Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
Just say "I want to lose." That's what all of you primary contenders actually mean. "I want to lose." Everyone knows you want to lose. Just say it.
Christie knows he can't win. He's trying to rebuild his own image as the "reasonable" moderate conservative that have largely abandoned the Republican party. He's hoping that Trump destroys himself, and the GOP is forced to take a long look in th mirror to confront its demons. And there he will be, saying "I told ya so."
But he's always been a fucking moron.
He didn't tell anyone. He was latched onto Trump's scrotum like a mating anglerfish until Trump finally cast him off when he began it chaffe. And Christie is neither moderate nor reasonable. He won't win any more elections, and he has no power to broker anymore. If nothing else, the stunt with the bridge should have landed him in jail, but we don't have a functioning justice system.
So he remains free, like a plastic wrapper from a twinkie someone discarded in a ShopRite parking lot, blown around by the wind, occasionally catching in the wheel of a shopping cart.
Basically all of the never Trumpers have just been auditioning for a pundit slot on CNN or MSNBC. They just love having the 'moderate Republican' on staff to fill out their panels.
Yep, for a supposed "liberal media", the corporate media is just chock full of "moderate Republicans". I'd sure like to find this so-called "liberal media", let me tell ya.
Yep, the bar is basically 'i don't support a literal dictatorship'. Or even, 'i probably would support one, but not with this clown'.
Given their both-sidering horse race nonsense, I'm not even convinced that they don't support a literal dictatorship under donnie. I mean, the constant drumbeat of BidenSoOld and HunterBidenLaptop as a contrast to all the horribleness of both the con party/base and their beloved fascist leader donnie?
It's almost designed to make the race at least close, if not put the favor on donnie's side.
