2016 political predictions

[turtlespeed 212]

I was thinking about this the other day. There has been remarkably little interest from the whitehouse endorsing Hillary. I considered why, and this is what came to my mind.

1). Hillary will be offered a "way out" if she drops out of the race by the Obama's.***
2). When this happens she wil be pardoned of any wrong doing, prior to any real charges being brought up
3). Obama will have a candidate in mind, and they will not have to campaining very much at all, limiting the exposure and time to dig up dirt prior to the section.
4). It will not be Trump or Hillary and Not Bernie, so it will be a sizable % difference in the outcome.
5). I' not predicting a candidate yet.
6). As long as the candidate is a moderate, they have my vote and I assume any rational thinking moderate conservative.

Your thoughts?

What is your prediction.

I don't think any candidates do a whole lot of camping.

"by the Obama's" what?
Pardoned? I think you have to be charged with and convicted of something prior to a pardon. Neither will happen.

I'm expecting Hillary, but Bernie looks to have a chance too.
It won't be a Republican IMO. Neither R candidate offers anything except financial pain and general insanity.

Is that a question?

You type that even as we get even less from you. That was one great substantive post.

Perhaps because President Obama is currently the leader of the party, and will not endorse a candidate until the party actually chooses a candidate.

So - he doesn't want to be truthful, and transparent, and tell us who he thinks is the right person for the job. Instead, he needs to be told whom he wants to back.

And appear to influence the voting delegates? Sure, let's do that.

T, don't waste your time. Even though no POTUS endorses a candidate until they have been selected, Obama is different because....OBAMA. If he did endorse someone, they would be screaming, how dare he endorse a candidate and try to influence the election.

Nope. See Ford/Nixon.

Vote for Cruz! If we can get a Harvard Lawyer into the Oval Office, we can finally get the Change for which we have Hoped for so long!

This is the only...

What?

He is?

Nevermind.

I'd challenge anyone to attempt to endure some of Cruz's father's preaching and believe Cruz could be sane.

And you say this because you have 1st hand experience with his preaching? Did you endure it?

So, a few weeks ago, when you challenged me about wanting to bet, that was 'just trying to start a discussion?'

OK, I get it.

Do you have anything to add to the discussion, or are you just proud of your cognitive abilities and felt the need to share?

Perhaps this might be a reason that you've heard nothing from the whitehouse.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

This is so easy, that it is embarrassing.

I suppose you are right.

Not that I disagree with him, but Bill pretty much dissed the prez. And his admin.

Calling his Admin "Awful". Then going on to bash Bush, but the way it was phrased, Bush's bashing was an after thought.

Yes, it's embarrassing how badly you botched that. Obama wasn't raised by his father, therefore the sanity or otherwise of his teachings (which are insane how, by the way? I really don't know what they are.) are irrelevant to how Obama turned out.

Except for his communist mother and mentor, Frank Davis.

I equate communist leanings with romantic attraction to barnyard animals.

If you have the demonstrated capacity for either, it is immaterial whether or not you claim to have gotten over it.
