quote:Speaking in Derry, New Hampshire, Tuesday, Bush acknowledged that when his brother President George W. Bush attempted to privatize Social Security in 2005, he met great bipartisan resistance. Joementum posted:“My brother tried, got totally wiped out,” Bush said. “Republicans and Democrats wanted nothing to do with it. The next president is going to have to try again.” E: Meant to do a partial crosspost in to USPol, and edited my post a little. I really am questioning Jeb's supposed "inevitability" if he can't even dodge the most obvious fuckups from his brother's presidency. fade5 fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Jun 17, 2015 |

From FiveThirtyEight this morning, but: Donald Trump is literally the most disliked candidate that has run for president in the last 35 years. His main contributions to the race will be to sling mud, force Fox to come up with different rules for getting into the debates, and provide laughs for the Presidential Primary thread on something awful dot com.

Fair enough, but Trump's particular brand of aggressive posturing could really take advantage of Hillary's vagina-having in some particularly slimy ways. Christie used to worry me for the same reason before he imploded / failed to lose weight.

Someone posted a more elegant phrasing of it earlier, but the thing about Trump is all he is really doing is taking the mindless babble you see from your Sunday morning talking heads and rear end in a top hat op-eds, and saying it the way it would be phrased by your usual Jay Leno Jay-walking guy on the street would. It's like a variation on the quote about Buckley being an intellectual by virtue of saying the same thing as Bull Connor but without a southern accent. What is the difference between Trump declaring he has a secret plan to beat ISIS that he won't share but the problem is Obama is too much of a chickenshit to implement it, and Krauthammer saying he has an in depth strategy too long to go into here but the problem is Obama won't LEAD and MAKE HARD CHOICES? What is the difference between Trump's message of "I'm worth 9 billion therefore I am better than you" and David Brooks about how being wealthy is linked to a better cultural morality that provides a better citizen? What is the difference between Trump's most inane nonsensical blather, and anything Tom Friedman says? His patois may be different but the substance is the same

The GOP's been trying to disgrace her for more than a decade at this point, and I doubt a parasitic tribble and its host human corpse are going to get under her skin. Personally, I suspect that the GOP is going to have a tightrope to walk against Hillary if they want to keep an appreciable portion of white women voting for them.

They all say they want to build a wall on the Mexican border. Only Trump has said how he'll pay for it. Granted, his plan is a 35% import tariff, but it's a plan!

Yeah, whether you like her or not, Hillary Clinton's already weathered much, much worse than anything that withered hairpiece can throw at her--and if anyone will let slip some dumbass misogynist remark that would make the wives of a bunch of conservative white men suddenly feel much more sympathetic towards Hillary, my money would be on Trump.
