    Maybe it's me, probably is me, but I'd have rather seen Kaine be the attack dog and let Hillary stay Presidential. (Trump just can't pull off "Presidential" even if he hired a stand-in.)

      Are these the same people that also say the government doesn't create jobs, and that stimulus programs are useless in spurring economic growth, and that those things are best left to the private sector?

          I'm not buyin' it. I think there is a fair measure of this:

          She refrains: "she's weak."
          She attacks: "she's shrill."

          SSDD for every woman trying to fight to the top in any profession.

          Hillary is an interesting case of a pioneer. Obama was like Jackie Robinson -- he had to be ten times better than the average president, and a hundred times more cool headed and patient, not to rise to the tidal wave of racism thrown at him for the last 8 years. And like Robinson he was, and he emerges from it without a hair out of place, while every one of his self-appointed Destroyers Of Uppity N-ggers has left the field looking like a dunce, an insect, or worse.

          Now you would think a woman would need to be the same, but Hillary has exactly none of that Zen Buddha nature. When you f-ck with her she'll either delegate it if you're not important or f-ck you back so hard so fast you won't realize until it's too late.

          This is a New Approach to breaking the glass ceiling. It will be... interesting.

            Like I said in the prior thread, this election is upside-down, inside-out, and reversed. With left-handed threads.
            Nope, has never happened.

              This is odd.

              Ted Cruz is, of course, a cold-blooded humorless lizard, an experimental virus grown in a vat of slime at Heritage Foundation and trained as a hatchling with electric shocks to respond to any question only with garbled misunderstandings of Friedrich Hayek or fundamentalist Christian bumper sticker slogans. He is a toad and a Tartuffe and a personification of anal sack cancer; a mincing, oleaginous clot of rancid mayonnaise in the corner of a gym locker, the cheesy sebaceous effluvia from a cyst on the vaginal lips of Phyllis Schlafly's moldering corpse, and yet...

              ... and yet I have never heard of him doing a stupid thing until just now.

                  It's admittedly a very fine line, but Romney defined the group but never tagged a name on them. He didn't call them "_______".

                  Mrs. Clinton is stuck with the "deplorable" meme forever by her own hand. It probably was a calculated move. I wouldn't have agreed with it.

                    He has his discriminator against the entire 2020 field. If Trump loses he skips to that nomination. He scoped the long game before anyone else and patiently stuck to the arc through 15 bitter months and now, right before The Pay Off, he wusses out?

                    What is he thinking?

                      C'mon, the epic "dealmaker"? What else could it be. Trump needs the Christian fundamentalist that may (massive assumption there) begrudgingly give their support to Trump. Cruz realizes his worst outcome out of this is a robe, because his national political career is over either way.

                          I don't think there's any way Cruz gets confirmed by the Senate no matter who controls it. He's hated by probably 85 of the other 99 senators. They wouldn't even need to filibuster. I think he'd lose the up-down vote without blinking.

                            No. There is no way there are 14 Senators who don't hate him.

                              Mr. Trump also included a close Cruz ally, Senator Mike Lee of Utah, on a list of prospective Supreme Court nominees that he released on Friday.

                              One person briefed on Mr. Cruz’s plans said that Mr. Trump’s inclusion of Mr. Lee was central to his decision.

                              This election just got a billion times more important for me. Mike Lee in the Senate is bad enough for me and I'm in Minnesota. On the Supreme Court? I'm outta here.
