I remember getting dozens of emails for months from politicians I never even donated to. Maybe they got my name from a list somewhere. I dont hide how intentionally angry I get when someone texts me asking me if I'm going to support their candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmsy Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 At first I think the big question everyone had about a candidate and whether or not a voter would support said candidate was simple: "Can they beat Trump?". Now, according to polling, a dried up, white turd that even flies won't eat can beat Trump. it has opened up the primary to candidate who would never have a chance and I think that is a good thing. Eventually, we will focus on one candidate and another question will become important: "Can they beat the GOP?". I loved Obama, but I don't know why he completely rolled over for the GOP. I get that being the first black president put him on a short leash, but the GOP swore to never work with him from the beginning. Why he took their crap, I'll never really know, but I think that will pick our next nominee. Is this person going to take the GOP's BS, say thank you and roll in it or will they shut it down? I know Bernie won't take it, but Mayor Pete, Warren or Amy? I don't know. Beating Trump is the first step, but far from the last. We can take out the general, but we still have to take out his army.

That's actually one of the reasons I loved Obama. He tried hard to be a bipartisan president even when the republican congress chose to be infantile about everything. Republican citizens staunchly refuse to acknowledge this but IMO he was actually the most bipartisan president of my lifetime. (Bracing for impact because here they come....)

Jumbo Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 poor john kelly wait until twa or noinney straighten him out for being so clueless on this vindman deal speaking of which---i know it's old hat, but remember how all the congress-gopers acted, and how the conservatives here (more at that time) posted, on benghazi and really any hearings or topics they felt demanded them during the obama admin, or how livid they all were at janet reno for talking to bill on a plane? (which i and even most lefties here thought was a genuine issue/bad move) but these multiple, serous, significant issues across the board from the trump admin are....different....good to see more chaffetz and pinhead trey again...i wish nothing but the absolute worst for those guys ....same with cronyn again this a.m......some interventionists suggest he should go skull-**** himself with a tire-iron but i think he should try mike's conversion therapy first since those peeps believe if can affect most dramatic change at the deepest level and they would be the ones to know...yay the grand old party....overall, it's been a great movement in america over the last half-century-plus for those comfy with floating in sewage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I intentionally fry the inhibitor chip when they try that with me, I havent got one from Bernies campaign, but I will if it does jus on principle.
