That wasn't my point. The point was that Peter Ward suggested that Biden won but Harris and Clinton lost because Harris and Clinton are women; I believe that Biden was a much more credible candidate than Clinton or Ward and that's why he won.
I can't agree. Everyone of us Brighton fans would vote for Peter Ward over any of those candidates.
Surely as VP for nearly 4 years she should have been spending much of her time watching what Biden was doing, learning from him, and thinking about what she would do the same or differently? The VP has few executive powers, her primary function was to be the "spare" ready to step in.
Given his penchant for sexual dalliance I'm surprised that Trump wasn't all over the 2017 Philippines conflict between the state government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front - aka MILF.
Yes, but up until July Biden was still standing and she was going to be doing another 4 years as VP if he won. It wasn't until July she had to convince the America people she had been thinking of what she would do differently and communicate that in a campaign. The VP is there to step in on the ticket they were elected on together, she has only had 3 months to step out of that role and sell what she would do as president. As I previously said, that was a tough ask.
Ironically, really, given that over the past 8 years we've had a Tory government with - at any given time - about 6-10 Cabinet ministers eager, willing and ready to wield the knife, step in and become PM.
Power, perhaps. But Reform would have had around 90 MPs with PR.
He hasn't started any since winning the 2024 election - so it's a bright start so far.....
Unfortunately I think we will see Farage as PM in the next few years.
Yes, it's clear that the truth hurts, but who knows - Trumps tenure may be a smashing success a la Brexit.
And the majority of his citizens it would seem
I wouldn't worry too much about that. Although Vance's political thinking is a bit more organised and unpleasant than Trump's mercurial scattergun nonsense, the moment that Trump is gone, the entire Repulican party will be fighting like rats in a bag. Vance would be chewed up and spat out quicker than you could say "Kevin McCarthy" and it'll all collapse with more back stabbing than the end of a Shakespearean tragedy. The extreme right, like the extreme left, actually despise each other far more than they do the rest of us. Without a daddy figure they'll be as effective and successful in their aims as Man Utd without Alex Ferguson.
As "Nige" would say - "If it was that close, I'd like a re-vote".
