Because an old white man is exactly what the world needs right now

Policies, not gender.

 

Who is better than Corbyn or Bernie? Who is more socialist?

 

Exactly.

I certainly don't recall this much excitement when Cynthia McKinney ran.

Exactly.

Regrettably there's a character limit to posts so I cant post the sheer number of people who are better than more old white men

Bernie won't get the nomination. It's too soon for this excitement, and I really hope his supporters don't spend the next few years being toxic towards potential candidates. We need to be realistic here - there are other politicians on the left with progressive leanings who wouldn't be almost 88 at the end of their second term.

 

I really think they're going to go for less of a name this time, another Obama. I'm ready for a Kamala Harris push.

Agree, if they all start bitching and slagging off all non-Bernie's then it's handing it over to Trump yet again. He can remain influential without driving himself into an earlier grave. Very old men are likely to die in office and give the VP a leg-up, whoever that may be. Being President ages you badly, take a look at Bush and Obama photos before and after their terms. Trump only gets away with it as he's on the golf course and tweeting more than working.

Bernie works harder than Trump in the Senate!

 

He can do this.

I work harder than trump in the senate and I’ve never been to f***ing Washington DC.

 

It’s not an achievement. It’s a basic standard. It’s like an MEP saying they attend more and do more work than Farage. Naw shite sherlock

Trump only gets away with it as he's on the golf course and tweeting more than working.

 

I think that's a little unfair. After all, how do any of us know how much or how many hours he's working? He's never off-duty either, in case of an emergency and it's not a 9 to 5 job.

I think he has a good chance, if he can target those areas that voted for Trump thinking their old former industrial towns would be redeveloped. That's probably why most Trump voters voted for him despite not liking him, for the redevelopment promises he was making.

I’m down for this

What would you know about work?

it's a matter of record how many times he goes to mar a lago, and it's easy to see when he's not working cos he's tweeting after watching Fox News & Breitbart. He's had several emergencies and carried on golfing. puerto rico still doesn't have power and he's done f*** all about it for months now.

 

Laziest President Ever. Stupidest President Ever. Most Corrupt President Ever: just quoted as saying he wouldn't mind if the Russians did get him elected (more or less), and he makes millions out of the taxpayer and has lied about everything.

Perhaps he's frustrated that he can't get most of his measures through because of opposition and has lost his motivation to work harder? :unsure:

He has no excuse - the Republicans control both houses and the only places he has hit blocks is where he has tried to do something unconstitutional and the courts have ruled against him. The Republicans have been blocking for almost a decade, and it's a way of life because they want to destroy government - thats why key posts remain vacant. There is no one to blame other than his own party.

 

PS he's a spoilt rich thick boy draft dodger who is terrible at business. His fortune inherited would be worth way more if he'd just invested it and done nothing for the rest of his life. He's managed to "downsize", multiple bankruptcies, and hundreds of millions in debt to banks. I'm sure he'll do for the American economy what's he's done for his own wealth....

That talking point has been debunked many times, as early as 2015.

Just reading that in a new survey, 71% of Rebublican voters think Trump is a good role model for children.

That sounds very low. Surely a president should expect almost all his supporters to think he is a good role model for children. However, unless this question has been asked before with other presidents, it's hard to tell whether this figure is high, low or average.

But as a purveyor of lies shouldnt he hoist on his own petard? I mean Obama is American but he still lies about that constantly, and everything he did and achieved. Crooked Hillary (no charges). Crap at business is fairly mild in comparison for a fake news story....

 

I take the point though.

 

Just the multiple bankruptcies, hundreds of law suits, and German bankers appointed to senior roles from the bank that he owes 500m dollars to then. Among many others....
