I don't dislike Ivanka either, I just don't see her as a candidate. Jr has the unlikeable douchiness his dad has. Too soon to tell about Baron. He'll have the blessing/curse to have seen everything his dad did and went through, and hopefully develops his own brain and personality.
Minimum wage isn't exactly far left...
You call it anti-socialist rhetoric, others see it as spot on. Dem leaders wouldn't be taking it so seriously (I posted the audio) if it there wasn't fire under the smoke. AOC, Bern, and the rest are Socialists. Decorate them however you want, but they are at their core anti-capitalist socialists. The are much farther left than many of the Western countries who simply have socialist elements like healthcare. They simply think they are smart enough to do it right this time, in their way...
This is inaccurate. Scott went against Trump in a few very public instances. He pissed Trump off when he commented on the Charlottesville incident. He went against a Trump appointed judicial nominee not once but twice, even after getting a lot of party pressure. He also was against Trump killing NAFTA.
That's actually the opposite of doing what a good boy is told...
It is, interestingly enough (his opposition to nominations) why I dug into his history a few years ago, and why I respect and like him. He's got his own mind, and not a party shill.
This is highly questionable too. He was on the Rules Committee in the House, which is one of the most powerful committees, and where most bills go through before they go to the floor. This is why he wasn't authoring a ton of bills (you can't author when you're the traffic cop).
In the Senate, he's on the Banking committee with the likes of many big names. Same with the Finance, Health, Education, Labor, and other committees.
LOL, and Harris has? She's only been on the national scene since 2017, while Scott has been serving Congress since 2011. Her AG stuff in Cali and San Fran is no big stuff. She's just an ultra progressive dem darling, and gifted a lot because of it, and her home state's status.
Hell, look at Obama's career prior to the presidency lol.
But let's not even talk about Harris or comps. You don't need someone that checks all the status quo DC swamp boxes. You need someone young, smart, likeable, etc, and one that is attractive to folks that aren't necessarily attracted to the primary candidate. You may not see him as carrying weight in SC, but he's well liked nationally by the GOP, and very well liked by certain demographics.
I mean this in the nicest way. Anyone that was here prior to your vacation, knows you have a team. I don't mean you're an Antifa guy, and I know you and I agree on several policy items, but you've squarely put yourself on one side. I'd say that I'm a lot more likely to vote for a moderate Dem than you are a moderate GOP. And full disclosure, I didn't vote for Trump this time...
