Although I don't like his politics, Joe Biden is not a clown and the role he plays in the Obama administration is an interesting one. Joe Biden is what I call a trial balloon for Obama's ideas/plans. He's been tagged as everyone's lovable crazy uncle but it works. If Obama is thinking of doing something controversial, he sends Biden out to mention it/let it slip when he's talking to some audience. Then Obama and his minions sit back and wait for the reaction from the media and the Democrat voters after the story is carried by the media. If they respond favorably/enthusiastically, Obama says Biden jumped the gun and he (Obama) was actually planning a bigger (formal) announcement sometime soon. If the reaction from the media and Democrat voters is unfavorable, someone close to Obama (but not Obama himself) will chuckle and laugh it off as it's just Crazy Joe saying stuff and everyone has a good laugh. This seemed to happen more during his first term but as a tactic, I'd have to say it's a good one. If I could give you the example you might remember best, it was the end of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

You think Hillary is going to get a majority vote and you think Republicans are dysfunctional? Anyone who votes for Hillary has serious issues, far deeper than any Republican candidate or voter.

It's about preventing another disastrous GOP presidency. About half the population would rather vote for Hillary than any GOP nominee.

Can you say "President Walker"?
Walker's best chances is if the left actually doesnt focus on Clintons "lies".. let her become the nominee, and then let the Republican establishment pound on them.

The fact that they are talking non stop about them now, indicates they probably fear she actually will become the nominee..

Angry The Press will have to decide?

The Liberal non news net works is going to have to draw a line. The Lies of the Obama , Clinton are getting too numerous and hard to hide with smoking mirrors.

Do they risk further degrade of their news quality?

Starting out, people lime what he espouses, because its the opposite of what we have. Trump may have a better chance than Perot, because bes not going up against an incumbent , for the primary. Idk. We'll see.

Our leadership prospects look grim....



Sadly they have been grim for a very long time.

Trump currently polls in first place:
RealClearPolitics - Election 2016 - 2016 Republican Presidential Nomination

As far as quality, the following are more constructive than destructive for the nation (in order of probable best to middle):
Paul, Fiorina, Walker, Cruz, Trump

These are the reverse (in order of worst to middle):
Clinton, Bush, Rubio, Graham, Sanders, Christie, Kasich, Huckabee, Carson, Perry, Jindal, Santorum

Bill has that down home folksy charm and was adored by the press. Hillary is Martha Stewart without the friendly personality. Only time she shows emotion in a natural way is when she's angry. Even when she laughs and smiles it seems faked, forced, or unusual for her face. Lately she's been refusing to answer questions from the press, keeping the press out of the loop of fundraising events, tying a rope around reporters covering one of her events (rope held by her staff to keep the reporters in check), and when she does answer questions it's only the most unemportant questions she'll allow asked that she'll answer. It's like being interviewed by Jay Leno on late night tv when a celebrity is promoting a new movie. Even the most die hard liberal Hillary supporting reporter will have enough and go after her as if she's a Republican candidate.
