I really don't understand USA politics. In a country of 330 million people, the best 2 candidates that they can come up with is Trump and Biden?

Well that may be the likiest choice but neither candidate is actually finalised as being on the ballot yet.

- DeSanctimonious is scarier than DT for different reasons if his recent Florida re-election campaign ad is anything to go by!

Someone please explain why...
The Republican Party is called "The Grand Old Party" when they were formed in 1854
&
The Democratic Party was formed in 1824 ?
They lied from the get go, typical American politics eh, never stood a chance....

I can't stand the guy, don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth and believe that the only person he cares about is himself.
Having said that, I'd love to see him give it another shot, just to hear the meltdown/tantrum when he falls at whatever hurdle he does. DeSantis appears to be the more popular candidate for the party and it would be quite amusing to see him not even get to fight it out for the main gig again!
Plus I'd love to hear his excuses about why he didn't win. It'll probably be Hillary Clinton's fault again

He's only in it to sell more MAGA shite then eventually sell his supporter base to whomsoever offers up the most pardons.

He's desperate to extend his record of failure by losing a third election, but I doubt he's even going to be able to win the nomination this time. Best way to keep himself out of prison though! Maybe this defeat will be the one which wakes up his base of voters to how pathetic and wrong he is and they are.

My optimistic instinct, warmed by the mid terms, is that he’ll loose the eventual election.
Reasons - anti abortion was a huge vote loser in the mid terms, the lying and the attempted coup on Congress, plus he’s a complete cnt.

Religious fundamentalism is extremely dangerous in all its guises. Here's another fruitloop. Just as dangerous as trump.

Whilst this is probably a good thing, it is frightening how much power Murdoch wields throughout the world.

He did (with the help of his campaign team presumably) - his wife then posted it on Twitter.

Of course Trump has a chance of winning the next US Presidential Election.
1. Biden is an old man, older than Trump.
2. Kamala Harris has not made the impact she needed to.
3. The USA has its own cost of living crisis and many voters will want someone to blame.
4. Voters love to be seduced by promises of sunny uplands and greener grass. Trump will tell them what they want to hear, whereas Biden's rhetoric will be based more on reality.
That said, I think the shifting demographics is, ultimately, key. Younger people are more likely to support abortion and environmental policies, inclusive gender and racial policies and the Democrats have a stronger record here.

That's a heavily biased article; more party political broadcast than proper news. Describing him as illiberal because he said that the benefits of vaccinating under-5's against covid are outweighed by the risks? That's surely a mainstream view. Taxing Disney at full rates? Liberals generally like taxing multinationals, don't they? It's not good journalism to muffle the sound of the good points by adding dubious ones.That’s why Trump has vowed to take DeSantis down - all the Murdoch press, including Fox Fake News is now favouring backing DeSantis if he runs.
If we’re worried about Trump returning to power, we should be even more worried about this guy, he really will incentivise the fundamentalist anti-vaxers, Pro-life, gay bashing, gun-toting white extremists
What Trump vs. DeSantis says about the future of the American right
DeSantis’s governing style isn’t a break with Trumpism, but its evolution.www.vox.com
Trump beat H Clinton because she was one of very few people in America that he could beat. If Trump faces Biden again, he may well win because Biden is also one of very few people in America who he could beat. If DeSantis faces Biden, he will win easily. People may have every sympathy for a man who can't remember how his son died, but they will be reluctant to vote for him even when Trump is the alternative.

About the only good thing that came out of COVID.
Trump was 100% nailed on to win the last election until the pandemic came along.

Surely won't someone like Trump see any charges against him some kind of badge of honour,and play the card of the Liberal Elites are out to get him rather than Republican politics aka an establishment stitch up?
