Our Next President

They never tell you what you need to know.
For me, I am a news junkie, but typically stay away from political news, but I have to admit, this presidential race has me intrigued. Probably the most intrigued ever, which maybe just because I am getting older.
At first I liked Trump as I've always been a minor fan of his, although I always knew he was full of shit. Now, I think he's gone a little too far and his constant bashing has made me lose some respect for him. I think the final straw came when he is constantly praising Kanye West. Really I also think his ego would get in the way too much if he were president. Side note, Marla Maples and his daughter Ivanka are gorgeous.
Bernie Sanders, I lean right, Bearnie leans left, but I like him and he has some great ideas. Problem is he keeps using that "socialism" word which scares a lot of right leaning people as they don't understand what he means. When talking about taxes, from what I've heard so far, Bernie's is the best for me, probably the worst for LMN.
Ben, seems to be a class act, but when I look deeper I see a little too much conservatism. Against abortion, gay marriage, immigration and I think nobody (no matter what party affiliation) can be a president in this country again coming out against all 3 of these issues. Whether right or wrong a candidate won't get enough votes going against all 3. Millennials are on a totally different page than Gen X and Boomers, and politicians need to start considering that when they open their mouths.
Biden, please run. I would love to see him debate Trump, that would be interesting, probably funnier than the skit Saturday night live would make after the real thing. Plus if he runs I think that would totally screw Hillary.
Hillary, anybody but her. ANYBODY!!!! I think she is pure evil, proof? Who the hell runs twice in a row. If she loses this time to a republican, I bet anything 4 years later she will be running again.
What do you think?

Anybody but Hillary!
Also keep in mind that Trump proved himself to be spectacularly full of shit by signing the republican pledge. Truth be told I don't like much about these candidates either dem or rep
"Against abortion, gay marriage, immigration" I have no problem with this in anyone's case. Problem is, only immigration is a federal issue. The feds have no Constitutional bases for their dabbling in the others.
Blacks and Latinos will deliver Hillary both the Democratic nomination and the Presidency. Trump is a joke. He lacks ground game, and end of the day he's smart enough not to waste huge stacks of his own money on a failed campaign.
Jeb Bush has no charisma. Walker has looked like a dud. So that basically leaves you guys Rubio. He's actually got the best shot of winning. The last name alone puts Latinos in play, he can deliver Florida. He's much more of a politician.
Hillary will likely still win (the electoral map is just abysmal for republicans and young people and minorities actually bother to vote every 4 years). Women will support Hillary simply because she has a vagina. But Rubio could make it more of a nail biter.
Another socialist blabber.
Hillary - no, just no, please.:( You are dead to me if you will vote for her.
I like Cruz. Well, I like Republicans at all, but I give him slight preference. The only 2 things I disagree with them are 1)climate change/global warming. Idk, I remember, they paid lots of attention to these issues at my biology classes. Before coming to US, I had no idea that one can seriously deny it.(?)
2) some of them hold too harsh positions about abortions. On the one hand, some stupid-ass hoes fuck around here and there - sometimes getting drunk on the parties, sometimes with their "niggas" which , of course, have steady income from selling weed or starting rap career, without bothering about protection (Teehee, he always pulls out), pills are harmful, it doesn't feel the same with a rubber, yada yada. Then when they finally get knocked up thanks to their irresponsibility, they get an abortion and don't learn anything from that. And will carry on being dumb. As if abortion is some fucking form of contraceptive, smh. Probably if it was restricted, they would start using their brains.
However, what about normal people who used protection yet it didn't work?
So yeah, I am confused on this topic and don't know what to decide about it.
And I am fond of Trump.:)))
I also think she is beatable. A lot of people don't like her in her own party and really don't like her on the right side. I can't see her energizing people and bringing out the vote like Obama did.
With the Republicans it's still up in the air. I don't think Trump really wants to be President and if the early primaries don't put him at the top, which I don't think they will, I believe he'll fade out.
George Carlin — 'Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.'
When you said, above "You guys are gonna cry delicious tears on Election night." I thought you were an uniformed individual.
But later when you said, "Cheney wasn't executed for the Plame" I realized you re just an idiot AND an ignorant one at that!
I would vote for any human on earth, alive, dead or unborn, before I would ever vote for the wicked ice queen bitch.
a) A Millionaire business owner
b) Incredibly fckn stupid
can in good conscious ever vote for a Republican President after the 1950's. The Republican party heavily favors corporate entities, not the average Joe, and because of the religious non-sense, try to keep archaic policies in place, hell Jesus wouldn't even vote for today's republicans (he hated the past counterparts the Pharisees)
Ya, I'm hoping Sanders takes it to the House.
Oh...I forgot. The GOP never puts America ahead of party politics. I think Kaisch is actually electable but they are too stupid to vote for him in the primaries. OTOH, ANYONE from the Democratic party will win the next election. If the GOP were smart, they'd hope it was Hillary as she has the biggest negatives.

now that that is out of the way, the elephant in the room is the GOP primary. while the democrats are coalescing around the same old, old, old, tired thieving socialist “career” politicians, presently the top 3 on the republican side are non-politicians - Trump, Carson, and Fiorina. (yeah, yeah i know. trump is really a democrat but he is running as a republican)
all the career GOP politicians are so far back they aren’t currently in the running. it looks like the thinking people of the country don’t want anything to do with the socialist-lite GOP much less the hard-core communist democrats but want someone who will save the USA from further ruination
They have to be megalomaniacs, insane, crooked, or have deluded themselves that they can fix all the problems!
fortunately I'm watching jesica alba on late night tv so don't care at the moment.
Just look at all the BS happening in the world right now! There may not even be a world in November 2016 if obama's fuck the rest of the world I want my legacy deal with Iran gets done!
I just had an interesting conversation with a KY friend. As many might know, the conservative KY actually has the best state run health care system in the country. The uninsured rate went from 20% to like 9% under Obamacare. He said his doctor hates Obamacare because he now has more patients and he wants to work less. I said it sounds like an opportunity for more jobs in the medical field. He said poor people getting health care is too much of an inconveience to his doctor and himself, so they shouldn't get any.
WTF?
Show of hands...
How many on here ever got a job from a poor person? I thought so!!!
"Catering to gays" - that was the Supreme Court and 6 of them are GOP President's appointments. For once, policy triumphed over politics.
As for who runs, Sanders is getting a lot of traction, and with good reason. You may not like his policies fine, but a liberal government in recent times makes more money for everyone than a conservative government. Only Clinton and Obama's administrations have cut the deficit. Look that one up too.
Reagan cut taxes; Obama raised them. Ask any FOX "News" talking head and they'll confirm that to you.
Not to rock your boat, but do you recall just how many involved in the Benghazi disaster have been hidden away by this administration and not allowed to testify? Seems that would make it more difficult "to find anything" when the rest are dead or named clinton and obama. Just asking!
