Some humor in politics.

Here in GA we have been noticing a number Ossoff campaign signs being altered.

The "O" being changed to an "A".

2 I hope he doesn't run. I haven't really figured out why, but something about Vance doesn't make me eager to vote for him.

3 He may be waiting for the floaters to appear before he dives in. I think he might be a good ambassador, perhaps for steering India to a US alliance.

4 I like DeSantos...he seems most "Presidential" of the bunch to me.

5 He may have peaked in the news cycle too soon.

6 The youth look at his wife as a liability. I have met very few gen z and millennials who thinks Vance is a strong candidate.

How is the man, married to a hindu... if you ever look at his extended family pics, he is always the lone white guy in the picture. You'd think they were in India. So it begs the question, HOW THE HELL is he gonna fix H1B1 with with baggage wife?

The conclusion the youth and I have is that he cannot.

7 I agree with #4 - DeSantis has been a governor. Besides - Vance is young, he has time. Maybe run for governor first.

8 Honestly, I think he’s very effective as a vice president, and I’d love to see him play that role for the next president. The team of DeSantis and Vance, with Rubio continuing at the State Dept. would make me really happy.

I’d accept Mr. Rubio as a governor for the experience, too, I suppose, but he is an amazingly effective Secretary of State. And let’s get Ted Cruz on the Supreme Court as soon as the Senate has some breathing room — they could use some stiffening — as well as make use of more former Republican governors, whether in Congress or running various departments. No point in letting all that executive experience go to waste.
