1. Republicans are really screwing up without a No Algae movement.

2. I know he doesnt want to do it, but Obama for VP

At least for one term. He could take the JD route and vacation for most of the time. We just need the name recognition at the ballot for whoever we pick for Prez.

I know its a pipe dream but the DNC needs to start thinking outside the box. The age of traditional politicians is over. America has elected a circus clown as Pres twice in the last 10 years.

4. Obama can't run for VP

His two terms as President prevent him from running for VP.

5. Unconstitutional.

If Obama could do it, so could Trump.

Nobody needs to start thinking outside the constitutional box.

7. That is what you took from this list?

Interesting

3. I see the Democratic Party is ahead of the Republican Party.

And 51% of respondents don't know (DK) who John Thune is.

6. Looks like a fair portion of respondents don't know that Tucker Carlson and...

Elon are NOT a politicians!

[orangecrush]

8. Kick

[Unwind Your Mind]

9. Poster names Hakeem Jeffries

But look where Mike Johnson is…

[SamuelAdams]

10. Looks like Mayor Pete is in good shape for a 2028 run!

[Grim Chieftain]

11. I agree with that list

I'll always believe Bernie would have been a great president.

12. Yes, but how were the poll respondents chosen?

These results would be very encouraging if the respondents were ID'ed as registered voters who are planning to vote in November. However, I could find no info on the poll's methodology in the original article,

Perhaps another reader will dive deeper to learn about this pollster, whom I've never heard of, FWIW. For the moment, I'm putting this poll result into my "Hopium" file ( but I'm eager to be proven wrong!).

13. Polls like this aren't worth the "paper" I hate them especially ones that show we are going to win in November

No we are not, YET! I want people in full on panic mode. I want people so scared that we're going to get 2 more years of this crap that they drag their friends and family to the voting booth.

[SpankMe]

14. Doesn't mean shit if people don't get out and vote

87-some million eligible voters didn't vote in 2024. I hate the non-voter almost as much as I hate Trumpers.

15. Where's Joe?
