Elections Steven A Smith.... For President?

[italiamusica]

Why do people think the President is supposed to be some entertainer who knows nothing about politics, humanity, or anything related to this country? Trump should be evidence enough that making random ass nepo baby losers president is a horrible idea.

What a fucking joke lol

First term was not bad but no repeat.

I don't consider Obama particularly strong, but stronger than the most recent ones. Being in a weak era does not mean he will be judged less.

He has to liberate China with troops and turn it into a multiparty democracy for that to happen.

So you can't realistically portray a standard for which a Presidential nominee is 'strong,' and all of the recent nominees have been weak.

Okay dokay.

Martha's Vineyard immigrants stunt was pretty much that and Trump is pretty much terrible at baiting people period.

He's terrible at baiting, although his political opposition have repeatedly taken the bait.

So ESPN gave a ton of money for him to be their house clown...

And that is supposed to translate into politics...

If you really believe Disney would throw $20 million a year at a 'house clown' it shows how narrow-minded you are.

The trends were moving towards authenticity regardless of Trump. Stepehn A does not even even have authentic sports opinions....

Haters could have said Trump was horrible at real-estate & his reality show was on the decline .... in 2015.

Doesn't really matter now, does it?


So who's your pick to be the Dems nominee, Nizam?

Its a a weak era. Does not mean future historians will not put it into the proper context.

Yep, they are way more baitable and the Repubs are not taking advantage.

Yes, they will pay 20 mil to a clown that gets ratings. How am i narrow minded?

Haters are right, for the sake of how he will remembered he would had been better of never running for president.

Now historians will absolutely bury him from every political side.

I hope a non interventionist, but i do not care much since i never think of myself as a democrat.

Running short on time, so I can only respond to this -

Because you're the type to dismiss someone as a 'clown' without any curiosity how he's achieved the status he currently has.

Is Disney boardrooms full of clowns? Every one of the execs who offered and approved of his $20 million contract?

Clowns dress up in funny clothes, makeup, and honk horns. He talks in front of a microphone for multiple hours a day with millions of listeners.
Are all of them stupid for listening to a 'clown?'

If it's so easy to achieve such success with that status & compensation, why have you not attempted the same career path?



Your answers to these questions are irrelevant. Your posts shows your lack of curiosity and your complete dismissal to others success, and what you could learn from it.

That is why you are clearly narrow-minded, to put it politely.

I rarely call people clowns, check my post history. He is not a genius inventor, has more in common with some lucky youtuber embraced by the algorithm than a captain of industry.

Disney boardrooms are full of incompetence that are burning their IP farm, but giving a large salary to Stephen A might be justified.
I doubt Disney board members listen to his sports takes ever.

I don't think it is easy to get the 20 mil but luck exists and that clown is lucky.

Not others,s success. Stephen A's. That is different.And Trumps, no shit.

That's not how it's worked since the first televised presidential debate.

Don't take this as an endorsement, but an acknowledgement of reality, that to convince tens of millions to vote for a nominee for president they have to be convinced that person will bring meaningful change to the country, their city/state, and themselves personally.

If you disagree with this, please point out a nominee that won the presidency with "I'm boring & would be a good president" since debates were televised.

The Democrat nominee should at least be more exciting than JD Vance.
Shouldn't be too hard, right?

Just don't do televised debates, choosing a president based on their debating ability is retarded anyway.

Ha. You're a sick man.

Yeah, but in general when debates started being televised the marketing aspect of political campaigns began to be far more combative between the nominees.

I'm sure he may have found some President from the early 1800s hat he could point to as proof someone won the Presidency with the 'I'm boring, but I'll be a good president' marketing through newspaper articles and ads... But that'd be completely irrelevant to today's expectations for a Presidential nominee.

The 'Since Debates Were First Televised' was to narrow down the options to prove my point.

Let's just have a civil war already and wipe the slate clean. This place is cooked the next time dems get in office.

Are you some sort of ground hog person who only pops his head above ground every four years and has just surfaced ?

Things are fubar and it's only been a year .

I'm reminded of Trump in 2015 saying he's thinking about running for President.
It was perceived to be a joke.

Then he announced he's running for President, and it was still perceived to be joke.

Then every news show wanted to interview him because he was instant high ratings, because Trump is entertaining. Always has been.
And his poll numbers started to rise, and he wasn't a joke.

I can see a similar formula for Steven A Smith, especially since his main competition is Gavin Newsom.
I'm not convinced AOC is going to run because she looks like she's going to continue to climb the rungs of the House Leadership.

Any thoughts?

He probably has a better track record than Trump so I don't see a problem with it

Smith would be an upgrade over Kamala at least. I bet he could have a good run in politics, he can spin hot air. However, Disney did allow KK and Feige to trash their once Marvel and Star Wars cash cows, so yes, there be clowns in that boardroom lol

Another way to look at it is.... In the primaries he'd be a moderate.



Looking back at Obama & Biden when they were running they were posing as moderates, and they won.
They weren't the crazy leftists who want to trans the kids, men in women's sports, to raise taxes beyond what people could afford, or the dozens of others of pro-communist social-degradation policies.

Kamala tried running away from her leftist record, and lost badly.

Newsom has been trying to moderate this year with having agreeable conversations with right-wingers on his podcast, and he's been failing. He won't be able to escape his record.

AOC? Forgetaboutit. Zero chance of her attempting to go moderate. She's leftistism personified. Yet another reason why I doubt she runs. Doubtful she's even get the nomination, even more doubtful she beats JD Vance.

Steven A Smith (SAS?) would automatically be the reasonable moderate with a much higher chance of getting the support of mainstream Democrats support in the primaries.

BTW... It might blow most Democrat's minds to realize this, which is why most will deny it... But Trump in 2015 & 2016 ran as a moderate-republican. He never claimed to be conservative or libertarian, he rejected those labels and his polls soared even amongst conservatives & libertarians.

As of now, Newsom has a 90% chance of winning the nomination. If SAS gets in, is prepared, does dozens of interviews every week, works on his stump-speech for rallies, and is prepared for combative debates... That 90% chance for Newsom will lower dramatically throughout 2027 and into 2028 throughout the primaries.

I'm not predicting it.
I won't quote these posts saying 'I was right' like I predicted at the beginning of 2024 Biden wouldn't be on the ballot in November... But I can see the potential for it happening.

Only a woman hater would look at her and say this the best Woman have to offer from the entire American history.

Words cannot describe how unpopular she would be long term if she won.

She will piss of plenty of non MAGA, guaranteed.
