    RFKj would be an interesting choice. He's talked the talk, but we haven't seen him perform under pressure like we have with Trump.
    He hired/retained the employment of several people he should have known not to. He's a bad judge of character. This is what caused the covid and vax problems, and his relationship with the military types. Seriously, Bolton? Milley? This is a bad problem to have, but we're not really in a situation where we have any other choice.

    Which is strange because along the general path of business success from self-employed-expert -> small business -> franchising -> overseer (board of directors) -> simply an investor/business owner, at each successive step you need to become better at hiring and managing people (to whom you are in a nutshell delegating more and more of what used to be essential daily business tasks of yours). The layman's assumption is that Trump was just a lucky trust fund child, which we know to be generally false since he exponentially grew the wealth inherited from his father. But then again, you don't get as successful as he is without doing much better at hiring and managing people than his POTUS hires demonstrated. Maybe there were powerful women behind the scenes helping him not screw up every single important hire he needed to make (Hormozi admits how his wife is the Ying to his Yang as far as how their business skills complement each other, and I'm sure many other successful examples are out there)

    Trump's star-spangled Justice League was been bolstered by Elon Musk, and RJK Jr, but now Wonder Woman Tulsi joins their ranks! It's going to be amazing to witness Trump, yet again, superheroically swoop in and... keep America on exactly the same general course it's already hurtling along.

    Trump, who when he ran back in 2000, said Oprah Winfrey was his ideal choice for VP. The same guy who donated to Harris.

    Can you believe it's come to this for Conservative Americans? Nobody expects anything to change, they're just voting for the lesser of two evils who objectively has no real world-view, just a collection of changing opinions. What's worse is this will be the tone of every presidential election now.

    "At least he's not Harris". MAGA!

    I think Vance as vp is a pretty substantial change in conservative economic ideology. It’s safe to say the GOP was not for subsidizing certain areas of the economy or imposing tariffs in order to allow American manufacturing to compete with the rest of the world. Although I like Vance’s approach with reporters and he seems smart, I would have a hard time voting for someone with that much economic intervention as their platform, but then again I’m one of the libertarian republicans that have been basically wiped out since 2016. I guess what you’re saying is true because I am doing exactly what you said; voting for Trump/Vance because Harris will do much more harm than them.

    Do not forget all of the Silicon Valley money that Thiel, et al., are putting in the pot. Vance and Ramaswammy's angels.

    As Putin said in his Tucker Carlson interview, the Russians have learned the US President has no real power or authority.
    Col. Douglas Macgregor says he now sees no real difference in policy under a Trump administration versus a Harris administration.

    After the assassination attempt, Trump took a hard turn back to establishment neoconservatism and zionism; he now publicly supports war with Iran.
    Vance was a compromise candidate, much like Pence; an "insurance policy" for the intelligence agencies and mossad.
    Mass immigration is now supported with new paths to legalization; "We should staple green cards to every college diploma" -Trump 2024
    Anyone who has been to college knows the standard for "earning" a diploma is only that you have to pay your tuition fees; look at Canada to see how this "legal" immigration path works out.

    At least publicly, stated Trump policy would directly align with Harris policy on the two most important issues: war and immigration.
    These are not MAGA policies, they do not put America first and a supermajority of True Americans do not support either policy.

    The US election reminds me of the UK election, do you vote for a feckless conservative party that is ruining the country or just pull the plug and vote for labour and do it fast.

    Orania is a name everyone should start knowing a bit more about.

    One has to wonder how much of that is Trump pandering to the base and how much is actual potential policy.

    For the record, I say this as a libertarian that has not voted for a major party POTUS candidate since 2004, before I was a libertarian. (I sat out 2020 due to moving)

    The situation is that no candidate is a 100% fit for anybody; the only person that 100% agrees with your politics is you.

    Therefore, one must choose which candidate is the best fit.

    The establishment has done everything they can, including at the very least laying fertile fields for an assassination attempt, to prevent a second DJT term. Why? If you generally don't like the establishment political system in the US one must reach the conclusion that there is only one choice.

    Is DJT going to fix it all? Certainly not. The country is sick and just like its obese & lazy population getting healthy won't happen overnight. The choice comes down to this once one thinks about it: do you want to give the American experiment a stay of execution? Do you want to put some reasonable people back in charge to start fixing things? The alternative is to vote for another democrat and accelerate the decline to all out collapse.

    I don't want that for anyone, voting is free, and we should at least try.

    I think this is a pivotal moment in our country, certainly the most important POTUS election in my lifetime. Its as much if not more a vote rejecting the insanity of the establishment system / democrats as it is for DJT. IMHO even if you are in a red state people need to get out and vote. The victory needs to be undeniable, the numbers in the popular vote need to reflect a sound rejection of the democrats' bullshit by a wide majority of the country.

    I don't think you guys appreciate how bitterly late in the game we are. The Federal government has superceded all other authorities internationally, but the powers haven't rested within marble hallways for decades. It has ballooned into a cancerous tumor cluster of OGAs, lobbyists, and other such collectives where influence and interests converge. It will not die until the host dies, and it must be excised by an appropriate force.

    Hand-wringing over silly concerns like "zionism" or "immigration policy" is as pointless as getting upset over who won or lost a battle in some long-distant war.

    Either the States rip the power back and scatter it or the host dies and we descend into the chaotic civil war of collapse and slap-dash balkanization. None of it will be peaceful, fast, or afford the individual or family any guarantee of survival. Those you will have to find inside of yourself, your family and community.

    I don’t in all honesty think you understand that the people Mr. Vance represents are not “neoconservatives and Zionists.”

    Then again, nothing happens, bro.
