    Who fucking cares? He’s an ESPN host that Trump thinks should run for president. Is this the token black the GOP is going to put up in 2028 if they pretend to have primaries?

    “I think the kind of impact that I could have as a centrist, as a moderate, as somebody who believes in being sensical and engaging in common sense."

    Dear gods, save us from centrists. Sure, you’re the guy that can unite the Democrats and Republicans and get them to work together for the betterment of all people. Right.

    By the way, “sensical” is not a word you nitwit.

      I just assume anyone that says they’re a centrist is a republican that doesn’t want to admit to it.

        Your wiki page appears to be based solely on the presence of the word in the OED (which includes archaic forms as well as new words that have found common usage) and dictionary.com. I note that five examples of the use of the word starting in 1795 but none more recent than 20 years ago. So I stand corrected, I suppose. I guess it’s an archaic form that has resurrected a handful of times in the last 20-50 years.

        Btw, I’m not sure why they include the Dictionary.com reference on the wiki page since Dictionary.com does not include the word sensical. Neither do Merriam-Webster or Cambridge online dictionaries.

      The most important thing a centrist wants you to know any time they give their political opinion is how much more enlightened and intelligent they are than you.
