hclasvegas: ...for Joe, to do the right thing.
Jeebus, did you actually read that article?
From your link: But for all Phillips’ insistence that Biden can’t beat Trump again, it’s unclear whence his own confidence arises. He only raised $1 million last quarter and has already had to lend twice that amount to his campaign from his own pockets. So far, he’s only broken through in right-leaning conservative media markets that love his border stance, his Biden-mocking ads, [no wonder you love him] and the false equivalency he’s made between his state-ballot troubles and the Jan. 6 insurrection. The audience for his New Hampshire debate with Marianne Williamson consisted of seventh graders.
The tech-bro billionaire set might be deluded enough to think that their money and influence can make a contender out of an unknown, uninspiring, Midwestern congressman whose primary message is “Biden is old.” But it’s weird for Phillips to think he can make it in the Democratic primary and beat Trump by kowtowing with people like Musk, who’s been parroting racist pseudoscience and boosting Stephen Miller’s “America First Legal” firm. Then again, Phillips isn’t really here because he thinks he can become president. He’s here to mingle with exactly these types—just like Vivek Ramaswamy was.
Phillips isn't even on the primary ballot in multiple states. Yeah, he's exactly what America needs: another billionaire with a pathological need for attention.
