US Politics Thread |OT| SAD TRUMP

[benjipwns]

Look at him
Look at me
That boy is bad
And honestly, he’s a wolf in disguise
But I can’t stop staring in those evil eyes

I asked my girlfriend if she’d seen you 'round before
She mumbled something while we got down on the floor, baby
"We might’ve voted, not really sure, don’t quite recall
But something tells me that I’ve seen him, yeah"

That Beto is a monster (mo-mo-mo-monster)
That Beto is a monster (mo-mo-mo-monster)
That Beto is a monster (mo-mo-mo-monster)
That Beto is a monster-er-er-er-er-er

He ate my heart (I love that girl)
He ate my heart (wanna to talk to her, she’s hot as hell)
He ate my heart (I love that girl)
He ate my heart (wanna to talk to her, she’s hot as hell)

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I wanna just vote, but he took me home instead
Uh-oh, there was a monster in my bed
We discussed gun control on a subway train
He tore my clothes right off
He ate my heart and then he ate my brain

The only way for a trump to get defeated in 2020 is by bernie.

You think bernies wag finger that killed hillary wont have an effect on trump? Imagine a flock of birds just showing up at an indoor stadium when he's talking about the middle east situation.

What can trump really rail against bernie with? "You jew!".....

well maybe, fuck

Maybe he's moved on from this, but when Obama was president Jim Kessler was using the Great Recession as an excuse to tell Democrats to slash Medicare and Social Security, the federal government's two most popular programs.

So I'm not too worried about whatever he has to say now.

The Democrats would be smart to run the most boring random person with no history of history that no one has ever heard about.
The most plain white collar guy you can think of. That even Trump can't think of a way to make fun of such a boring and mundane person.
He should also be pretty much emotionless. Like if Trump calls out his mother he just starts talking about his policy plans.

It would drive Trump up the wall to a point that he starts hurting himself to make it more interesting.

Fawell claimed the 9/11 attacks were an “obvious false flag attack whose work was farmed out to Israel’s Mossad by elements high up in our government,” according to reporting by CNN and Media Matters. He has also promoted a range of conspiracy theories about “Pizzagate” and around the mass shootings in Newtown, CT, San Bernardino, CA, Orlando, FL and Aurora, CO.

Wow, state the facts and suddenly you're an "extremist candidate"?

Something that's been going through my head:

Remember the Trent Lott comments about Strom Thurmond? If that happens in 2018, does Lott resign from his leadership position?

[benjipwns]

Considering he won back a leadership position (I think the third spot?) in 2006, I'm going to suggest not.

[benjipwns]

The survey, conducted among 680 registered voters who identified themselves as Democrats or independents, found that "none of the above" was the most popular choice among potential 2020 challengers to President Trump.

Thirty percent of the sample said they would prefer that "none of the above" become the Democratic nominee when asked to choose among former Vice President Joe Biden, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D), Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I), New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker (D), California Sen. Kamala Harris (D), former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Twenty-five percent of respondents said Biden would be their preferred nominee. Sanders, who ran in the Democratic presidential primary in 2016, came in second with 18 percent.

Twelve percent of the independents and Democrats surveyed picked Clinton, Sanders's one-time presidential rival, who signaled a willingness to run again, saying in an October interviewer that she would still "like to be president."

Other candidates attracted even less support. Harris, Bloomberg and Warren were each the top choice for just 4 percent of respondents.

I say, go for it. Just run another candidate as an Independent in California or something to finish third in EVs and thus be in the House election.

I've always found it amusing that all the states with "None of the Above" on the ballot no longer have any consequences for it winning an election. (A few local elections still do.)

Democrats are suddenly getting more excited about Midwesterners who might appeal to working class white voters in the 2020 presidential election.

Sen. Sherrod Brown on Tuesday again proved himself the only Democrat in a decade — other than former president Barack Obama — capable of winning statewide in the electoral battleground of Ohio.

And in Minnesota, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who has been attracting increasing national attention, won reelection in the competitive state by an astonishing 25 points, carrying tens of thousands of voters in rural areas who otherwise went mostly for Republicans.

Klobuchar’s resounding victory in Minnesota is “a road map to the future,” said Democratic pollster Celinda Lake. “She’s an extremely appealing, personable retail politician — very warm, everyone likes her. I think it’s the winning formula for anyone to run for president.”

Klobuchar, a pragmatic moderate with a reputation for bipartisanship, still has little name recognition outside her state. But her national profile has been rising since the hearings this fall for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, when her even-handed, prosecutorial questioning proved effective. She’s made trips to Iowa this fall, the starting point of the presidential primary race.

[benjipwns]

“Between the fact that she had such a blowout election and that Iowa is right next door [to Minnesota], I assume she and her team are going to be thinking real hard about getting into this race,” said Jim Manley, a longtime Democratic strategist with a history in Minnesota politics.

This was the crux of the Michelle Bachmann campaign strategy. Along with the fact that she was born in Iowa but never lived there.

Although the most positive thing I always heard about Bachmann in that bid was how she has "crippling migraines" that "force" her to take all kinds of drugs and sedatives to rest like 12 hours a day. That's the kind of candidate that should speak to The Bire's crucial swing voters.

[benjipwns]

Warren had been regarded by some progressive advocates as a strong candidate, but she may have lost some support after provoking controversy by releasing a DNA test to address persistent questions about her claims of Native American heritage. A Morning Consult/Politico poll from October found that just 34 percent of Democratic respondents believed Warren's actions were "appropriate."

democrats are so fucking stupid.

There is a blatant game plan: Create a system where people can make money.

Obama peddled money making bullshit he wasn't sure he could deliver in the midwest. People ate that shit up because he's handsome as fuck and he promised them livelyhood.

The next person who goes against trump (bernie) better fucking make sure there are plans to transform all those corn makers into energy makers. and make sure all those coal miners can start building trains and hyperloops. all those fucking little towns should be building solar farms. Give a fucking trillion dollars to green innovation. cause china has an unlimited amount of resources for minerals, people, and initiative.

It's still fucking appalling that china turned on a dime to create a green economy when they realized their people were dying. And the fucking EPA in the US still fucks about with letting cars emit more pollution than before.

it's funny that pd was able to run rampant on old gaf being a disingenuous asshole, where half his/her posts would fit in with new gaf and ree.

[benjipwns]

The problem is that judicial review as a concept predated the Constitution, they probably assumed it was unnecessary to point that out like they did with the executive powers to enforce the laws.

Also, how hard is it for everyone to learn that when asked about the worst Supreme Court decision, you say Dred Scott, then you can toss in Wickard or Roe or Citizens United, whatever other hobby horse.

[benjipwns]

Also, it's fucking McCulloch, not Marbury where Marshall declared the Supreme Court the final arbiter of the Constitution. That's one I can't believe how often I see wrong in fucking text books.

Marbury was an attempt to get out of a derelict case that Marshall couldn't rule on properly without squaring the circle, it wasn't a power grab.

Wait, did Trump get into it with Jim Acosta because he asked him about the ((((Karavan))))? And now Acosta is banned from the White House?

Should have talked about a bet regarding this, I would have been sure Lou wouldn't drop it immediately. Maybe it'll be back later this week once we get out of the election "analysis" wake.
