Worthy of a third rate hardware store. yikes.
 
Hilary would have to win the Democratic primary in order to be on the presidential ticket right? Who else is running besides her? I want Biden, but he's yet to say anything right?
 
I think this is something that the Republicans need. To get scolded by a woman. That'll set their ass straight.

Seriously. I wouldn't be half the man I am now if I didn't have a Mom, a Wife and a Daughter.

Get 'em Hill.
 
I'm still hesitant about her for the same reason I was hesitant about her in 2008...

She voted for the Iraq War.

No one, now. I mean, they'll say they're thinking about running, or say they're running, but Hillary is the only one running. This ticket is punched.

Whoever runs against her will just be a sacrificial lamb to give the appearance that she wasn't coronated.
 
Since this is the first election I can vote in I am pretty interested in how this plays out. It's frustrating that everyone my age just pick the party of whatever their parents are and regurgitate whatever their parents told them with nothing else. And thus begins the most terrible time on the internet my friends.

Most important issue in a presidential election:
Supreme Court

Second most important issue in a presidential election:
Supreme Court

Third most important issue in a presidential election:
Supreme Court


At least to me.

Yup, this guy knows what's up. Next president might see two appointments in first term.

Cunnilingus now too? Must be tough to be a Republican's wife.

In a lot of older conservative culture, performing oral sex on a woman is seen as only a step above being gay, as it somehow degrades your "manliness."

I'm pretty sure it's why someone tried to kill Uncle Jr. in an episode of the Sopranos.
 
Not American, but Ted Cruz and Rand Paul are running for president on the Republican side right? Looked them up a bit and yikes. Is Ted Cruz really the chairman of the subcommittee on Space, Science, and Competitiveness? El oh el.

Wonder if anyone else is going to run for the Democrats. Biden? Guess it's pretty hard going up against Hilary.
 
Oh so that explains the #WhyImNotVotingForHillary hashtag that is trending on twitter.

I wonder if the US ready for a female President?

The money all of these guys raise could help fix the water problem in California, or dig a state out of debt, or go to schools. Its just a waste of money on everyone's part. 90% of the country are voting for a "team." the people in the middle (like myself) usually get their information from the internet now. Just make a bullet point of their views and promises they'll eventually back away from, and lets move on.

The water problem and state debt problems aren't so easily fixed by money. Throwing money at those things don't fix the roots of the problems, which stem from water regulations and state-implemented tax cuts that weren't properly evaluated before becoming legislation.

You can say 'waste of money' but the money put into political campaigns are often used to help register voters, arrange transport, gather data on people's opinions, reach out to those who might have difficulty reaching the voting locations on the day of, and so on. If we are to stop and evaluate how such and such is a waste of money, then why spend on entertainment, or on large meals or lots of groceries? Isn't that movie ticket a waste of money, compared to ensuring someone gets registered to vote? Isn't that video game a waste of money, compared to getting a disabled person to the voting booth?

I wouldn't be so quick to presume that 90% of the country gets their information from the internet. Just because you would just look at internet videos and surf for information doesn't mean the older demographic knows how to navigate any of this—and they are the ones most likely to vote in comparison to the 18-29 block.
 
Hillary needs to go after seniors hard.

Propose an expansion of Social Security by removing the income cap on the SS tax, and make it a central campaign issue.

Watch as the GOP candidate hopelessly trips over himself.
 
She is going to run on trying to reduce income equality, paid leave, higher minimum wage, and such. Some polls show some people care about that on some of those issues, but I don't know if it's something that really going to get people out there to vote for her.

Interesting to see her stances on education, foreign policy, justice including subjects about race, healthcare, and immigration. Hillary did support Obama on some of those issues.

It begins. Didnt say 90% of people use the internet, i said 90% have a "team" they vote for.

The "independents" (stupid term hence the quotes) are usually younger and likely aren't going to be swayed by a candidate flying to Iowa or Ohio and shaking hands with people who donated money to the candidates and promising false promises.

GAF as a whole is very Democratic (full disclosure i voted for Obama twice), most already have their "team" and will vote for their team regardless who wins. Hilary hasn't even announced her platform or opinions and theres a bunch of people saying they'll vote for her. I'm sure the same is being said on another forum for Cruz, and whoever else decides to run.

Obama won the first term because of his internet media and outreach to the younger voters(among other things). Everyone and their grandmother had a smartphone nowadays. If they can look up directions, they can go to their favorite news site or news channel and get the info they need.
 
A woman president right after a black president in office....this will speak volumes, this will be huge for the progression of this country....
 
It annoys me what a horse race the Presidential election is. The sad thing is its better than it used to be, you should see all the crap the media used to spew about people like Jefferson and Adams who were actually respected figures for having done something meaningful. The media today is actually an improvement, which is sad because it's still terrible.
