The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

but talking about how to really win

Some years ago, I drove over to the local GOP offices in Livonia, to hear John Kasich speak. Liked quite a bit of what he had to say, but, of course, he had no chance. There may have been 100 people there.

I also drove over to Lawrence Tech to hear Mitt Romney speak. He spoke in a central space of a building, not in a theater. Every few minutes, he would genuflect to Bush 43, for "keeping us safe", while I muttered "Bush is a fascist". There may have been a few more people there, than at the Kasich talk. I watched the coverage on the local news that night. They had the camera located, so it looked like the crowd was a lot bigger than it was.

I tried to go to a Bernie rally. Bernie had a sports arena at Easter Michigan University, in Ypsilanti. Incredible mob scene. Crowds everywhere. Traffic jams everywhere. I finally gave up finding a place to park, and went home.

Of course, Bernie had no chance, because Hillary controlled the party machine, and the "super delegates", so, what "We The People" said, didn't matter. Polling also showed there was only one Dem, that Trump could beat: Hillary.
