Unless men get women back into their traditional role of being married with kids, more and more women are going to become politically active and their by far #1 desire is abortion rights. Like it or not, women having "freedom" means they care about abortion rights, and maybe ONLY care about abortion rights.

Here's a nice little twist. We have a true anti-vaxx candidate jumping into the race. This guy wrote the book on anti-vaxx, and basically presented Fauci as the most evil man in history, with the blood of millions on his hands!


Unfortunately his son, Conor, went to Ukraine and fought as a volunteer. On the other hand, here is RFK Jr. tweeting a strong Jeffery Sachs article against the US involvement in Ukraine.

Interesting. Pretty sure you don't have to be a registered D to vote in the D primary in my state. At this point prefer him strongly over anyone the GOP is talking about.

According to this article, he is a serious Catholic who takes his children to church every Sunday, says grace before every meal, and says prayers before bedtime.


The article tells a lot of his background besides that. In many ways he is more extreme than Bernie Sanders.

He is strongly against the deep state. Besides the fact that the deep state supports the corporate oligarchy that is destroying the planet, and besides the fact that the deep state is warmongering around the world, he knows that the deep state murdered his father and his uncle.

As Trump dominates the airwaves, ‘it feels like f***ing 2016’​

“This is deja vu all over again,” said Terry Sullivan, who ran Marco Rubio’s 2016 campaign for president. “Trump dominates media coverage, making it impossible for his competitors to get any coverage or forward traction.”

The Republican presidential primary was always expected to revolve around Trump. But post-indictment, as Republicans rally to his defense — including, crucially, conservative talkers on Fox News — Trump’s opponents are confronting an even more damaging dynamic in race: Their inability to break through at all.

“It feels like f***ing 2016,” said a Republican strategist who supports DeSantis and was granted anonymity to speak freely about the dynamics of the race. “Is there anything that can suck up as much political oxygen in the American political landscape as Trump? I don’t think so.”

Far from cable TV’s focus on Trump’s indictment, DeSantis has been plowing ahead with a political operation that resembles the early stages of a presidential campaign. But during the final weeks of Florida’s jam-packed legislation session — the backdrop against which DeSantis is preparing his case for taking his local conservative agenda nationwide — the governor hasn’t gotten a fraction of the attention Trump has. Visiting Long Island recently to promote his record and his book, he was greeted by a number of New Yorkers in MAGA hats and a sign that read “DeSantis 2028,” suggesting he get out of Trump’s way in 2024.

To Republicans who saw Trump steamroll through the primary in 2016, it’s all beginning to look like a rerun. And largely helpless to do anything about Trump on their own, they have been venting frustrations increasingly at the media.

“What’s frustrating to me is we didn’t learn a damn thing from 2015 and 2016 when it comes to just giving him absolute, roadblock media coverage,” said David Kochel, a veteran of six Republican presidential campaigns. “I get it, it’s a big story. But this was getting covered like … the opening of the war in Iraq or the O.J. chase. You couldn’t escape it.”

He said upcoming debates, cattle calls and other events during the campaign will “give everybody an equal footing, an opportunity” to drive their own coverage. But for now, he said, there isn’t much any Trump rival can do.

Look for the establishment vote to consolidate early behind one candidate, Hayley, Pence and Cheney are going to run as one, they'll get Pompeo and other establishment neocons/grifters on board - in a losing effort, but they'll have a respectable showing, especially with deSantis getting some of the populist vote from Trump.

RFK is the best candidate out there, but unfortunately he is going to get clobbered by the Dem establishment.
