Presidential Election

[sanfran22]

I encourage you to move to one of your European Liberal Meccas. Everything is perfect to the "T" over there and you should not waste another minute in this awful country with its conservative values. It should be cheap to travel today because of the Super Bowl.

I'll chip in for the plane ticket....

It would be cheaper to buy a raft and some oars and let him row to Cuba.

Not worth the risk. The current might shift and bring him back.

I wouldn't go anywhere unless I truly felt things were hopeless.

Luckily, I actually do see the tide turning a bit...

And I DO like America, the part that truly exudes liberty and the liberal ideology of doing as you please as long as you don't infringe rights.

I was in Vegas this past week and yeah....SIN CITY was everything and more of what I expected.

Imagine, a city where you can gamble, drink, and indulge in carnal behavior without moralists and conservatives "values" looking down on you....beautiful!

God bless liberal America!

Democrats will take an obviously less qualified Option B over Clinton if given the chance. They took a community organizer with only 34 months of US Senate experience over her in 2008. There is no reason to think that some underqualified, lesser known, younger opponent that suddenly rises up wouldn't get the same benefit of the doubt, especially considering Republicans will probably have the younger opponent and will use her advancing age and questionable health against her in the run up to the general election.

Are we forgetting that Obama is black? Do we honestly think the Democrats would have dumped Hilliary to get somebody like John Edwards or Joe Biden instead in 2008? The whole field behind Clinton this year is extremely white (whiter than the Republican field) and besides Warren they are all male as well. Combined that with their "war on women" strategy the optics of giving the middle to finger to the first legit female Presidential candidate not once but twice would be awful for them.

Plus it isn't like the Democratic field behind Clinton is young or anything. Bernie Sanders is old. Joe Biden is old. Warren who everything thinks is a chicken or something is like only 2 years younger than Clinton. Sure some Democrat could surge to the top of the pack if Clinton steps aside but most likely they aren't going to be somebody young either.

Also I'm not insulting anybody for their age or think you shouldn't vote for somebody because they are the older candidate but it is just odd that the Democrats are most likely going to be running out the older candidate and possibly much much older candidate. That just usually doesn't happen but it isn't some impossible rule that can't be broken.

It's coming lol....

Did you ever think that you are confusing the evil Christians judging you with your conscience trying to make an appearance?

So without getting dirty I take it the escorts are still a good time on the night scene

You might be right. I might be wrong. I am just telling you what history reveals. In fact (brace yourself) Truman and Kerry are the only Democrat nominees 60 or older since Samuel Tilden lost to Rutherford B. Hayes right after the Civil War. I repeat, Democrats don't vote old. I could be wrong, but if Hilary were to be nominated at the age of 67 I believe that would make her the oldest Democratic nominee EVER.

And don't think there isn't time to trot out a younger option. Barry didn't declare his bid for the presidency until Feb 10th and there is no requirement that anyone declare their bid that early. If the Democrats think Hilary is too weak of an opponent they could easily roll someone out in March or April and still have more than enough time to generate funding for their campaign.
