News flash!

Biden is bidin' his time deciding whether to enter the fray.  He may be waiting to see if any permanent damage can be done to the 'Hill' by either the ReThugs in Congress or Bernie Sanders.

I think Biden is a decent guy, but I don't think he'd do well against a sane Republican candidate - IF you can find one.   :biggrin:

"You've probably noticed that opinion pollsters go out of their way to include as many morons as possible in surveys ... I think it's dangerous to inform morons about what their fellow morons are thinking. It only reinforces their opinions. And the one thing worse than a moron with an opinion is lots of them." -- Scott Adams

In other words: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  ;)

The 'Gump' is sucking all the air out of the out of the room in that insane asylum that is the Republican party.

He also signed an 'agreement' not to run third party - an 'agreement' that's not worth whatever paper it was written on.   :biggrin:

Even though half of our nation is sub 100 IQ, I'd like to think that sooner or later the adults in the room have to start asking and demanding cogent responses about governing from the 'Gump' and the other ReThug crazies.

On the issue of Immigration, you CAN'T deport millions of people.  Besides being physically impossible, I suspect a violent reaction to any attempt...and you don't want even a percentage of them to be scared enough to start a ruckus.

Pundits talk about the 'Hill's' baggage, but to look at it from ReThug's view, they'll lay all of the past's attacks on Obama straight over on Biden.  Therefore, Biden will have all of Obama's baggage.

The "Gump" proves my claim that ANY office in the country can now be bought by the highest bidder. (Thanks SCOTUS).

They can say what they want, as much as they want, as long as the money holds out; and do so with impunity. As long as they have the cash to flood the media with enough emotional flotsam to obscure the view of the average voter and keep them wringing their hands, they have a better than average shot of getting into the office.

"Gump" has that money. . . and the SCOTUS has all but sealed his candidacy. . .  :mad:

Well, in just about twenty-four hours the next round of ReThug insanity from the wackos will be put on parade as red meat for the idiot masses to consume and regurgitate.

I just can't believe people put up with this crude carnival ridiculousness.   :rolleyes:

I'm not going to watch the early one with the noncontenders.  I may watch the later one just to see any fireworks surrounding Trump.  ;D

Yep!  It was very interesting.  It is NICE having several qualified candidates to pick from....all of them had great point at times.

Talk about a circus show will be the democrat debate between Hillary and OH.....Hillary.  Talk about a clown....damn

Thanks for the commentary from the cheap seats.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

Hypocrisy! It seems to me that you and your ilk demonized Obama for his lack of experience.
