How is the choice literally between a senile degenerate and a super senile crook?
There’s gotta be a cap on the age of candidates. Bring back the Obama—Romney debates please.

I like Vivek - I think he would make a highly entertaining VP.
Agree - would say he's well-spoken, generally has solid ideas and overall good energy. He knows how to explain a lot of the key concerns people have and has solutions that work well
Yeah exactly
Even ignoring the entertainment factor he’s dynamic and can argue for his positions. Comes across as quite intelligent and won’t be easy for dems to debate.
He wouldn't bring anything to the ticket. Vivek is a controversial figure himself, making his wealth in questionable ways. He's a big personality, which the Republican ticket already has. He didn't actually perform that well in the GOP primaries because he was only well liked by the Twitter crowd (people forget that Twitter is not real life--Vivek did not come off as likeable to normal people). He's not particularly pro-Israel. He doesn't bring suburban women into the fold that Trump lacks. He doesn't really represent a state whose voters would, via state pride, naturally vote for him--he has houses all over and I think an official residence in Ohio. He'd be all around a very poor pick for VP (not that he'd be a bad VP or have bad policies) if the intention is to win.
My pick would be Virginia Governor Glenn Younkin, who, on the right, is a foil to Trump. Younkin has an exact opposite personality and represents a swing state (Virginia is in play this year). Younkin has the potential of delivering electoral votes.
Yeah. My pick would actually be Tim Scott. I think Trump could win with Tim Scott, but also I think Trump will win no matter who he picks.
Who is the degenerate and who is the crook?
The worst case scenario for a Biden presidency’s is that he is not capable of doing the job and lets his team manage the country. The worst case scenario for a Trump presidency is that he sells our country to the highest bidder.
I am hoping that someone will step up and saves this country. My guy would be Mark Cuban.
I like Mark Cuban and not sure what "sq e" this country means, but think Trump would be a better president in 2024 than Mark Cuban.
Bad typo. I fixed it.
His team is awful and incompetent
Conveniently forgetting the millions in blatant bribes he took via Hunter and other family members, not to mention that his "team" is literally the people who have spent the last 20+ years in various capacities selling out the country lmao. Glad see the mask come off though as you advocate for unelected to be pulling the strings and running the country behind a lifeless figurehead, refreshing honesty from your ilk for once. Trump is far from the first or most corrupt politician to be in the White House over the past 3 decades, but he's the first that the establishment across both parties has unified against.
Edit: and the feckless mods deleting my comment outlining sources for the tens of millions of bribes the Biden family has taken in response to the below comment thread is just the cherry on top.

Yeah no shit you fucking idiots. 80yr old dinosaurs don’t understand legitimate contemporary issues, who knew 🤯
On the other hand, based off the other night’s performance, I’m not so sure he’s even able to intelligibly articulate his supposed ignorance of contemporary issues.
What is better an incoherent man of integrity or a coherent man who lies constantly.
If Biden wasn’t awful, we would talking about black jobs and Trump calling Biden a Palestinian.
Are we really still playing the game where we pretend X or Y politician acts with “integrity”,“dignity”, etc? Let’s be real here…
It is very low bar to have more integrity than Trump. If you are that unfamiliar with Trump's lack of integrity, you should probably educate yourself on the topic
I actually watched the debate 3 times. Counted the "lies".
Firstly, let me define what is a lie. A lie is not an opinion you think is wrong nor is it an embellishment made for effect, it is a factual statement made with the intention of deceiving the audience. Example of the embellishments, Trump: Everyone agreed with me on that, it is obvious to anyone hearing that statement that everyone didn't actually agree with him but the statement was used to imply that there were significant numbers of people who did. Biden: We are going to tax the trillionaires, we all know that there aren't any real trillionaires in America but the exaggeration, read melted brain misspeak, was used to prove a point about his administrations view on wealth.
As for the actual lies I will have to refer to my notes, but the number of lies made by both sides were basically the same. This talking point is an insanely disingenuous gaslighting attempt to try and distract everyone from the reality of what they saw. This was obvious given how the narrative was instantly on all of the post debate opinion shows, the wrap up event for the Democrats, and Democrat surrogates on social media. The saying goes that the easiest people to fool are people who think they are smart has never rung more true.
Anyone who watches this debate three times, takes notes and counts lies needs to touch grass.
That you for the humor.
um, the only supporters of him I've met are the creepy FOB indian guys whose idea of a good tie is to awkwardly stare at girls and make creepy comments to each other.
Can't think of a single policy of his I agree with and he honestly is a thoroughly unpleasant person
That is pretty racist. At least Indians try to assimilate to some extent unlike some other groups in the US.
Correct and that group would never support Vivek for obvious reasons.
That's legitimately what all the white frat dudes do. You're just pointing out the Indians because you're racist and they're nerdy because of higher IQs and STEM inclination so it comes across as more awkward even though its literally the same thing
His speeches were well received
The political illiteracy of the title of this comment is peak WSO humor
It is very unfortunate we have to choose between Trump and Biden. I would prefer Vivek over Trump because there is almost no politician today that is more unethical than Trump. I hope that one day, ethics for candidates will matter
