Any guesses on who will be the two final nominees ...

Clinton as president is a gross thought....How anyone can find her trustworthy is beyond me.....

I agree-I thought she was going to be on trial/prison for all the stuff she's done, but I guess if you make enough money or come from the right families you can do whatever you want and just deny deny deny and not get into trouble for it.

Thought this was interesting, someone posted it on FB and its supposedly confirmed quotes by her. Not sure how she gets votes if she really says that about her voters

FYI: I have no dog in this fight since I now live in Canada, and didn't follow much of it until recently. I actually was quite shocked to see those quotes myself-but some people really do live in another world I guess if they are true!

^Yes, I guess what I find most amusing is how some folks take jabs at the Republican candidates (I've heard various commentary like "not my circus, not my monkeys" etc.), but look at the Clinton/Sanders train wreck Both parties have "issues" as far as I'm concerned...

A quick fact-check shows that quotes #3, 4, 7, and 8 (as counted from the top) are not anywhere in the supposed source material linked for that quote. I suspect the others are similarly made up.

I guess the sites with an axe to grind don't bother worrying about the truth of what they spew, because they know those who agree will not bother to check, and for the most part, those who disagree won't be there in the first place.

For those who find Sanders scary, I can't imagine how, unless an educated population with reduced access to guns and women who control their own bodies is scary. But he's not going to get the nomination anyway, so it's a moot point. A scary socialistic-al nanny-state won't happen here and we can proudly continue being the only industrialized country without paid leave for new parents or mandated sick leave for workers. Go USA!

I predict it will be Hillary vs Rubio if the establishment prevails, or Cruz if the nut job wing gets its way.

^Yes, Sanders scares me too - about as much as Hillary....

...Don't say that b/c there are too many Liberals here on PS..

There is a part of me that would love to see Hillary and Carly in a debate. Let CNBC pick the questions, they did such a good job of stirring the pot.

On the right I like Rubio, on the left I liked Webb. Too bad he dropped out.

Talk about nut jobs... IMO Sanders. Scary man! He and Trump would be an entertaining and loud debate.

What is scary about Bernie Sanders?

Maybe that he's from Vermont.

No, he's actually a deep-cover stealth candidate from somewhere in scary oppressed Europe.

 

[zoebartlett]

Sanders and Clinton are scary? They're my top two choices. Now a few on the other side of the aisle...that I'd agree with.

 

[momhappy]

^there are some scary choices on both sides - I don't think that anyone has argued with that

No.
Jimmy Kimmel would do that.

Personally, I find many things scary about Sanders. The most glaring is his lack of financial responsibility. If you add up his agenda items, it would cost about 18 trillion dollars (and that's a conservative figure which doesn't even include his "free college" program among others). I am certainly not surprised by this since he himself claims to have about $65,000 in personal credit card debt....
The election is exactly one year away today

Too boring. Read this instead. "Poppy Bush Gives Junior A Spanking". Maureen Dowd gives us some insight into what George Herbert Walker Bush really thought about W's abysmal performance as president and how he tore up the Middle East, setting the stage for ISIS. Only, as she says it, he had to do it through a biographer since the Bush family doesn't actually talk to each other directly. Fascinating. Although not unexpected, since the elder President Bush was never a moron. After all, he was content with getting Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait. Remember? He didn't try to take over Iraq like a certain macho wacko who shall remain nameless.

I thought I should give you a taste of what Maureen wrote. There's more good stuff where that came from.

"Like many uptight, upper-class families, the Bushes seem oddly unable to directly confront tensions and resentments and talk to each other candidly. With other families, the unsaid and circuitous end up rupturing relationships. In the case of the Bushes, it ended up rupturing the globe.

Like Queen Cersei, old King George knows that revenge is a dish that doesn’t lose its flavor when served cold. After more than a decade of publicly keeping his lips zipped, Poppy Bush took his full measure of payback in Jon Meacham’s new biography, 'Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush.'

While W. used to say that what he liked about Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld was their brass appendages, Poppy offered a dimmer anatomical appraisal, calling each an 'iron-ass.'

He said he thought Rumsfeld served W. badly, and Rumsfeld responded with his usual charm, noting 'Bush 41 is getting up in years.'

The gentlemanly 91-year-old is not going gentle into that good night. He finally spit out what he had been obsessing about privately for so long: Why did Cheney, 41’s loyal defense secretary, turn so belligerent and unilateral, 'knuckling under to the real hard-charging guys who want to fight about everything and use force to get our way in the Middle East'? How did the neocons manage to push his son’s administration into pursuing their foolish agenda of refashioning the Middle East at the point of a gun?

He ultimately faults his son for the administration’s deadly embrace of Cheney and the neocons and for allowing Cheney to create his own national security apparatus, noting: 'But it’s not Cheney’s fault. It’s the president’s fault,' adding at another point, 'The buck stops there.'"

So who won the GOP debate last night? I didn't watch the debate b/c we went out for dinner.

Are you still taking Maureen Dowd seriously as a journalist or expert of any kind?

Even Joe Biden has called Dowd an idiot . . . and it only took a quick Google to find just how many other people have said the same thing. The left has as much use for her as the right, it seems.

I think Holly is Carly Fiorina.. Holly, you and I can turn this country around...

I like Rubio's Immigration policy.

Did you watch the GOP debate last night? I think Rubio will be the GOP's nominee.

 

[Laila619]

I think Cruz will be it.

 

[momhappy]

I still don't feel like I could predict the final two.
I watched the debate last night and it's not wonder some people call it a circus. Some of the questions they were asked were utterly ridiculous. Carson was asked, "Would you be okay with killing thousands of innocent children...." WTF I was very disappointed with the moderators and the overall tone of the debate.

 

[kenny]

I think Rubio will be the GOP's nominee.

Why not say the front runner, Trump?

Because bottom line is I don't believe the polls. Or rather, I don't believe they reflect what will actually happen. I believe Trump has a lot of fans, but he is very polarizing and thus, I do not believe he will get the nom.
