    I don't know Trump. We never met. What I do like is that he is willing to stick to his political and business principles regardless of what people may think. Unlike many other Republicans, he knows progressive fascists will hate him even if he gives in to them. Progressive fascists think that only they have the answers. That if you disagree, you must be 'cancelled' ,,, even if you give in on a point.

    People who knew Trump before 2015 liked him. The same people hated him after he announced his run for President.

    I think less of those two faced parasites than I do of Trump.

    People who have always been employees and never owned the outcome of their performance and the performance of those around them aren't qualified to judge people who have owned their outcomes all their lives, regardless of whether those people handle it well or not so well.

    They claim theft whenever they lose an election. It flows from a fundamental trait of authoritarians. They believe they are the smartest people in the world and when they lose it either means that voters aren't smart enough to select our leaders and shouldn't be allowed access to a ballot as Schiff stated, or they were cheated. Bloomberg thinks he should be able to choose what people are allowed to drink, what they are allowed to eat, what they are allowed to say, whether people should be allowed to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights, whether they should be allowed to walk down the street without be stopped and frisked.

    Yeah. I think the pick would be more on the chance of winning Georgia than demographics. Although that probably has a lot to do with it also. I'm a numbers guy, I'm always scheming on the best way to reach 270. Kaine didn't help Hillary, Virginia was going democratic regardless. Pence also didn't help Trump to reach 270. Biden didn't help Obama, Paul Ryan made sense to me in the search for 270. Palin was a dunce of a pick and so forth. Now there is also regional balance to be considered along with ideological. Palin probably fell into the ideological choice. Biden in both the regional and ideological. Kaine was neither. Pence probably help with conservatives and the religious. So there are other reasons. Another is experience.

    Few folks realize Abrams came within 55,000 votes of being Georgia's governor. So she is a vote getter. Probably the most important aspect is the top of the ticket being comfortable with his VP choice.

    Everyone is entitled to his views. It's very easy for me to tolerate or even embrace a co-worker or someone else with Trump's personality. Being military all my life, I've had some pretty rough friends. But the president of the United States is quite different than a co-worker or a buddy.

    agree with your assessment on ev1 except Abrams, imo shes weak. she lost to a runoff candidate and it was only close due to the black vote. if that's who the top candidate wants, I think it will be on par with Palin.

    but that's my opinion only.

    fyi, a few folks know she almost won? **** man she refused to concede and complained about losing forever! everybody knows. and ev1 that doesnt will be reminded.

    Yep Yep Yep Yep...

    She lost in a race where she complained about her chief rival getting over 50% of the vote. She is a "B" candidate at best.

    The ever popular excuse when Democrats lose is voter suppression. Any of these "B" level candidates that pick her will make it an all "B" ticket.

    She is likeable, charismatic, etc. seems like a nice lady. However she is just clinging to policies that are antique

    Ha ha, she lost the election and then claimed she was the real governor of GA. That ain't likable, that ain't nice, and it ain't an antique policy. If she was white she would be scanning your purchases at Walmart.
