What's this?

He defined the Peter Principle as co-CEO, but that isn't really my point.

I don't mean I think he has a low IQ and hasn't made a bunch of money. I mean he has zero substance when it comes to public policy and government. He's basically the popular jock who runs for school president so he can say he's school president. I don't think he has any actual ideas. None that I've heard anyways. Maybe he will prove me wrong.

IYRC, I considered John Edwards and empty suit too. He had a JD and made tens of millions as a trial lawyer (which in my view is a lot more impressive than getting an MBA and some cushy c suite positions), but he was nothing more than a peacock out to advance himself in politics.

That's my point. Basically a vain rich guy looking for a notch on his belt, not someone called to service to make a difference.

A lot of suburban moderates seem to have flipped. Have also read Youngkin -- WahooRQ 11/02/2021 8:26PM

I hope a Youngkin win would show GOP that they don't need to embrace Trump -- JohnHoo2 11/02/2021 8:30PM

I think that interpretation is absolutely true. ** -- BocaHoo91 11/02/2021 8:56PM

Pragmatically, that’s probably the best you can hope for -- HoosGuy 11/02/2021 9:04PM

Yeah, I hear you. It's just the crazies in the GOP are so much more -- BocaHoo91 11/02/2021 9:11PM

Trump would certainly attribute the win to himself. ** -- HAZER 11/02/2021 8:43PM
