Title: Lindsey Graham Will Keep the World from Falling Apart
Post by: SGOS on May 18, 2015, 09:13:29 PM
Lindsey Graham says, “I am running because I think the world is falling apart."

I think it's a good thing that Lindsey Graham is running, because I think if the world falls apart it would not be a good thing, so I think you should vote for Lindsey Graham because he doesn't want the world to fall apart.  I don't want the world to fall apart either.  That could be a bad thing, so we need a president who will prevent the world from falling apart.

Wait, Lindsey has super powers to prevent the world from FALLING APART? Where the hell is it falling to anyway?

I was going to vote for Pat Paulson, until Bernie announced his run. Now I think maybe I'll volunteer for his campaign.

I think Lindsey's just in it for the comedy. Stephanie Miller has to have someone to laugh at besides all the other Repugs who are throwing themselves on the mercy of the Koch brothers.

The Republicans are deluded to think that only THEY can make the world better, when their ignorant right-wing ideology is pretty much the cause of the world's problems.

I feel like I should put up that 'we've got to have.. money!' clip, but I used that already.

I can't help but notice that Chris Christie and Jeb Bush are still hanging back from declaring -- in relative terms, these two are the only grownups the GOP has to offer, and they still haven't officially jumped in.  I think they've learned the lesson that the Mittster didn't: the polling agencies really do know what they're doing.

Interesting bit of history here: for the last forty years, Republicans almost always turn to the candidate who placed second last time there was a competitive primary, thusly:













YearNomineeSecond place
1976Gerald FordRonald Reagan
1980Ronald ReaganGeorge H.W. Bush
1984Reagan (incumbent)n/a
1988George H.W. BushBob Dole
1992Bush (incumbent)n/a
1996Bob DolePat Buchanan*
2000George W. Bush*John McCain
2004Bush (incumbent)n/a
2008John McCainMitt Romney
2012Mitt RomneyRick Santorum
* - Pat Buchanan ran on the Reform Party ticket in 2000 and did not pursue the Republican nomination again.

Unless Santorum can light up the activists early, he's going to be the first candidate in 40 years to break the pattern.  Seems a shame -- as a Democrat, I'd love to have him be their nominee.  Alas, unless you're Richard Nixon in '72, you don't get to pick your opponent.

Meanwhile, if (or, as seems likely, when) Hillary gets the nomination on the Democratic side, she'll be the first runner-up to be nominated at the next opportunity since 1928 when 1924 runner-up Al Smith got the nod.

I know this is going to sound bad, but what is wrong with this guy's face? Look at his eyes and mouth. If they put him in the 'guess the gender from the eyes' test his pic could be a real trick. It looks like something wrong, probably nothing though. He shouldn't smile to the camera.

These things are unfortunately very important if you are running for president. And no way, he can pass that needed criteria. Thinking about his politics, may be that's a good thing.

Christie chopped his own balls off with Bridgegate and by embracing Obama after the hurricane and Jeb did the same by backing his brothers stupidity that even every republican ran away from. They know the Bush name is toxic. Santorum never had a chance so it appears to be up to the dipshit from Wisconsin or good old boy Lindsey and the closet brigade..
WWJHD..(What would Jeb have done)

Personally, I live for The Donald jumping in and wasting his money.  I don't think he's thrown his mouth behind anyone yet.

The guys who are young enough to look forward to 2020 and 2024 have either got to be looking at the poll numbers and going "Yeah, I'm gonna have to wait and just make life as difficult as I can for her" or just deluding themselves.  Only one poll has shown any candidate with any lead on Hillary, and that's a recent Faux News poll that managed to scrape out a 1% margin for the Jebster -- well inside the margin of error.  Her lead over everyone else (and over Jeb in real polls) is outside that margin.  If the Repubs had anything to destroy her with, we'd've heard about it by now -- it would have surface in one of her Senate races, or in the 2008 run, or in her confirmation hearings to be Secretary of State.

I'll make the popcorn.  This'll be fun to watch.

Before Lindsey gets in the white house he needs to answer for the turtle orgies going on in Sumpter SC's Swan Lake Park in broad daylight..
