So the process could be more from the bottom up. Super delegates. I have just had a wee look at that; didn’t know the rules had been changed. It could be a game changer. One potential by product is more people joining the Democratic if they feel they have more real power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Half the potential Democrat voters will be looking for someone youngish and inspirational, the other half just someone with experience, knowledge, common sense and basic humanity, ie. the opposite of Trump. Might put a small outside bet on this guy, younger than Sanders and Biden anyway. Quote Webb, 72, penned a darkly prescient essay before the U.S.-led Iraq invasion in 2003 in which he warned that “those who are pushing for a unilateral war in Iraq know full well that there is no exit strategy if we invade.” "The Iraqis are a multi-ethnic people filled with competing factions who in many cases would view a U.S. occupation as infidels invading the cradle of Islam," he added. He wrote that in "Japan, American occupation forces quickly became 50,000 friends. In Iraq, they would quickly become 50,000 terrorist targets.” https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/03/jim-webb-defense-secretary-1060169 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bush family don't like him, so even if we generously assume it could have been when H.W was alive it's unlikely. Fair to assume it wasn't Obama or Clinton either so unless Jimmy Carter's going on about Mexican rapists these days... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's genuinely vapid, and were he a Fox News anchor, he'd be in the Lou Dobbs/Tomi Lahern/Dan Bongino echelon of genuine imbeciles. 17 hours ago, welshbairn said: Guess Elizabeth Warren had to settle for giving her own earlobe a wee stroke over in the Senate. That one comment has absolutely put paid to any possible chance she had at a presidential bid. Every bit as bad as that white girl who pretends to be black. 3 hours ago, J_Stewart said: Looks like your mad auld racist uncle’s been making memes again: They still aren’t very good. Whoever designed that has clearly never seen the show. Notwithstanding that, it looks as if the wall is being built in front of Trump. A truly incompetent administrations. Turtles all the way down, as they say. EDIT: at some point HBO are going to be able to put an end to this blatant plagiarism/misuse of creative content, surely?

beefybake Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) On the wall thing..., as January approached the Democrats really just ignored Trump spouting off about the wall, knowing that they were about to assume control of the House of Representatives. Are things almost there where everyone just gives up on the guy, ignores him, works their way around him, and keeps his finger AWAY from the red button ?
