I don't think so, their young are too bitter

"How many relatives are we having for dinner tonight, Dear?" asked the cannibal.

Biden probably isn't long for this campaign, either, what with his family dysfunction* and Ukraine collusion*.

 

     *Oh yeah -- forgiven... he's a Democrat.

It is interesting we haven’t heard much about Joe’s Ukrainian ties.

  Didn't you used to criticize the guy who kept calling Trump "Mango Mussolini"?

  Many did, and it was fair enough to do so for what it was. It's a legitimate criticism unless it comes from someone doing the very same thing. I have never seen you making up derogatory nicknames for other politicians.

 

  To me, it just seems hypocritical when those who call out others for doing something, then start do that very same thing themselves. Just an observation though. There is no law against being a hypocrite.

Needling/baiting ignored in favor of asking opinion about the cited article in first post.

His name should be "Beaten" O'Rourke.

That shortens to "Beeto."

Barney Frank: Beto ‘May Be Regretting He’s Straight’ After Buttigieg Boomlet

The Los Angeles Times noted this week that O’Rourke “spent four days meandering through California” and “seemed just as much in flux, searching for direction even more than votes in the state’s March 3 primary.”

O’Rourke—who was criticized for getting more media attention after losing his 2018 Texas Senate race than Democrats of color like failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and failed Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum—immediately apologized for his white privilege after entering the presidential race.

After O’Rourke opened his campaign by going on what seemed like an apology tour, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg mocked O’Rourke for apologizing for just “being born.”

Can someone self-identify as a homosexual for political benefit?

I did for sure.  But I also chastised people who called Obama names, such as O'bummer.  The office of the president deserves more respect, IMO.

 

That said, I do not recall a member on these forums who was ever over-the-top like Jim was about Trump.  His name-calling was simply tiresome.  I suspect it was due to an ability to effectively argue his opinions.  Simpler to call names and deflect direct questions.

Any Republican who'd try would be hounded from office or from candidacy.

Any Democrat who'd try would probably be hailed as a forward-thinking progressive trailblazer.

Look what Conrad Black himself says about Beeto (and the other B-level candidates):
