Agreed. This may end up kingmaking companies with existing infrastructure like SpaceX.

Like everything else aside, right? It's a kingmaking cult of personality, without Trump you really don't have any hook, nobody else has charisma

Trump backed a woman with zero foreign policy experience to a seat known for a neocon who actually cared about defending our allies; policies for good and for ill.

If she loses tonight, it is stake in the heart of MAGA kingmaking and a clear sign that Trump cannot appoint heirs backed on a name.

Miller, Vought, Hegseth, and RFK are all on the table, in addition to Trump himself. Also, you have leverage now to do things like exploit Kavanaugh stops and Roberts' Kingmaking decision in 2024 to tie the current state of affairs to Trump's packed supreme court.

If she became a politicians wife or even the next president's wife, it becomes a decadent, bad regime because her family name is quite a Kingmaking package deal. She becomes spoiled, lazy, irresponsible, and a materialistic party animal, and a revolution starts due to-

That yielded a lot of yelling at minor candidates to drop out and do a kingmaking process outside of the primary vote itself.

The other unintended effect is for contests where one party dominates and people galaxy brain it to try to get two candidates from the same primary in the general.

There's a world where he was the Larry David of Broadway, kingmaking musicals and being a curmudgeonly old queen and instead his father fucked him up irrevocably. Shame.

That and the full economic might of the US fascist LatAm kingmaking apparatus, so maybe it kind of makes sense they aren’t paying enough to pull any problematic Brazilian bikini babes

I'm tired of the 3-dimensional chess garbage to justify Trump's confusing erratic behavior. Found this in a smartass blog I follow that presents MAGA "truth" as though it makes perfect sense. Jumping over people & kingmaking - checkers, not chess. Quick read:

Israel elections: Christian Arab community considers peace, public safety and affordability
Will Arab communities, representing more than 20 percent of the population in the State of Israel and perhaps 18 percent of its voters, play a kingmaking role in upcoming elections? Israel’s Stat-Net Research Institute projects a voter turnout of 63 percent among Arab citizens of Israel on Oct. 27. That would represent a notable improvement over the 53 percent turnout among Arab Israelis during the 2022 elections. In Israel’s parliamentary system, that could give the Arab vote a significant role in forming the next government. Within that Israeli-Arab voting bloc are Arab Christians, who represent 7.5 percent of Israel’s Arab community and about 1.5 percent of the total vote. Israel’s Arab parties could join a center-right coalition government led by the Yashar Party leader Gadi Eisenkot, former chief of staff for the Israel Defense Force. That would mean the ouster of the current far right-wing government led by Likud Party leader Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, including its extremist partners Jewish Power and the Religious Zionist Party. The political, economic and social challenges facing Israel cut across all sectors and communities, but as a tiny minority of the population, Christians feel increasingly vulnerable, said Wadie Abunassar, coordinator for the Forum of...

I’m glad people like the format, I’m fine with it being popular, but it really does feel like I’m playing the memory of fun rather than actually having a fun time. People played all these cool cards for these whacky decks but the format just slops everything into the same kingmaking combo pattern.

A bunch of socialists upset at taking electoral Ls, something that happens to every party and all the time, shrieked about only doing so because of a shadowy cabal of paymasters so hard and for so long that it just became accepted that such brainwashing kingmaking paymasters did in fact exist
