Obama should've amended the constitution in 09-11 to abolish term limits imho. Dude could've been president for at least another 3-4 terms. Maybe he can manufacture a crisis in the next year to do this.

I don't really care either way because they're all pieces of poo poo, but what is it like to be the kind of person that whenever the media reports something negative about a democrat, the line is, "LOL at the things the GOP pursues?" Do you think the GOP is running the free media? I mean, you know democrats are crooked pieces of poo poo right alongside the republicans, right? Is it like my gramma and her religious stuff? God has a reason for errything so Hillary has a reason for trashing all her emails and it's good for us?

I see otherwise smart people acting that way and it doesn't make sense to me. Maybe some people are just genetically predisposed to need to have faith and spirituality even if they don't realize it and actively mock the concept while fully embracing it.

I want a cool, single president that has an extremely public and engaging dating life while in office for everyone to get super distracted by while they push their agenda through behind a smokescreen of flabbergasted conservatives wondering way too hard if the prez is boning a hot single tonight or not.

There's little chance of a Republican beating Clinton. Barring some huge controversy, Hillary will be president for the next 8 years.

If Clinton is the candidate we'll have the lowest turnout of any modern election. The elephants have nobody, but maybe even nobody can win with only old white people voting.

Disagree. Hillary will energize a unique voter base - for example, she'll probably win West Virginia whereas Obama never had a chance.

But you're right about the Repukes - they've got nothing. Jeb Bush would theoretically be the best of these freaks, but he's an idiot too and his name should be toxic.

Look that'd be marginally less bad than having a red skull in office, but it's their freaking turn. I bet you a detailed drawing of Hilary slaying her GOP contenders if she wins. It can't happen, no blue rear end will take the presidential throne again this decade.

I'd be willing to bet real money you're wrong. Hillary will be the next president. There's no dynamic of "taking turns" when it comes to the Presidency.

There's a huge difference. One party sincerely tries to run the government as best as possible. The other party is a literal radical group of extremists who seek nothing other than destroying current American society.

The GOP literally has to pander to religious dominionists and pass unConstitutional poo poo to keep thier voting block there. WIthout the crazy religious people they have no party. I feel like the "Libertarian" wing could co exist with the Big Business wing and suss out compromises. But you put in that religious aspect and they go off the rails crazy and become an absolutely terrible amalgamation of the worst aspects of politics.
