2016 election is turning into a bizarre collection of bullsh*t!
I recently did a post on Al Gore……you remember him? The ex-VP and the alleged inventor of the internet (no really)…….the post was that there was a rumor that Gore would throw his hat into the election fray.
Really? He could not win before….why would anybody think he could now?
I said it sounded like a made up story by the media to drive the conversation for 2016…..and it got some legs for a little while…….and now we have another thing that sounds like a made up story…..this one is about Biden.
Newser) – Speculation about Joe Biden entering the 2016 race has been heating up of late, and Politico adds a new wrinkle: The 72-year-old is reportedly considering a run as a one-term president. “One thing that I keep hearing about Biden is that if he were to declare and say, because age is such a problem for him if he does, I want to be a one-term president. I want to serve for four years, unite Washington,” journalist Carl Bernstein told CNN. “It could light fire to the current political environment.” Biden is on vacation in South Carolina this week, and the Wall Street Journal reports that he’s using the time to sound out supporters.
To me another crap story. I realize that Biden may be thinking about throwing his hat in…..but ….really?
The MSM will go to any length to drive the conversation…….
Do I need to say more?
Personally I think it’d be a waste of time for Biden – at least if he expects to win. The majority of voters don’t approve of the Obama Administration’s performance and Biden is a part of that administration. Whether Obama is being unfairly judged is irrelevant. It’s the way people feel, right or wrong. Plus, Biden is about as exciting as a turnip. He can’t win.
If Al Gore decides to challenge Clinton – which I seriously doubt – then he’s also wasting his time. Because unlike Hillary, who is yesterday’s news, Al Gore is last century’s news. Nobody cares about him anymore.
I think Sanders is going to win the nomination because he’s relatively new to a lot of voters and knows how to rile up a crowd. He doesn’t have the swagger like the 2007 Obama but he says things that Democrats want to hear.
And while early polls are bad indicators, right now the 2016 election is Donald Trump vs. Bernie Sanders.
Who’da thunk it?
Yep…too early for any predictions…..but the way it looks now it will be populist vs populist….an interesting wrinkle……I like Bernie but I think Clinton has it because money will be behind her…..the people could change this …that is if they are willing and right now they do not seem to be….
The Biden rumor has been around for months. MSM is hitting tinder on an already burning fire. I’m afraid for the election. Once again my vote will be against, not for. Ugh.
I seldom vote for a mainstream candidate…..most of them are nothing but political prostitutes…..I would rather vote for a 3rd party than anything I have seen in recent years….
The last 2 I wrote in me…the one before, I voted libetarian. Votes against the fodder they try to feed us. Omgosh, I was listening to some radio show and a lady called in to say how BO is a wonderful potus…one of her reasons was that he dressed nice, the other two, she had to ask her grandad. Her grandad was 93, so I’m guessing she had to be around 40. Shaking my fn head.
I am a foreign policy geek so I think Obama sucks the big one…..and Clinton will do worse and any GOPer will put us into yet another war…..I am looking at 3 rd party again….
Oh yes, he does suck the big one. MSM is revelling with the Cuba deal, and PO and his backdoor dealings need to go. It seems they forget who hired them once they get in. Even if we vote .third party, one of the morons will be hired…I hope it is one of the “smarter” ones.
I have found that many 3rd party candidates are smarter….at least on the stump…..sorry but Cuban cigars are truly wonderful…..a guilty pleasure….Haha
Haha…well, that is a positive. The 3rd party candidates seem smarter, but they don’t have backing of MSM (which is good and bad). What a conundrum.
