I predict a new "Kingmaker" in Republican party.

[gibraltar72]

The gong show will begin on march 1 when Mike Pence speaks at Christian Nationalist Hillsdale College. I believe every Republican candidate for President will have to kiss the ring of Larry Arnn President of Hillsdale College. You can already hear Arnns voice through dummies like DeSantis, Younkin, and Lee. Arnn is the ventriloquist speaking.

Hillsdale College has found the perfect scam to raise millions of dollars, portraying itself as all that is good and moral in America. Because of their outsize influence this small Michigan college has become a symbol of resistance against government, "as long as it's not their government" Arnn was instrumental in the production of the 1776 project that was offered up by TFG to counter the more factually correct 1619 project.

I predict a steady stream of Presidential wannabes will try to curry favor with Arnn by appearing at College to speak on topics that tickle Arnns fancy. Topics could be as with Pence Faith, destruction of public education, minority rule etcetera. Anyway I'm sure you get the drift. None of it is good for America as we know it.

1. I can see the policy influences, but does he bring money?

[gibraltar72]

2. I believe because he has tapped into big money from the right.

he would bring it by influence. I could be wrong, but i believe Pence will be first of many.

5. In my exposure to RW radio, they all shill for Hillsdale and run ads for Hillsdale.

To get those endorsements, I assume lots of money is changing hands.

3. I suggest everyone check out the history of Hillsdale for yourselves. Closets are stuffed and bolted

shut to keep the skeletons from falling out.

6. Sex scandal was a big deal

We need to harp on it.

[peppertree]

11. Typical

Arnn is an obvious homosexual.

Nothing to me - I'm bi, myself (and by myself!) - but it's an almost predictable fact with them:

The more fundamentalist and medievalist they are, they more you can bet they're closet cases (or more precisely, on the down-low).

4. Hillsdale wants school curriculums replaced with THEIRS.

DeSantis is already on board with that plan in Florida.

Huge profits to be made.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

15. That is what Noem is trying to do in South Dakota...

... using the Hillsdale blueprint for school curriculums, directed from the South Dakota Board of Education. And this news is a few months old.

7. An unaccredited pyramid-scheme 'college'

How appropriate.

[Duppers]

9. No doubt some states would like...

Some states would like to become theocracies. If you can't attend our churches, you did not belong here.

10. The "King Trifecta" in the GOP is Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Larry Ellison.

They will go 100% behind DeSantis, who will win the nom.

Ellison might insist on Tim Scott as VEEP.

[peppertree]

14. Ellison, in the dot-com bust, was asked how his net worth rose - while Oracle stock plunged 80%+

He smirked at the interviewer (might've been Maria Bartiromo) with contempt, almost disgust, and scoffed:

"I shorted the stock."

Obviously, Maria. Sheesh!

12. Isn't there a Hillside documentary somewhere?

Or is that a different bunch of vermin masquerading as religious advisers?

13. The Rethuglicans really have besmirched Christianity.

Nowadays if someone feels the need to tell me they're a Christian, I say, "Thanks for the warning" and run the other way.
