Your 2024 Presidential Election Thread

[AWP]

Who would I suggest as an alternative to Gaetz? I don’t know the pool of potential options, but one I heard floated and that stuck out to me is Mark Paoletta, served in the previous Trump administration or possibly Florida's AG, Ashley Moody.

DeSantis would have worked as the AG.

The real winners of the election are Gabbard and Noem.

Re: Integrity to the process. The policy and process for Covid were accepted...really? By whom? Only by those that wielded power or bowed to it. However, it was challenged outright from nearly the beginning by many. Why? We knew the policies were bullshit and the process to get us there lacked integrity. Same holds true with some of the climate change arguments and other popular issues on the left.

I'd argue this lack of integrity from the left helped lay the foundation for the overwhelming election result. We saw a campaign run by Harris-Walz, and run on the coat tails of the past 4 years, that lacked integrity and was exposed to such an extent that it simply wasn't palatable to most. They forced a process and it got them control for the short term, but ultimately it caught up with them.

I'm not looking for Saints in out politicians. It's also not Polly-Anna-ish to have standards. Look at the rest of Trump's cabinet selections. That's my expectation and it's very realistic. Selecting someone based on their youth is tantamount to saying my Vice President running mate will be a woman... I simply want the cabinet to be a coalition of the capable.

Meh. Disagree. I typed out a longer response, but it doesn't matter. There are no standards for politicians and no moral behavior in politics.

I am sure Paoletta or Moody are fine picks- there is a reason they aren't the pick. Whatever that reason is, I don't care. I don't care about "baggage", and pretending there are standards for politicians after everything we have seen these last few years is a fools errand, in my opinion.

Gaetz is the pick. Any Republican that votes against him should be stripped of their committee positions, if any, and primaried.

The boomer generation has held power for WAY too long; Pelosi, Biden, Trump, McConnell, et al; should have been replaced 20 years ago.

The only boomer generation Presidents have been Clinton, GW Bush and Obama...Pelosi is fucking ancient...I think she used to caucus with Denisovans...
