Countdown to Extinction: The 2016 Presidential Election

[Ken B]

Well, there's not been much doubt that this is a machine, and not a process.  Many would be happier if there were 16 aspirants, rather than "whom can we have, other than Hillary?"

Yes. On the other hand, this is the second time Hillary was inevitable. I'm not sure voters in general will take Bernie seriously, but I think democrat primary voters might.

Bernie

Here's hoping.  I'd prefer Bernie as a candidate, even if it should mean that the White House goes G.O.P. in the final contest.  (Yes, I'm saying I should prefer a Republican President, to President Hillary.)

Pfft, hasn't this plebe heard that Her Highness has it all sewn up?

What if, backstage, Hllary put him up to it?  I mean, she needs opponents in the debates, right?  Doesn't set the right tone, if she's the only one to show up . . . .

Now she's up to three to debate: Webb, O'Malley, and Sanders.

By the way, this is a really fun movie.

I keep wanting to support Bernie Sanders based on half his views, and then I remember the other half of his views are kinda scary. Ditto Rand Paul. Can I vote for a government where Paul and Sanders share power and I get to tell them who does what?

They already do share power.

Does she though?

Which views are you talking about?

[Karl Henning]

Does she though? 

God, I hope not.

We do know it's rated X.

Me too, depending on the republican.

I don't know how honest Bernie is really, but he looks squeaky clean next to Hillary from what I have seen. That counts for something. I think if Bernie tops her in a few polls that will crack the ice and we will see some more plausible candidate step forward. Is a Wendell Wilkie impossible these days?

I see you avoid my question.

Trump calling anyone else on the planet nothing more than professional agitators is quite possibly the funniest thing I shall read this week.
