There is no way the GOP will be that stupid. My guess is that they will wise up and nominate Jeb , or Christie.....Two men I wouldnt be that upset with. HOWEVER, I still believe Hillary is going to win this one, going away...so its a moot point....so yeah, lets chat about Ted and his mission to de-fund the US GOVT.peanuts please. |

Hillary has a had a lot of help from the GOP. When her husband left office he had an approval rating in the 80s. It was just as low as Bush before Gingrich and Monica.
This put Hillary out there as a major public figure. Do you think Nancy Reagan or Barbara Bush could run for President? |

just say no..............
Barbra Bush has some skeletons in her closets, she killed her ex-boyfriend and was not charged for it. amazingly in an intersection that she ran the stop sign, an intersection she has stopped at thousands of times in her life before that. |

Frankly, If John Kerry put his hat in the ring, he'd beat Hillary this time. He at least seems to have the gravitas to pull it off. He's a better Secretary of State for sure. |

Interesting comment by Bard. What do you think now about the false swift boat claims that derailed his campaign? Would you support legislation that required the source of funding for attack political ads to be identified? The Tea Party does not. |

I like the ideas of he Teas and assumed they must have some good legislation to show.
Macs question got me researching . I can not find one single thing online.
Is it really possible that they have done nothing at all for five years?
How do they get educated people to vote for them?
Do their paychecks really just pay welfare to slackers who spend all day complaining about welfare being paid to slackers?
And voting down Obamacare 40 times?
Some of you support the Teas.tell us the good work they do for you and yours. |

You know keycocker, the Tea Party folks, to include most all neo-conservative Republicans, know that they don't have a chance in hell to pass legislation that they really support because the Democrats in the Senate and the Obama Administration will shut them down every time. In times long past, most savvy politicians on both the right and left knew that the key to passing legislation was compromise, especially with a divided government like we have today. It could be argued that the Republicans could improve a program like the ACA, but they can't because they don't have the ideas or vision to do productive work. The Tea Party folks and the Republicans in Congress are quite happy with being obstructionists. No need to take responsibility for actually governing. These folks are quite satisfied with simply blocking anything that President Obama and the Democrats may want to accomplish. |

KC--they don't get educated people to vote for them. They get evangelicals who fear the teaching of science, and oil company flacks, to vote for them. Cultural pressures in the South are not like anything you've ever seen in California. |

If she runs, she will win...if you would care to wager...I am a willing participant....assuming you still frequent these pages in Nov 2016. |
