George Santos - GOP presidential nominee in 2024?

Given how much Santos has accomplished thus far in his career - degrees from colleges he never attended, animal rescue advocate, volleyball star, etc. - imagine how many even more impressive achievements he'll be able to rack-up over the next two years.

Will presidential wannabes like DeSantis or Trump be able to compete with the man who, within the next twenty-four months, will have won several Nobel peace prizes, penned a dozen bestsellers, single-handedly saved five hundred orphans from a burning building, and cured cancer in his spare time?

In view of the whack-jobs the GOP has embraced over the past few years, it is totally within the realm of possibility that the ultimate whack-job will be their presidential nominee in '24 - and that Republican voters will come out in droves to support him.

As an elderly friend of mine used to say of such circumstances, "More true than funny."

We all laughed at the idea of a blowhard like Trump ever being elected POTUS - and yet it happened. It's time to stop laughing.

Herschel Walker lied, parallel to George Santos.

Walker lost and Santos won.

New York is supposed to be more sophisticated and more savvy than Georgia (no offense, Georgia).

Walker was called on every single lie. (OK, he almost won)

Is every lie by a Republican a "white lie" from hereonin?

$55000 a year to being able to loan his campaign $700,000 the next year. Trump inherited multi millions and
went bankrupt multiple times.
