My Imaginary GF posted:Obama has had his policy influence whittled away by his repeated changes of direction and focus from 2009 to 2014 on the Democratic Senate majority. Now, all Obama has left to influence is foreign policy and appointments. You're never getting that library, and neither Obama nor the Democratic party will suffer a whit of backlash from it.

evilweasel posted:Yeah, he's burned a lot of bridges being 'bipartisan'. His antics during the snowstorm where he canceled the subway without telling NYC or the subway itself, only to discover that the subway had to keep running to keep snow off the tracks just without letting anyone on did not help. And he keeps trying to take money for the new Tappan Zee bridge from tons of places he's got little or no justification taking money from.

Cliff Racer posted:HW would be really interesting, assuming he isn't already dead by that time. I don't know if they'd go for a pre-recorded video or stick him up on stage live and hope he doesn't physically look awful. Anyway, I don't think that either Bush family member would be asked to headline a night as HW has just been uninvolved in politics for too long and the party would rather not tie W to Jeb (or whoever it is that wins the nomination) at all if possible. I honestly don't know what either of the Bushes would have to say either, W could talk about faith or commitment in the face of adversity (aka unpopularity) I guess. My thoughts exactly about Bush the Elder; he's really not in good enough shape to be there in person, both from the perspectives of optics and his own health. I can't imagine anyone with an ounce of brains would bring Bush the Lesser on, as doing so would be begging the next media cycle to tie the GOP candidate to his various terrible failures.

Acrophyte posted:Wow. I'm too young to remember the early 90s politically but they really are just constantly rebooting that same message. And here I was thinking that it was at least a 00s invention. It's disquieting how little difference there is between the current GOP and what the party was like during the Gingrich revolution back then, frankly. And not just because  himself has somehow managed to stay kinda- sorta- relevant despite being drummed out of Congress in disgrace.

For all his constant bluster, Trump is a cowardly lightweight and knows it. Actually campaigning, even a brief primary flash-in-the-pan, would expose what a walking punchline he really is.

DynamicSloth posted:Cruz is set for life as a U.S. Senator, I wouldn't say he hasn't figured out politics just because he's alienated half his party, when it's quite apparent he set out to alienate half his party as he didn't owe them his job and has sincere (if batshit) ideological reasons for doing so. That probably doesn't put him in any kind of position to win the Presidency in 2016, but that's not exactly unusual for anyone who has only been a Senator for 3 years. I wouldn't go so far as to say he's set for life in the Senate, because not only has he alienated at least half of his own party, he's pissed off the Perry machine in particular back in Texas. EDIT: Raskolnikov38!

I think Rubio will bow out early once it's clear he's going nowhere, but Jeb will stay in (because he's probably got the best chances) as will Cruz (because he's a narcissistic rear end in a top hat).

It'd put the Paulshevik's insurrection-attempt in 2012 in the shade. SpiderHyphenMan posted:Jeb has the best chance to win the nomination but Marco Rubio is the only one who would have a genuine shot at winning the General. Rubio's a dead letter in the primary as long as immigration remains a key issue with the party, which will remain the case as long as Obama's executive actions and position on DREAM stand.

SpiderHyphenMan posted:And Rubio would trounce all of them by virtue of being the only electable one. Which he still is. Even if Jeb drops, I don't see how Rubio could scrounge enough support to fend off attacks from Cruz et al on immigration, particularly if the GOP continues its current temper tantrum on that front. Ramadu posted:I find it completely impossible to fathom that a third bush could get elected. THere is no way that America would even consider the brother of the most disastrous president in most people 35 and unders life. Right? Oh you sweet, innocent fool. I mean yeah, I doubt Jeb has a chance, but then again the GOP crashed the government and then retook the Senate despite that and other enormities. Past horrendous disasters don't always taint as much as they ought. Captain_Maclaine fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Mar 2, 2015 |
