When they pledged fealty to reality TV personality with absolutly corrupted moral and business values. I never could stand to listen to him talk as his speeches were over the top with superlatives and so clearly focused on his opinion of himself.
What causes me to be amused/saddened/worried all at the same time is that for four years millions of Americans fretted and gnashed their teeth because Trump became president in 2016.
How was it a dumb choice? Jobs are being created, an infrastructure bill passed, unemployment is low. Inflation is high, as it is world wide, tho it is higher here. The link below offers some insight.
(Continued) rhetoric resembling the McCarthyite name calling of the 1950s. In addition, the left ceded white middle class workers to inroads from the right. Trump's rhetoric seemed aimed at re-assuring this sector of the US, even as policy moves were clearly against them, such as the elimination of the requirement that a company's record of job deaths and injuries be *considered* in the granting of govt contracts. The left did its part with some of its absurd political correctness. But Trump's biggest triumph may be his contribution to the right's longstanding, openly expressed (by Donald recently, strategies Paul Weyrich a while ago) desire to have fewer people vote. His "all the elections are rigged" approach has had the GOP making it harder to vote in state after state. The dems could counter with a "get out and vote, if only because they don't want you to" campaign, but they probably won't.
Good job, Nicky, covering for our incompetent president who can't get his ratings above those of Trump's.
With their strong record of corruption, indictments, and convictions, why would you want the G.O.P., "in power"?
How is Biden incompetent? What should he have done that he hasn’t?
First and foremost, he could have shown competence in exiting Afghanistan last year instead of making him look like the incompetent Commander-in-Chief everyone believes him to be.
Aside from Early being a pro-Trumper, he sounds like a good GOP candidate to me.With their strong record of corruption, indictments, and convictions, why would you want the G.O.P., "in power"?
It is an irrational preference, or do you want failed government, government working at cross purposes with the common good?

The three right-of-center candidates running to replace California Attorney General Rob Bonta all advocate for tougher public safety measures and have questioned many of the state's recent criminal justice reforms, amid rising crime rates.www.kqed.org

The most conservative and Trump-like candidate in the race, Early runs a business and entertainment law firm and hosts a Friday night talk radio show on the Los Angeles AM station KABC. He’s an unapologetic supporter of the former president and claims, despite all evidence to the contrary, that the 2020 election was stolen and dismisses well-documented reports of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential race as a conspiracy theory. As some of his top credentials, Early cites his unsuccessful lawsuits against a school over critical race theory and against news organizations over their coverage of a Republican mining magnate and candidate for U.S. Senate. He also ran for Congress in 2020, challenging Trump critic Adam Schiff for the seat representing a large swath of Los Angeles County — and lost by some 55 points.
Early says he’s running for attorney general on a key bread-and-butter issue: public safety. California is headed in the wrong direction, he argues, and insists he's the one to fix things.
“First thing I would do on Day One is I would call a meeting,” Early said. “I would call in all the sheriffs, all the DAs, all the police chiefs, and we would have a roundtable discussion for as long as we needed to, because I want to hear from the experts on what they believe is needed to get to the bottom of what I call the creation of a criminal's paradise here in California.”
Early said he would use the bully pulpit to help push changes to laws he sees as problematic, including Proposition 47, the 2014 ballot measure that lowered most drug possession charges to misdemeanors and raised the legal threshold to prosecute felony shoplifting.
As a lawyer, Early says, he has helped scores of people targeted by mortgage fraudsters. He also served as lead attorney in the unsuccessful effort to recall Newsom. And he’s never served in government — something he considers an asset.
“I firmly believe government is the reason for our failures. It's time for somebody from out of government with my experience and background to get in and do what I can to help the people. And you know, I fight for all law-abiding citizens of all races, creeds, colors and sexual orientation,” he said.
There was no way an exit from Afghanistan could have been done gracefully. And what is wrong with "climate change progressives?" The bulk of scientific evidence, and all the nations of the world buy the evidence. In the meantime, we and allies should pump and distribute more oil given the crisis we face, but we eventually will have to revert to boosting alternatives, much as we have subsidized oil for generations.
I can tell you have spend a great deal of time rationalizing the botched retreat from Afghanistan.

This is the Trump prepared, "shit sandwich," Biden was handed off.
There was no Pentagon transition because of the middle of Trump's "big three" cons.
The first was "lock her up!" the Trump campaign/Russian Government Psy-Op

“They wanted to do something special,” (Ann Marie) Thomas recalled. “They sent me a script.”
As for Harry Miller, 71, he too would also be a key player in the August 20, 2016, rally at CityPlace in West Palm Beach. The avid carpenter and active Trump supporter was asked to turn the back of his pickup truck into a rolling jail cell, which would be used during the rally to confine Thomas decked out in a Hillary Clinton mask and prison jumpsuit.
“It was fun,” he said.
Both Thomas and Miller got paid for their participation, roles they thought were being orchestrated by other like-minded American Trump supporters. But it turned out, they were unknowing participants in wholly manufactured rallies conceived and choreographed by Russian trolls “supporting the presidential campaign of then-candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaging Hillary Clinton,” according to an indictment filed by special counsel Robert Mueller. “How would I know the guy was Russian?” Miller said Friday. ”..."
The second big con was "the Russia Hoax," and by the ending months of his presidency, Trump had as many unconfirmed appointees
as possible, especially at the Pentagon, and the incompetent Ratcliffe as DNI, to attempt to declassify everything that might advance Trump
and Barr's fake narrative of Trump; Deep State's victim.
The third big con was Trump shifting much of his administration from promoting, "the Russia Hoax" and the Big Lie claims to all of the
candidates Trump endorses along with his stooge at the RNC, Rhona Romney replacing Trump administration propagandists peddling
those lies.
