God, what a sorry lot the Democrats have on the "bench" waiting for Hillary to falter. And she's about as welcome as a bad case of the runs while on vacation.

America truly is a nation on the decline if this is all you've got to offer in the way of leadership.

A big and I think unfortunate aspect of how many Americans define political leadership is celebrity status popularity. A lot of people could do the job but not many of them are also political celebrities.
 
I voted "other" for perhaps you may come to appreciate a former president and allow them to become POTUS once more. If Hillary would not be POTUS then Bill ought to.
 
There are two Castro brothers in Texas..
This one is mayor of San Antonio..
I'm hoping he runs over Cruz in 2018 for the senate .
I think you're right. His speech at the 2004 convention is when he became the rising star of the DNC.

This kind of makes me think of the mayor of San Antonio, although I can't remember his name. ��
 
I pray that Joe Biden or John Kerry take the nomination. I really do.

How could the GOP possibly lose under those circumstances? :lol:

Review what happened in 2012.

Everyone said that Romney couldn't lose last year.

Who's in the White House?
 
Amy Klobuchar or Al Franken.




I like the guy, but I don't believe that Al Franken will ever laugh his way into the White House.

How many people in the USA know anything about Amy Klobuchar?

Which was delusional, and anyone with a lick of sense could have told you so. Romney, even is spite of being the best available, was an undeniably weak candidate. He was basically the Republican version of John Kerry circa 2004; technically qualified, but ultimately not "cool" or "charismatic" enough to resonate with voters in such a way as to overcome the residual popularity of the sitting incumbent (even in spite of the massive problems inherent to their administration).

Well'p, guess which problems both Kerry and Biden are going to run afoul of that Obama has not?

The Left has been so busy building up the Obama cult of personality that they have failed to account for the fact that they have absolutely no one available to fill his shoes after he leaves office. Even Hillary will only ultimately be able to present a pale imitation of the magic which brought Obama to power.

If things do not massively improve, or some so far unknown miracle candidate emerge, between now and the next election, any half way decent Republican candidate should be easily able to secure victory so long as they do not royally screw the pooch. The Democratic Party's offerings are simply that weak.

Well we can only hope not. **** Bush's and Clinton's, had enough of both.
We aren't a dynasty here, I mean we hope not.




I agree that the USA doesn't need to copy North Korea.

George Washington made the correct decision about this a long time ago.

....and nobody was more surprised than Romney-----unless I was Rove..:lamo
 
Schweitzer is currently tacking left of Clinton on the Iraq war during his trip into Iowa..
Clinton mouthpieces on MSNBC like Karen Finney are already trashing back..

If we elect another Dem. POTUS, the GOP House will simply fight whoever it is for four more years .




#1, there is no guarantee that the GOP will continue to control the House.

#2, if it does that is a good reason to put a Democrat in the White House.
 
I voted Biden cuz no one is the Democratic party will run. I would personally vote for Sanders, but he is not in the Democratic party.

I totally agree that Chris Cristie (For example) should be able to win without a problem.

But the voters might have a different idea on election day.

And the GOP might run someone way to the right of Christie, like Cruz.

Who I don't believe could win.

Personally, I think Rubio might have a chance. Ultimately, however; only time will tell. ;)
 
When Fox News stuffed it down his throat.. Even then he was in a state of shock...:lol:




Right.

The man said that he accepted it, but when did he really accept what had happened?

This was a guy who was 100 percent sure that Romney was going to win, it took a lot for him to give up that idea.

How can anyone not vote for a guy who's that happy?

He did tell us all to buy shotguns and shoot them out our windows. I love shotguns. I love shooting. He laughs quite a bit at inappropriate times. Drops F-bombs like a champ. If he wasn't a progressive, I'd say I need to have a few drinks with this guy at an adult performance center of dance and pole artwork and see where it goes. Sounds like a hell of a saturday night.

I hear you, I sure wouldn't turn down a few brewskis with the guy.

Just looking at history, who would be surprised if he makes one more run at the top job?

Heck, he's only 71, he could serve two terms and retire at the youthful age of 79.

Why shouldn't he go for it?
