right.

but even with all those differences, are they actively going to cast votes for candidates with roadkill squirrels on their heads ranting about rapists and losers - and that's when they're describing their friends?

seems like those 'disagreers' are more likely simply not to vote rather than vote for the Candidates About Nothing
Yes, but in a double utley you can put your utley on top they other guy's utley, and you're the winner. (Swish)

I don't think everyone will. But some might choose to start voting based on economic policies rather than social ones, as you said. Perhaps more importantly future generations that may have taken up the Social Liberalism flag in past years might be more inclined to go conservative, since the liberal issues that would have been important to them are more settled.

We concur on ending corporate welfare. But that too is a bipartisan effort.

The investigation is being overseen by two veteran prosecutors in the Justice Department’s National Security Division. One of them helped manage the prosecution of David H. Petraeus, the retired general and former CIA director who was sentenced to probation earlier this year after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified materials. He was also fined $100,000.

Regardless of whether or not this will stick, it's going to hurt her, especially if the GOP can find a reasonable candidate. I really want her out of the picture.

I wonder if the noise from Gore is because he knows she's in trouble. Or maybe the Dem leadership is looking for Gore or someone else to step forward because they know she's in trouble.

Weren't the state department email servers hacked by China recently?

And didn't the Ruskies hack the Pentagon's email system a few weeks ago?

And haven't Chinese cyber spies accessed the emails of top US National security personnel since at least April 2010?

Trump is annoying and whatnot, but he will fade sooner or later and cannot be the nominee. So I'm going to try to worry less about his existence.

Looking at these post debate polls where Trump+Carson+Cruz=a big number makes me fear I've been underselling Cruz in my assessments of the field. Talking to people who talk to people who matter within the party and there's some buzz on this being scared of him winning the nomination thing. It should be tough for Cruz to win the nomination with the party hating him, but if a decent chunk of people are seemingly voting with giving the party the finger in mind, that might be less important. Unlike Trump, once low information voters learn more about his positions, he won't get hurt. The Establishment + his unelectability makes it very unlikely he wins a 1 on 1 with anyone in the field, but if Jeb, Walker, Rubio stay in for the long haul he could be a problem.

He's so insincere seeming and repulsive. Don't get how you'd want him to be president even if you were a hardcore righty. But here we are. I really dislike Huckabee for a bunch of reasons, but get why people support him. Same with Rand. Cruz is something beyond my capacity for understanding. Just support Walker, you jackasses.

It's no dream ticket but I'd like to see the general election featuring Kasich-Rubio v Gore-Omalley.

I don't hate or fear Hillary but this email thing seems to steenk more than Christie's bridge.

Cruz is, as you say, repulsive. But Walker's a cinderblock. He knows nothing about foreign policy and he's as yucky on women, minorities, social issues as Trump, just doesn't foulmouth it in public. No cinderblocks for President.

Frankly the Republicans aren't fielding any viable candidates. Again. Kasich, maybe. Eh, no, probably not.

If you're going to do a rumor post without sources, one should at least attempt to make the supposed reasons behind the action make some sense.
