Thought experiment: Donna Trump

[riverman]

Someone should make a porn parody movie about Donna Trump, there's got to be plenty of blonde haired 40 year old porn stars that could play Donna.

Donna needs to be Trump's age of 70 and if I'm not mistaken...she'll have a Russian accent

Nina Hartley is like 60, but she already plays Hillary, so that's probably a no go.

Martha Stewart could pull it off

It looks to me like you answered your own question.

If Trump was a woman.... and a democrat.... you'd vote for her. Except in this case you're actually voting for the female version of Dick Cheney.

Zing!

 

[Denny Crane]

If Condoleeza Rice ran, she'd have won. If Colin Powell ran in 1996, Clinton would have been a 1 term president.

Maybe it actually depends on the person. Both would have won a massive majority of republican voters.

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Hmmmm, I've been more consistent than heat in Vegas on this.

Hahahaha, if there is a better example of what is wrong with politics than this and any Bush holding public office I don't know what it is.

There are two names that just need the word cuz in front of them.

Why wouldn't you vote for him/her?

Cuz Bush or cuz Clinton. Duh

I just looked up the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot. The odds are going up to 1 in 292 million give or take. The odds of being President are better if your name is Bush. The Clinton family already had their turn as well.

These jackholes are like kids that got in the tree house first and pulled up the rope ladder. They'll kick anyone who tries to climb the actual tree to get in.

I thought he was the smart Bush. He still could be, that doesn't mean much.

There are actually people who want Jeb Bush to be elected. Or Hillary Clinton.

Laughter is my only option concerning our voters.

I'd vote for a Clinton for one reason.

If Chelsea ran and said she saw all the shady shit her parents did and that she would be an honest President.

Otherwise I'd vote for the guy who helps me at Home Depot before I voted for another Bush or Clinton.

Well, half way to my "I don't care who wins as long as it isn't Bush or Clinton" wish.

Just the idea that someone could vote for either of them makes me sad.

Maybe they would have, maybe not. Maybe they would have been utterly incompetent at campaigning. Since they never tried, we don't know.

On Nov. 5, 1996, Voter News Service — the organization hired by the TV networks to do exit polling — asked people at the polls, who had just given Bill Clinton 49 percent of the vote, Bob Dole 41 percent and Ross Perot 8 percent, how they would have voted if the Republican candidate had been Gen. Colin L. Powell. In an exit poll sample of 3,697 (three times the size of a standard high-grade public opinion survey), the result was this:

Powell: 50 percent.

Clinton: 38 percent.

Perot: 9 percent.

I find that less than entirely convincing. Powell didn't do what was necessary to have his name on that ballot. If he had, the people may have had a different impression of him on election day. His opponents would have spent the previous months attacking him, and some of those attacks might have stuck. You know what they say about wrestling with a pig.

I'd rather do thought experiments about Donna Troy.

That is the exit poll. They asked the actual voters. Powell was ahead in the polls from the start of the campaign.

Unlike Obama, he chose not to run as the first black man for president.

I don't know how you attack a U.S. General and war hero. Just makes your side look even worse than it already does.

Again, it's easy (easier) to be ahead in the polls if you aren't running.

Unlike Obama, he chose not to run as the first black man for president.

Same is true for Redd Foxx. What's your point?

I'm pretty sure Trump could tell you how it's done.

Again, he was ahead in the polls the whole year.

You do realize Clinton never got 50% of the vote, right? Either election.

 

[barfo]

You've made it clear you think Powell could have been elected, had he run. I'm not sure why you even think that's interesting today, but whatever. I agree with you that polls in 1996 showed Powell to be very popular, but I disagree that that means that he automatically would have won had he run.

You do realize Clinton never got 50% of the vote, right? Either election.

Yes, I realize that. What exactly is your point, that history repeats, and Clinton will be elected with less than 50% of the vote in 2016 and 2020? In that case we agree.

He has the egotistical male brain. No woman could act like him. Either way:Same result for us

it is interesting because republicans would have elected a black man. Kind of refutes crandc's argument.

It is interesting that republicans would elect a black WOMAN, too.

I understand it's way over your head.

Then Dems would be first with "BUT HE'S AN UNCLE TOM!"

Conversely, I'm pretty sure the DNC, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, and the Hillary campaign have proven that the American people don't elect Democrats.

I thought the electoral college elected presidents, not the American people.

I thought it was the GNP that won most elections

Correct, of course. Unless no one has a majority of the electors, in which case the House of Reps. elects the president... or in case Florida is a tie, in which case the supreme court choses.

Republican presidents don't get elected without republican votes.

Odd that you're so funny when you're trying to be serious and not so much when you're trying to be funny.

Republican presidents don't get elected

They used to, before the party went nuts.
