While the Democrats seat on their arses waiting for their first debate (still a few weeks away), on the Republican side THE POLLS now have Carly 'moar tanks' Fiorina in second place, behind The Donald. Meanwhile Harold Carson (http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2015/09/20/ben_carson_muslim_unfit_to_be_president_because_is lam_is_inconsistent_with.html) is third despite looking like a lobotomy victim with Marco Rrrrrubio beating Jeb (!) for fourth. Biggest lol is courtesy of Scott Walker, who has completely fallen from grace and now polls at less than 1%.

Who are everyone's dream matchups? Mine would be Bernie vs. Rand Paul, but there is absolutely no way that happens. I think 'Carly' would rip 'Hillary' a new arsehole, while even a stale slice of bread could beat Carson. Trump would provide the lulz, but I'm not sure he is a sustainable candidate on a long race, the novelty will wear off and once that is gone you are left with a combover and fuck else.

ItalAussie

Trump really is a non-factor, aside from giving the rest of the field a common enemy. His problem is that he's unlikely to win a single new voter who hasn't already gotten behind him. As the support starts to solidify behind one or two of the other candidates, he's going to have to up his level of bombast, and that's going to self-destruct. He's already getting the reputation of someone who is all bluster but unwilling to state any particular plans.

That said, still over a year to go. But it's hard to see him lasting the distance.

Pepe

Chris Christie seems the most personable (along with 'Jeb'), by which I mean I'm sure they're mostly nice people but he would be the least likely to shut the pub down talking about Jesus, but then he's also a big fat loudmouth and that probably wore a bit thin once everybody had marveled at him telling teachers to shut up.

Overall, a much more 'in depth' debate than the circus the Republican debates are. Anderson Cooper as moderator was miles above the shit that turned up for the Republicans. I think O'Malley did well in that he managed to distance himself from the two bottomfeeders and look like an actual third option. Maybe. Hilary was your typical well spoken politibot with nothing of substance to say while Bernie stuck to his shtick, perhaps a little to much.

In the end, it can all be summarized by the typical left speech: We will take money from the rich and give you more health, social service, and education with it.

mikem

Pepe nailed it. At least Chaffee managed the single worst political debate answer ever with "My dad died and I was new so I voted wrong on Glass Stegal." I'd love to see Lessig get invited just to make them all uncomfortable by talking about reversing gerrymandering so the parties had to compete in more than 5 districts a year, campaign vouchers, and limits to campaign contributions, but they are not that stupid.

mikem
14-10-2015, 09:07 PM
"In-depth" is relative in American politics. It is too risky and our politicians have not engaged in it since Nixon lost to Kennedy because he did not look good on television. Sander's "free public university for everyone" is essentially as unrealistic and stupid as Trump's "build a wall with Mexico and have them pay for it." Do politicians anywhere talk any other way? All you can get out of it is a sense of if they are credible or not and their vague approaches to governance.

She absolutely sailed through it. Vox reckoned it was the best day any political candidate has had since Obama caught McCain floundering on housing prices.

Tangentially, I wonder how much influence it has on campaigns that the parties lack any influential central organizational structure. Like, Clinton was able to go toe-to-toe with a bunch of nobody backbenchers who clearly didn't remotely have the brains, experience or political capital necessary to take her on. I don't think the parties in Australia or the UK would let that happen - they'd make sure that there was some political heft on any panel that they'd regard as this important.

The GOP is falling apart. This committee was just the most recent embarrassment. Whichever Democrat that's ultimately elected will walk it pretty easily, I'd say, Hillary perhaps more so.

Don't they control both Houses (one of them by a fair way)? It's more bollocks candidates and demographics shifts than the party targeting the wrong people.

They do, but they seemingly can't do shit once they actually get to Congress. Which is why you'd hope that Democrats will take back at least one house of Congress in the next elections. Democrats always do better on Presidential-year elections because the voter turnout is higher.

While it's true, there's a fairly strong mitigating issue.

While both sides of politics have gotten themselves knee-deep in gerrymandering, the GOP were far better at it, in basically every state that they've gotten control of. They've basically locked it down.

At any rate, the real power is arguably at state legislatures, which the Republicans are still good at winning.

Not directly related to the election, but speaks to a lot about the economic lunacy of the Republican party, uniformly reflected by their candidates for President.

Bernanke quits GOP (http://www.usnews.com/opinion/economic-intelligence/2015/10/09/ben-bernanke-has-had-it-with-stupid-gop-economics)


They saw inflation where it did not exist and, when the official data did not bear out their predictions, invoked conspiracy theories. They denied that monetary or fiscal policy could support job growth, while still working to direct federal spending to their own districts. They advocated discredited monetary systems, like the gold standard.

No, Ryan skated through that unscathed in terms of his reputation as a policy wonk. Mainly because he is prepared to discuss policy at all. Not because he has any ideas. He really is just a Ted Cruz or George Wallace style opportunist dressed up a bit better.

Ital is essentially right. Gerrmandering has left both parties incredibly weak. I disagree that Republicans are better; they have just taken advantage of demographic shifts. Instead of people competing for sensible policies to win the center you get whoever parrots the inane talking points of their side the loudest. The choruses of Biden as a savior and not a gaffe prone fool is evidence of that. Or just ask yourself, what other serious Democrats are out there? Warren? Another Cuomo? A decade ago you would have gotten Moynihan, Bradley, Kerry, Clark, Richardson, Albright, or Napolitano.

Where are the Latino candidates from California or New Mexico? Where are the new generation of Southern Democrats like Clinton, Edwards, Gore, et al? Or even the new crop of people from New England? I don't disagree with your premise, but I'm a big Democrat and I really don't even know that generation's names. I know those candidates must exist, but to be serious they need to have broken nationally. Outside of Warren and Booker nobody knows who they are.

Ben Carson goes on television to defend himself from allegations that he didn't attack people in the past. He insists he stabbed a relative and attacked his mother with a hammer. The liberal media is trying to smear him by painting him as a pillar-of-the-community type who never hurt anyone.

“Well, it’s easy to answer,” Carson quickly replied. “I didn’t have an involvement with them. That is total propaganda and this is what happens in our society. Total propaganda.” He then backtracked a little. “I did a couple of speeches for them. I did speeches for other people, they were paid speeches,” he told the crowd before switching back to a full denial. “It is absolutely absurd to say that I had any kind of relationship with them.” Then he again acknowledged a role. “Do I take the product? Yes, I think it’s a good product.”

You have to wonder who he's saying that to/for, if I was an American voter there's only two things I could really infer from that. Either he's stupid enough to think that would work so I don't want him running my country or he thinks I'm stupid enough to think it would work and I'm hardly going to vote for him after that.

“I’ve been telling everybody for a long time China’s taking our jobs. They’re taking our money. Be careful: They’ll bring us down. You have to know what you’re doing. We have nobody that has a clue.”


“Negotiating with Japan, negotiating with China,” Donald began, “When these people walk in the room, they don’t say, ‘Oh, hello! How’s the weather? It’s so beautiful outside. Isn’t it lovely? How are the Yankees doing? Oh they’re doing wonderful. Great.” He continued on to remark “They say, ‘We want deal!'”

I read an interesting thing in the New York Times about how there's basically a missing generation of good Democratic candidates. The oldest Republican candidate is Trump, far younger than Hillary or Bernie, and beyond that the actual Republicans (Rubio, Cruz, Bush) are all pretty young comparatively. We've only really got Martin O'Malley that's in his 40s or 55s. All Reagan's fault, you see.

Has Cuomo dropped off the radar? I reckon he's priming his run for after Hilary's won two terms.

EDIT: He's 57. In eight years that puts him at 65, which is probably a touch older than he'd want to be. Maybe he's just not interested. Doesn't really matter though - candidates don't need to really hit the headlines hard until a couple of years before they run. Nobody had heard of Obama four years before his election.

Actually, O'Malley might be better than 'Hillary' but no one takes him seriously. A shame as I think he is actually a solid option.

Imagine a world in which every word had to have some sort of quotation around it. "You'd 'get' sentences "like 'this' " ". 'Hillary' would love it because it has no substance, and 'Marco' probably would too, but 'O'Malley' ' - the dark horse he is - would see right through it

'Hillary' and 'Bernie' (and 'Jeb') get the 'treatment' because referring to these people as if they're your mates or a stand-alone brand is lol. Nobody refers to Marco Rubio as 'Marco', or Martin O'Malley as 'Martin', and if they did they would be lolled at too.

See also: 'Pep', 'Brendan', and all of those shit initialisms like 'LvG' and 'AVB'. Balls nicknames like 'The Special One' and 'The Little Genius' are also fair game provided people use them seriously, as are things like Jurgen 'Jurgen Klopp' Klopp (and Phil 'Phil Brown' Brown) that capture the self-importance of that particular person.

We're all friends here. But yes. If other forums were referring to me as 'Lewis', rather than 'Lewis off of TTH'.

Saying Sanders is too formal and academic, saying Bernie is too basic, and so because you don't have the balls to stick with one or the other, you invent this midway point that makes you look a little quirky, a little anti-establishment, and a little retarded

Pushing strongly for campaign finance reform means Sanders is getting little to no coverage in the press. Even so he's ahead or very close in most of the early states, so he's hopefully still got a chance. The DNC is trying everything to try and make sure Hilary sees it through; that was the second time they'd slapped a debate out on a fucking Saturday night, and there's no way they'd have suspended Hilary's campaign from accessing data following a similar breach.

I use full names and then surnames if I'm not using my amazing system ('formal and academic' meaning 'correct'), so do one 'Mokkers'.

I'd probably still fuck "Hillary" to see what it was like. She's bound to be a dirty bitch.

Where's the shameful lustage thread gone?

Muslim lady ejected from Trump rally for not much really.

She says that she was treated nice by everybody until she was escorted out, at which point, everybody turned on her and started shouting at her.

She was heckling and abusing the people near her. Pretty standard, typical mainstream media misinformation.

Do you have link to these reports of her heckling others?

The 'Aerospace Workers Union' would probably cease to exist if 'Bernie' did anything about subsidies and wasteful defence spending, so lol at them. But still lol at the comparison. Why would the University of California donate half a million? Why are they donating anything? What do they stand to gain from it, and how do they reconcile it to supposed purpose?
