Ah Democrats please be better about not shooting yourselves in the foot. You have the Tucker Carlson news being kicked from Fox; you should 100% have let that marinate for a week. Lots of articles and videos about reminding how much Fox lied is great for them and for the nation as a whole. I know a lot of fox viewers will either move or not care, but there has to be some % that goes "you know maybe this has something to do with all the lies".

And then you drop major news in Joe Biden running again. SIGH.

The Tucker news wasn’t going to get them to push back the announcement plan. And the timing just didn’t work for pushing it back anyway - Tucker’s news dropped around noon, and by the late afternoon it was already known Biden was announcing. Too many people would’ve known that pushing it back because Tucker got fired would’ve leaked - that would’ve been worse.

It’s not like the WH would’ve had a heads up on this one, either.

I mean we've known for a while that Biden would run again; he hasn't exactly been subtle. If you had an announcement on the schedule just push up the announcement of some policy goal or give a boring update on something. They didn't exactly have a huge extravaganza for the reelection announcement planned anyways.

It's a good indication of how well run his campaign will be.

Well Mike Pence finally found some balls. I mean its only because he is lagging behind in polls and he wants political power, but I'll take what I can get. I haven't been keeping up on the Republican field. Are any other candidates pointing out that the republican frontrunning tried overthrowing our democracy? IE is my only choice to root for Mike Pence.......

Your only choice is to accept Trump will be the nominee.

now if we can get a solid 3rd party candidate like 20+ years ago...

DeSantis had a chance until the indictment and a bunch of dummies (including Pence) who thought they could win who will siphon votes from him. 2016 repeat!

Brand recognition strikes again.

But this time please blame it on Hungary, not Russia

A 3rd party candidate doesn’t solve the real problem - Congress.
