Practice makes perfect.....post on....
The DNC can re-convene or vote in the separate states to replace an incapacitated candidate.
Biden is waiting. He would be the obvious choice.
Joe Friday frowns upon the corybantic antics of kids on uppers, downers, and far-outers. He’s going to arrest the trash that pollute our kids with this garbage.
that was amazing! at starbucks this AM I met a Pittsburgher wearing his steeler golf shirt for tonights game against the redskins. we chatted, his accent was still ridic thick though he’s been here a zillion years [older guy]. He mentioned how Pitt snuck one aht from Penn state on Sat, hilarious. he was a WVU alum.
or Warren. either one infinitely more likeable than Hillary. did you see AXELROD’s tweet?? dang! he was critical of the secrecy and how it’s compounding her problems. Don’t you bet there is a power struggle underway behind the scenes somewhere between the Clinton cabal and whoever the puppetmasters are of the DNC? their interests are not the same by any stretch.
good to hear! A+++
Even more amazingly, Hempfield is 3-0 for the first time I can remember. They beat the #4 ranked team with a touchdown in the final minute. Now they may be the favorite to win their conference.
They should get killed by PGH Central Catholic this week, but they’re on a whole other level.
all good!
The corybantic New York Times columnist Charles Blow comes out with screed after screed—”Donald Trump’s Bigotry”, “The Duplicity of Donald Trump”, etc. etc.
And the equally corybantic Twitter runs with these headlines—ALWYS featuring them on their “Trends”.
If they think that they are going to fool American voters into electing Hillary and the Dims with these tactics, they should think again!
We’re totally FED UP with “deplorable” Hillary, and her frenzied propagandists in “mainstream” and social media!!!!
All of DC is corybantic that Donald Trump may be running unopposed*
*With all due apologies to Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, and Egg McMuffin.
I think Team Obama has figured their way to retain power in DC and the DNC is take out Hillary. A loss by Hill puts the Clintons out of their hair too.
True but what about ballot deadline that have passed in most states. Overseas military absentee ballots go out in 2 weeks.
Voters really vote for a slate of electors, so I don’t think there is any impediment to having the electors for Hillary pledge to vote for Biden.
And there’s always The Lautenberg Precedent (i.e. rules don’t matter).
Very true.
You just might have problems with ballots already cast, vs. new ones AND voter backlash or at least depressed turnout with a vote for Hill and get Joe slogan.
I wonder what kind of odds I could get on a Trump/Kaine end result. House picking Trump. Senate picking Kaine as an end result.
A++ they are getting desperate
This is why early voting is stupid.
(Absentee balloting with a good reason is a different story. Early voting just because people can’t be bothered to vote on Election Day is stupid and I would argue unconstitutional.)
A+++ oh Lord my nerves are shot!
and early voting has begun already.
I could not agree with you more.
