Mike Gravel forms exploratory committee

[Skye]

Jesus, his twitter account seems like it's run by an Atlas user with a maroon avatar.

It basically is.

So, a bunch of rich white edgy kids with too much time on their hands? Privilege at its finest.

Who?

don't blaspheme against our Lord and Savior, please

I said something like this only a few days ago in another thread but:

How are things possibly getting even weirder than they were before?!

[Sestak]

Someone pin this please.

I genuinely really like Mike Gravel. I would unironically consider voting for him if he were, say, 15 years younger.

[Crumpets]

1) I love that his Twitter doesn't even have a blue checkmark.

2) I was talking to someone from Russia about this today, and her first reaction to the news was to burst out laughing and tell me about a time she met Mike Gravel and he tried to push 9/11 trutherism on her.

I just learned his name isn't pronounced like gravel the rock fragments. 

[Famous Mortimer]

A Jewish Communist site just called out Gravel for his connections to Ron Unz and Lyndon LaRouche.

The 17 year old put out a statement condemning anti-Semitism and it was funny because it was the first statement from the 17 year old where he talked about Gravel in the 3rd person and wasn't pretending to be him.

Yep. It's "gruh-vell"...I think.

Have you seen this guy's ads from 2008? They're wild.

Look up the kid who's running the operation, he's the face of privilege And is it honestly that surprising? Sure, it could be wrong, but usually rich white kids are the only kids who'd have the time and resources for this sort of sh*t. So when I heard of these edgy school kids I was pretty confident that's what they are.

Does Gravel actually want the presidency? So given he is acknowledging he'll drop out, what happens if he somehow gets a lot of momentum and an actual chance of winning? Does he stay in then and go big or drop out before things go too far?

If he gets a lot of momentum, I suppose he will run with it like Trump did, and it may launch him to the White House. Yes, it seems far-fetched, but we now know that Trump only launched his campaign at first to increase his name recognition, asset value, and to secure some television deals............until he started outperforming his sixteen primary opponents.

Gravel is not the narcissist that Trump is, but if his grassroots progressivism launches him to the nomination, I don't see why he wouldn't accept it and choose a younger VP with executive experience. Gravel/Inslee? Gravel/Buttigieg? Gravel/Hickenlooper?

Well, he's not going to choose an older running mate. Bernie is over a decade younger.

Has anyone made a thread asking if he could win 500 EVs against blumpf yet?
