Koch Brothers Themselves Will Have A Stronger Political Presence Than Democrats or Republicans

Of course I hope he runs but he has to run as a Democrat. If he doesn't and somehow gets on the presidential ballot as an independent we'll see a replay of the 2000 election when Ralph Nader acted as a spoiler with the result that GWB was elected. I can't believe that Bernie would let that happen.
 
I agree, if he runs, it has to be as a Democrat.
 

Do the Dems have to dredge the senior roles for candidates? The Repubs may be clowns but at least they are not assisted living candidates as well as presidential ones...
 
They are entering stroke or senility territory and Putin and that pudgy Korean guy are watching...

I don't think Bernie really thinks he can win... What I DO think, from watching him being interviewed is that he wants Progressive issues being debated in the public forum in primary debates. It's just not good for Hillary to go unchallenged in the Primary.. With no debates HOW will the voting public know and be made to understand progressive issues? There HAS to be a democratic primary if only for that reason.
 
This Presidential campaigning is just far too far in advance of the election. All should wait till after next fall to begin to get going. As it is now we will all be burned out by the time the real campaign and election time rolls around.

Again I say we should do without the parties and their distorted ways of trying to run this country. Let it get back to where the people make those decisions by the folks they nominate and elect.

Pull Hillary more to the left? Look at a compass rose for perspective. She hit 270 degrees and broke outside the compass. Setting out in space looking back at the rest of us.

Yes Gene.... Pull her more to the left. She is way to center for many of us.. She needs to be more like Warren.. AND if Warren got into the race, debating Hillary would help pull Hillary over where she belongs.

Lefties always lie and pretend to be more moderate than they are. Then if they get elected their true stipes show up.

I love it when you play devil's advocate.
 
Much as we all hate to admit it, Age Does take its toll...both physically AND Mentally. There are a lot of good reasons why age 65 is generally considered the normal age for retirement. I don't think it is wise to entrust the future of our nation to someone who is well past their prime. Being a U.S. President is probably one of the most difficult jobs anyone might aspire to, and Age certainly must figure into the qualifications. We have enough semi-Senile Deadheads in Congress...especially in the Senate.

Yet if they show enough hate they get re elected.

Yep, got that right. I think Democrat Robert Bryd was one of the oldest. He is deceased now. I think he died in office. He was one of the only members of congress who was a KKK member back in its heyday. Recruited 150 to the KKK, filibustered the 1964 Civil rights act. But the left loved him.

But he recanted his KKK days and made every effort to make good his evil days of years gone by. He was a very intelligent man.

In 1997, Byrd told an interviewer he would encourage young people to become involved in politics but also warned, "Be sure you avoid the Ku Klux Klan. Don't get that albatross around your neck. Once you've made that mistake, you inhibit your operations in the political arena."[SUP][21][/SUP] In his last autobiography, Byrd explained that he was a KKK member because he "was sorely afflicted with tunnel vision — a jejune and immature outlook — seeing only what I wanted to see because I thought the Klan could provide an outlet for my talents and ambitions."[SUP][22][/SUP] Byrd also said, in 2005, "I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times ... and I don't mind apologizing over and over again. I can't erase what happened."[SUP][12][/SUP]
 
Yeah, I have noticed how democrats can alway apoligize their way out of most everything. If it had been a republican in the exact same circumstance the media and liberal groups would have tarred and feathered him and he would have ended up resigning.
