Legend's performance was probably the least restrained I've ever seen him. But, I mean, when you're on stage with Sheila E and you're playing THAT SONG, you'd better bring it.

Gus Walz was an absolute sweetheart. The whole Walz family, in fact. That's what it looks like when your kids still want to talk to you and be around you when they're adults.

It's funny, too, that you would bring up how deep the bench is now for Democrats. I was just talking about that with my wife last night. Back in 2020, it felt like there wasn't anyone running that I was familiar with except Biden and maybe Warren. Now it feels like the tables have turned and Republicans have absolutely NO ONE waiting in the wings.

They tried to replace Trump with DeSantis and failed. Who's left? This is what happens when you center your party around one person - especially one as narcissistic as Trump.

Honestly, if we don’t get that cheeseburger from heaven, and if his Supreme Court keeps him out of the big sentences… Baron Von Fuckstick will just run again, no?

I mean, probably. But he'll be 83 by then. Harris will be 65. The difference between the two would be pretty hard to ignore. I can't see it being an advantage.

I didn’t say it would make *sense*!

Fair point!

I guess, but he'll probably be barely upright if still alive, I think his time is done if he doesn't win this year. More reason to throw everything at him now!

He has really noticeably declined since he made his first run 9 years ago, in a way that President Biden, despite being older than him, has not. On top of that, I have a feeling that if he loses to Vice-president Harris, (pleasepleaseplease) it's going to have a seriously detrimental effect on both his mental and physical health. Losing to Biden was bad, but to a woman of colour? Yikes!

Nikki Haley is plotting and scheming this very minute. Probably change her name back to Nimarata before 2028.

I don't doubt that Junior or Ivanka is going to make a run at it. And the thing is, they'll have a decent shot at it because the GOP is all in for Trump.

I'm skeptical they would be able to pick up his mantle. They might be his kids, but none have whatever nasty, lightening in a bottle he has that his base so loves.

They could try, but agreed about not being able to keep the cult entranced. Jr is already toast because Sr treats him like crap. Clearly he's not to be valued if Sr doesn't value him. And they probably see Ivanka in a sexual way as well, she's only good for that, not good for politics.

Ivanka also seems to have been conspicuous by her absence this time around, no? First time around she was all sharp elbows to be at the front, but I don't even remember seeing her at the RNC.

Yeah with don senior, that stupid reality show made him a star with the maga base. Plus, they think he’s a really smart businessman because of the apprentice. What a joke, don’t think any of the kids will have success but maybe the daughter-in-law Lara, is hoping for at least big grifting opportunities.
