    Hopefully, one of them will be able to bring some much need jobs to Michigan. Every other senator from Michigan in the last 100 years has pretty much done the same as Robert Byrd did for West Virginia - absolutely nothing.

    Really? You don't think that the former governor, of fucking New Jersey knows how to rustle up some cash if he wants it? "Hey, Vinnie! You got any cash laying around you might want to put towards a good investment? I dunno if I'll beat him, but if anybody else gets the nomination, they're going to kick something my way, I'm sure. I get a piece, you get a piece. You get it?"

    I just don’t think he’s that appealing.

    To certain people he is because he was seen as an outsider in 2016. He pretended to be anti-swamp, he turned out to not be.

    That’s fine, but those people are likely to nominate him again. Everyone knows Christie is a never-Trumper so it’s not likely he’s going to go far so the people donating to his campaign are equally stupid.

    Only if Trump gets the nomination. If Trump doesn't get the nomination (and who knows what will happen between now and then, he and Biden are both elderly), then Christie's got a shot at a cabinet gig or a cushy ambassador job. And it's a $1.6 million haul. Individuals are capped at how much they can give to a campaign in an election cycle. I think the total's like $2,500. That's nothing for somebody worth millions. So, if Trump gets the nomination, they're not out anything that they'd even notice. If he doesn't, then they've got a toe-in with at least one of the other camps and they can use that to leverage their influence with whomever winds up getting the nomination.

    As much as I like Niki Hailey, that same strategy didn’t work for her. Christie is delusional. Unfortunately, the fringe on both parties have spoken.

    Uh-uh. No. You don't get to "bothsides" this and not get called on it.

    The fringe of the Republican party is made up of lunatics who invent bizarre conspiracy theories about every election they lose, spew vile bullshit about "grooming" as an excuse to attack LGBTQ Americans, spent the entire pandemic making up lies about everything that was actually effective and trying to convince everyone to take whatever bullshit fake cure Joe Rogan told them about yesterday, think it's totally cool that armed thugs stormed the Capitol to stop the democratic transfer of power, and are utterly in thrall to the most corrupt person to hold the presidency in 100 years (and since the last 100 years included Richard Nixon, that's saying something) ... and they have the party by the balls.

    The fringe of the Democratic party is an old dude from Vermont who thinks everyone should have health care, and he lost the nomination twice.

    It worked just fine for her. She got to be the UN Ambassador, and now she's running for President, so it doesn't matter who wins the election, she can command higher speaking fees and can expect to get all kinds of cushy board offers.

    Nope, the fringe of the Democratic Party are people who want drag queens in the classroom and want to push racism onto the kids. Or want kids to have sex change operations or allow men in women’s spaces. Or people who think socialism and communism are cool and celebrate people like Che Guevara.

    Oh and the election denial is bipartisan. Hillary Clinton is an election denier.

    Hilary Clinton did not stir an angry mob to invade the Capitol, nor is she still banging on about it four years later.

    congratulations on showing yourself to be on the fringe of the right wing as well as the fringes of school yards.
