Just noticed Melania has no knee caps. Must be hard to walk. Poor thing.
 
That would be a disaster. Never mind all the bad things Trump is doing right now, getting three Supreme Court justices (in possibly less than one term!) would have effects far greater and longer lasting than anything else he could do (except possibly nuclear war or catastrophic climate change).

That's the sad reality. Even if Trump were forced out of office today, the administrations judicial appointments will have a legacy that lasts for decades.
 
Surely Centrist Obama would have gotten another centrist in? Power to the people now, we'll have a replacement under the Bern

When the alternative is a crony who is hand picked by the heritage foundation, i'd choose a centrist any day of the week.
 
Yeah I don't think money would be Gavin's issue. Being married to Drumpf Jr's new girlfriend would however likely sink him since she would funnel a massive binder of oppo research on him.

unless he has done something wrong with regards in his official capacity, it would all be gossip.
Think Trump has made us immune to all the seedy stuff.

In the end it will be the platform he runs on. Having said that, should Bernie run, he has earned my vote. The eventual nominee will have to be pretty darn close to what Bernie stands for.

If Newsom runs against Trump, whatever he has done, including that godawful photo pales in comparison to the orange moronstar. However, Bernie should really run. If he doesn't, someone like Warren that is agreeable to the grassroots
 
Its weird to have separation of Church and State written into the Constitution and yet still have this tradition of "swearing in on the Bible". I suppose its also archaic to presume that swearing on anything means much in modern cultures. More than half these Congresspeople should be swearing in on a stack of Federal Reserve notes.
Also , "In God we trust" on the dollar bill, doesn't sound like a secular society to be honest.

Newsom has said that he is not going to run in 2020. Perhaps in 2024 or 2028.
 
Newsom can do great things and set the marker as the Governor of California. A presidential run will eat up all his time and leave the state neglected.

Beto too should try to win Cornyn's seat in 2020 first before dreaming about the presidency.

I know running against Trump presents an excellent chance for every half decent Democrat to win, but those two need to bide their time for now. Gramps should put all his support behind Lizzy Warren & let her have a free run. There is appetite in the Dem base for a progressive female president and Lizzy is the best candidate available. She trumps the likes of Klobuchar, Harris or Gillibrand in terms of appeal & a clear agenda. She'll be much better positioned to take on Biden or anyone else in the primaries if she has Bernie's backing.

I am all for #ElizabethWarren2020.
 


forget policy differences and actual political goals, all these people care about is protecting members of their club and seniority within said club. the world is burning and they literally do not care

The Democrats are going to tear their own party apart, and Trump will win 2020:nervous:
 
There will be a civil war within the democratic party at one point for sure as the old establishment do not like being challenged just like in any society. If the establishment part of the party refuses to change it´s way and drop the pandering to the elites of society and corporations, then they must be challenged the hard way and force them out through an intense political war. The Democratic party need to address issues that ordinary people suffer from like overly expensive education, not enough good jobs or obscene health care costs. People that have been in a place a long time often believe they own the place due to being seniors regardless of their performance and results. It is time for political change in America and the establishment fearing AOC´s popularity only shows they fear they will end up being the losers as they are losing grip on the political discourse in America, due to the progressive and the DSA movements gaining traction in recent years.
