If Hillary wins the nomination I would support her because she's not a Republican, but I wouldn't be enthusiastic about it because she probably won't fight hard on a lot of crucial issues like Citizens United and Wall Street

If he does legitimately have a bone spur, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't remember which foot. I have one in my neck. I have no idea how long it's been there; they found it when I got an x-ray after a concussion. There's not much you can do about it. If it starts causing serious problems I might one day have to have surgery, but most of the time it's just hanging out.

A Washington Post/ABC News poll here covered only Clinton, Biden, Bush, and Trump and only asked about favorability. No big surprises but some fun stuff. quote:Let's start with the bad news for Clinton. Fully, 53 percent have an unfavorable impression of her, the highest since April 2008 in Post-ABC surveys. That mark is eight percentage points higher than in July, though not as far from a Post-ABC poll in late May (49 percent). Intense views also run clearly against Clinton, with almost twice as many having a "strongly unfavorable" view of her (39 percent) as "strongly favorable" (21 percent). Basically, the base is split, whereas Clinton gets some more moderate/conservative love. But their numbers are pretty close overall.  And if you want to talk about minority voting, just goggle your eyes at these numbers:  Hilary is rapidly losing support among black voters (while still favorable to 79%), but has actually increased (slightly) her support among Hispanics (in no small part probably due to Trump's rhetoric). Meanwhile, Biden can't even crack 50 with Hispanics and Trump sits at 15%, which is actually an improvement from July, and in a period when Bush's numbers with Hispanic voters has declined! Trump is also rapidly losing what little support he has among black voters. Xenophon fucked around with this message at 14:34 on Sep 3, 2015 |

GlyphGryph posted:I'm not sure I understand this. Do you actually believe the politicians hold to the rhetoric they were "forced" to take during the primaries after they achieve office? Has this... happened? The Democratic party is a mess and Hillary is gonna run it into the ground if Obama's VP does not pick up the torch that is about to go out for good. A still youthful and proud Obama bromancing it on the campaign trail for Biden 2016 as they celebrate their 8 years of accomplishments together and what another 8 years could bring, with Obama's Chicago based urban policy think tank or w/e he is doing working in the private sector to think of solutions that an elder statesman like Biden who commands bipartisan support in Congress and appeals to voters of all races and tax brackets, and is considered a strong leader who puts America and our allies first on the world stage could realistically accomplish. Biden would probably staff his administration with much more progressive thinkers all around than Obama did too to get smarter and more effective policy, but still give lipservice to Republicans in order to get that policy passed which Obama has not done enough. Obama would probably be the first to admit that he used Biden in every crisis with Congress to get poo poo done, crises that Biden would probably never find himself in to begin with. Obama's Institute could do a lot of good if he kept his public profile up and had people who respected him running the country and taking his advice, Obama is a great guy but wasn't the greatest President. Once he's out of office he will probably be more influential than when he was loving POTUS with soaring likability ratings and maybe getting poo poo done how he wants outside of the whole "US Constitution" and "other people" that got in his way at every turn. I imagine it'd be like the Clinton Initiative, but without all that international embezzlement and blatantly illegal coverups by a sitting Secretary of State deleting all the evidence and laughing in the face of federal judges who call her cronies out on it while Wal-Mart and Wall Street use that weak yet always willing cuckservative First Lady and Director of Walmart Hillary Clinton as their loyal gutless proxy to control the executive branch of government for 4 terrible years before a Republican much worse on every position than Donald Trump (every Republican) takes over.

Boosted_C5 posted:Just as lovely as Hillary Clinton and every GOP candidate not named Rand Paul. Yeah, think you're going to have to go on a deeper dive here. In his own words: https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/united-states/2015-08-04/restoring-america-s-strength To summarize: it's a neo-conservative screed against Obama's weak-willed diplomacy. He promises to increase the US's involvement in a war against Isis, along with heightening the US's battle against Russia's invasion ofUkraine, fighting to push back China in the South China sea, and preparing for a strike against Iran (while hailing the benefits of the invasion of Iraq in 2003) to not only roll back its nuclear abilities, but also its political and strategic ambitions in the region. He rues the lack of funding for the military and emphasizes "American Strength" like its some sort of brand. In other words: he's not only toeing the neoconservative line, he's hollering it. Any idea where he got his slogan "A New American Century"? Well, probably from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Century. A refresher: quote:The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) was a neoconservative[1][2][3] think tank based in Washington, D.C. that focused on United States foreign policy. It was established as a non-profit educational organization in 1997, and founded by William Kristol and Robert Kagan.[4][5] The PNAC's stated goal was "to promote American global leadership".[6] The organization stated that "American leadership is good both for America and for the world," and sought to build support for "a Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity".[7] And quote:Kristol and Kagan advocated regime change in Iraq throughout the Iraq disarmament crisis.[22][23] Following perceived Iraqi unwillingness to co-operate with UN weapons inspections, core members of the PNAC including Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, R. James Woolsey, Elliot Abrams, Donald Rumsfeld, Robert Zoellick, and John Bolton were among the signatories of an open letter initiated by the PNAC to President Bill Clinton calling for the removal of Saddam Hussein.[19][24] Portraying Saddam Hussein as a threat to the United States, its Middle East allies, and oil resources in the region, and emphasizing the potential danger of any Weapons of Mass Destruction under Iraq's control, the letter asserted that the United States could "no longer depend on our partners in the Gulf War to continue to uphold the sanctions or to punish Saddam when he blocks or evades UN inspections." Stating that American policy "cannot continue to be crippled by a misguided insistence on unanimity in the UN Security Council," the letter's signatories asserted that "the U.S. has the authority under existing UN resolutions to take the necessary steps, including military steps, to protect our vital interests in the Gulf."[25] Believing that UN sanctions against Iraq would be an ineffective means of disarming Iraq, PNAC members also wrote a letter to Republican members of the U.S. Congress Newt Gingrich and Trent Lott,[26] urging Congress to act, and supported the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 (H.R.4655)[27][28] which President Clinton signed into law in October 1998. At least two of the above, Robert Kagan and Elliot Abrams, are the architects behind Rubio's foreign policy plank: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/05/marco-rubio-neocon-advisers-bush-council-foreign-relations So if you liked W's foreign policy decisions (until 2007 or so), then sure, buckle up on the Rubio train.
