> Trump's economic policies were decent, but his political identity was too extreme right.

Which is odd, because his ideology is not very right wing at all.

>What do you think of Nikki Halle ?

I'd happily vote for her. I think she'd make a fine president.

>I think DeSantis might be a safe bet for most people no?

I'd happily vote for DeSantis. I'm not sure whether I prefer him to Haley or not.

> Does Kamala have substance ?

No. She's completely out of her depth. She's got no business being anywhere near _any_ position she has held. She's the perfect example of "Failing Upward".

> I don't think i paid enough attention to Michelle's political takes

Michelle was, I think, the person who encouraged Barack's lefward lurches.

> RFK seems sensible and knowledgeable in that sense, has a bit of hot takes here and there.

Agreed on both counts.

>He appeals to both left and right.

He says things that both sides tepidly agree with. His real enemies are the fiscal conservatives, the neo-cons and the progressives.

>But I think he needs to up the ante on his leadership identity.

That's tough to do just after asserting that wifi is a health hazard.

>Why do you think DNC would bring him down ?

The DNC is owned by the progressives. The progressives hate RFK. He would interfere with their plan to tear everything down in order to build their left-wing "Utopia".

>I have a theory that CIA follows capitalism and post Nixon, its been with the DNC.

Not just the CIA. We've seen the DOJ, the FBI, the IRS, and the ATF all captured, to one degree or another, by the progressive agenda. It's not good.

> Another common argument point between right and left has been merits vs AA. Both sides argue on equality and unfortunately equality is a political tool.

One side argues for equality of opportunity, the other side argues for equality of outcomes (equity). The latter is poison. It results terrible racist policies.

> What do you think of Andrew Cuomo and why do you think he was kicked out of politics?

He was an embarassing loudmouth. His covid broadcasts made him a threat to the inner circle. His lethal covid policies, and his lack of (shall we say) decorum, gave them the opportunity to squash him like a bug. IMHO.
