Here's the problem: Biden is to the current right of most Dem voters on things like drug policy. He would be more conservative than anyone in the race except maybe Chafee or Webb. His support is not going to be what people think it would.

Isn't the Tamir Rice shooting still being investigated even though it's been like a year now? Not seeing a good reason for that except to make it go away.

Won't not raising it cause a loving global economic meltdown on a scale far greater than the 2008 crash? How is this not a loving scandal of the highest order? This is economic terrorism.

Zwabu posted:I suspect Carson has the fundamentalist Christian support in his corner at the moment. I'm sure a lot of those voters don't like Trump since he doesn't even really pay the super thin lip service to their issues that most GOP candidates do, and I guess Huck and Santorum are yesterday's news. Also his books have been very popular in the evangelical community for a long time

It's nice to see that a black man like Carson is regurgitating the old Neo-Nazi/white supremacist notion that gun control caused the Holocaust. We're really making strides with multiculturalism in this country people.

I really wish the Dems hadn't agreed to put anyone on this stupid Benghazi committee. It just legitimatizes their crazy. That and Hillary should have just ignored requests to testify, since of course Gowdy has turned this into a stupid TV show trial.

STAC Goat posted:Its a failure for the Republicans. They've had nothing new to present, Hillary's kept her cool, repeated Republicans have been relegated to yelling at Hillary as she calmly refutes them, and they spent a long time whining about Sydney Blumenthal which led to everyone on TV (and in the hearing) ask what he has to do with Benghazi (and for yucks had the Republicans vote against releasing his testimony to the public). Even Fox News is calling it a "strong performance" from Hillary that gives her the PR edge on the issue. And yeah, it was painfully obvious that they had nothing new going into this hearing, but decided to take their shot anyway since Kevin McCarthy already reduced whatever legitimacy this panel had to zero with his comments.

radical meme posted:This is really a very big deal; the systematic destruction of our judicial system right here. But, it's such a wonky issue that it's almost impossible to get people worked up over it. Corporations, especially insurance companies, have been hacking away at our open court system for decades. People don't concern themselves with it until it directly affects them or a close family member and then it's too late. Add in a compliant congress, at both state and federal level, and you get more and more legislation that destroys the right to civil trials. Our form of democracy, representative government, can not survive without a vibrant and active judiciary. Even libertarian poo poo-head theory depends on an active judiciary.
