I said this months ago. Donald doesn't want to win. If he did he'd not treat this like a reality TV show. He's building up for his next big gig, and it ain't living in a smaller house in a black neighborhood.


This is collusion at its finest: Clinton/Media/Trump... all worked to get here. Bernie Sanders was fucked from the get go, as was Jeb Bush. Hillary would have a hard time against Jeb. Media's coverage of Trump made sure no one ever saw Jeb. Bernie was railroaded by his own party, by the media and obviously by Trump.

It's all a show, and everyone seems to be buying it. Even the Wikileaks thing is suspicious.

a no-fly zone, enforced in a foreign country, is a very dangerous policy.

I don't hold much with what Hater says, but the seeds of a global conflict are there. Just think about how many countries are fighting in Syria right now.

Trump got lucky that there were 17 candidates in the GOP primary. They all tried different tactics to outmaneuver each other (Jeb and Christie taking on Rubio, Cruz playing nice with Trump, Kasich trying to stand out as a moderate, etc), and the debates became a circus instead of a policy discussion. Trump managed to hide his utter lack of qualifications and his checkered history in the melee. And now he's being exposed as a joke.

But Jeb could just talk about his experience in Florida. They tried that "failed policy" bit with GWB regarding his dad. It didn't work. I don't think Jeb would win, but it wouldn't be this dog and pony show we've had. This is right up Trump's alley, he loves the spotlight. Might as well get Dog the Bounty Hunter next.

Yeah, but by that time Rubio had tarnished himself, Jeb had flamed out, and nobody in the party liked Cruz.

If there had been 4 candidates in the 1st debate, policy would have been discussed more and Trump would have had to say a lot more than just put-downs and zingers.

Trump had something lie 310 stories about him, and the next highest spotlight guy was Jeb with 180 or something like that. It's about media coverage. You might not win by that, but Hillary has been in the press for 30 years or so. Sure people knew who Trump was but he's portrayed himself as an arrogant asshole for ratings on TV. He probably is an arrogant asshole. Regardless, you cannot get the toothpaste back into the tube.

It's going to be hard to have any real candidates for the next 20 years. I don't see any on the horizon unless the Speaker of the House becomes popular. I'd bet on Chelsea or Michelle Obama before that. Bush, his son, his other son, Clinton, his wife, and you watch, Hillary will appoint Michelle with a post.

Because people are scared to death of Trump. And Trump has done nothing to try to change this. If he had Jeb's demeanor for ONE night... Trump actually had some good points on abortion, the rally Democrat plants, he understood Syria and Aleppo... But he can't help himself with so much other shit he should just let go or just apologize spontaneously.

CLINTON: "I don't add a penny to the national debt."
THE FACTS:
Not true, according to the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. It estimates her increased spending in areas such as infrastructure, more financial aid for college and early childhood education, would increase the national debt by $200 billion over 10 years. That is far less than their estimate for Trump, who they predict would add $5.3 trillion over 10 years. But it's plenty more than a penny.

Obviously this question calls for speculation. I would say that, when he entered the race, it was a vanity and marketing exercise for him. Just another form of reality TV show. As the race wore on, and the media fell in love with covering him, he realized that he could actually win and decided that he wanted to.

Rubio I'd probably bet on over Clinton, but I doubt he'd be the slam dunk Kasich or Romney would have been. I think Ryan would be a coin flip because of his Medicare plan.

Rubio is just a zero, no accomplishments, horrible record of absenteeism in Senate, and he may not win back his Senate seat in slave state FL.

Romney lost badly once, and his record plus his p/e predations would have brought him down again, plus he probably wouldn't release all his tax returns, again, because he got caught criminally evading tax.

They were talking about this on Morning Joe (probably the only MS NBC show I can stand). Hillary is going to be fucked from the get go. There's going to be investigation after investigation, people are going to keep combing over the wikileaks, McCain has already gone on record saying Congress will fight what ever Justices she tries to appoint, etc. Nothing is ever going to get done. Now if the roles were reversed and Trump won, the same shit would be taking place. The partisan devide is as wide as it has ever been, and these two candidates are probably the least equipped to deal with that just because of their shady backgrounds.

Welcome to our democracy, where it was purposely made easy to thwart big changes. Where a minority, or another branch, can thwart a president's initiative (or abuse of power if you label it such)

Hillary will be considered for the Nobel just like Obama was, for being the first female POTUS. Bill will be the diplomat with congress and the senate, and will be key in her 1st term to smoothing over relations with the GOP. The feds will form a bipartisan committee to investigate whatever Assange is waiting to dump on Hillary (I feel like Assange has something else, but it's going to be more damaging against a sitting POTUS than against a candidate).

I feel like Trump intentionally let HRC off the hook on too many things and instead went after mostly benign things that the US voters really don't know much about. When HRC said Donald can't be trusted with nuclear codes, he could have easily stated that even under this pressure to release them, his tax returns are safe but, as Sec of State, her emails obviously weren't. He could have pointed out that she claimed she didn't know what a confidential document looked like, even after being in office for so long, and that she testified that she doesn't recall much of it because of her state of mind or illness or whatever was happening at that time. He didn't say anything about it. His silence seemed scripted, to me anyhow.

No way Jeb or Cruz would have gotten destroyed by Hillary especially compared to Trump who was the worst candidate to beat Hillary. Jeb would have gotten alot of mainstream/moderate Republicans plus has a really good record with Hispanics. Don't forget his brother won two terms as well and Jeb would have a had a ton of money to spend on against Hillary. Cruz would have had a tougher time, but he still had better a higher favorable opinion compared to Hillary. Hillary is such a bad candidate that it took the worst candidate ever for her to win.

He is also realistic about situation, doesn't say he can fix the unfixable problems, doesn't sugar coat or try to by the election with promises he can't keep.

I don't buy it, the Bush name is toxic as hell. Kasich would have beaten Clinton. So would Romney. Rubio I'd probably bet on over Clinton, but I doubt he'd be the slam dunk Kasich or Romney would have been. I think Ryan would be a coin flip because of his Medicare plan. Christie would have lost because of his weight. Cruz and Bush would have gotten destroyed.

I think Cruz would have won, which is why I was happy Trump beat him. He would have invigorated much more of the evangelical vote that has been put off by Trump, and I think he would have done a better job of making Clinton's scandals a problem for her.

No way Jeb or Cruz would have gotten destroyed by Hillary especially compared to Trump who was the worst candidate to beat Hillary. Jeb would have gotten alot of mainstream/moderate Republicans plus has a really good record with Hispanics. Don't forget his brother won two terms as well and Jeb would have a had a ton of money to spend on against Hillary. Cruz would have had a tougher time, but he still had better a higher favorable opinion compared to Hillary. Hillary is such a bad candidate that it took the worst candidate ever for her to win.

The country wasn't anywhere near as polarized in 2000 as it is now. I don't buy Jeb could pull the hispanic vote his brother did, I think you're really overrating him. Kasich, Ryan, and Rubio are probably their best chances for the white house. The Bush name is the entire reason the Democrats won all three houses in 2008 and the only demographic too young to remember the Bush years went strongly to Bernie, no way they're voting for Jeb.

Fivethirtyeight.com had a video about Perot the other day claiming exit polls from Perot voters had them split at 38% Bush, 38% Clinton, and 24% no one had Perot not been in the race.

SS benefits go up $4/month but that's not what I'm seeing at the grocery store - this is not even touching on the cost of housing.

Good question. I figure 5-10 years till the tipping point. US currency has been THE reserve currency of the world. There are demands for dollars to do currency exchanges worldwide. As the US government and the Fed continues to shit massive amounts of "new" currency into the market to finance deficits as far as the eye can see the rest of the world is looking for dollar alternatives. When they find it the dollar is gonna go to shit.

I am literally betting my financial life on it. Fuck Dave Ramsey. By the end of the year I will literally have over a million dollars of low interest long term fixed interest dollar debt placed in hard assets that can roll with inflation.

Look at this trend. There are two ways to reduce total debt. Even you should admit the debt to GDP trend can't continue forever. Either raise taxes dramatically across the board or monetize it and hide the "tax increase" in the increased cost of goods and services.

Which do you think our politicians have the courage to do?

Free college is just an empty promise she made to try to get Bernie voters, knowing it is in no way politically feasible since the GOP has virtually locked up a house victory through gerrymandering.
