Sunday Thoughts

The 2024 campaign season was officially kicked off by what should be called the Great Iowa Tuckercide or maybe The Tuckering, like an M. Night Shyamalan movie. Poor old Mike Pence took the worst of it, mostly because he offended Tucker with his answers. Why his people sent him out there without the proper software update is a mystery. If smoke started coming out of Pence’s collar and his eyes started flashing red, it would not have surprised me.

Nikki Haley and Tim Scott, no doubt, are thankful that Pence made an ass of himself, as no one was talking about their terrible performances. Haley came off as a vacuous dingbat. I forgot how annoying she is when talking naturally. Tim Scott is the affable moron we have all seen in the corporate space. He makes the brochure look good and he avoids being too much of a burden on the people who have to get real work done, but the organization would be better off without him.

It will be interesting to see if Trump turns up for the first debate. Watching the Tuckercide, I doubt Trump has any concerns for these people. I do suspect he would like to avoid a shouting match with Chris Christie. There is not much for Trump to gain in an early debate with the midgets, but he can handle them. Christie is another matter. He is a fulltime loudmouth, and the media will be there to help him fling his poo at Trump.
