2016 Presidential Election Poll No. 2

I did not pay attention to this.

I fully support Warren because she's short and concise and hits the facts.

I've got to have faith that eventually the backers of those who would shut down progress of any sort for the sake of making a message will realize that stagnation is worse than at least some progress.

 

Warren is 67 years old. When does she plan to become president?

 

Damn, I did not realize she was that old. I figured she was around 60. That does put a little different spin on things.

Ever since Obama and the Democrat majority in Congress rammed through Obamacare without the help of one single Republican vote, one consequence of which was the Dems losing control of the House, the GOP has stubbornly operated under the philosophy that stagnation is better than progress in the wrong direction. In some cases, I agree; in others I don't. But, frankly, that's the way the two-party system in this country is supposed to work.

 

Unfortunately, this is true, which is what made Bernie's campaign so pie-in-the-sky foolish compared to HRC's more pragmatic, incremental approach. It didn't sound as pretty, but she wasn't making promises she couldn't keep.

But progressive regions of the country will be able to continue to move forward locally and Democrats will appoint federal judges for another decade or so in the short term and eventually the demographics will shift sufficiently enough to flip the House.

Meantime, Republicans can either choose to move to the center and join in a bipartisan government or they can continue to marginalize themselves out of existence. This should be a good opportunity for them. HRC is a centrist.

 

I heard somebody on the radio suggest her age makes her more likely to pass on the VP spot. What is she going to be doing for eight years? She most likely would prefer doing something as a senator before her time on the public stage runs out.

 

Usually I don't see the fuss over the VP, since all he/she does is break ties in the Senate and be handy if the president dies.

But I think Trump is going to need an insider because his lack of knowledge of how things work on Capitol Hill is obvious. And I think if he wins, I think someone's gonna shoot him.

Hillary may need someone strong as well just in case the Bengzahi or e-Mail troothers find their smoking gun.

 

She's 67. Bide her time for what?

Enough of the doddering grampas and grandmas.

By 2020, I want a constitutional amendment: Max age of 65 for POTUS.

 

"Don't trust anyone over ... 65?"

 

While you are correct I believe they have a rule that an election must be held in short order, maybe 6 months? But I think Warren would be more valuable as an outside hit squad on Trump and later in the Senate.

 

Now's not the time to get cute.

She needs to put her foot on the freaking gas and not let up. Safe pick time.

I have no doubt that Warren is being trotted out to appease the Warren fans and certain segments of women.

Probably the same is true of Castro and Hispanics.

Kasich would be the pick to ice this thing but I don't suppose he'd accept.
