    judging by the number of emails my spam folder has been getting from him over the past few months, it’s been pretty obvious that he’s running.

    my current #1 draft pick is still AOC, but Kelly seems…fine?

    (with the caveat that I don’t know much about his actual positions, which is probably the way he’s trying to keep it. but he’s definitely preferable to Gavin Hairpiece or Harris 2.0)

    Americans are stupid enough that “oh he was an astronaut so he’d make a good president” might actually work.

      He’s not literally Satan, but he’s not a particularly good Senator and his big fight with the administration was a very limited statement and he wouldn’t say any current acts were illegal orders. Just sort of the say nothing and seek bipartisanship politics that’s lead us here.

      He’s got a great backstory though.

          We’re literally in the pre-primary process. Critiquing the candidates with supporting information is how it’s actually supposed to work.
