Does anyone have an explanation for Chafee? Is he bored or just delusional? Does he have a billionaire friend ready to dump wheelbarrows full of cash into a PAC? edit: or is a failed Presidential campaign now basically an internship for a talking head gig?

I think that's his route now. He doesn't want the VP seat apparently as he outright called Clinton out for Iraq. I think his career is dying and he wants speaking gigs.

America wants a frumpy politician that buttons their coat once in the middle and runs out on stage. That's not an accident.

Also, associating knowing how to wear clothes and look good with class status is, itself, bougie as gently caress.

In a country that bombed union workers from airplanes for trying not to be bougie as gently caress. We're bougie as gently caress and if anybody is wearing non-American made suits that is the true dispute.

Talking about which ways to wear suits are and are not bougie? Does it smell like LF in here to anyone else right now? The way I wear suits is the socialest.

I'm desperately waiting for a candidate that says "gently caress it" and wears nothing but Hawaiin shirts, because that poo poo is comfortable and I want my Commander In Chief to not be fretting with his corporate monkey suit.

I want my Bernie Sanders.  The Clintons are seriously Machiavellian. Why would Democrats trust her? I mean, I get it, some really want a woman president, but why not Warren when she runs? We know she will at some point.

I believe Bernie will retire with no Presidential win, but I hope I'm wrong, and he goes back to Vermont with his head held high, that he helped make Clinton think about how not-fully right-wing the electorate has become, compared to say when she was First Lady.

Joementum posted:Move aside, Scott Walker. I am a fan of Rick Perry, who as it happens is not all that much like my brother with the same name.. but yeah he 'seems presidential' which one might think 'doesn't matter' but actually is an important characteristic. Jimmy Carter never 'seemed presidential' & he was somewhat ineffectual, while GWB mostly just seemed presidential and let others do the dirty work for him

Martin pleasequote:O'Malley kept up the heat in appearances on ABC over the weekend and on Monday. He told host George Stephanopoulos: "I believe that the presidency is a sacred trust, and I believe that we are best served by giving the choice of who our president should be to the people of the United States and not to the big banks on Wall Street."

Bowties are just a way to signal "rich and trying to look suave" to other rich whites. Edit: Much like a Rubio campaign button.

Bow ties are for attending events that require them by regulation, people who want to be like Tucker Carlson, children, and sedan chairs' aforementioned political maverick wannabes. Also Pee-wee Herman, so it's not all bad news.
