2016 Election - Page 7

Do you ever wonder if they just had an open marriage but when they got caught they figured good ol' conservative america would be even less accepting towards that?

That we missed the part of them laughing and teasing each other with stories about Monica on his end and stories about the pool boy on hers?

Hillary is 100% political, zero warmth, zero personality, every word carefully chosen, lies like a fuckin' rug and smiles while doing it, no conviction too deeply held to sell out for the right price, I would vote for her if I were a voting person.

Trump is the anti-Hillary, not via warmth but via strength of personality and anti-political shoot from the hip quality. That's actually what we want right now, a giant blowhard douche. That's why no gaffe can fell him. After 7 years of intellectual, quiet, considered Presidency, we are ready for a cycle of the polar opposite. We had Mom for a while, and that was OK, but now we want Dad, even if he's... Dad.

The fantasy is that he would cut the Gordian knot of a lot of problems. It would appear there is nobody in the world willing to call Putin a dick. It would be at least tremendously entertaining to see Trump take on a Kim Jong Un.

We'd all die laughing I suppose...

If he wins, I wonder if others might follow. It could actually create an interesting precedent - instead of just lobbying other politicians, rich people lobbying for themselves.

And it doesn't have to just be conservatives - There are plenty of impressive and highly popular capitalist tycoons on the progressive side as well. Who's to say someone like Elon Musk* or Larry Page couldn't run? Or perhaps the next Steve Jobs?

*. After the republicans appealed the birth certificate requirements before the 2024 elections when Schwarzenegger was head of the GOP, obviously.

The only thing cooler than X, is having X and walking away from it.

I believe Trump doesn't want the presidency. He wants to prove he could have it if he wanted, then go back to fucking around all day with his billions. Hillary, on the other hand, wants it too badly. She's the desperate ugly sorority girl who doesn't understand that she should have just stuck with the other nerds who quietly get all the important shit done in the background.

I'll tell you what I'm really hoping, even fantasizing about with the same part of my brain that other people use for porn:

Jon Stewart 2016.

But like porn, we all know life never really happens that way.

Not for 2016, no... But I wouldn't be shocked if he does go into politics a few years down the line. He has talked a lot about the impotence he feels about his position as a commentator and not been able to do anything. Even then, I doubt it would ever be the presidency. Frankly I don't think America would vote for an agnostic Jewish guy as a president (And I am saying that as an agnostic Jewish guy), but they already have when it comes to senators and congressmen. Ofcourse, he'll then become Secretary of State, where he'll gets exposed to even more information and feels even more powerless to stop it, and.. That is the story of how he dies. The End.

So looking over the polls, I am rethinking this position:

Would Americans actually vote for Bernie Sanders in the general elections?

Well, I was pretty sure it was rigged until you just posted, since your the first person to not get Sanders...

Now, here's my opinion on the presidency:

We need a kind of co-presidency, a politician to handle the executive and legislative side of things, and an expert economist to figure out how to completely eliminate the national debt, end our dependence on foreign oil, and increase the value of paper money by associating it with the value of gold and silver.

What that site shows is that Democrats would win on policy, if people voted on policy.

I saw that same "voters are secretly stupid" theory advanced in the Libertarian Party many times.
