Honestly, this seems like the perfect election year for a "meh" candidate like Jeb! Bush... Just like his stupid one-termer father. None of the candidates are the right combination of right and plausibly electable. It's slightly disturbing :scared:

Clinton is fine, I guess. She's the 'meh' Democrat.

This is funny..



This short mockumentary video on Jeb Bush, which aired last night on the eve of the New Hampshire primary, has just about everything you could want from the cinema of existential despair. A lonely shot of a man walking on a two-land road at night, holding a Jeb! sign? Check. Bush himself looking out at one of his own audiences, and saying, “pretty small crowd here” with all the enthusiasm of a man being led to his own execution? Check. Two local youths talking about how they’d like to kick him in the balls, and then peeling off in a pickup truck with a cheer for Donald Trump, ie the “black beast”? Check. A supporter describing him as a glass of milk? Check check check check.

Watch the pitch-perfect video above, which even includes a foreign title.

It's actually quite fascinating that the Republicans seem committed to going either fascist or theocratic. I don't think it matters because neither would be elected. Well, lets just say Cruz would never be elected, Trump....well Arnie got elected in California, anything is possible. :neutral:

Just the fallout for the party will be interesting.

Also, this is interesting, and actually pretty great:
Early in the 2016 primary season, history is already being made.
In Iowa, a woman and a Latino won presidential caucuses for the first time in U.S. history.

On Tuesday night, Bernie Sanders became the first non-Christian candidate to win a primary after taking New Hampshire. The Jewish candidate and Brooklyn native doesn’t talk much about his religious background. He doesn't participate in organized religion, (putting him out of consideration for the majority of Americans) but did attend Hebrew school, receive a Bar Mitzvah and worked on a kibbutz in Israel. He got into politics at an early age after learning of the rise of Adolf Hitler and how his father lost several relatives in the Holocaust

At the same time, Republican Donald Trump became the first person to win a primary after calling another candidate a “p----." :hehe:

I came really close to putting down a 100 bucks for this geek 5 months or so ago... :yikes: shit, that would have been a bad decision. A tree has better charisma
