POTUS 45.17 - Section 4 of Amendment 25

Re: POTUS 45.17 - Section 4 of Amendment 25

Different Topic.

Read in the paper yesterday that Turtle Boy is indicating that there is no way in hell that Congress won't raise the debt ceiling. I would imagine to do that he'll have to make it clean so he can get the Democrats to support it. That'd be political suicide for him but he's used to that. Republicans are like zombies. No matter how much they try to kill themselves they never die.

And then I saw this gem.

At a rally in Phoenix, President Donald J. Trump threatened to shut down the government if Congress did not agree to finance construction of a Mexican border wall.

If that **** is in the debt ceiling bill Turtle Boy will get zero Democrats to vote for it.

This probably says a lot about me, but I don't think he's that boring and uncharismatic. I'm not sure any of the three you mention are a good comparison to what the 2020 election will look like. I would also add that any of those three likely would win 2020 in a landslide(against Trump at least.)

Me too I'm sure. I like Hillary. That puts me in the 1% of the population category.

If you're into policy you don't think they're boring. You and I are into policy. That puts us in a 1% minority among voters. Half of the voters in this country can't spell "policy,"and half the people who can are watching this instead of the debates.

I said "the most". I didn't say how much.

That is the Ds problem right now: who's truly their best hope? The senior Senator from NY?

He wouldn't have much of a chance because of his religion and views on gun control, which is a shame because I think he's actually pretty likable. He's pretty reasonable on the vast majority of issues too.

More proof the qualification for POTUS is not related to being a horrible human being.

Oh, yes it is. We hired the unqualified one. And he proves it every single ****ing day. It's like Groundhog Day.

The way the primaries are covered now everyone is going to know who the Democratic nominee is by July 2020 and that's all that matters. Christ, people know who John Kasich is. Before the election his wife probably forgot his name half the time.

No he wouldn't. He'd play as well as Al Gore, John Kerry, or Bob Dole did. He's a boring uncharismatic old white guy with tons of political baggage.

Your concern trolling sucks.

No normal person in this country outside of VA knows who McAuliffe is.

I'm just so happy we dodged the bullet and hired the guy with the real chops. He's a treasure. Right behind Lincoln. Just ask him.

After Charlottesville McAuliffe has the most name recognition.
Only the deep party wonks know the other potential names right now.

McAuliffe

- did all the right actions in Charlottesville for his base
- is Governor of a key state that needs to go blue for a D to win
- would have the Clinton machine behind him

Don't disregard him.

And you'll still say BSABSVR, because the Dems nominated another boring old white guy with a political machine behind him.

So, yeah, pardon me if I think the resident Fark Independents(tm) are full of crap.

If not being a horrible human being was the qualification for President, Scoob, you'd be.

Oh. Wait. You're a Gopher fan.

Puts me at the bottom of the evolutionary scale I'm sure. Right above North Dakota fan.

I'd vote for him. Bernie voters won't. It'd be another loss.

What did you think of Trump's odds leading up to the election? It's important to leave your personal views out of who has the best chance. McAullife would play well in a lot of the swing states where the election will be won or lost.

No he wouldn't. He'd play as well as Al Gore, John Kerry, or Bob Dole did. He's a boring uncharismatic old white guy with tons of political baggage.
