Marianne Williamson, New Age Guru turned Democratic Presendential Candidate played footsy with 9/11 Truthers back in 2012: https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/19/politics/marianne-williamson-911-conspiracy-theories-kfile/index.html I say sort of because her bid was going nowhere fast, but already...

Your claim was about Warren's position on the matter. I'm still waiting for you to support that. This is a continuation from here

Does it worry you he's thrown his hat in? Are you trying to influence me to lose respect for him? It's a given he won't be your candidate. Thread is a continuation from here. You may quote or reply to any of the posts from that part here.

Ross Perot, billionaire tycoon and 2-time presidential candidate, dies at 89 https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/07/09/politics/ross-perot-dead/index.html

America needs a certified genius in office. Ted Cruz graduated Magna cum laude from Harvard and Princeton. He seems to behave himself and be a gentleman and quite frankly that's why he lost to Trump. During the debates, Trump was not nice whereas Ted Cruz was. Ted Cruz is who I wanted to...

Bernie Sanders at the Fox News town hall Monday evening. I'm impressed with his crowd control there, something I haven't seen too much of, let alone in an event hosted by conservatives. He knows the stakes this time around. :D p4ozAACcc8I I do wish he did better explaining the false...

The time has come. Berning down the house

The twist is that Planet X is post-apocalyptic Earth.

Which could throw a monkey wrench into the Democrats plan to nominate a hard line liberal. I don't know why they say "Few" when they mean "No." It's true that a few independent candidates have gotten a significant amount of votes, but none of them have actually been successful in the sense...

George Papadopoulos @GeorgePapa19 · 7m Thank you very much for all the messages of support for my 2020 run and inquiries to join the team! Just getting started now. Building this from the ground-up, grassroots are the key. A long journey ahead to D.C...

Since I inadvertently started a thread digression (Sorry!), can we move the discussion here? What I said, which pretty much one and all disagreed with, was that I wish she'd take a damn DNA test and announce the results one way or another. I like Warren rather a lot. My point was that if she...

We don't know that. We don't know what role the grand jury has played in this. All we know is that one has been involved in some way at some point. But we already knew McCabe had been referred to prosecutors, and this doesn't seem to add any information to that as far as I can tell. What in...

...Drew over 1.7 million views. Link. You can watch the video here: pb2ZZ_iqi3w What's interesting is Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, if they run again, may be better served supporting each other in light of these cooperative events. I don't think they will run against each other.

John Anderson Dead at 95 I attended an election rally of his and shook his hand on the CU Boulder campus. The first presidential candidate I ever voted for. R.I.P.

It seems like DNC bigwigs are finally confirming that Hillary is indeed done: "Joe Biden knew he could beat Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination but decided not to run because he feared a “stop at nothing” smear campaign by her supporters, he reveals in a new...

I don't see a dedicated thread on this yet, although obviously the topic has come up in other threads quite often. For starters, I'm going to use Wikipedia's list and update where it seems appropriate. There are four key criteria, the satisfaction of any of which qualifies a person for...

I got into it with a few hardcore Bernie Bros on social media. Background: Polls show that the early favorite for the Dems in 2020 is California Senator Harris. The Bernie Bros hated this and I had to ask why. Indeed I asked what policy position she has that they hate. I got no real answer...

https://www.yahoo.com/news/misogyny-played-role-election-loss-clinton-233904460.html "Hillary Clinton said Thursday that misogyny "certainly" played a role in her bruising defeat to Donald Trump in last year's US presidential election, giving her first public interview since that shock loss."...

There's only one reason that I, a voter from a swing state, voted for Donald Trump. The 2020 election! Let's be honest, this was one unique election, an entertaining outsider republican with a rabid fan base vs a dull low energy establishment candidate with a fan base of soccer moms. In the...

http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/15/politics/donald-trump-campaign-rally/ "Less than a month into office, President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday the first rally since his inauguration. The President tweeted an announcement for the rally set for Saturday in Melbourne, Florida. "Join me in...

One of the major criticisms of the Democratic party this year was that Hillary Clinton was pretty much anointed as the "presumptive" nominee years ago, certainly after 2012, maybe after 2008, despite her weaknesses. Thought experiment: Suppose Hillary had announced early that one presidential...

Might as well get started early. Or has it already started? Beelzebub or Bozo the Clown?

By this I mean he acknowledges that he lost fair and square. I say almost certainly not.

Job done and dusted I think. No one goes against Springsteen

The ghostwriter for "The Art of The Deal" laments Trump's 200-word vocabulary. I think this is hyperbole; if you count articles, conjunctions, prepositions and pronouns I'm sure he knows more than 200 words. He can name at least 4 countries and has mastered a few more proper names, such as those...

Mixed in the stories about Hillary Clinton, you will see the personal,"feel good" stories. For example, there's the story of when she went undercover in the south to expose racism in school admissions. I read a story once about Clinton attending a memorial service in NY for a woman who as a...

The previous thread was getting long and generating duplicate posts, so I have opened this shiny new continuation thread. As usual, the split point was arbitrary and participants are free to respond to points made in previous iterations of the thread. That seems sensible. And you're not...
