That alone should be enough to keep republican incompetence out of the WH...
Look what years of Democratic ruling does to different places...

If the hilldebeast becomes president then she should appoint Chelsea as the next ambassador to Libya.

It's no guarantee there won't be another strong candidate like Barack Obama who came out of nowhere to win, is it?

Obama won because he had the wind to his back before Super Tuesday. Stephonaupolis called it perfect when he said whoever was up by 100 delegates would hold and win the nomination. Obama was up 118? delegates after Super Tuesday and won.

We could see a repeat of that, I hope the wind is on the back of either Webb or Manchin.

I hope Hillary is challenged on the Dem side, so she has to work hard to win the nomination. This will make her an even better candidate for the inevitable annihilation of the hapless Republican representative.
Wow! ! ! Just, efficking Wow! ! !

The only challenge clinton will have is who survives and which democratics are spared complete humiliation on a personal level. None of what she 'endures' will change anything about her. Well, maybe a 'pull' to iron out the wrinkles. She should try the pony tail stretch.

She's just the sad end of a failing republican democracy.

The new constitution would start... 'When the people have finally surrendered, what difference does it make...'

Meanwhile Obama's approval ratings are sub-50% and Democrats were run out of office in 2014. The debt is only getting higher and people are unsatisfied with the direction of the country. I'm not saying that some warmed over generic, establishment hack like Jeb Bush could win the White House but it's not going to be a cakewalk for the Democrats either.

Especially for Hillary. She's a very bad candidate. She's old, dry and school marmish and about as charming as a rattlesnake. She's perhaps the polar opposite of her husband who might be the greatest politician over the last 25 years or so. Sometimes it comes down to who people would rather have a beer with and Hillary Clinton is NOT winning that contest any time soon. She's not likable and that matters. It shouldn't really but it does. That is why Bush won two terms and part of the reason Obama won two terms. People don't really trust her outside of the Democratic base. She could win the presidency but I have a hard time seeing it because she's a very weak candidate. To counter this she's going to run on sexism and make it hard for people to criticize her but that will only get you so far.

What makes you think Christians eat at the Golden Corral, and that "backsliding Christians" post on C-D (in there underwear, no less!)?

The stuff you people make up! <SMH>
