I (and anyone else I know like me with similar Hillary hatred) would either vote Hillary if it appeared that the GOP had a legitimate shot at winning, or third party if she appears to have it in the bag. I have zero desire to see this country drift further to the right of center.
I purposefully left out Peter Coyote. He's the one my Mom mentions the most, because I suspect she had a crush on the then Peter Cohen. But "dude from ET who now does a ton of documentary voiceovers" didn't seem big enough to mention. My Mom wouldn't be able to pick Kumail Nanjiani (he's Tom from Parks & Rec, right
out of a lineup. I'm kind of limited to alums from before 1970.
I haven't said anything else for at least 6 months. Since last summer Ive always thought Bernie had a shot.
As of today, what do you think the percentage chance that Sanders is the Dem nominee? What percentage chance is Sanders the next President? Just curious where you are at today.
Obamacare for 1
I always find these comments funny. (and sad)
It's as equally ridiculous to suggest HE made things better. It's not just one person in these things (good or bad) so dumb.
Oh i absolutely agree. I just would like some realistic pragmatism so we can actually accomplish things. Again it's hard not to like the guy so that's not really not my point at all.
Gee, really?
Usually the reason for such disparate treatment can be found in the underlying facts.
I honestly don't understand this point of view. First, there is no evidence to suggest that Clinton can get anything passed in a republican-held congress - she certainly has no history of bipartisan success. Second, the underlying assumption is that Bernie either gets everything he asks for, or he gets nothing. That is not how life works. Both Clinton and Bernie will get a portion of what they want. By Bernie askign for a bigger slice right off the bat, the portion he ends up with is likely to be much larger than Clinton's slice.
He's saying he wants more details on how Bernie thinks he'd accomplish all these things he's saying he'd want to do in the hypothetical where getting them past congress is possible. Are they internally consistent and feasible in and of themselves, regardless of whether congress would actually pass them? What sorts of repercussions would there be if they passed?Sinn Fein said:
I think congrats for being in the right place at the right time are certainly in order. It's dumb all the way around and I don't care if "that's the way it works". It shouldn't and their no need to feed the idiocy that it does work that way by using that "logic"
No. That is not how we recognize it. It has worked well under his watch. He deserves the kudos.
And I think it's stupid to go this route given how little he (or any other president) is actually involved. Sorta like blaming Obama for the gas prices....completely ignorant and lazy thinking IMO.
Well, there are a few things that a President can do that will seriously impact economic policy, especially if we're talking about gas prices. There's no doubt at all that the President's push for the Iran deal is a huge part of the current price of crude oil. Iran's re-entry into the world oil market has led to a massive drop in oil prices, first by speculators who were watching the deal potentially happen, then after the deal happened, by speculators trying to gauge exactly how much impact it would have on oil futures, and now we are watching the market actually change based on re-entry.
Lots of health care economists are analyzing his health plan now. I'm not sure about the other programs. As you might expect, some will say its possible and others will say its not. Its still valuable to understand the assumptions the plan rests on.
I'll vote for Bernie but if its Hillary vs. the GOP, I'm voting for Gary Johnson. I've never been a Hillary fan but my state (NJ) will go to the Dems no matter who I vote for. Therefore I vote with my conscience.
I'm no where near a Hillary fan.Sinn Fein said:
See, it's informed, issue driven voters like this that give us the government we deserve.FWIW:
My woman is an Obama voter. Not sure she voted for him during the re-election. She is an immigrant and a professional with a college degree. Absolutely loved Bill Clinton.
She has been totally checked out on this election. She watched a couple of the GOP debates with me but that is it. She works crazy hours and literally has paid next to zero attention this cycle.
She came home late last night and I had on the TV. She was sitting at the table eating some late dinner and she said..."God he is so old. He can't even comb his own hair. Why would anyone vote for this guy?"
PPP poll was done 80% on landlines with 63% of respondents 45 or older. Only 16% 18-29. If that's as good as Hillary can manage to do with that kind of sampling, she's in trouble. The poll also showed O'Malley with 7% support, and that 57% of his supporters would switch to Sanders while 27% would switch to Clinton.
Well, we live in California. Our impact on the primary on either side of the political aisle is next to nothing. Maybe this year one of the races will be close. I believe we just passed our filing deadline for candidates to get on the ballot in our primary.See, it's informed, issue driven voters like this that give us the government we deserve.FWIW:

We should strive for better.
It is like you can almost imagine yourself feeding him tapioca pudding and listening to his old stories from back in the day that he told you two weeks earlier...
You think companies are rushing overseas because our tax rates are too low?You think that is the issue/answer with what he linked?
