The advantage for the Dems is the opportunity for new blood. Clinton was nearly 70, Bernie is 74. It is time for a new generation. Hopefully there will be a country left for then to run in.


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Gotta love the guy. No cagey shyte, no double speak. He's been saying the same thing since the beginning of his campaign . Give 'em hell, Mr. B!

Really, Democrats, pick somebody who white women can look up to like their fathers. Somebody men can look up to as a solid guy. And not crazy, rapey, racist Dad. Some married guy who looks decent and has been married to the same woman for a very long time, who DOESN'T ever cheat on her, and has raised some successful children.

A business, military, or law career would be a plus. Some combination of all of them would be great.

Start your campaign now!
If this election proves anything it is that ANYTHING (and I do mean ANYTHING) is possible.

Cheez whiz NWP, you were an assistant AG?
That's pretty cool.

It was a really good job, and I served under both a Republican and Democratic AG. I left there to return to active duty in the Army. Alas, my wife would kill me if I ran for office, but I may become a party member.

OK, we'll let you off if your wife is so against it: Gotta respect the sanctity of marriage.

But somebody LIKE you, please. Almost every man in the US who meets those criteria would be better at it than Trump.

She'll warm up to the idea. Besides, she'll be too busy selecting new drapes and china for the White House. smile
