VH4Ever posted:So is this really the best the Democrats can do? Biden and Hillary? Oh, and maybe Martin O'Malley/real life Carcetti? Is the party really that pathetic aside from Liz or has the Clinton machine just bullied/beaten down anyone who considers running against Hillary? What's so bad about Biden and Hillary anyway? Is it just because the right has been browbeating the left about Hillary for like thirty years, or what? There aren't any *viable* candidates that are wildly different than either of them. O'Malley is going the Edwards route, minus the infidelity, and Sanders is taking up the Kucinich mantle. Those are going to probably be the two alternate options to the generic Democrat for people who want to vote for something different. I'll probably vote for Sanders, but I'm in Texas and my vote won't matter much by the time we get to vote. And besides, if the GOP keeps Congress, it really won't matter which Dem is elected outside of someone reincarnating LBJ.

Will Donald Trump run long enough to be in a debate? I will pray to God every night if it means that will happen.

Hahaha Reagan's dogs were named Victory, Rex and Lucky because he was an All-American android built by IBM as a backup plan to the Business Plot, not an actual man.

OctoberBlues posted:Can you really win a presidential election with extreme anti-gay views these days? I'm in Iowa and it seems that even the sane Republicans I know have finally conceded that gay people should be allowed to live as normal humans. Surely 50%+ of the population isn't going to vote for an idiot who supports the new Indiana law, right? They think they found a dogwhistle. "no no, this isn't about hating gay people, we're just protecting religious liberty...to hate gay people.". They think that if they can keep insist that screaming at gay people that you hate fags and they should get out of your shop is a religious right, no-one will call them anti-gay.

This is a good opportunity to remind you that the Coolidge's had (among many other pets) a raccoon named Rebecca given to them by the Alabama Congressional delegation for Thanksgiving dinner one year that Grace Coolidge took affection too and kept until their guests complained that it kept clawing apart their socks and they gave it to the Washington Zoo.

The real problem with Biden is that he's super old and has lost several times in a row (actually the real real problem is that a more viable candidate already exists). People rag on him for being a drug warrior but most of that was just him sponsoring some stuff in the 80s that most of Congress also sponsored.

Given Silent Cal's propensity for highly refined trolls, I imagine he gave it up with some regrets. e: Speaking of "Grace Coolidge w/pet"

zeal posted:i too anticipate the inauguration of the first American president to have sat on the board of directors at Wal-Mart i suppose, but the hillary/wal-mart connection was always a bit of a smear. the wal-mart board of directors meet 4 times a year and she got $15k/y for it. her record was, as the only woman executive in a business known for its discriminatory hiring, was to push for more women to be hired and improve walmart's environmental practices. i think people purposefully muddle that with huge stockholders of wal-mart trying to improve their bottom line at the expense of workers

Kasich  quote:The governor is confident that, in the land of freedom, we can find a way to preserve our religious freedoms and also live free from discrimination. As a member of Congress, the governor supported the 1993 federal religious freedom law signed by President Clinton on which Indiana’s law is based and, in one of his first executive orders, he prohibited discrimination in state government employment decisions, including discrimination based on sexual orientation. In our great, varied and diverse nation, Americans have always been able to find the right way to tolerate our differences and the governor is confident we’ll continue to successfully do that. (He did take out language Strickland had put in that prohibited discrimination based on gender identity, but it's at least nice to see a Republican presidential candidate taking a pro-LGB stance.  )

By the way, during the recent budget votes in the Senate, an amendment that would extend Social Security and veterans benefits to same-sex couples passed with 11 Republicans signing on. None of the Republican Senators running for President (Paul, Rubio, Cruz, Graham) voted for it.

This is the loudest dogwhistle ever though. It squarely identifies the GOP as "Party of Regressive Hatemongers" and I can't imagine this would be a good thing in places like VA, FL, WI, MI, PA, CO etc. with significant populations of moderate suburban folks who might actually be swing votes.

We need him to be Secretary of State.
