President Taft went on to join the Supreme Court. I hope that is the route that Bill Clinton's career will take!

My plan is to vote Bernie in the primaries and then in the election either Clinton or whoever's heading the Green Party these days because the state I'm in is solidly blue.

Under the vegetable posted:they are cool people but i have no faith in Hillary to nominate anyone who isn't explicitly pro corp/bank/dereg she will nominate liberals because the calculus is fairly simple. liberal justices will not overturn her policies, conservatives will. and centrists tend to drift over time so there's essentially no benefit to doing anything other than nominating the most liberal person you can get away with.

I don't know who this guy is, but if all of you like him so much I'm going to assume he's unelectable, so hopefully he gives Hillary a run for her money.

Under the vegetable posted:i don't think her policies will be very liberal at all, Concerned Citizen! doesn't matter. there's no constitutional basis to overturn almost any deregulation, so appointing a conservative/moderate gains her nothing even if they agree with her. but she still supports numerous government programs that are threatened by conservative justices, so she will always want the most liberal justice possible to protect those. basically game theory would suggest that there is no reason for a democrat to ever appoint a moderate

Do you think there will be a Democrat in the primary further left than our pal Bernie? If not then I guess I already got my vote figured out.

a vote for anybody but bernie is a vote for waiting around until bridges collapse before doing anything about it say to the hillary or jeb machines 'hey lets fix our poo poo' they say 'whats in it for me?' status quo motherfuckers getting rich generations can go by without the chance to put a philosopher king into power i sure as hell am going to jump in with both feet if not only for historical involvement

Nope progressives like warren said they have no interested in running and most of the the primary tier Democrats are the moderate let's not be mean to job creator types.
