Hey maybe we'll get lucky and Elizabeth Warren will pull an Obama?

This gave me a headache.

Ye gods, wouldn't that scare the shit out of the money men and power brokers?

 

[Sean Renaud]

I think it would scare the shit out of a lot of people and if she won? Dear God the sounds of Republican heads exploding would deafen the world.

 

[Tryharder62]

Maybe she could have some white house fun of her own. Pay back sucks.

Turns out Hillary isn't the one making Republican heads explode.

(Yet.)

No, not Hill. Demo secret agent Tromp is thoroughly destroying the GOP, following up on Karl Rove's social-suicide campaign. The GOP message of hate+fear+greed+lies evaluates to "Make America great again by burning it down!" That's the mood Rove and his wingmen (Rush Limbo, Roger Ailes, Matt Drudge, etc) boldly cultivated; that's what Tromp harvests, a nice juicy crop of nihilism+delusion. GOPs have only their elites to blame for their disintegration.

After Hill wins she can name Tromp as Secretary of the Treasury and blame him for running the country into bankruptcy -- he's had a lot of practice there.

Nice piece in the NYT by Paul Krugman about the disbelief in the GOP at Trump's rise:

That fucking Trump is scaring me. He's an issue that people (including myself) haven't been taking seriously. Clinton isn't as adored as she used to be and I don't think has anything locked at all.
Plus she's a nasty human being but that's just my opinion.

Just like the Broncos SB prediction!

No way do they win the SB with an old QB and questionable running game. Won't happen. Nope. Nobody beats Carolina this year. You can take that to the bank.

There is no way the Crybaby Cam will eat turf.

Time after time.

No way!

Darn tootin. He's gonna carve up that Denver defense. Probably sizing up the ring as we speak.

Rory called it early on.

Hillary for the W!

Reagan was down nearly 30 points at this time in 1980.

We all heard this in 2012 when Romney was running.

How'd that turn out for ya?

 

[Aglaopheme]

Ha! Nice.

Ha! Nice.

It was sort of a gimmie after seeing how 2012 played out; Hill was getting lined up then. I was wondering who the GOP would have lined up as their young star in 2016. Originally, I thought they were going to try Bobby Jindal. And then, well...Jindal.

Once 2014 hit with no stars in their court, you knew it was over.

I didn't anticipate, however, that it'd be over with a T-bomb.

I agree it was a gimme, but even gimmes can be well played.

Their bench is looking rather sparse. Gowdy made a brief cameo. That was amusing.

Everyone wanted to fly under his radar, and now they're popping up most likely too little too late.

Or....we could just vote Sanders and not buy into "Hillary is the only option because that's what Wall St. wants and so do you!!!" but we wont. Even if we did? Super delegates will make sure HRC is the nominee.

I like Sanders, but he'd be a beacon of Republican hope. He'd get mauled in office, and the Republicans would spin it as a gigantic failure of liberalism.

Hillary, however, is mostly (but not entirely) another 4-8 years of Obama, and the thought of that tears at the very heart muscle of the Conservative movement. That wear and tear, in fact, is already starting to show.

So, I'm voting for pain.

What do you think they have done to Obama? Will do to Hillary and or Warren/Sanders?

Not a bit different, if anyone short of Rubio/Cruz get's in office they are going to get that treatment from the GOP and that is all there is to it.

Yes Hillary is another 8 years on our knees taking it in the ass from Wall St. and H(R)C's other mega bux campaign donors and not a whole lot of fuck all for the rest of us.

I'd rather skip that and put a liberal in office who isn't some billionaires lap dog.

Yes, but Bernie would die, or be rendered senile. He's not strong enough.

If you think there's a man or woman alive who could be President and not be second-fiddle to Wall St. and campaign donors, you have much to learn. The Prez don't have that kind of power. Never will.
