BI NOW GAY LATER posted:This is better than Marco Rubio, the new fragrance by Channel or Aquafresh Romney We have Perry 2.0 but it also feels like he's running even more "Texan" this time. That kind of regionalism can distinguish you but it limits national appeal, like tri-state area candidates with think Joisey accents. George W. Bush kinda pulled it off but he was subtle about it compared to Perry. What Perry 2.0 is doing is neo-Texan technocratic conservatism with its emphasis on wonky policies, eyeglasses borrowed from the Bay Area -- we're not stupid, really!

That still makes more sense than someone like Jindal who has put in a ton of prep and legwork yet still completely forgot about that "seeing if more than a dozen people were interested" part, and apparently the fact that he is currently in charge of running a state.

Honestly Chafee should just throw in the towel now. I mean goddamn, that's just sad. Donald Trump, professional idiot posted:Specifically, what would you do to address the Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria? And haha loving Christ that is complete and utter bullshit, the only decisive and quick option to pushing back ISIL (not even defeating them, just shoving them back underground) would be a massive US (re)invasion of Iraq and Syria. Or a nuke, for a given definition of "decisive, quick, beautiful and surgical". You know, I'd love to ask "the Donald" if he even knows who the Kurds are.

I'm watching Rick Perry's announcement right now and man, he is sweating like a pig. He looks like he climbed out of a pool to give his speech. Also, whoever pointed out that Perry's logo looks like a baseball team's was spot on. sexy fucking muskrat fucked around with this message at 18:13 on Jun 4, 2015 |

I like Chaffee. It is sad. If not unsurprising. Also, goddamn Hillary supporters are the absolute worst lately. I've seen quite a bit of rhetoric lately that is essentially just "If you don't support Hillary in the primary, you should just shut up. She is inevitable, and speaking against her will damage the Democratic party and her chances to win", especially when someone brings up Bernie or O'Malley but sometimes just unprovoked. This is... not a strategy that seems likely to motivate democrats to get more involved in politics. The whole "inevitability" thing might be true, but it's not exactly building enthusiasm for her among anyone I know. Is it actually attracting supporters outside of my circles or what?

But she's still going to want the people she's not popular with to come out and vote for her in the general. She's going to want those who do come out for her to be enthusiastic and volunteer to campaign. Also, I find it amusing that Chafee seems to be the only one in the OP without a picture.

She definitely got caught with her pants down by Obama, but she's not going to let anything like that happen again, and she certainly wouldn't have been that blase about the actual general election. I've been saying for a while that she's a lot closer to Coakley than a lot of people would like to believe. - Both she and Coakley have made it policy to avoid as much unscripted engagement with the public and press as possible. - Both she and Coakley are "presumed winners" by simple existence, not because they bring anything special to the table. - Both she and Coakley have attempted to gain access to political office not for reasons of service, but so they can build their resumes for higher office. - Both she and Coakley are proven losers. If she's who the Dems nominate, then that's the horse we're running. Here's hoping that the "masses of democrats that love Hillary" actually show up to vote.

It's true that Hillary is pretty much guaranteed to win at this point, but Americans want to at least feel like there's the illusion of democracy in their political system. Also, the other candidates can float policy ideas that Hillary can coopt if they catch on or ignore if they don't. Anything too far out can be disowned entirely at no cost to her ("Yeah, that was Sanders' idea; he's not even a real Democrat!"). The other candidates are doing her a favor and if someone doesn't understand that then just call them stupid and walk away because there is no loving hope for them.
