The decision comes after months of flirting with a campaign that could have complicated the 2024 race for the White House.

    There has been ongoing discussion about the ‘no labels’ group, which has been threatening to run a well-funded spoiler candidate for over a year.

      All their internal data must show any candidate they run will pull more votes from the GOP than Democrats, making their entire scam pointless.

        I’ve been hearing the pundits repeat this for years, “Democrats fall in love and the GOP falls in line.” It used to be a given that any Republican who got the nomination would get all the Right Wing votes. It took a convicted rapist who talked sh%t about actual veterans to make them change their minds.

          For some of them to change their minds. There are still many of them who are more than willing to vote for that scumbag.

            I know one that openly accepts the rapist because that doesn’t impact how he performs. He also tries to dodge it saying the Tara Reade accusation is on the same level as Trump’s rape.

              I love the logic.

              Obama besmirched the Presidency when he wore a tan suit. Trump enhanced the nation’s reputation by sleeping with a porn star…

                  This is one reason I don’t believe that Clinton ever used underage girls with Epstein. Clinton, Obama. and the Dems in general have been under a microscope 24/7 for decades. That’s why Dem scandals involve things like standing near children and dancing in college.
