True. At the same time, Rudy Giuliani was considered a “lock” for the GOP nomination.

[FlingWingFlyer]

By all rights, it’s Rimshot Joe Biden’s “turn” to be president.

I remember the smartest guy I know telling me in Jan 08 “there’s no way Americans are gonna vote for a guy named Baraq Hussein for President”

[Trueblackman]

Hell, I don’t have the money, but if we we’re little with RINO’s I would run as a Independent just to keep the RINOS out. NO more friggin RINO’S and Karl Rove backed candidates!

I think Hillary will crush SlowJoe and Cuomo by March 2016.

But I was completely wrong in 2008. I didn’t realize that the Chicago political mob had the info on Arkancides and could blackmail the Clintons.

BJ and Hillary couldn’t use their vaunted private detective force to publicize the truth about Obama.

[RC one]

Seems to me that Hillary won’t have much to brag about on the campaign trail. Obama has been a failure and Americans are waking up to that fact and and Hillary is thoroughly complicit in that failure. After another 3 years of his “fundamental transformation of America”, I think Americans are going to be hesitant to vote for anyone promising to deliver more of the same.

[struggle]

Throw Trey Gowdy in there and see what happens.

[Kip Russell]

Given that almost 50% of adult Americans don't pay a penny in income tax, and given the increasing numbers on various forms of government programs for the redistribution of income, we may have seen our last Republican president...ever.

I hope I'm wrong.

Check this vanity DU thread:

Why on Earth should we nominate a presidential candidate who voted for war with Iraq?

It was a colossal disaster, and completely avoidable. Most elected Democrats voted against war, but not the ones who wanted to look “presidential” - Hillary, Biden, Kerry, Edwards, and the rest of that crowd.

Looking “presidential” in exchange for hundreds of thousands of deaths.

Why would we trust one of these people with our future?

Do the anti-Clinton forces within the Democratic Party have anyone who could be even a half-way plausible opponent for the nomination in 2016? Hillary may have as much opposition as Obama had in 2012.

Given the demographic trends, I think you’re correct.

The only confounding factors I can see would be

1) markets finally puke on money creation making entitlements too expensive to continue at present levels

2) a 3rd party candidate (would have to be a liberal analog of Ross Perot, egotistical, famous and rich) lets us win with a plurality.
Bloomberg is one possibility, but he’s tight with the Clintons and would never oppose Hillary.

Hillary Clinton is a very ill old broad with more baggage than a railroad porter.

Sort of like announcing whats the best roadkill.

[truth_seeker]

“Throw Trey Gowdy in there and see what happens.”

There is a real household name.

I think the Clinton machine can shred most all potential challengers.

Baraq had the “nuclear weapon” of the Chicago mob and was able to completely neutralize their most valuable asset. Ironic that Hillary had the FBI files but the Chicago mob had the scoop on Arkancides.

Hillary Clinton and her driver were cruising along on a country road one evening when an ancient cow loomed in front of the car.

The driver tried to avoid it but couldn't. The aged bovine was struck and killed. Hillary told her driver to trek up to the farmhouse to explain to the owners what had happened, while she stayed in the car, wanting to avoid trouble at all costs! About an hour later, her driver staggered back to the car, with his clothes in complete disarray. He was holding a half-empty bottle of very expensive wine in one hand, a rare huge Cuban cigar in the other, and was smiling happily, smeared in lipstick!

"What the hell happened to you?" demanded Hillary.

"Well," the driver replied, "The farmer gave me the cigar, his wife gave me the wine and his beautiful two daughters made wild, passionate love to me."

"My God, what did you tell them?" Hillary asked?

The driver replied, "I just stepped inside the door and said to them, 'I'm Hillary Clinton's driver and I've just killed the old cow.' The rest happened so fast I couldn't stop it."

I fully expect the United States to adopt some form of Euro-socialism in the next 50 years. We're already partway there...but by 2050 our top marginal tax rate will likely be in the 50-75 percent range.

Can we survive such an economic system? Sure...depending on your value of "survive". While Europe certainly sees its share of economic crises, it's not as if they've seen their economies utterly collapse in the last 50 years. However, things that occur regularly in such countries such as crippling public sector strikes and massive redistribution of income are, I'm afraid, not too far in America's future.

NH has an open primary as I recall. But the re
Al problem is they are overrun with Massholes and VTvermin. Indigenous population didn't have a chance.
