2016 US Presidential election thread
 
As requested, here's your industrial strength thread to discuss the 2016 Presidential election and candidates.

I'm sure I will remain undediced for at least another 6 months, but one thing I can guarantee, I am not voting for anyone named Bush or Clinton. We need some new blood, or at least someone else.:smug:

As far as a poll, I'm going to suggest we wait until Jan 2016, There are still hundreds of congressmen who have not thrown their hat into the ring yet. And my press agent is on sabbatical until Dec.

For this election, I just want the ability to vote for a candidate instead of voting against the other candidate. It has been far too long since I have been able to vote for a candidate.

But if they keep offering up nutters, I will have to vote against them.

Wouldn't it be nice for a nice moderate candidate to run.

A boy can dream.

No President can take USA out if its debt-that for sure.

The question will be: Do America want a President who is more focused on his/her own country- Domestic politics or Do America want a President who is more focused on foreign affairs or a President who are focused on both ?

We can fix our financial difficulties. But since it took several generations to get into this hole, it will take several generations to get out of the hole.

There is no quick fix to our problems. What this country needs to do is commit itself to a multi-generation plan of action. But politicians have a hard time looking past the next election. For a Representative, this is about 18 months. Any plan that may garner benefits after a Representative may leave office won't be considered. A representative only want's programs that will help them get re-elected in no more than 18 months.

There are no 18 month programs that can seriously start fixing our problems.

So we could fix our financial problems... but we won't. Instead we will spend our money on short term plans that only serve political goals and not the goal of fixing the country.

Crikey I am all depressed... again.

Well considering that the Congress is the body responsible for domestic issues and the Executive branch is the foreign policy body, I want a Congress interested in running the country and an Executive interested in a workable and equitable foreign policy.

The President, as the chief Executive implements the domestic policies approved by the Congress. The President advises and ASKS congress to consider issues pertaining to domestic issues. But the President never tells the Congress.

Even members of Congress that share the same party as the President will shut that down. Congress won't give up their constitutional power to any president regardless of political power.

Your candidate is stupid. Mine is awesome. Unless your candidate is my candidate - in which case, ignore the first sentence.

There, I win the thread. :woot:

The snow will be cold and deep...
 
As we go through yet another blizzard of buffoonery.:-?

It takes a minimum of ten years to undo any piece of legislation so perhaps we could increase terms to ten years?

I know...

Go for Musssomeli.

He has a certain brutal honesty on himself that he became the most hated ambasador in Slovenia ever and I admire him for it.

I'm expecting a Clinton v Bush election, even at this early stage.

OMG, there is a circus touring the USA right now who is missing a clown.

"So, ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for president of the United States, and we are going to make our country great again," Trump told the crowd.
