She's too boring. The Jeb Bush of Democrats. Nobody has a bad thing to say about her and she'd be a great president, but not going to inspire the masses.
Agree on all counts and I would think that is what he will be working out over the next 6-8 months before he throws his hat in the rink. But no doubt he has that Obama/Trump rock star quality that draws crowds. If we've learned anything over the last decade it's that the candidates that draw the crowds usually do well.
What is the secret service protocol there? Like if Trump wants to fight do they allow him to fight? I'm genuinely curious. These are things I used to not think about.
While I agree with your point to an extent, comparing this to the 1920's is apples to oranges. There weren't hoards of hipsters walking around minority neighborhoods in the 1920's trying to get out the vote. There wasn't facebook in 1920, I don't even think there was internet back then but I'll need to double check. There were poll taxes in 1920. There were lynchings and hangings and KKK and burning crosses and literacy tests in 1920.
And if you think a group of recently re-enfranchished people are going to vote at 10% levels, I'll have what you're smoking.
You probably don't crave a turkey sandwich every day, but if somebody forbid you from eating a turkey sandwich for 20 years, your ass would be neck deep in turkey sandwiches when that prohibition was lifted.
Glad we can add 1.5 Million ex-felon majority african american voters to the rolls for 2020. I wonder how that would have effected this election? What was the margin? 50,000 votes?
No it wouldn't. It would lead to handful of fucking idiot Bundy copycats that would try who would promptly be arrested and jailed for breaking the laws of our land.
Conversely we just have to live with resentment in bigger states being ruled by North Dakota and Oklahoma. In either scenario there is going to be resentment, the electoral college just ensures that resentment is going to lie the majority of the people.
