Rhonda may sound like a moron. What does Biden sound like? Does needed to spit out words because you're in such a demented state that you can't speak anymore connect nationally?
Biden sounds like a very old but rather normal (for an 80 year old) man.
Rhonda sounds like a male Hillary Clinton retail politician with an Ashcroft-tier true believer neocon foundation trying to co-opt America First. They probably made Gitmo detainees alpha test/focus group his speeches and like 30 seconds in, some poor fucker was like "USAMA'S IN ABBOTTABAD. IN A HOUSE JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM THE ACADEMY. OH GOD MAKE IT STOP. PLEASE WATERBOARD ME. SEND IN JESSICA CHASTAIN AND THE SCRUFFY NERF HERDERS. ANYTHING"
Buttigieg actually presents as an affable guy with retail politician skills. Basically if Marco Rubio was of Balt stock and had a 30 point higher IQ. Klobuchar and Haley seem to have some polished, experienced, middle of the road positions for their respective parties.
DeSantis ain't ready, the DoJ is his only real ally, and you'll need a debt default, a recession, or a terror attack from a group based in Afghanistan for DeSaster or Blompf to step to Brandon. Search your feelings, boy. You know it to be true.
curious what objectively Republicans want.
Depends who you ask. The ones with a billion dollars want two billion. The churchy ones want LGBTBBQ and no boar shin. The MIC ones want wars with Iran and Venezuela. The working-class MAGA ones want FDR-era socioeconomic policies. The retiree/small business owner MAGA ones want cheap English-speaking labor and a death sentence for anyone responsible for a phone that tells them to press 1 for English. And a Harley to go 10 under on in the passing lane with no helmet on sunny Sundays.
A couple want a budget deal heavily biased towards spending cuts, a real supply of goods to Ukraine to put a fork in that fuckup, and a return to 1950s social norms.
