On the record: Tucker Carlson will run for President

The more I think about it the more I’m sure. Here’s the argument.

Tucker Carlson has an ego the size of the universe.
There is no pattern of people key in a network leaving the network and doing better. (I get his from the current “Pod Save America” discussion).
So, the next thing Carlson does has got to be an upward move, and that can’t happen in a news or entertainment network.
Despite the potential strength of his position, starting his own network is probably not on the table. Therefore….
He runs for President.

Chance of winning the Republican nomination if he runs? 80%

Chance of becoming president if he gets the Republcian nomination? 50-50.

Sorry if I just ruined your day.

Carlson suggests that white supremacy, the philosophy, is nearly absent in America. This assertion proves that Carlson has no spine, since he touts the white supremacist line at every opportunity. Admit it Tucker, you are talking about yourself.

And, historically, the smaller cities around Boston have been absorbed into the Beantown Borg over time. Charlestown, where the Battle of Bunker Hill happened (on nearby Breed’s Hill) used to be separate. South Boston was created out of neighboring communities in 1804. East Boston was annexed in 1855, Roxbury in 1867. Then Dorchester, West Roxbury, Brighton, Charleston, and Hyde Park by 1913. Over historical time, a lot of people grew up outside of Boston in a community that, by the time they died, was in Boston. Continue reading Fox News Lies, Dawchestah Rules! →
