in the 2080 presidential debate a candidate will lose the race when it comes up in debate that they weren't cool enough to email their dick to everyone when they were 19.

Literally this exact same rhetoric was used against Andrew Jackson.

I forgot that this cartoon had him stamping on the Constitution too:



Somewhat more reasonable to apply it to Jackson. Then again, maybe the only reason Obama hasn't said "they've made the law, let them enforce it" is because his enemies never make any loving laws.

That was actually with respect to a Supreme Court decision ruling in favor of, if I correctly recall, the Cherokee Nation against white settlers.

It would be kind of sweet if Obama just went ahead and ignored the Roberts court.

Sheldon Adelson doesn't much care who's defining civilization's rules and leading (possibly) the civilizing forces this time, so long as they beat Rand Paul.

quote:

“The guy who’s now got the biggest challenge because of this is Rand Paul,” said Newt Gingrich, the former Republican House speaker. “The Rand Paul worldview, which I suspect will change, is just incompatible with reality.”

Though Mr. Paul will not formally announce his campaign until April, prominent Republican officials and groups are already organizing to undercut his approach. One of the party’s biggest donors, the Las Vegas casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, has told associates that he is open to underwriting an effort to stopping Mr. Paul, should he gain traction in the primaries.

This is why, despite his traditional qualifications, and a rabid fan-base, Rand can't really be considered a serious candidate. There are just too much party forces aligned against him. Mitch McConnell's not one of them, though, he's backing Rand's plan for a Kentucky caucus to get around the ballot issue.

This would be different if Rand could get all the west-coast tech money he thinks he can get, but he is conservative enough that I think most of the bigbux guys will ultimately balk at committing to him. Not like third-way dems are anticorporate, and Rand's social liberal credentials are not very good.

Mitch is probably just looking out for the Senate seat: Rand polls significantly better than any other Republican in the state, particularly with their bench clearing out in pursuit of the governorship. Massie (who could probably win the primary easily enough with tea-party dark money) would get his poo poo wrecked by Beshear and might have trouble with Grimes or Mongiardo or Adkins.

Anitere Flores, a Cuban-America Florida state senator recently featured as a rising star in the Republican Party, gave an honorary degree to Pitbull last summer from Doral College, where she serves as president. She said the Republican Party is where he belongs.

“Who wouldn’t want Pitbull?” she said

Once again, Republicans are on the cutting edge of what 50 year olds think that 30 year olds must think is cool.

Are there any Democrats that are called "rising stars"? The only time I ever see the term used in politics is in regard to Republicans, usually youthful ones, although Cantor was described as one for something like 15 years.

Obama got that moniker until he rose high enough that it wasn't really a useful designation anymore. Prior to that -- maybe Bobby Kennedy?

You'll also note that Obama was president of the Harvard law revue and a senator before being dubbed a rising star.

Whereas someone like Scott Walker can get that designation after being a college dropout governor with an axe to grind.

Guys like Walker or Christie are dubbed Rising Stars in order to fool people into thinking they are more popular than they really are and worth voting for since if everyone else likes them, they must be doing something right!
