I wonder if he would even consider it.  Quite a circus with the SS detail around all the time, etc. 

Conservatives just want the rule of law to apply, like the Constitution, and have limited government and reasonable, common sense taxation levels.  Liberal/Progressives want to screw with society (social engineering) to fulfill their utopian (aka unrealistic) ideals using other peoples money.  Big difference.   

The problem today is we see no inclination by either side to try and live within our means. 

Nothing in the Constitution says being a Senator or Representative is a full time job.  I'm pretty sure that early on it was not viewed as full time.  We'd be much better served if they were only in town long enough to address the budget and a few pressing things and not just hanging around to figure out what stupid piece of legislation that can put forth.

One of the biggest problems is the size of Congressional staffs now.

The latest says Hillary had emails referring to Human Intelligence assets on her server, very highly classified stuff.  I hope the Russians or Chinese enjoyed reading that stuff.  Why the hell has she not been indicted?

They're waiting for the optimum moment for Joe Biden to come in to save the day.

Actually, I'm not sure that far from the truth Jeff.  Imagine getting the nomination without having to spend any money on primaries.

Kristin wants a moderate.  Apparently she is very happy with continuing to expand the debt load we bear.  Perhaps she can name all the candidates vowing to get the balance into a surplus so we can start paying the debt down, let alone just get us to break even.  I won't hold my breath.

The republicans put up a moderate in 2012 and he should have mopped the floor with Obama, but many Republicans stayed home.

BTW I love the term single payer, like the money just appears and is not taken from each and every one of us.   

Wonder why the ratings for the Oscars show keeps going down every year.

All my friends and nearly everyone I know is either a Democrat, a straight up progressive, or apolitical. I can tell you that the buzz on the left is, they are not happy with Hillary. Most are pissed that she is "the presumptive" nominee. People are saying that if Hillary ends up on the ticket, they are going to write in Sanders. They are not happy on the left.

The Democratic party is a machine, just like the GOP. It serves itself more than the people. Hillary was chosen over a decade ago and they are going to stick with her come hell or high water. She will not be prosecuted for anything and she will not exit the race.

In the end, when it ends up Hillary vs. ? the rank and file and many of the progressives will fall in line, bite their tongues, hold their noses and pull the lever for Hillary. However, if Sanders were press on and run as an independent, he could pull a Ross Perot and torpedo the Democrats. I doubt he will, but one can hope.

You don't believe at this point that she should be charged and tried?
