I do say “Joseph Fucking Biden” but I voted for him and will do so next year and I’ll go to my grave** regarding Joe as the best Prez that I’ve lived under/lived with/whatever.

:D

Supposedly installed by our Founding Manpersons (to preserve slave holding states right to, er, hold slaves) to ENSURE that the (at the time, property holding white Manpersons) silly emotional masses didn’t elect a…what’s the word I’m looking for?…demagogue like Trump.

Hillary sucked** and hubby Willie certainly did certainly fuck his Stand-By-My-Man wife Hillary out of the Presidency, no? Damned tarmac visit!

Plus, you left out the most important ingredient and why Comey is even on your list at all ... the candidate's campaign sabotaging husband!

He “won” against the only Democrat that he could beat, Hillary Clinton ...

First off, the quotes are unnecessary.

And, actually, he lost to the only Democrat he couldn't beat in 2020 or any year. :)

2020 2.0

No, I do not think that Trump has any chance of re-election, but then I didn't think he had any chance the first time.

It would help if either party could come up with a viable opponent, but that seems to not be possibel.

Does that mean that you actually think that Trump has any chance of reelection? He “won” against the only Democrat that he could beat, Hillary Clinton, and he had a lot of help from the Russians, Comey and our fucking Electoral College (which prizes winning square miles over winning the majority of votes.)

I wouldn’t argue against the notion that Trump was the only Republican that Biden could beat. But Joseph Fucking Biden(!) won 81 million votes against your Dear Leader, and he’ll win reelection against Trump.

All Joe has to do is not die before 2025 and he’ll be a two teener.

Re " . . any chance of getting the nomination under any circumstances whatever"!

Anybody else around here remember how frequently and vigorously, that comment was offered publically in regard to some world-class asshole failed reality TV host in the leadup to 2016??

I'll bet Joy Behar remembers.

But your teasing conclusion that if the cards fall just right, perhaps even Scott could succeed and nab the nomination, is clearly ridiculous by your own arguments.

In your analysis of Nikki Haley's chances, you conclude quite correctly that "Haley also has the built-in problem of not being White and not being male -- in a very xenophobic and misogynistic Republican Party -- so I seriously doubt she'll ever do much better than 10 percent either."

The exact same limitation applies to Scott, clearly, only without the 'not being male' disqualifier. Substitute "very racist Republican Party" for "very xenophobic Republican Party", and stop joking that Scott has any chance of getting the nomination, under any circumstances whatever.

although i think it's highly unlikely to occur, from an entertainment perspective i can see why you'd like to see former NJ governor CC in the ring. there are whispers about various candidates (ron D included) privately calling donald a "moron," but CC's the only candidate i can picture actually coming out and saying it full and blunt under the big lights.

what other candidate can YOU picture saying this straight to donald's face on a debate stage?
