Thread: President of the US of A

Clinton.

On the republican side I don't see how the numbers can add up to a win; a Rubio/Bush - Kasich ticket should get them Florida and Ohio i.e. the presidency, but that's extremely unlikely given the present state of the party.

Not really, big picture has been the same as always if you look at it and not get caught in the silliness of general punditry.

One thing about a long election cycle like the US has is that it allows things like there being enough time for Sanders bumping Hillary to happen. Then there is the long run up to the actual National vote after the long run up to the Primaries.

We normally have a short election cycle of about 30 days from when the Writ is dropped and the National vote done. This last time for some reason the ruling party chose to go long and that was enough time for the wheels to fall off their run and all that happened in 70 odd days.

It ain't over till the fat lady sings and there is a long time to go till that happens in the US.

No tape, of course. You don't have to learn it the hard way like Nixon.

I am grateful for the LBJ tapes..."The crotch down where your nuts hang is always a little too tight, so when you make 'em up, give me an inch so I can take 'em out there because they cut me, it's like riding a wire fence."

In the U.S some of our worst Presidents were big shot businessmen. Many folks think being a business mogul makes you a candidate for being a great president however the skills are 180 degrees different.

If you want a great example check out Herbert Hoover and how he dealt with the economic collapse in 1929.

Anyone but hillary. We are already witnessing the decline and fall of the American empire. Four to eight more years of what we've had the past eight .......... we'll be down the tubes.
