The Clinton / Bush race won't happen, thank God.
Modern campaigns last longer than modern Christmas shopping seasons. Sells stories for the press.
Most republican frontrunners are somewhat young but unproven. Any Bush will be unelectable for the next generation or more.
Get the popcorn and see who self destructs.
The democrat frontrunners are dinosaurs.
Hillary is America's ex-wife. She is old and unhealthy. She has too much Clinton baggage. Not gonna happen.
Sanders, who has more personal integrity than the other dem contenders, but would be the oldest president in history and the first avowed socialist. Not gonna happen.
Biden, even with the clown nose off, is still old and a sideshow. Not gonna happen.
Warren is old and given to fudging her personal history. I think she's losing interest. Not gonna happen.
The dems need someone younger and refreshing coming out of left field (heh), much like Obama did in 2007. The problem is they can't point fingers at Bush anymore and must run on their record of a slow recovery and an administration who's lack of transparency and snooping make Nixon look like a talk show host.
O'malley is looking like he will try a run, but does he have baggage?
Jim Webb has character, a compelling personal story and is a centrist.
Others may emerge, still a lot of time.

And actually there were 10s of millions of more votes for Dems.
Don't lie.
It's so unattractive.

This will be the last time I respond to the Troll EdwardT
after he accused me of LYING
Can't you please ask me to verify my claims rather than slander me with defamation accusations?
Talk about ugly?
all I had to was Google the exact words "Dems got 10s of millions of more votes than Repubs in 2014"
Please respect my decision by not responding to my posts anymore.
WTF: Senate Democrats Received 20 Million More Votes Than Republicans In Midterms

Why can't we get more people like him on the short list?
IMO, because the modern process of elections is about popularity and the cool factor, not character and leadership.
Maybe we need IQ tests for the right to vote.
Maybe we need to bump the voting age up to 26 when people get off their parents health plans, see reality, and start paying their own way.
Somewhat tongue in cheek, but still just sayin.

LMAO, I agree. Biden is nothing if not entertaining.
That's one of the reasons I miss Bubba Clinton

Winners are determined by which candidate gets the most corporate and PAC money.
Its a schizophrenic beauty contest.
LOL, or as some comedian once said: Washington is Hollywood for ugly people".
Once in awhile the guy with the money will lose, like Cantor did in Virginia. But money will always be the mother's milk.

Craig - You should work on your reading comprehension. The story you posted is about votes cast for the current Senate. It combines the votes cast in 2010, 2012 and 2014.
Regarding the 2014 Senate elections, Republican candidates received 3 million more votes Democratic candidates.

What I'd like to know is what's the basis for all your hostility against conservatives? It's not that you simply disagree. You seem to have a deep seated hatred for those who challenge your political views. You don't seem to handle well.

I could see President Biden at a world crises summit coping a feel on Angela Merkel.

Yes pyro, republicans tend to win rural districts where no one lives, and Dems tend to win more urban areas that are population centers.
So ?

Well we have a Red Country.
Owned by the Big Buck Master Authoritarians, a public duped by their misinformation.
How can you run a Country when your only interest is Being against everything the Right Wing Media goes hysterical about..
What about doing something for the Country Positive, when will the Repubs care about that?
You voted for it, you own it.
What have they done?
Do you know what Red signifies?
Authoritarian Rule, just like Red China and Russia.
Or the decline of Democracy
Wow, you guys must be proud of your Redness
I'm sorry to let you down, but Blue is Not the same as Red.
They are diametrically opposed on almost every issue, only the Propaganda is the same.

Twelve months with job growth over two hundred thousand, and a declining discouraged job force.
But, Obama is killing this country! We are headed toward third world status!

It tells me that people are signing up for the ACA, and that it's working appropriately.

It's cute when Ron makes up facts about job growth. I'm sure he has an anecdote or two that proves everything. Lol.
