U.S. Politics Thread
let's talk about the next president lol :)

I don't like her...she's kind of a bitch.
|
I think part of the problem is that people really expect their next president to solve (or exacerbate) all of the problems of their nation. If people really want that then a shift to a monarchy makes sense, like in star wars elect a king every x years so that he can reinvent the whole country.

Wait, since when was there elections for king in star wars? Did I miss a movie somewhere?

Elected Royalty. With term limites.
On a Star Wars tangent, Chancellor Palpatine was over on his term limits as well when the Clone Wars started (using the secession emergency to stall elections) leading to his appointing himself Emperor at war's end after having served as Chancellor for 13 years or so at that point. Term limits would seem to be 8 years for that office, though I can't say if Senators to the Republic have such limits. |

Did Hillary announce a while ago that she won't be running in 2016, or am I just imagining things? |
No, but I think some in the press think she's in a good position followingher leaving her position as Secretary of State.
|
Not sure who the next president will be but I will put a bet he/she will be a one-term president.

My guess for 2016 is that the Republicans are going to use the strategy the Dems more or less ended up using back in '08:
First they'll play the National Debt card, and then ask, "Do you really want four more years of this?" |

I hope someone really exceptional comes out of the woodwork for 2016. My dad says that the best candidates are often weeded out well before the nominees are selected (ala 2000, where he says that he thinks Dan Quail was the best option). |

Ashley Judd (hot) vs Mitch McConnel (old jackass). |
If someone can win by hotness alone, I'm sure California would have had a porn star as Governor instead of Arnold.

Instead of making a US Election 2016 thread in February of 2013, shouldn't we just have a "US Politics" thread?
What say you, mods? |
