How can Secretary Clinton be such a heavy favorite?
Quote: SOOPOOGolly Bob, don't you know this is all just leftover from the Obama administration (wink...)
I stand by my prediction though. I think his style has turned off enough swing state voters that he will lose states that he won by a few points. And I doubt he wins a single state he didn't win in 2016. And you know I'd bet on it if you want!
New here, so maybe next year I will have enough standing to accept your bet. I truly believe, as impossible as it sounds, the Dems will run a worse candidate than Hillary in 2020.. Plus " It's the economy stupid" is as true as ever.

If you have cash, you have standing to make a bet
Don't have to be a long time member
I have 2 bets out there on this board
One with a long time member Boz so we trust each other
Another with a new member, Wellwellwell. New members bets, we have a trusted 3rd party member hold the money
Don't be shy, put your money up :-)

I do think it is possible the Dems will fall for the mistake of nominating a far left candidate who meets the “pure” test. A vocal minority of liberals are loudest with their anti business/ capitalism beliefs. And their candidate would win the early primaries and be unstoppable. But they would not be able to gather moderate support, who would stick with the known, Trump, than the unknown.
Like it or not, most middle class Americans don’t feel like they are victims and are not for redistribution of wealth. They do believe 99.99% ofpeople in jail deserve to be there and hard work still pays off.

Yes, TigerWu. This argument has been had time and again, whether calling someone something that you can objectively define them as is protected. As far as I can remember, in all the iterations of this argument I've seen, it's always been decreed that insults, even if true, are not protected.
I'm sure you can fix your end. I'll make sure EB isn't beside himself with anguish. And hopefully we can just carry on...
No problem.
I'm done.

Naw, it's Hillary again, I'm telling you.

everybody, and she's out there right
now campaigning for 2020. She'll
give them no choice, in her tiny mind
she's already president..

Is someone bookmarking all these "Hillary 2020" posts of EB's so we can rub them in his face when she's not the nominee?

hurting those Dems in her party that
are running. Never seen anything like
this in my life, this long after an election
and the losing candidate keeping themselves
in the news daily.

I know I just said something like this on the other thread, but the problem with this policy, is that people can literally write anything, and there are no consequences. This makes a forum a breeding ground for trolls. I'm not sure what can be done. You don't want people just insulting people all the time, but you also don't want someone to be able to say things like "this person said there was a 51% chance of this team winning and they lost, so what do they know."
Oh well, I'll probably be out of here on another 2 year vacation from the forum after my trip in June anyway.
I'm not sure I follow, Fins. There are usually consequences for "writing any damn thing"; I say "usually" because there are times when mods do not see and members do not advise, so sure, it happens. But for sure there is no, and has never been, any sort of "no holds barred" atmosphere here.
UNLESS you meant "anyone can write anything" as "anyone can write inflammatory horseflop meant to provoke", such as repeating accolades/insults for Trump/Clinton, being hyper-conspiratist, et al. If THAT'S what you meant, then...well... sorry? I see it, but Wiz and therefore this forum is big on free speech (a stance I wholly support). Having to hear about Chinese decks in BJ, German scheissegraphs in VP and non random random number generators is the cost of doing business. Fortunately, we as well as just about every single member is ready and willing to debunk the bunk. We just can't outright censor, assuming it doesn't reach the "overly disruptive" threshold already present in the rules.

The real news is Trump ALL DAY and his investigation money laundering subpeonas and personal lawyers offices being raided

they can't accept. Like demanding
links and then laughing when they're
posted. You can't just cherry pick
the news you agree with and dismiss
the rest. That's why you lost the election.

If the news source repeatedly says things demonstrably false its not cherrypicking to ignore them
EDIT: Hell I live in the city. Im not a farmer. Maybe cherrypicking is where you leave the rotten cherries on the vine and just pick the sensible ones that are fresh and correct.
In that case cherrypicking is the correct thing to do here

shooting her mouth off. Today Bernie
is in the headlines slamming Hillary
and the Dems. You don't like it, that's
the real problem. But She is here to
stay and she's running, believe it.

But Romney is running
Hes in all the news headlines
He wouldn't do that ifnhe was not intending a presidential campaign
Plus Romney has most of the senators in his back pocket from all those kickbacks
He even admitted in 2012 he didnt really want to be president at the time. He was pushed into it to pay back all those senators he owed
He must owe again as he is clearly preparing his presidential bid

Come on. As EB points out Hillary tried a failed presidential bid. If she keeps herself in the news there can be only one reason why. She intends to run again
I am just agreeing with EB
Romney tried a failed presidential bid. There can be only one reason. He is intending to run for president again
Certainly you are not challenging EB's logic

Romney announced running for S-E-N-A-T-O-R.
Hillary, OTOH, clearly wants to run again. She ha to be political about saying she is not, but she has lied before about having no plans to run. So, you see, you are sounding a little silly when you say Romney is running again. But hey, hey, keep saying it if it makes you happy. I don't care, EB doesn't care. What EB and I know, though, is the libs here go ape when it is brought up that Hillary is running again. As if it scares them to death.
I will never get why. Why would libs who said she was the most qualified POTUS candidate IN HISTORY be upset about her running again?

You dont actually believe he is just running for senator? He has to be politic by not putting his presidential bid out there too early
Why are righties so off the handle because the guy they said was so qualified to run in 2012 is running again for president

Trump runs as an independent

It certainly is plausible, although unlikely. Romney is already 71 now. It is an energy draining job to run for President, then be President. Should be left to men or women a decade younger at least. Although we did elect an old man just two years ago....
