I wouldn’t bet money on it but I think neosho has at least a shot to take down a short handed Carthage.

And I think Webb city will beat #2 grain valley although I’m not sure that’s really an upset other than on paper.

The issue stems back to 2016. The Democrats planned on 8 years of Hilary and did not feel like they had to have another viable candidate until 2024. Trump won the election and it set off a firestorm in the Democrats because they needed a new popular candidate that they did not truly believe they would need to have for the 2020 election. Then it gets made worse in part due to their effort to derail Trump in the perception of the American public rather than focus on finding someone that independents could get behind.

Michelle Obama was probably their choice to groom for 2024 but the private sector of making money off of political influence has been nice to the Obamas, post-White House. Furthermore, Democrats need a candidate that is genuinely appealing to the old guard as well as the new guard of progressives. Remember, many Democrats are old-school farmers and they are grounded in their faith and service toward people, and not many can relate to the new "woke' ideals of the younger generations. Harris just is not relatable to people overall because she comes across as fake, disingenuous, and condescending. (Yes, I understand that Trump fits that mold).

All in all the Democrats are probably in more disarray than they would like to admit to right now. These individuals will not be considered, but could bridge a gap to the 2032 or 2036 elections: Steve Bullock, Joe Manchin, Andy Beshear, Josh Shapiro. Moderate, moderate, moderate...

• Researchers agree that illegal immigrants overwhelmingly have modest levels of education — most have not completed high school or have only a high school education. There is also agreement that immigrants with this level of education are a significant net fiscal drain, creating more in costs for government than they pay in taxes.
• The NAS estimated the lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) of immigrants based on their educational attainment. Averaging those estimates and applying them to the education level of illegal immigrants shows a net fiscal drain of $65,292 per illegal — excluding any costs for their children
• Based on this estimate, there is a total lifetime fiscal drain of $746.3 billion. This assumes 11.43 million illegal immigrants are in the country based on the U.S. government's most recent estimate.
• The fiscal cost created by illegal immigrants of $746.3 billion compares to total a cost of deportation of $124.1 billion, assuming a FY 2016 cost per deportation, or $67.6 billion using FY 2012 deportation costs.

Look at the quotes from the people who worked closely with Trump.
They just seem to keep ignoring all of that.
Manchin can't win anything in the democratic party. He made things too difficult for them in the first 2 years of Biden.

Your “I can have serious intellectual discussions with Trump voters” act is hilarious.

They voted for someone who thinks foreign countries pay the tariffs and he can stop both those wars in 24 hours. He said kids are going to public schools and coming home a different gender without parent permission. And they voted for him.
And you think they will listen to your logical arguments????

I agree. And I also understand why coaches make wholesale changes sometimes also. Most of the time, especially in smaller schools they see how hard a the kids work and just want to put them in a position to be competitive.
My little town in KS ran flexbone. We simply ran out of big kids up front. They simply were none in the school. We had skill kids so the change was made to the spread to get the ball out fast. But that example is from a school with less than 250 kids total. A bigger school should have fewer issues with this.

Pete is brilliant. He is an incredible debater and interviewee. He has a plan to fairly setup the Supreme Court to get rid of partisanship and he has a lot of other great ideas for fixing the government.
