    I think most people realize VP is pretty useless - only loser republicans think the VP needs to be a moderate. Al Gore, Joe Lieberman, John Edwards, Tim Kaine, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris - Dems just keep getting further left. Republicans need to focus on issues and stop pandering to imaginary...

    Everyone hates politicians but then claim normies "come from nowhere", "can't be trusted" and "have no track record" - same BS was put against Trump now thrown at Vivek. Why is the career politician "track record" never held against them (or for them in the case of Desantis). I agree that a...

    Trump has not articulated a plan for dismantling the swamp. To the contrary he pledged a better, bigly FBI building. He is a profligate spender with no indication that he intends to reign in government spending outside of foreign aid. Every indication is that he thinks we grow our way out of...

    Trump is a dick to everyone, he would get over it quick if he thought it benefited him. She is a politician so is she going to turn it down? She has the keys to the uniparty $$$ and supposedly polls well in Trump's weakest demographics (i.e. democrats). Pence was pretty terrible and Trump picked...

    If he makes it to the election it will be because Neocon Nikki is the VP and its less messy to have him croak after winning. All assuming he isn't legally disqualified somehow first.

    I'm kind of impressed we are losing close games - I expected us to lose by much more than this. Makes me concerned about the quality of the lower half of the ACC.

    I'm convinced Trump won't make it across the finish line.

    GT projected to finish 13th in the ACC versus 15th projected for ND and we have people calling Shrews a great coach for beating GT on the road. Two more conference wins that I expected - if he gets a few more he is aces in my book.

    Back in the day my brother in law refused to caucus for anyone other than Alan Keyes and held up the caucus since Keyes had no other support at his location and a few others would have gone over the threshold. Not sure how the Rs claim this is a caucus anymore and not just a primary as you...

    Iowa : President: Republican primary : 2024 Polls If Hailey gets 1/6th of the caucus I might vomit. What a testament to how broken the Rs are that she can get this level of support. I am unclear on how the caucus works now, it sounds like a basic vote tally now versus the groupings with...

    Taxes

    This doesn't even make sense. You get taxed on it when you take it out of the IRA/401k. RMDs and the new beneficiary rules force that money out to be taxed. Build too much in there and your RMDs will force you into a higher tax bracket.

    I am getting mailers in NC for Hailey - she is playing the national poll game with her uniparty war chest. I would love to see the demographics of her supporters.

    "Evans’ streak of 1,000-yard seasons is second only to that of Hall of Fame wideout Jerry Rice, who strung together 11 such consecutive years" Dude will be 31 - I like him as compliment for Moore but you have to expect him to be in decline over those four years. Good pair of receivers for any...

    Chicago Bears address

    Top guards and centers are available late Rd 1 and throughout Rd 2. They have no Rd 2 picks. I would rather have C and G covered by trading #9 for someone's Rd1 and Rd 2 picks to target those two positions. Probably a top 5 guard and the #1 or 2 center depending on how late in the round the...

    Chicago Bears address

    Mahomes doesn't look nearly so magical without Tyreek Hill to throw too. Packers seem to have bailed themselves out with some impressive WR picks and Love was the 26th pick who got time to develop. Developing QBs on a shitty offense isn't happening.

    Inept OC makes me say ride Fields and build talent. Until that OC gets fixed, investing in QBs is a fools errand.

    Chicago Bears address

    My problem with Fields is that his style of play, and the shitty OL require a top notch backup. He will get banged up and miss time. QB is irrelevant as long as their offense and coordinator are so terrible. MH Jr and the best OL with their first two picks looks like the better path to me. They...
