.... I've watched every debate and town hall (Both Republican and Democratic), and have to admit, the Republicans are an embarrassment. That doesn't mean the Democratic side gets a pass ... they're running a danged twat and possible jailbird as well as a frigging Socialist! Politics have always been the shits, but this race is totally in the toilet IMHO. What a pathetic joke. :(

I agree that last night's debate was a fiasco....however, anyone with the least bit of common sense, could see that it was VERY evident Wolf Blitzer and his toadies asked mostly baited questions, so that Rubio and Cruz could double-team Trump....that's totally unfair, I don't care who the moderators like or dislike....Kasich made a very good showing of his political, economic, and foreign policy knowledge, and he had enough class to not get sucked into Wolf's hidden agenda, but he needs to just bow out.

Ben Carson is an intelligent and very likable guy....the moderators were so intent on asking baited questions, they acted as if he wasn't even on stage....Carson shoulda met Wolf in the parking lot, and bitch-slapped him.

Wolf and his toadies reminded me of little yap dogs, barking on the sidelines, goading on a dog fight.

They way the were all bickering last night was comical and sad, very very sad. Looks like they finally found some effective ways to needle Trump more effectively.

I'm out of town next week. So, I went and voted this morning at the Courthouse. I probably struggled more with this one than I have in almost 35 years of voting. I may be coming around to Bucky's way of thinking. Seriously. If Hilary and the Donald are the best this country has to offer, than the time for the Revolution is now. The System is irrevocably broken.

Too little too late....all of us with any common sense, have become accustomed to these media circuses, and expect nothing less....last night will change absolutely nobody's mind.

Please let the record show I am not a proponent of such an outcome........to the contrary. I'm merely prognosticating.

But if there is another inevitable outcome, I'm open to a discussion.

And so far I've not watched a single minute of any of them.......and I bet I can validly discuss every candidate better than someone who did.

Well if you think about it, what we have running for president should be expected. I mean what half way decent person, in their right mind, would seriously consider running for office these days? I certainly wouldn't want my life put under a microscope and have people totally dedicated to digging up any dirt they can find on me. Even if they couldn't find much they would start making stuff up (as we have seen time and again so far in this election year.) I wouldn't want my family subjected to scrutiny and criticism. I wouldn't want my every single word analyzed and gone over with a fine toothed comb. I wouldn't want my every word twisted into some kind semantic nightmare every time I opened my mouth. I honestly think one has to have a number of screws loose in their noggin to actually seek the office of president of the United States. Sadly, we all suffer for it.

What am I missing here? I read the FIRST one on the list and figured it was a joke, or did the point of this post go right over my head?

10. Obama: The Last President

Nostradamus predicted that Obama would be victorious in the 2013 elections, but he also predicted that Mr Barack Obama would be America’s LAST president.

So, he predicted this in the 16th century? Before the U.S, Obama or Presidential elections even existed? Something tells me I'm missing the joke and I'll be called "dense". :stupid:

Especially since he was re-elected in 2012 not 2013.

Really good points.

We sometimes forget that we're not really debating which cowboy would make a great President. We're just discussing which clown can best divert the bull.

I was being sarcastic, dufe :) I can't take anyone seriously when their name starts with the letters that spell NOSTRil.

some people eat that shit up with a spoon. Kinda like bernie supporters. I think they're similar in age, as well.
