I love this ha ha!

But, Schultz? What a joke. Like anyone would want to vote for yet another rich billionaire white guy with ZERO governing experience. Yeesh. Anyone who did that this last time, who had previously voted for Barack, for instance, won't be fooled twice. Sure, I'm qualified to be the leader of the free world, because I figured out how to sell overpriced coffee to the masses! And I don't need to take PAC money because I'm rich enough to fund my own vanity campaign!

Anyway, I just really can't imagine anyone choosing that over any qualified candidate. It's not like he has been an advocate of the people for years, like some other viable independent candidates in the past. I just don't see him being a threat to either side, frankly - Republican or Democrat.

Just really, what's with these guys who haven't ever even run for mayor trying to buy their way into the White House? Please let Trump be some weird blip in our history.

I thought I heard somewhere, that one of the Kennedy kids or grandkids might run (speaking of rich white guys, haha). One of the ones with Congressional experience.

At least we can be grateful that AH-nold can't run! *whew* Close call, eh?

That's the impression I get about Andrew Gillum, what I've seen of him so far. But he's not running.

I love Harris—I like Warren..Biden—.I like ANY of them because they are ALL intelligent, Americans and not sociopathic or narcissistic like the monster we have running our nation off a cliff right now.

Heck, I’d vote for a potted plant or my 7 year old niece since she even cares about her friends, family, animals, Americans, humans in general, planet, ocean, climate change, etc.
Yes. It's all too early. Let everything and everybody sort themselves out and we will see then.

Rather, I think it's much more likely that Trumpty-Dumpty would have a great fall. He's known for being the hysterical type. But Warren is too classy to stoop to his tactics, so, he would only be expected to be intelligent and knowledgeable, in a debate.


Oops.

Warren is like one of the fragile snowflakes who believe everyone has their safe places that can never be violated.

Maybe you mean the one with the spittle on his face? Yeah, we need to move forward with younger energy and not go backwards to one of the American royalty families, for sure.

Actually, Arnold was okay by me as governor. He actually did a lot of good, even though the state legislature tied his hands on a lot of changes he wanted to make. I actually voted for him, and to oust Gray Davis, and I'm still okay with doing both - as a Democrat. After all, Arnold married into the democratic Kennedy family. I figure he knew how to reach across the aisle.

He was the only candidate, right on the heels of 911, who was forthright about his opposition to giving illegal immigrants legal driver's licenses. I still don't understand why any candidates would have thought that was a good idea, other than maybe they were getting money from the insurance industry who couldn't wait to insure the new drivers license holders. It was just insane to imagine an illegal terrorist coming into California and being able to get a state ID that they could then take to another state, etc. Remember, this was right after terrorists who overstayed student visas hijacked airlines and drove them into the twin towers in NY and the Pentagon, etc. It had nothing to do with Mexican immigrants. It was just about illegal immigrants getting a legal ID that would make them appear to be here legally. It was just an insane idea for that time, and still is, in my opinion. And no, I'm not for Trump's border wall. Not the same thing. Anyway, I was glad he addressed the issue with reason, as were enough other people including Democrats, to get him elected.

It's funny how our idea of a demon Republican has changed. The ones we used to demonize look like saints now and very reasonable compared to what's happening with the GOP now.

If you don't mind me stepping off-topic for a moment, the reason to allow illegals to have driver's licenses, is so that they can insure the cars they drive. Having uninsured drivers around creates chaos. Many of them will drive, whether they have a license or not, so the question is; do you want a lot of uninsured drivers out there loose, or do you want to contain the problem? Bill Richardson, the guv of NM 2003-2011, decided it was better to have them insured.

So, a system was created in which illegal residents got DL's that were tagged as belonging to non-legal residents. It's a different license than legal residents get, but it allows them to get insurance for their cars. And they do insure their cars, when given the opportunity.

KH can't wait to be President and put more single mothers in jail who don't agree with how Kamala wants to nanny-state us into parenting.
