First Gathering of Old White People

[Vegas Halo Fan]

This is going to be a depressing election. One party trying to relive the Clinton years, the other trying to relive the 1950s.

[Adam]

Hillary is such a whore. She should probably be a republican tho

[Rico]

I thought old man Bernie rocked the house.  Feel the Bern!

[Rico]

Republicans nominated a Mormon last time, and a muslim won.  So I don't think it will be an issue. 

[Jay]

It will be a love fest between the candidates

 

yep

[Spirit]

We appear to be headed towards a match-up of Team Pantsuit vs Team Toupee.

 

 

God help us, everyone. 

[Glen]

I expect Bernie to lose ground once everyone sees him on TV.

After tonight the Dems will be screaming for Biden.

Anyway that's my prediction.

Yep?

1 out of 2.

 

If you're a batter in baseball, that's solid.  If you're a quarterback in football, that sucks. 

 

If you're an online pundit on AngelsSpin, that ... ummm ...  I'm not sure what that gets you. 

[Adam]

A "gotcha" and a Rallymo sighting

[Jay]

Yep?

 

too soon, give it a few hours at least.

Likes from Repcons.

It wasn't too soon for you to pat yourself on the back for your other prediction.

[mtangelsfan]

no interest in culling back the Patriot Act-check

No interest in getting out of the middle-east-check

No interest in paring back the size, power and scope of the federal government-check

No interest in stopping the use of drones-check

No interest in making the government more transparent-check

No plan for the Syria/Russia problem-check

No specifics on gun use/control-check 

No real specifics in how the middle-class will be helped by their policies (because they will get screwed, as always)

 

Clinton was the politician she is

Saunders seemed clueless on foreign policy

 

I don't know how anyone can stomach what they are/aren't peddling.

[Jay]

It wasn't too soon for you to pat yourself on the back for your other prediction.

 

That's because it happened during the debate.  No need to wait.

 

You're kind of slow in the morning eh?

[Adam]

I didn't watch much of the debate, but I thought Sanders did great and really helped himself. Hillary really, really, really, really wants to be president. 

[Jay]

Sanders and Clinton were good.  Clinton clearly came out on top.

 

The other candidates were bad.  Lincoln Chafee was awful.

 

Fifteen dollas an houa !!!  

 

He tries to present it like it's fresh and brilliant but it's just a slogan at this point.  Why not $20, $25 per hour?  Why is 15 the magic number?

 

He'll do more harm than good to the economy if elected.  But I don't see how he can be elected.

Seems, as usual, the presidential candidates believe that facts are, at best, an inconvenience.  

[Crampknees]

Ok, so what's tonight's "drink!" word?  

 

Trump?

 

Diversity?  (giggle)

 

Obama?

 

Congress?  (good Lord, we may die of alcohol poisoning on this one)

 

Guns?  

I am glad you brought this up because for those of you scoring at home, Trump was the clear winner in this debate.

Sometimes I am, yeah.  Fair enough.

Hillary reminds me of the episode of the Simpsons when Sideshow Bob is running for office and does a bit about how Quimby flips and flops.  Wish I could find a clip of it, and by that I mean I'm too lazy to search and hope somebody else knows what I'm talking about and agrees.

Why not $15 an hour?  It's not difficult to figure out.  It's a round number, divisible by five, easy to remember, and it's an increase over the current rate.  

 

I may be slow in the morning but I can figure that out.  But yeah, nice hyperbole and rhetoric.  Why not $40 an hour?  Why not promise moon boots as well?

I bet Hillary was so pissed that the Old Jew didn't attack her.

That was a pretty smooth move by Sanders.

 

I don't think he won the debate though.

 

Clinton is just keeping her powder dry until Biden decides what he's doing.

 

Then she cranks up the opposition research machine and destroys somebody.

 

I think that's what Biden is afraid of.
