LOL to all of that, thanks for the funniest post of the day!!!! My three year old is more qualified than Hillary

No wonder Trump leads you down a garden path with his nonsensical Birther and tough man talk. Your grasp of facts and fiction is all mixed up in a blender.
Tried to rep you but couldn't. You summed it up perfectly.

If that were so better things would be happening in Congress.
As it is I can't tell them apart from the Dems.

How?


"Stand her ground"?
She flip flops.

I'd write in Trump's campaign manager, by then he(she) would have proven him(her)self to be a genius.

Clinton.

Then I'd wake up and tell my wife about the silly, utterly impossible dream I just had.

I'm fascinated that people think Donald Trump (or Ben Carson, or Carly Fiorina) will be the Republican nominee. Do you people pay any attention at all to how the major parties select their nominees in the modern era? None of those three has any shot to even win a single primary or caucus, much less the nomination.

There are three kinds of nominees - people who have served in Congress or as a Governor. And even those who served on the House (as opposed to the Senate) need to take the backdoor of the Vice Presidency in order to get nominated in a Presidential election.

It's plausible that a member of the House might rarely become a major-party nominee. Even more of a stretch is a powerful cabinet member (State, Defense) or mayor of a major city (New York). A CEO? A real estate magnate? A surgeon?

It's not going to happen. No, the fact that you really, really, really want it to happen does not make it plausible. It's probably going to be Jeb (a Governor). Maybe it'll be Rubio (a Senator). Longer shots are Perry (Governor), Paul (Senator), Walker (Governor), Santorum (Senator), Kasich (Governor), Huckabee (Governor). Governors and Senators - noticing the pattern yet? Really, that's it. No one else has any shot at all.

Pay attention. History may not repeat itself, but it rhymes. It has much to teach, but only if you pay attention.

I would ensure my (VERY minor) place in history by writing in my own name before I would vote for hillary OR trump.
