Jan 28, 2015 I bet @Swizz is one of those liberals who suffers from white guilt holding "black lives matter" sign at a protest over an 18 year kid who was shot because he assaulted a police officer.
Jan 28, 2015 Lol. Obama mostly won because Bush was a failure and McCain was dumb enough to pick Sarah Palin. Heron because he was a Democrat in 2008 But I think your theory has some merit. President Herman Cain is going to do a great job until president Ben Carson takes over
Jan 28, 2015 How is Paul that bridge though? The establishment HATES his entire foreign policy, so I think he's a non-starter. If Paul gets it, it's either a) he got lucky with such a fractured field, and his individualism reigned where others cancelled each other out (Romney/Bush/Christie, Huckabee/Santorum, Cruz/Perry), or b) the strongest grassroots support. It probably wouldn't be due to a blessing from the establishment, as I simply cannot imagine the McCains and the Boehners and the Bill Kristols of the world tolerating, let alone supporting his foreign policy positions. I will say, despite my personal opinion that his FP views make winning the nomination close to impossible, he has done a better job than anyone else at laying the groundwork for a campaign and reaching out to voters he would need to win over in a general election. He's literally the only national figure in the Republican party that I can think of who has actively tried to fix his party's problems with minorities, for example. Also, he posts a lot of memes on twitter to appeal to the youth vote Yeah you know me really well. I'm a big protester. I'm at all the protests, with the signs
Jan 28, 2015 ^^ Paul's attempts at reaching out to minorities have been pretty f---ing abysmal, though. That's going to be a tough sell for any GOP candidate running with a GOP congress Plus his dad is a huge racist, as is a large part of his natural base of support
Jan 29, 2015 I think its a work in progress, he needs to demonstrate to the establishment that he isnt a wingnut, that he has crossover appeal, that he represents the kind of change they can believe in (pardon the pun). if he is able to pass criminal justice legislation anytime, i think that furthers the perceptions he can get stuff done Right now, its walking a tightrope without a circus net, but he seems to be the only true outlier out of the groups u describe.
Jan 29, 2015 he's a nervous wreck. he deserves respect, he's about to bust this tec at someone to reverse the debt edit: holy s---, Lindsay Graham really did file and actually made press statements about running to address the issues with the country. I hope he isn't seriously considering it and is just doing some kind of vanity exercise
Jan 30, 2015 I'm disappointed. i kind of wanted him to run but like, run the right way ya know no more pandering only focus on jobs, economics... and be honest: "i dont care about anything else. sry. immigration, climate change, gay marriage WHATEVER" o well
Jan 30, 2015 He doesn't really give a s--- about jobs either, though Part of the reason he didn't win is because he didn't really bring anything to the table
Jan 30, 2015 Mitt Romney lawwwssstttt kind of annoyed he made me spend 3 weeks re-arranging all my expectations about 2016 and it was all for nothing!
Jan 31, 2015 I kind of want republicans to win just so Hillary won't win. Aren't you guys sick of seeing her all these decades
Jan 31, 2015 It certainly changes the dynamics wrt the big money donors. Whether he endorses or stays out will have a bigger impact on them than primary voters. Absent his declaration of support, I think most of that money flows towards Bush. He could make a big difference, though, if he backs Walker or another credible candidate. Sounds like he and Christie hate each other though.
Jan 31, 2015 Yes....It seems some American's enjoy scandals from the Clinton family for multiple decades.
Feb 1, 2015 Yeah because we're totally comparing Bush to Clinton. I've already said the Bush family is corrupt with higher connections within the government. I would just like to see a president without having irs and sex scandals during their whole term. It makes other countries think our leadership is weak, causing a higher chance of terrorists attacks on US soil. Btw, you're probably rooting for the Patriots today, am I right? Full out scandal team, a disgrace to American sports.
Feb 1, 2015 I was comparing the Bush family because another one of them is the frontrunner for the GOP nomination. Anyways, if you like having a scandal free President, then Obama is your guy. No Administration will ever be perfect, but the desperate attempts the GOP has made to invent scandals gives you a pretty good idea of how relatively clean this Admin has been. And f--- the Patriots. Packers lost to the Seahawks, so I want them to win to show we lost to the best.
Feb 1, 2015 True. Obama was really aimed at abusing the constitution when Bush was a lot worse. Surprised to see some people in the house still racist. Lol. Good s---. f--- the pats and @redsoxx
