He’s literally one of the wealthiest members of Congress with a net worth of like $80 million.

OTOH he unseated Erik Paulsen who was a snake, but OTOH he’s a centrist DINO

MBA’s are worthless as an education, but they’re even more worthless (for ghoulish jobs and stuff) when you don’t get them from one of the prestigious universities. And this dude goes and gets one at the university of Minnesota.

“I think President Biden has done a spectacular job for our country, but it’s not about the past. This is an election about the future. I will not sit still, I will not be quiet in the face of numbers that are so clearly saying that we’re going to be facing an emergency next November,” Phillips told CBS News in a clip posted online.

Literally the opening line of the piece. Dude is just a polls-guy. He looked at the polls and said “Biden stock is down! Sell, sell, sell!” And when the rest of the party didn’t sell, he decided to put his money where his mouth was.

He’s a member of House leadership, a party loyalist, and a bourgeois fuck, but he’s got a pair of eyes and knows how to read the writing on the wall. Biden is going to underperform 2020 and has a very real opportunity to tank the rest of the ticket. Phillips probably couldn’t explain why, except to say “Old is Bad. Doesn’t poll well.” But he can still see what the rest of the party is too blind or senile to accept.

I’m so glad we get to chose between multi-millionaires for our next president, way better than the dictatorship in China.

My first thought was “budget Ron DeSantis isn’t real, he can’t hurt you”, but there he is.
