John Fugelsang: Can W's brother beat Clinton's wife?

[Playinghardball]

[gratuitous]

1. Clinton's husband whipped W's daddy

So we'll see.

[NYC_SKP]

2. By running Clinton, we risk getting a Republican for president.

Just fucking peachy.

[QuestionableC]

6. We guarantee it.

[SoapBox]

14. Absolutely.

And for those so confident that she could win America over...times have changed. The likes of FuksNews and other Bagger propaganda machines, have already worked hard over at least 10 years to hammer the evils of this Clinton. She has also not done herself any favors with her less than Progressive leanings.

Unfortunately, America will not elect a female President. I am however terrified by the thought of Jebbie and someone like Fiorina as his VP.

Dems need SERIOUS consideration for a candidate that can actually win.

[yourout]

3. Either way......we all lose.

[840high]

11. Amen.

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. Yeah, no kidding.

[Dr. Strange]

30. Sadly, yes.

[madinmaryland]

4. The BFEE goes back at least 100 years if not hundreds more...

The Clinton "dynasty" dates back to 1992. Try comparing what Bill Clinton's father and grandfather did and the look at what *'s father and grandfather did.

You will see there is no comparison at all.

[joeybee12]

15. Egad, for once you're right!

[madinmaryland]

16. I am sick and FUCKING tired of the comparisons Bill/Hilary Clinton and the BFEE.

There is no fucking comparison. Anyone who buys into that is a right wing tool.

BTW, Thanks for your support, El Supremo, err uh joeybee12!!

[Cha]

20. I agree with that.. thanks for pointing it out, madinmaryland.

[LittleBlue]

5. This is so depressing

Our options seem to be relatives of successful politicians. American politics is becoming the musical chairs contests you see in banana republics.

[JDPriestly]

7. Wow! Full circle. Says it all.

Hopefully Democrats won't nominate Clinton and we can campaign on not having Bush royalty once again in the White House.

[dumbcat]

8. Inherited power? Has the 2016 election been cancelled?

I didn't get the memo.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. I can't help wondering if running Jeb! is a ploy to cause people to reject Hillary on the basis of

the dynasty thing.

[colsohlibgal]

10. Really

Bush - Clinton -Bush - Clinton - it's getting old.

[armed_and_liberal]

12. I would rather be bitching about President Hillary Clinton..

than bitching about President Jeb Bush. As much as I love true progressives such as Warren and Sanders, The reality is they haven't a snowball's chance in hell of being elected POTUS in the current political climate.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

17. Kinda like getting a menu that offers a choice of fried pablum or baked pablum.

Fortunately, my menu usually comes with more than 2 choices.

[treestar]

18. They would not have inherited it

They have to be elected in their own right. Good grief, do we have to be dishonest in our arguments?

[NewDeal_Dem]

21. yes, do we? because being elected and inheriting it are mutually excluding.

[treestar]

22. I can get that their relationships

give them access to the fame that is needed. Still they have to be elected in their own right - it's not that they get it as of right like Prince William.

I guess it's too hard for some to differentiate.

[NewDeal_Dem]

23. Since power decides who will be selected to be elected in the first place, and since power

funds campaigns, and since if the election goes wrong there's always the electoral college, the difference is not that great.

I guess it's too hard for some to differentiate, however.

[treestar]

24. It is pretty great

It's not like there is any choice whatsoever when it comes to true inheritance, like Prince William. He doesn't need money, electoral colleges or anything. That's what inheritance means. You are born to it.

Hillary still has to fight her way through the system and be elected POTUS and the fact Bill once was does not give her any leg up in that. We don't have to elect her or any other Bushes. True inherited power - no election and no choice by the people (which is likely why most monarchies have fallen away).

[NewDeal_Dem]

25. tell it to the marines.

[treestar]

27. Sorry, I don't understand that comment.

Most marines mostly likely understand the difference between a monarchy and a system of election, whatever its faults.

[NewDeal_Dem]

28. our system of election = rich people grooming, publicizing and funding wannabees. a slate of

wannabees is publicized to the public who may 'vote' for any of the wannabees, all of whom are already in the pockets of wealth.

and if something goes wrong and a wild card carries the popular vote, it can be fixed through the electoral college, which is also safely in the hands of the powerful.

[tiredtoo]

19. And the Oligarchy lives on. EOM

[oldandhappy]

26. ah, yes, 1776

We are already a long way from there. Power is one of the evils that came out of Pandora's box and we will struggle with it always. Have been looking at maps and trying to be aware of what is happening in other places. We are not unique.

[DrDan]

29. he sure can . . . and it will not be pretty
