Burn-E Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 See Alden that attitude just pisses me off. Why would you vote for someone just because they're a woman if their political views are contrary to principles you believe in and their recommended policies would damage the country rather than improve it? And Mike no, there has not been a candidate running for President when no incumbent is running who acted like Hillary is. She sees herself and the Democrats view her as the presumptive victor even before the primary. No one wants to run against her. I hope it bites her in the ass.

So just to be clear, it probably pisses me off more than it does you As for walking the walk, talking the talk, I think she's making a smart move there. Risky, but I think it's working. Damn...someone beat me to the punch. haha.Ron's out, too old. But his son is running Unfortunately I don't think he's enough of a party favorite to get the nomination - here's to hoping.

Burn-E Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Don't count your chickens before they hatch. In spite of what the media is saying out there, for now this is a coin toss and there are many reasons why Hillary could easily lose, perhaps not in the primaries though we may yet see a challenger worth discussing, but definitely in the general election assuming she makes it that far. She's less inevitable than she and the media would like you to believe. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/clinton-begins-the-2016-campaign-and-its-a-toss-up/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn-E Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Alain, if you and Nate Silver were on Jeopardy, who would win? Depends on the topic. Baseball and Statistics he would kill me. Politics I think it would be a close competition except around the specific mechanics of polls where he dominates everyone in the craft. Every other topic it's probably a wash.

Burn-E Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Are we sure quid pro quo isn't Hillary's middle name?http://nypost.com/2015/04/20/book-claims-foreign-cash-made-bill-and-hillary-filthy-rich/http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/20/us/politics/new-book-clinton-cash-questions-foreign-donations-to-foundation.htmlThe donations, the emails, and we haven't even started yet. Oh what fun this election cycle will be. And you know what the claim will be? It's just the big bad Republicans attempting another hit on such a capable and talented woman.That said, I found this article very interesting given the source:http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2015/04/17/the-voices-hillary-rodham-clinton-didn-hear/gGhQmBvQygiiYJAnWUdIOJ/story.htmlNot a very flattering response to Her Highness' little road trip by a very progressive news source.

Burn-E Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Mike, you have a funny definition for Socialist. I know that's what he calls himself but Bernie's plans are straightforward Leninist ideals. Put a goatee on him and a Russian accent and he would fit right in with the Revolution of 1917. He speaks of socialist aims but he would clearly be willing to follow in Lenin's footsteps to achieve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
