    Former Clinton adviser says that if Hillary wins in 2016, the GOP will be extinct.

    The phone rings at 3AM. It's Benghazi.

    The ads write themselves.

    I hope they run that ad, because it'll show they're just trying to scare people with a non story.

    It points to her lack of any accomplishment at all as Secy. of State, and to bad things happening on her watch.

    I think the 2016 democratic plan is marijuana. A well timed legalize vote will pump up the get out to vote campaign big time, which is almost all democratic base.

    Does Benghazi really resonate with the average joe? I know foreign policy stuff doesn't generally register a lot in elections, and by then it will be several years ago. The only people I've ever talked to who got animated in the first place over Benghazi were already not voting Democratic.

    Personally, I don't have a major beef over foreign policy. Bin Laden is dead, we're getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and a bunch of crazy shit happens around the planet that we (unsurprisingly) are unable to control. Meh. It's not like Just The Right President would stop Putin from being an asshole.

    Domestic wiretapping, now....

    Anyway, I hope we are at long last done with Bush/Clinton retreads. Isn't everybody else tired of all of them too? Seems like 20 years is enough time to prove that neither family is really all that great. A hundred years from now I hope people are scratching their heads over that weird time in American history where they kept going to these same losers over and over, and finally decided to never do that again.

    Not the GOP, but the United States of America as we know it.

    It's been that way since the country was founded, and only a revolution could change it. A tiny group of families have sired our entire collection of Presidents, and the same families have operated and exploited our government for their personal gain since 1776.

    Every four years we are presented with their selected President, and an opponent selected by them to lose the "election".

    Hillary ran the "phone rings at 3AM commercial" against Obama last time. Why would she do that if all their polling said they shouldn't?

    :crazy:

    Besides, it's all she really has to run on.

    Long time Libertarian Party position.

    Glad to see the other parties coming around to our point of view.

    You honestly think Obama, Truman and Lincoln were from an inner circle of blue bloods setting out to run the country? Or even Nixon or Jimmy Carter? This is IMO one of the most ridiculous claims I've ever read on the topic of American politics

    As far as the GOP goes, I'd say having Donald Trump or Sarah Palin on a ballot is a good reason for the party to crumble into dust. They won't though, they've got way too many connections to go away quietly.

    Ironically, when Bill Clinton won, the Democratic Party was about to become extinct. They had won just one presidential election since 1968, had lost the senate for the first time in half a century, and were about to lose the house and senate over HillaryCare.

    As it is, the Democratic Party as we knew it is extinct. In its place is a bunch of extreme left wingers. Extremely expensive to pay the bills they create for us. Extremely expensive on the cost to individual liberty. Extremely expensive to our future generations who'll be paying off their debt.

    The republican party as we knew it is extinct, too. But as with Clinton, it's got all the parts to make an electoral victory machine - just waiting for the right candidate to come along.

    Hilary got her ass kicked by Obama, so emulating her campaign seems idiotic at best.

    That video really wound up sealing the deal on her winning the presidency, didn't it?

    Kinda backpedaling from "nobody cares" to "didn't work well enough."

    But ok.

    I say she had plenty of money and the best pollsters that money could hire and they told her that people cared about foreign policy enough they should run that ad.

    Again, what does she have to run on?

    What accomplishments? I don't think she can name any herself.

    For grins.

    Ok, here's a question for everyone jump starting the election spin 2 years early. Who would you be happy with leading the country as our next president? Think outside the box, the brightest, most qualified leader available. Don't like the former candidates? Whose the answer? Rather than bash folks who've run and lost, what are the alternatives? I'll start with someone I respect that has no political ambitions. Warren Buffet. Yeah, he's rich but he's sensible.
