Yeah Walker is imploding fast. He tried to fly under the radar, but when his numbers started to fall, he tried to raise his presence by unveiling a healthcare plan to replace Obamacare that looked like it'd been written on the back of a denny's placemat in crayon. Even the usually pretty neutral Journal-Sentinel's article covering it was sceptical of his "If you're young I give you 1000$ and if you're old I give you 3000$ and no one is forced to buy insurance and the insurance companies can charge whatever the hell they want" plan. He's destined for the dustbin.

JT Jag posted:They do, but only if the same party has been given control of the Presidency and both houses of Congress. That is a pretty strong message that the American people want that party to implement some of their policies. The Democrats didn't make especially good use of the mandate they had from 2009-2011. that's why w had no problem privatizing social security in 2005

Dahbadu posted:Wrong, and here's why: Obama didn't have a gerrymandered-to-poo poo Congress to deal with in his first two years. States like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Wisconsin hadn't yet been redrawn to favor Republican districts that would weather any storm. Democrats aren't taking back the House unless every Republican in it has an anger stroke and dies, and without an absolute wave election they're not getting the Senate back either. Joementum posted:Quote of the day, “You know, a lot of the gangs that you see — this doesn’t hopefully pertain to you guys so much — when you look at Baltimore, when you look at Chicago, and Ferguson a lot of these areas. You know, a lot of these gang members are illegal immigrants. They’re gonna be gone. We’re gonna get them out so fast, out of this country. So fast.” ~ Donald Trump, turning the subtext into the text. Just in case anyone needed reminding WHY Donald Trump would be a loving disaster as President.

Kind of scary isn't it. I think the thought of a Trump President scares the poo poo out the Washington establishment. It would not make us any friends in the world, but we might gain some respect. I'm not convinced that Trump will make it all the way to the election, he has a lot of Hubris, and I keep waiting for him to trip over it.

Hence, ultramoney. *sigh* Trump is a billionaire, but there are a bunch of billionaires (with way more wealth than Trump) behind the GOP establishment. What's going on here is that Trump is basically the strongest GOP primary candidate you can get. He's the perfect monster, and although money is great and all, it's not what is making Trump the juggernaut that he is. Also, and I'm serious about this. I wasn't quite sure who Fishmech was up until now. I learn new things every day! Dahbadu fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Aug 21, 2015 |
