We come pretty close to that where I work!

I can see him doing well in the prmaries, but losing the nomination to DeSantis and the response will be predictable.

It's 84lives.

Wokeism makes assholes gravitate to Trump. It is annoying to moderates, but I doubt it makes them vote for extreme right wing Republicans. Even if it does make some of them to do so, it gets cancelled out by the annoyance of the anti-wokism reponse.

Trump lost his token Black female. She's upset because he was rude to her and won't ever admit he's wrong about anything. LOL

My mother liked McGovern. My father thought politics was stupid. I am a mix of the two.

Trump is neither moderate nor conservative. He has no political philosophy at all. His only interest is himself. I still maintain that if he thought liberals would fall for his act, he would have originally run as Democrat

I know that white dudes like strong men. What's hard for me to believe is they can't see that Trump isn't that.

White dudes still like him. It's everyone else that is voting against him. I am with you of course. I have never ever seen any good in him at all and have never understood why so many have fallen for his act.

yeah, that's a problem. They won't though because he gets them clicks.

He hasn't gone away since he started running his mouth back in the 70s, but I think he's got to lose some political relevance at some point if he keeps losing. I think the lack of violence might be fear of God.

Another thing that happened is that this site became more sabermetrics oriented and in my experience it seems that conservatives tend to be less interested in sabermetrics. (And yes Edman , I know there are exceptions!) Thus, it might be that some people left because they didn't like the sports discussion as opposed to not liking the politics.

I remember thinking this was a pretty conservative board at one point. I tend to be liberal, but I don't support any party and am not very knowledgeable about politics, so I didn't comment much back then. Three things happened when Trump came along: (1) Some of the smarter conservatives left because Trump is a nut job and a fraud and not really a conservative but rather an egomaniac who is incapable of thinking beyond himself. They couldn't defend him and they still disliked the other side, so there was nothing left for them, (2) A few people started becoming more liberal for various reasons (3) Most of the conservatives who actually supported Trump were just trolls who didn't contribute anything. Thus they were chased away. I think if the Republican party drops Trump and gets back to talking serious issues again, you'll see some conservatives return and there might be good debates again.

yeah, I know there are some good fans who expressed surprise. I just think the Tigers have been so terrible for so long, we have forgotten what a real ball player is!

Personally, I never considered him to be anything other than what he is.

It is amazing how much discussion there about Reyes all over the place. He is just a fifth outfielder and fans are talking like this trancation is a big deal.

Just checked some older photos of him and I think you are right.

Jeff Passan is like Jason Beck. He's been around forever and still looks like a college Sophomore blogger.

I believe there is a good chance. He seems to fit in with the kind of staff Harris has been putting together.

Step brother Reyes is gone already.

I don't think they've had the grave-tilde combo since Ordonez.

Andy Ibanez sounds like an another Castro, but you've got to love that he has not one but two accents in his name - accents grave and tilde.

I was not expecting Reyes back next year, so it's not a big surprise. He is OK as a bench player, but he doesn't seem like the kind of player that Harris has been talking about. He has no plus skills and he's no longer at an age where you'd expect him to develop any.

Bill James just tweeted today that Joc Pederson was the most underrated player in baseball. looks like Joc finally got some respect!

I don't know about "supposed to do" but it's what they all do or try to do.
