You forgot to mention the dog catcher in Racine, WI who just declared. I will save all the trouble of watching. First half will be about who hates Trump the most. Second half will be about who wants to give away the most freebies. The President is a fink. |

If hating Trump were the key qualifier, Melania would be a shoo-in for the nomination. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

She'll announce when the field has been whittled down to just a dozen or so Bozo's. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Oy vey. Just admit you were wrong about her running again and move on with life. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I plan to record and watch them. I'll be impressed with anyone who uses his/her time to explain why voters should vote for him/her in the primary as opposed to Trump bashing, which is the easy card to play. Personally, I lean towards Bernie, but am open minded. I'll pretty much reject anyone who supports slavery reparations. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

I thought that was just one of those things that people have been talking about for half a century. You seem to think that actually has a chance of passing. I thought that was settled with affirmative action. Affirmative action is a policy used by colleges and universities to improve the educational opportunities for minority groups (including minority races, genders, and sexual orientations) that are commonly and historically discriminated against. |

I reject anyone pushing 80. We don't want our doctor, lawyer, banker, CEO, pushing 80, but we want that for the hardest job in the world? i don't get it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Limbaugh had a good point today. At most the average candidate has 7-8 minutes for the whole debate to make their case. So do not expect to see many taking the high road. I bet not 1 person in 50 could name everyone in the race at this point. Slavery reparations might be the price of admission to the inner circle this season. Along with free college and forgiving student loans. Free abortions a given. Who knows what else. The President is a fink. |
