choose her as VP.
Just because Trump‘s team is considering her, does not mean she is considering him. She already said she wouldn’t give him an endorsement, I doubt she would run with him.
What we know is she's having a big confab with her donors. Why? She may be telling them she's going to endorse.
Or she’s telling them she is running independent.
But, it would be on brand for a Republican to flip and then say they never did
Both true
At this point I wonder who she'd hurt more as independent.
The left for sure
I guess it doesn’t matter now that Trump said no, but if she ran in the primary (or was registered as a candidate) she may have been required to sign a “no spoilers” agreement to not run as a third party. I don’t think all states have it, but I know that at least some do.
I don't see his supporters liking that choice.
That's moot. His supporters aren't going to switch their vote to Biden over this.
What this may do, however, is prevent some moderate Republicans from switching their vote to Biden.
This is a smart move. Smart enough that I doubt the Clown Prince of Diapers came up with it himself.
