Have to agree.

I certainly understand your sentiment but the polling data (for whatever it’s worth) disagrees. In 2020 the polls weren’t even close. But we will see in November and then we will know the direction of the country.

Oh you know why. The voters of the Republican Party do not really like the PARTY we are talking the “sensible” republicans as democrats would call them (until they are running against them) Haley is that type and the voters don’t trust that. I’m not also convinced she would win. As soon as she got the nomination it would be all out war against her. So those poll numbers would come down and you wouldn’t get the maga vote so it would be tough.

We will most likely end up with President Harris.

Now the question is with Ichan who will buy our delivery slots.

Ichan will sell any aircraft you own, pocket the cash, get kickbacks from the leasing company that he sells them to and demand the right to sell tickets for 25% of the available seats. He is a nice man!

None of the betting sites seem to align with the “Trump won’t win” thinking in this thread. I don’t think Icahn would have jumped in with the belief that a dem would win, for the simple fact that leftist policy is bad for business, especially for jetblue. Between oil prices, M&A, striking down the NEA, bad Covid policy, inflation and an otherwise bad economy, sitting on 5 more years of this type of admin would be a brutal blow to his investment and not leave as many options for him. Just like the betting sites, I suspect he anticipates more options to sell the airline with a more business friendly DOJ inbound, one which his friend would ultimately be in charge of as the head of the executive branch. Or maybe not.

Never heard Icahn was in the Trump administration. What Cabinet level position did he hold? I follow him pretty closely.
