I have to admit I don't get it. Why do we want anyone other than Trump as the R nominee? As for Asa, the man is 76, 4 years younger than Biden. Why on earth is he bothering to run? BTW, someone should ask him if he would have voted for the just in censure of Schiff by the "normal" Rs in Congress. Biden's impeachment is next on the agenda. THERE ARE ZERO NORMAL Rs in the House. And I'm not sure there are any in the Senate!
I desperately donтАЩt want Trump to be the nominee. While I think he would be easiest for Biden to beat in the general election, it is not guaranteedтАФnot even close to guaranteed. Too dangerous. And heaven help us if Biden has a health event before the general election. Then Trump could end up being a shoo-in, assuming he hasnтАЩt had his own health event. (Who am I kidding? He would just hide it or lie about it and then wear a Superman T-shirt.)
All of the R candidates except Hutchinson are terrible, but I would absolutely rather have any of them than Trump. And, of course, when it comes to the general, IтАЩd rather have Biden than any of them.
For my part, IтАЩm going to тАЬre-registerтАЭ as a Republican and vote in the primary for the candidate who is second in the polls at the time. If things look close, I will pick the candidate I like better. Ugh!
We want anyone other than TFG as nominee because, due to the vagaries of the Electoral College, he could be re-elected, again, without winning a majority of votes. Rather than pinning our hopes on a vote for sanity in Arizona, better to try to eliminate TFG in the primaries -- keep him as far away from the Oval Office as possible. I prefer working for the least-worst option.
I'm not voting for any current GOP candidate in the general election, but there are a few I could live with if they happened to win. They wouldn't endanger Ukraine, NATO, or my child's well-being. I'm not prone to threaten to move to Canada if my candidate doesn't win, but if TFG is re-elected my first move will be to get my kid out of the country, because I have very real concerns for their safety.
The House GOP caucus is a clown show. But there absolutely are GOP Senators who take matters of national security seriously and who are serious people, regardless of whether I agree with them on everything or not.
I live in a red state with a closed GOP primary -- so I will need to register as a Republican to vote against the orange one. So:
PLEASE convince Asa Hutchinson to come on the podcast! I'd like to know who my best option in the primary will be.
Very engaging podcast with Christie, even though he spouted BS on several occasions. He's certainly entertaining...

Thanks for your replies. I'll have to think about it. (I just got out of bed - my head's still asleep! тШ║)
