Here’s my take… I don’t think Trump really wanted to run for President again, but is doing so to: 1) Attempt to shield himself from indictment, which also explains why he announced so early (way too early). 2) Attempt to keep Truth Social afloat (it is on life support now). There’s a lot of private investor money tied up in that project, and if he announced he wasn’t running, that would likely be the end of TS. Additionally, there are a lot of people whose existence is dependent on Trump being relevant. I’m sure they’ve been in his ear for the past two years. They don’t have his best interests at heart. I watched his entire announcement speech the other night, and did not see the fire that he had 6 years ago. It’s also clear that his 2016 tactics (nicknames, bullying, etc.) aren’t going to work this time. People aren’t afraid of him anymore.

Yeah…my whole point is Blake has a team full of minivan bait, so the Bodie pimping sets up the possibility of Blake having 3 finalists.

Trump underperformed in 2016 and 2020 too. I also thing he hurts the other GOP candidates on the ballot, but that’s a different discussion. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/it-s-not-just-2022-trump-has-underperformed-in-every-election/ar-AA14bGQn

Interesting read…. DeSantis gave the keynote address, last night, at the RGA conference in Orlando. There are quotes from other Governors in here. I don’t sense much excitement for Trump ‘24. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/16/desantis-trump-2024-election-00067834 Sounds like they flooded the airwaves with this ad in the closing weeks. Lots of people have told him it’s the best political ad they’ve ever seen. Casey is his secret weapon. That is why Trump World is reportedly testing out attacks on her. Good luck with that!

When I scroll through the reacts on Facebook, and look at the names, it seems clear that a decent percentage of Parijitas views/reacts are international. I’m not suggesting she isn’t a frontrunner, because I believe she’s definitely in the top 4-5 at least, but it’s something to keep in mind.

Putting Trump Jr and Ivanka in there is ridiculous.

I still don’t get Kique.

This is what I’ve been saying. Their entire existence revolves around Trump be relevant….Rich Baris, for example, who has had a really rough couple weeks, btw. He’s a fraud.

In terms of vote potential, this season is very lopsided, in favor of Team Blake, Team Legend, and Morgan. I’m still puzzled by the massive Bodie pimping, for this reason. They clearly want him in the finale.

How do you know? It was all taped.

Oops…I forgot about Carter! Yes..he has lots of range.

The only under 18 male to win the show is Sawyer, who has plenty of range and took on more difficult songs. Cam was 19, but also a very seasoned performer. People didn’t really view him as a “teen.”

A large percentage of the audience will certainly give him a pass for singing those songs, but a lot of viewers still view it as a “singing competition,” and will want to see more. Nobody has ever won the show with a 1/2 octave range.

Things get more difficult from here, with only one week to prepare for every performance.

I know they say they call names “in no particular order, but it seems like the frontrunners usually get called first in the playoffs. I think it’s notable that Bodie was called first on TB. Listen for pitch issues. Do you hear them? I do.

All joking aside, it would probably be Brayden in an actual boxing match. Sure, he doesn’t have his grown man strength yet, but he’s 6’5” and athletic. The others either wouldn’t be able to get close enough to land a punch, or would wear out quickly.

There’s actually a sizable market for traditional country, just not on the radio. Even Chris Stapleton has a difficult time with radio. I just don’t think Bryce is very versatile.
