I do have regrets about not pursuing statistics more in college. I went into video editing and animation... which I quickly aborted into sales, product and consulting in post-college life.
luckily, made some friends with software engineers in 2011 who intro'd me to the bitcoin world

It's ok to admit to Trump still has a massive support base and thus was likely going to perform fairly well nationally this election. Based on this you could make the argument he was the "safer" option on the R ticket.
It's also ok to admit that Biden is a historically unpopular POTUS, and that whoever the R's nominated was likely to perform well this election.
Thethe, keep throwing out the abortion argument all you want. Most pro-choicers already hold Trump accountable for the reversal of Roe V Wade. Hell, Trump himself takes credit for it. In his own words "I Was Able To Kill Roe v. Wade.”
There is a big difference between someone who literally pushed a 6 week ban versus Trump who historically was always pro-choice and believes in medical freedom so that states can make their own decisions.
Abortion has time and time again played out terribly for us even in Red States.
Trump took the issue away from the left in 2024 and now they have no clue what to do.
Abortion would be the #1 issue if RDS was the nominee and we would lose terribly.

Technically, he is correct. It was indeed the most successful govt program we have ever seen. Do to government co-operatioon, we were able to develop a safe vaccine to a deadly virus in under 12 months. It undoubtedly saved millions of lives in the process.
The vax should never have been mandatory. And certainly Pfizer and Moderna have made billions off of this. It's completely understandable that people would/should be skeptical.
But people are also acting like the vax is way more dangerous than it actually is.

Because he is also trying to win a national election (one could argue one that will spell disaster if we don't win) and he would rather not give the left any ammunition beforehand.
You know - Like RDS did by not talking about his ideas on abortion heavily before he ran for his re-election.

The vaccine is great for at-risk.
The risk/reward made no sense for those not at risk.
Trump would have never mandated the vax and therefore we would never be in this position where there are truly bad side effects that otherwise helathy people are dealing with.
My wife had terrible rashes moving around her body for a month almost immediately following her second shot.

I guess the argument is that RDS does well when he's playing on the 27 Yankees roster.

you're exhausting
In order to pass legislation, you need the votes to have it. He didn't feel he had the votes in 2022. He felt he had it in 2023.
He got it done
Trump had a blood red congress and the only he got done was a Paul Ryan tax cut - which I was and am still happy about
I keep waiting for you to tell me all the other governors who simply sign what the red legislature gives them.. but you've come up empty over and over
Until you do, I'll assume you agree that RDS is the best governor in the country, and it's not particularly close
