(41,998 posts)My understanding is, hes waiting to see if, in his opinion, there is a worthy candidate, if there is not one he sees as carrying the proper message, hes in.
That said, He has faded into background noise somewhat, while at the same time still has millions of enthusiastic fans who want his opinion. If he decides to run, he needs to keep his hand in.
While I personally believe this is bad optics, and hes making a very big mistake; especially for potential presidential aspirations, he certainly has the right to do so.
Im not planning on paying any attention to it, bless his heart.
I will listen to Kamala Harris before and Stacy Abrams after. The thought of Trump getting flayed by two powerful black women before and after brings me great joy.
