    “This should not be about personalities. It should be about policy.

    Would be the first time since the mid-90s if he wasn’t lying, delusional or both. Probably both.

    And we have a record to compare,” Speaker Mike Johnson told POLITICO

    An abysmal record. One that doesn’t compare favorably to the merely insufficient one of the Dems.

    That’s technically still a record to compare, though, I guess 🤷

    Edit:

    It has to do with the competence of the person running for president, the relative strength of the two candidates and what ideas they have on how to solve America’s problems. And I think in that comparison, we’ll win in a landslide.

    Ok, he’s DEFINITELY delusional. Otherwise it would be physically impossible to lie THAT blatantly with a straight face.

      Just once, I wish that a reporter would have the integrity to just lean in close like LBJ intimidating a staffer, almost touching face to face, and then emit a single peal of pure derisive laughter. Just a single loud, half maniacal high pitched “UH-HAAA!”, close enough that they can feel the wind of it. And then just walk away. No follow-up questions, no segue way or thank you for your time. Just loud laughter and then the end of the interview, without another word.
