You guys are funny. 2020 will be Trump because the incumbent gets the nom again.

"do you want a President who will identify the threat, radical Islam, or someone who won't? that's the fundamental question this election"

why did i ask sean hannity?

[recursivelyenumerable]

1. Identify radical Islam as the threat
2. Profit!
3.

[benjipwns]

I'm voting for the AIA/PD 2020 ticket. Once you go black, you never go back.

what about The Gilman/benji 

o crap i just outed the campaign as white supremacist

[benjipwns]

Assuming Trump somehow loses (I know I know but go with the unlikely hypothetical here), 2020 wil probablyl be candidates who ran this time, people who don't have anything else to run for because their terms expired or they lost recently or something, and then random dudes who are just hanging around so why not like 2012 and to some extent 2004 and 1984.

Now, if Trump doesn't run for re-election because he's already made America Great Again, well, then that's different.

Of course, one other thing we have to remember too is that Kanye is running in 2020:

I am sort of expecting that by 2020 there will be some new/evolved crazy wildcard movement/candidate that is even worse than Trump and the alt-right etc.

Among those efforts were a rally late last month at FAMU headlined by Clinton’s running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, in which he praised the value of HBCUs and hammered Trump for pushing the “bigoted notion that President Obama wasn’t even born in this country” and tying the Republican to “Ku Klux Klan values.”

Kaine’s rhetoric wasn’t enough to inspire Tyresha McClenney and Bryan Anderson, two first-time voters and FAMU students who attended the Democrat’s rally. McLenney noted that she doesn’t believe Clinton has spoken enough about racial inequality and police brutality.

“It’s not something that she continuously says, it’s only like when the media gets a video of a black person getting shot,” she said. “When the media dies down on that, and she’s still saying it … that would help have more trust in her and believe in what she says.”

Added Anderson: “A lot of her attempts to reach out come across as pandering.”

That lack of excitement worries Henry Crespo, president of the Miami-based Florida Democratic Black Caucus.

“No one is writing songs for Hillary. Obama had will.i.am. Hillary has nobody like that,” said Crespo. “Right now, the vote is against Trump. It’s not for Hillary. I still think she’s going to win. But you want your people to be for your candidate, not just against the other guy.”

[Mandark]

the song was obviously wack but she's exactly right about it being a microcosm of a widespread sentiment

"I respectfully accept the decision of my fellow american citizens. And of the blacks and mexicans too. It's rigged people, the fight wasn't fair, i'm sorry but it's true folks. Rigged. We still managed to get 40%, it's huge even with the bias and lies of the mainstream media. When the Chinaman... Count on that, very smart people those, very good with maths, no wonder they keep on winning and we keep on losing... When the Chinaman will have you under its yoke with crooked Hillary on her death bed and that you all come back to me crawling "Donald, please help us win, we're dying" then I'm pretty sure FUCK YOU. Politics are done. The things I heard from Republicans, you wouldn't believe, the things I heard. I was the nominee but they the didn't did their part. Too scared, too corrupted. The fight isn't over folks yet, maybe the second amendment people will finally do something, maybe. Tune in this Juanuary to the Trump Network, only the truth, the best and biggest news. Roger will help me, very good, very competent and he knows a thing or two about the evils of political correctness. We'll have my good friend Sean Hannity. He has a big round head. Massive."

Yeah, she's in favor of gun control, she fits right in with the sellout Johnson/Weld campaign.

She probably can't even name her favorite Rothbard book like Gary couldn't in 2012.

But then again, so does Trump.

“It all flipped, so fast,” said Mr. Odgaard, a patrician 70-year-old who favors khakis and boat shoes. “Suddenly, we were in the minority. That was kind of a scary feeling. It makes you wonder where the Christians went.”

Republicans greatest fear. Being a minority. Sounds about right.

Mr. Jorgenson was among many Iowa pastors who publicly supported Mr. Cruz, though not from the pulpit, and he is not sure if he will vote for Mr. Trump in November, even though Mr. Cruz has now said he will vote for Mr. Trump. He would not even consider voting for Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, and said he did not know anyone in his church who would. But asked how much hope he had that Mr. Trump would protect the religious liberty of conservative Christians, Mr. Jorgenson held his two fingers a quarter-inch apart.

“My hope is not ultimately in the government,” he said. “I am not of this world. Jesus is going to come back. He’s going to bring the perfect government. Until then, we live in a world of sin.”

I also like how we don't categorize this belief system as a form of mental illness.

[benjipwns]

Now, a year later, the Odgaards and other conservative evangelicals interviewed in central Iowa say they feel as though they have been abandoned. Many say that they have no genuine champion in the presidential race and that the country has turned its back on them. Americans are leaving church, same-sex marriage is the law of the land, and the country has moved on to debating transgender rights. While other Americans are anxious about the economy, jobs and terrorism, conservative Christians say they fear for the nation’s very soul. Some worry that the nation has strayed so far that God’s punishment is imminent.

“I was against [the Trans-Pacific Partnership] once it was finally negotiated and the terms were laid out.” -Hillary Clinton

False. She was against the TPP once it was finally negotiated and it was clearly electorally unviable.

“We need to move on.” -Lester Holt

True.

“[NAFTA] is the single worst trade deal ever approved in this country.” -Donald Trump

This is false. The worst trade deal in this country’s history was when the SuperSonics dealt Scottie Pippen to the Bulls for Olden Polynice.

“Violent crime is one half of what it was in 1991.” -Hillary Clinton

Come on, is this really going to change what you think one way or another?

“I say who makes these? We lose on everything. All I said, that it’s very possible that if they don’t pay a fair share, because this isn’t 40 years ago where we could do what we’re doing. We can’t defend Japan, a behemoth, selling us cars by the million.” -Donald Trump

What he doesn’t tell you is, and this by the way, if you have any doubt in your whatever mind, look it up, because anyone can know this or tell this as the case had been, that you have these alliances and they are making America to where we lose.

Maybe the "unintended consequences" might be that it opens the door for Afghan and Iraqi governments to let their citizens sue the US for their losses?

[CatsCatsCats]

I think the  part is him putting the blame on the White House, when Obama said basically the same thing about unintended consequences of opening the US up to liabilities whilst fucking vetoing it

[Tasty]

Yeah, the part is everyone voting for it, Obama vetoing it, everyone voting to override his veto, and then putting the blame for "unintended consequences" on the White House.

[Joe Molotov]

I assume the plan was to hold the veto vote and force Democrats to vote against it so they could be like "omg, why do you hate 9/11 victims?" but then all the Democrats voted for it too, so now they're like "shit, well now we have no one to blame but ourselves, j/k it's Obama's fault".

Donald Trump is still on course to win, despite his failure on September 27 in New York to challenge Hillary Clinton effectively rather than petulantly. Had Bill Clinton his way, it is likely that Hillary Clinton would have remained a US Senator, while daughter Chelsea would have entered the House of Representatives, then a Governorship or a Senate seat, and finally the White House. Rather than husband and wife, that symbol of global pre-eminence is more within the reach of the daughter twelve years later taking over the job held during 1992-2001 by William Jefferson Clinton.
