In reply to the discussion: Mark Kelly for President in 2028. [View all]LaMouffette
(2,562 posts)of all the Republican gerrymandering, voter suppression, and other such cheating that is almost certain to occur in the 2028 election.
This fact is disgusting, given that the Repubs can run any ole dumbass (George W.) or Satan's spawn (Rump) and get him elected (thanks for nothing, Electoral College), but we have to have run a one-in-a-million, superman candidate like Barack Obama (not that that many Rs voted for Obama, I guess hurting my argument here) to get across the finish line.
But I believe it's true: Because the 2028 election will be under severe attack, we need to beat the R candidate by having their R voters vote for our Dem candidate. I think many R voters are against Rump now for all that he has done. Now we just need to give them someone they will want to vote for, like Mark Kelly, war hero and astronaut.
As for charisma, I think, I HOPE, they have had all the charisma they can stomach from Rump and have realized that charisma can sometimes, and certainly in Rump's case, equal con artist.
So I vote Mark Kelly for president and Tim Walz for VP. And, of course, Gabby Giffords for First Lady.
