    We've noticed that a lot about you lately.

    You're the one who has spent the last two pages whining about the fact that certain people are allowed to run for president. Now you're blaming it on National Review. If you don't agree with them, then don't hold them up as support of your argument.

    This is very simple:

    1. The National Review said that candidates shouldn't view the presidency as an entry-level position.

    2. The National Review then said that this has become a problem in both parties.

    So, it follows: Which Democratic candidates have treated the presidency as an entry-level position?

    The scary part is I think here you aren't trolling and that is actually the basis of the discussion.

    Actually, the problem I am having with the discussion is that people who would never, ever give credence to something in National Review are suddenly treating it as a Bible.

    The folks at NR -- and Dick -- seem to have a big problem with the voters having choices other than lifetime, fuck-up politicians. I happen to think it's good to have the choice. Let the voters decide. What are they afraid of?

    Yeah. You are actually misunderstanding the entire discussion. No biggie though.

    You're so stupid. I could give a fuck less who runs, as far as this conversation goes. I just want to know which Democrats ran in recent primaries who treated the presidency as an "entry-level" government position. The National Review views this as an equal problem in both parties. Who are the Democrats? That's all I want to know.

    With that margin of error, that poll is meaningless.

    It's not meaningless to go from +18 up to +8 down.

    She's a terrible, terrible candidate, and the Democratic party has put all of its eggs in her basket for eight years and counting. Terrible. Political science books will be written about this shitshow.

    That margin of error makes the poll statistically meaningless. If it was 3 percent to maybe 4 percent, then, yeah, it would be relevant, but not at 6 percent.

    At worst, he's +2.

    At best, previously, he was -12.
