Vidkidxyz,
"Cultural Marxism" is a term invented by California rightwingers around the John Birch Society, the sort of people we used to call "little old ladies in tennis shoes." It has nothing to do with Marx, and it's only "cultural" in the sense that struggles over Puritanism, patriarchy, authoritarianism, and so forth are sometimes called "culture wars."
It's really just a content-free, all-purpose, finger-pointing term. It means that A, the person who utters the phrase, doesn't like B, the person they are aiming it at. That's all. Nothing more.

"whomever has the best chance"? Uh, no. She's illiterate, and illiterate in a particular way, the way of pretentiousness. "Whomism," the habit of spreading whoms around at random to sound like a teacher's pet, is the habit of exactly that, the teacher's pet.
For the record the way normal people talk, "whoever has the best chance," happens to be grammatically correct. "Who" is the subject of the verb "has." The whole thing is a noun-phrase, and is the object of the particle "by" or "to" elsewhere in the sentence.
Why would this "Judge" lady be falling into hoity-toity teacher's pet phoniness? Seems to me it's a fault of everything about Fox: its opinions are bought and paid for by the rich, and are aimed at gullling working people -- and pretension is one of the tools of the con artist, which this woman is.

I think you were both sick to start with, before Hillary ever came along. You probably have Trumpitis, a hormonal upset that leads to irrationality, hot flushes, and running around in circles, stopping only to post silly messages on the Internet.
Hillary is intelligent, well-qualified, sane, and measured in her judgement. If that's not obvious to you, that's your problem.
See a doctor about your sick feelings, Barbara. Or just take a pill.

His father employed him as an assistant in every money-making venture he ever played a part in, then died and left him $200 million in government subsidized apartments.
Trump has never made a cent in real estate on his own. His only two real estate ventures not done with his father were the Plaza Hotel and Atlantic city. For a Google giggle, search on "Trump, Plaza Hotel" and follow through. He was like a kid in a candy store, paid too much for everything, and ended up losing the hotel, his yacht, his airline, and most of his inherited money. Atlantic City I assume you know about. Total grifter. Only his youth, his father's political connections, and general sympathy spared him from personal bankruptcy.
He didn't build any empire. He inherited an empire, and he turned it into part shares in a few buildings here and there. He's not even on any Top Ten list of Manhattan developers. Luckily his daughter married real real estate money.
He loses money running golf courses, and he loses money at every bit or retail and branding he tries on his own. There's a good chance the "Trump University" fraud will break him entirely.
The only money he has ever made has been on TV. He plays the part of a loud, pushy, imitation wannabe businessman. Easy job: he's just playing himself.
Cheers,

Just for the record, Richard, the word you're looking for is probably "Democratic." The Administration of the United States is currently Republican, Richard, as it has been for the last three and a half years, Richard.
You can call me if you ever want to discuss politics, too, Richard, but this isn't that moment, is it? Richard?
Did your mother make it difficult for you, Richard, giving you that pesky two-syllable name, Richard? Sooo sad. Richard.

@Donald Anglin
I just read "The Faith of Donald Trump" last week. It says that Trump has a faint and distant affiliation with Presbyterianism and that American Presbyterianism once, long ago, had an extremely reactionary, indeed medieval, indeed pre-Presbyterianism, aspect to it, of which the author would approve if it actually existed.
It made no plausible connection between the two themes, and indeed the book had a preface by a well-known right-winger expressing amazement that anyone would contemplate writing or publishing such a book. The publisher must have thrown it in for shortage of copy with the full satisfaction, illusory given my existence, that nobody would ever read it.
I point this all out to you to emphasize the inanity of anything Donald Trump might say, least of all to the United Nations on the subject of faith.

The Obama Administration was concerned over the fact that Ukraine, a new member of NATO, was governed by a bunch of ought-and-paid-for, utterly corrupt, pro-Russian gangsters.
Vice-President Biden was concerned about the particular crookedness of the top Ukrainian prosecutor, perhaps aware of his misdeed because his son, Biden, a high-powered commercial lawyer, had a major Ukrainian client.
The people of Ukraine rose against their government and threw the bums out in a massive election defeat.
Russia invaded the east of Ukraine, and Obama retaliated with the financial crippling of Russia, which remains in effect.
(The Saudis helped by running the oil tap full blast, butting the price by something like 70%, which devastated the joint. Sadly, it also crippled the good guys in Venezuela, and those troubles are still with us: Trump is lying about Venezuela at every turn.)
That's the essence of it.
If you want to post on public affairs, you should make a habit of reading a varied array of the press. Avoid Fox which is a rancorous sewer of right-wing propaganda. Take everything else with a grain of salt because they are doing their best but they're human.
Google and Bing are your friends: I encourage you to keep reading. As a general proposition America and the Constitution are sound, and people who make a career our of running the country down -- e.g. that "again" as thoug the country were not great -- are just self-serving dummies.

@circleh5173
The country was in good shape in 2016 -- which is why Hillary won the electoral vote by three million. Trump, like Bush before him, is an appointed, minority, loser President.
If Trump had acted responsibly on Covid, 2750 Americans might have died, not 200,000. All he had to do, at the time of the Woodward interview when he knew how dangerous it was, was copy South Korea. The Koreans had 300 dead in a population of 40 million. Prorated to the US, that's 2,750.
There will be a second wave, possibly worse, and Korea is in danger of complacency. The US, by contrast, is in danger of Trump.

"just"?
"opportunist"?
Nida,
Those are truly insane words to use, far outside the limits of decent daily discourse.
That you use them casually and carelessly is a sign that the Republicans have corrupted the daily politics of the Republic to a truly obscene degree.
Trump's "insult" of prisoner-of-war McCain was a gratuitous piece of filth which, alone, should have seen Trump simply thrown out of the debates. On the spot. On TV. Right there. That he went on to win the Republican candidacy was a sign that his personal filth, of mind and spirit, had rotted through the whole party.
To call McCain a RINO in contrast to Trump is by contrast just a bit of innocent nuttiness. A crazy little throw-away. McCain was of course a foundational and generational Republican. Trump far from being Republican "in name only" was and it a flamboyantly fake Republican, a traitor to, a strutting, puffing, yowling attack on, everything historically ad normally Republican.
