President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I doubt it. I have to think the decision has been made with the announcement coming this week or next. Going to be odd though - usually its announced at a rally. Instead we'll get a video message/live stream with Biden and the choice being socially distant. But I do think cleaning up her comments will help Bass if she makes a run for Harris' seat if it is Harris.

 

That's really amazing in 2020. Republicans have had 10(!).

 

Obama was born in Hawaii, probably

it depends on how you define ‘from’. Reagan was from California when he ran but was born in Illinois. Bushes were born in Connecticut but ran from Texas.

 

"From" obviously means state in which you are serving. "The Senator from . . . "

 

Professional opinion: It looks like he had blood drawn from the back of his hand, which left a bruise. He's overweight and not very fit, which sometimes means that the veins in the arm are hard to hit. It is possible that he's on coumadin, a blood thinner often prescribed for A-fib and other disorders, which makes the patient bruise easier. That said, the most common way to do a protime (a test for coumadin level) is a simple fingerstick rapid test giving results in a couple of minutes. I have not heard of any publicly disclosed medical condition Trump has which would require a coumadin prescription though.

 

Finally? George Will publicly left the Republican party in June of 2016.

 

Maybe. I think Harris is the obvious choice, but if she is Veep she becomes the frontrunner for the nomination in 2024. I suspect that a lot of Dem insiders are uncomfortable with that and that's where some of the recent footdragging and mudslinging is coming from.
