He is a Canadian, just like Bieber and Nickleback.

He made winter travel through route 90 a loving nightmare for me last year! Mom had to drive by tons of freighters with ice constantly falling from the trucks in a two lane highway! All the way to buffalo! And that was after we got in an accident and waited in Albany for 5 hours!

MIGF and (Ron Paul's grandson-in-law) Jesse Benton were deeply saddened by this news.

Also, too, John Podesta is leaving the White House in February to work on Hillary's campaign, as if there was any doubt she is going to run.

Finally some concrete evidence that she's running!

If Obama somehow trolls the entire GOP base and electorate into granting Hilary a landslide election, he's going to deserve every little bit of his Nobel Peace Prize.

�Would you let Hitler live?� is a fairly straightforward question. The mainstream media should insist that Hillary answer it definitively. There is also the question of whether or not Clinton�s advanced age would preclude her from taking advantage of theoretical time-travel technology, even if she were otherwise willing to kill Hitler. Advanced exoskeleton technology could help to mitigate these mobility concerns, but it could take years to develop a working prototype.

Americans deserve to know the truth.

Well, that would've changed a lot of things, and Reagan might have lasted long enough to start a nuclear war.

Impossible. I recently read an alternate timeline in which Reagan gets a third term. He barely goes a month in before having several major gaffes thanks to Alzheimers, before resigning when he lets Nancy do some work. Bush Sr then loses to Mario Cuomo in 1992.

Are you telling me that Hilary Clinton's going to be as inefficient at fixing things as Obama? You'd think her spine of iron and vehement anti-conservatism would help matters quite a bit.

I don't care. The personal aspect of the candidate doesn't matter.

Candidates are bound by their coalitions. The party matter infinitely more than the particular candidate because the party provides all the staffers to head up the massive organization that is the federal state, and the party provides the coalition. Past these, so long as the president doesn't let the birds fly, them personally being amazing or an rear end in a top hat is of little consequence. At best it comes out in campaigning, but they always hide their real personalities anyways. I mean, do you really think Romney actually likes corn dogs, or that Obama was totally cool with people waving the confederate flag at him?

Clinton's views and actions will reflect those of her coalition. That means she will, at a minimum, seek to maintain the basic social safety net of social security, Medicare, and Medicaid in their current form, while preserving and extending the ACA. Taxes on the rich will stay at about the level they are. She will preserve the 2010 financial reform, she will move forward on climate issues, she will appoint center left justices like Kagan and Sotomayor to the SCOTUS, and she isn't going to shred freshly forged international agreements.

What she wants has very little to do with it beyond highlighting the relative priority and means of these.

It's what Obama is doing now, it's what W did for his coalition, what Bill did with his, what HW Bush did, etc etc etc.

And with whomever the GOP nominee is its largely going to be the same priorities for them: destroy the ACA, block grant Medicaid, voucherize Medicare, cut Social Security. Cut taxes in the rich. Eliminate the financial reforms and consumer protections. Abolish any climate regulation, defund any programs addressing climate issues, appoint more justices like Alito and Roberts to the SCOTUS, resume a hostile stance with Iran and have direct military intervention in the Middle East. Whether it's Cruz, Paul, Bush, or some other but the only difference will be the relative importance of these agenda items, how they achieve them, and the competence at doing so. It has nothing to do with what they might want to do; President Gingrich may want to focus on his moon zoo but it isn't part of this agenda so it won't get acted on past some symbolic motions.

The coalition dictates what the candidate does. Who they are as a person doesn't matter.

I call bullshit on this. Our presidential system, in terms of electability, has a lot to do with the candidates personality, as it dictates that candidate's popularity and thus voter's willingness to vote for that candidate, lest vote at all. Especially considering how many PACs and gaffes can make or break a candidate's electability. And that still matters. What you're thinking of in my mind is more of a british parliamentary election, in which the people do in fact vote for parties and not for PM candidates, which does mean in that case that who the PM is as a person doesn't matter.

Should we only talk about Bush and Clinton because no one else is going to win? That sounds boring. If Bernie talk is pissing you off so bad maybe you need to get some Xanax or something.

I still wonder if Clinton will manage to get through the primaries when compared to Sanders. Yes populism (for Bernie) can be a good thing, but I doubt he would get as many votes as Clinton next November. And how likely is Trump to run as a third-party candidate/the establishment jumps the ship in case he's nominated as a republican?

The things that would cause Bernie to win the nomination would be more than enough to give him a pretty easy win in the general; he'd be riding a populist wave and seeing massive voter turnout largely because he'd need those things to defeat Hillary in the first place.
