She'll be lucky to have it any way.

Nah, I'd say that it'll be a Dem President but the Republicans will keep hold of at least one side of the Capitol.

I think the magazines and cartoons are on to something but its not what you think. Take a close look into the lives of the men pictured. Granted they're all politicians, but these fellas didn't get to where they are in life because of Neanderthal behavior.

IMO the reason you percieve them to be something less, is because you may be in the minority group of those having a lick of sense. Personaly I don't think politicians have changed all that much. Look into what has been said in any previous election of yesteryear. You'll see they same kind of mindless rhetoric and drama.

These highly intelligent go getters are speaking to the majority. The uneductaed voters who spend their days watching reality TV, playing video games and who also happen to be dumber than a box of rocks.

Face it, if these guys let loose the level of conversation would be so far above the head of the average voter they would soon be tuned out. If you ask me they are simply pandering to the local idiots thats also happen to be the majority of voters.

It's a fair point and I recall, a while ago, someone on some show, probably the type of topical news program that appears in the evening on BBC2, who said that while we always criticise politicians for spinning the truth and lying, and newspapers and media for 'dumbing down', both of these entities are only wanting to tell us what they perceive us wanting to hear from them. So who is to blame?

Rockstar · 01-30-16, 05:14 PM

The way I see it, I dont think you can blame any one group or person its's just the way it is. Political rhetoric and magazine covers are designed to feed the emotion more so than the brain. Its easier to divide and conquer I suppose. And voters eat it up.

Man, Hillary is not taking the upcoming email indictment well.

Quote:

Lash out as she might, Clinton’s constantly changing email story is rapidly falling apart. First, Clinton claimed there was “no classified material” on her private server — which turned out to be untrue. Then she claimed none of the intelligence on her server was “classified at the time” — which also turned out to be untrue. Now, in a National Public Radio interview last week, Clinton said there was no information that was “marked classified.”

Boys, this is the Washington Post saying this. Bloomberg, get your track shoes on.

I would be surprised if she gets pulled from the election because of this, but it's certainly going to keep coming back, and if she makes president it's going to be her 'Birth Certificate' issue.

A simple question, perhaps not so simple after all.

What kind of domestic politics could the American expect if one of the Dem. candidates or the Rep. candidates wins Presidential election?

What kind of foreign policy, can we expect if one of the Dem. candidates or one of the Rep candidates win?
