Nancy is still so with it compared to Biden/Trump. Maybe she isn't going out at the top of her game, but it is pretty goddamned close.
No this isn't that strange. Elections are about appeal to the common voter not about qualifications, so any process which substitutes choice for elite control tends to result in superior results.
Hilldog's problem is that the final step still required popular approval.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you, I’ve had some great cookies, believe me. We’re talking the best cookies, tremendous cookies. But I have to say, these Girl Scout cookies—they’re just not what they used to be, okay? I’m telling you, they’re not. They used to be fabulous, folks, absolutely fabulous. You’d get a Thin Mint, and it would be a Thin Mint. Big, beautiful, crunchy. People loved them, and I loved them. Tremendous.
But now? What’s going on? It’s a disaster. It’s a catastrophe. The Thin Mints—let’s start there. They’re smaller, folks. Much smaller. I’m talking tiny. And the taste? It’s like they’ve lost their way. It’s like they’ve been run through some terrible cookie factory with no sense of flavor. Unbelievable.
And those Samoas? Used to be the greatest cookies. Incredible. But now? They’re a joke. The coconut is all dried out, the caramel is not what it was. It’s weak. Just weak.
And don’t even get me started on the Tagalongs. What happened to the crunch? It’s like they’re trying to make it all soft and mushy. Who wants that? People want crunch, they want flavor. It’s simple.
To be real, though, girl scout cookies have declined.
Nancy casually dropped in the podcast version of the article I linked that she had 5 kids in 6 years and 7 days.
mind==blow idk how you survive that level of chaos. Maybe this prepared her for being speaker
What the fuck really?? Does Lidl carry bootleg Tagalongs too?
Keebler also makes them, sales at Walmart and Kroger from what I've seen.
Grasshoopers = ThinMints
Coconut Dreams = Samoas
Peanut butter filled = Tagalongs
The worst part, imo, is that girl scouts make like 50 cents per box or something for their troop. Given the implied base cost there, they are better off going to the local supermarket, buying the knockoffs, and selling them at girl scout prices. Considering a good part of the distribution network is literally working for free, that is pretty damning, haha.

Watching the rerun of the rally in Arizona today, and damn. Walz had me smiling like an idiot so many times. And the energy when Kamala came up was just explosive. Talk about hope.
Each individual scout gets a little more than 50c but something like $4 of the remaining amount goes to the girl scouts themselves. The money goes to the local chapter that does all sorts of events for the scouts, properties they own (camps), and other various things that indirectly back to being a benefit for the kids. So its not like they aren't getting any of the rest of it.
Here is a link I found to a breakdown: https://www.girlscoutshcc.org/en/coo...-Proceeds.html
But it does change a little bit from area to area I think
walz was better than in previous rallies. phenomenal tonight. just a really natural guy with a ton of charisma and presence - seems to get better with more people around him. messaging mostly the same but he catered/tweaked what he said and i think everything he did was off teleprompter, too.
kamala handled the protesters far better this time around than she did in michigan.
Bro can dish it out but can't take it lol

Trump was supposed to take the stage at a rally in Montana over an hour ago and hasn't shown up yet.
