Well I agree with that. Certainly for the alternatives that were presented (sometimes McCain seems like a reasonable person, but other times not so much). I don’t think that changes the absolute fact that the economy did not do well under Obama and that the “economic recovery” was mostly captured by a small percentage of the very rich.
Remember median is the number in the middle, 50% above and 50% below, so it’s not really skewed by people at the top getting richer. The number in the middle is going down. The sum divided by the population is going up - that’s the thing skewed upward by more millions for millionaires.
Would have like your post if I could’ve brought myself to click ‘like’ on shit that makes me want to kill. Fucking ‘Correct’ the Record scum peddling antitruth all need to be drowned, in HCl.
Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton moves a little closer (181 delegates needed) to securing the democratic presidential nomination, with a pre-"Mothers Day"gift in the form of a victory in the Guam Democratic Caucuses today. Reports say including pledged/elected delegates won and superdelegates pledged, Hillary won 8 or 9 Guam delegates to Bernie Sanders 3.
Clinton won 777 votes to the Vermont senator’s 528.
The former secretary of state, who holds a wide delegate lead over Sanders, earned four pledged delegates, while Sanders gained three.
The party chairman and vice chairwoman, previously uncommitted superdelegates, announced their support of Clinton in light of the caucus results, giving her the support of all five Guam superdelegates.
Potentially this could be great news for the Democratic Party. More importantly it is potentially great news for America, regarding who leads America moving forward, in the positions of president and vice-president.
Bernie Sanders has hinted at being open to join the Hillary Clinton ticket as her Vice President, but first, he’s focused on the nomination.
From the same linked article above.
According to Evelyn Wolfson, in a letter to the New York Times Sanders’ supporters and Clinton’s “haters” could stay away from the polls if Sanders is not Clinton’s VP pick.
“Bernie supporters and Hillary haters may very well stay away from the polls this November while Trump supporters will continue to show up in record numbers. Has Bernie’s candidacy taught the powers that be in the Democratic Party anything? I fear not. Democrats have little chance of remaining in the White House unless Bernie is on the ticket — something Hillary must be made to understand…”
I disagree with Evelyn Wolfson on who and why potential voters will or won’t vote this coming November. I am however on record as supporting and believing that Bernie Sanders would make a great vice-president and meet the first two requirements of a vice-president and V.P. pick…i.e.–can and is the vice-president qualified to become president in an emergency–and can the V.P. choice help win swing states, specifically electoral college votes that come from winning swing states.
Joe Biden has been a great Vice-President. I couldn’t agree more with his prediction about the upcoming 2016 presidential general election. His most recent comments also serve as constructive advice for both Hillary and Bernie, moving forward into the fall presidential general election.
Ma Clinton and Pa Sanders would make for great running mates. Clinton-Sanders 2016!
Mr. Biden, who flirted with making a run for president but ultimately decided to sit it out, in February chided Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Sanders, a Vermont senator, for being too downbeat in the tone of their campaigns. “I think both Hillary and Bernie are basically on the same page, with different emphasis, on college, Wall Street, the 1%, civil rights, etcetera,” he said.
“What I don’t think they’re spending enough time doing is pushing back on the story line that what we did to get us to this point was a failure and a mistake.”
Ah, Joe. You’ve come a long way from your modest childhood growing up in a coal-mining town in Wales! But your crowning achievement was surely the way you cleverly undermined Anita Hill, ensuring Long Dong Thomas’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.
Well to rectify that mistake by Biden, people should be eager and first in line to vote for a democrat in the 2016 presidential general election–be it Hillary or Bernie.
No one would or should, want Donald Trump to appoint the next several U.S. Supreme Court Justices. A 5-4 or 6-3 democratic appointed U.S. Supreme Court will be the result when the voting electorate chooses Hillary, as she will be the inevitable democratic presidential nominee.
Vice-President Biden can redeem himself and correct his mistake, by campaigning for and supporting Hillary, which he will, and does.
People who are deeply concerned about the events that led up to the confirmation of Clarence Thomas, can vote for Hillary and change the course and face of the U.S.Supreme Court–which will be a branch of government that will be critical in the fight for the social, cultural, political, soul and direction of America.
Why (** *** ***) to vote for Hillary Clinton?
So America will have a democratic appointed and controlled U.S. Supreme Court.
Has there been a major 9/11 foreign terrorist attack launched against America, where thousands of lives have been lost and changed, since the passage of “The U.S. Patriot Act of 2001”?
If a person dislikes “The U.S. Patriot Act of 2001” for whatever reason, justified or unjustified–what government legislation or actions should be identified, justified and implemented instead, to try and protect and keep America safe from foreign and domestic terrorist attacks?
Instead of collecting more information than can ever possibly be sorted through, limit yourself to collecting information for which you have sufficient probable cause to obtain a targeted warrant, and then hire enough smart people to look at all of that information.
Abolish (or scale back 90%) the TSA; expand the Air Marshals.
Withdraw all forces from the Middle East and stop propping up governments there - humanitarian aid only. You’ll get short-term chaos for a couple of decades as the area sorts itself out, but when it does, it will be stronger for having done so on its own.
“You are aware how mad that sounds right? Since I bought my new gloves, I’ve have yet to be attacked by a Labrador!”
Sounds mad to me, especially since buying new gloves is not related to, designed for, nor will they be effective in stopping a vicious attack by a Labrador.
This is very strange logic. You might as well say that to rectify Bush’s mistake in going to war in Iraq, people should be eager to vote for a Republican.
You know who led the attack on Anita Hill? David Brock. You know who Brock does for a living these days? Oh yeah, he runs a Clinton super-PAC. With friends like these, it is hard to have confidence in a Clinton choice for Supreme Court Justice.
Unless a person supports Donald Trump appointing the next several U.S.Supreme Court Justices, the only question is whether a person wants Hillary Clinton (a democrat) or Donald Trump (a republican) to appoint the next several U.S. Supreme Court Justices.
The 2016 presidential general election will inevitably be between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. One of the decisions voters have to make, is whether they want a democrat or republican to appoint the next several U.S. Supreme Court Justices. Especially given the social, cultural and political significance of having a republican appointed and leaning U.S. Supreme Court versus a democratic appointed and leaning U.S.Supreme Court
