POTUS Election thread

[Veho Nex]

I know where trump stands. Hillary scares me because if she takes power she doesn't strike me as the person to give it up. If she won a second term at the end she'd campaign for President4Lyfe.

I want Sanders to win. I stand by the majority of what he stands for and if enough people feel that way he may win.




Anyone but Clinton and I mean that.

Lolwut?

You do realize that the crazies on the far right are saying the same thing about Obama right? How January 2017 will roll around and he will refuse to give up office?

[Veho Nex]

I consider myself to be pretty centrally located between the left and right. Hillary just looks like a greasy corrupt politician who actually would try to buy her way into president for life. The crazies on the right are just that. I remember people on the far left worried about GWB running for life, going to school in SF at the time I heard all sorts of stupid crap.

Hillary would America's metaphorical Nero IMO.

[Montmorency]

More like America's (female) Gerald Ford, if anything.

[Hooahguy]

Sounds like a bunch of silly paranoia to me.

This ain't Russia, pal. This kind of stuff doesn't fly here in the States.

As for Bernie, if that moron gets the Dem nomination, that just means that a republican, any republican will be our next prez. Yes, even Trump.

Sanders is the only guy who actually makes sense. He doesn't speak in political double talk and doesn't play to nation's basest fears or prejudices. Everybody else, just a rehash.

I do understand that in America left-right spectrum is totally different, but in the rest of the world, Sanders is your normal, moderate, everyday, run-of-the-mill, center left guy.

Yeah, but he's not running for president of "the rest of the world", so to hell with him. He's just another left wing pinko demagogue who is very focused on stripping the wealth of the top 1 percent instead of focusing on increasing the wealth of the remaining 99.

Given that wealth is relative, how can you do one without the other?
By increasing the size of the planet and its resources?

On second thought, the answer is free for all since IIRC rvg has me on ignore...

Well I suppose if you buy into the idea that the president of the US is the leader of the free world, then I guess he is kinda running for the president of "the rest of the world."

And your comment reminds me of someone who only hears the "tax the wealthy more" part of his plan and ignores the rest of his plan to help the middle and lower classes.

That dirty Socialist is going to tax these righteous citizens that make more money each minute than I and mine will see in our life times. Dirty hippy is then going to give out free college edumatcations like ma chilluns need that. I and mine are going to McDonalds to use our god given food stamps. BYE

On a side note: Same people who believe "Trickle down economics" actually works. Who the hell builds a house from the roof down. No one. You put money into the lower and middle class to build the economy. Not hoard it in the upper classes.

I think trickle down economics is equivalent to feeding scraps to the dog underneath the dinner table.

---- Because you have not even read the 22nd Amendment.

[Montmorency]

To be honest, I wouldn't myself recommend that anyone read the 22nd Amendment.

that noise.
