So far the President has handled the re-election start with skill.

He is giving them all the rope to act crazy, but when they start to try and tag him as weak, like they did Kerry, he unloaded on them with the "check with bin Laden" line. They could also ask Ghaddafi as well.

I, for one, don't think that any of these clowns are going to be the nominee.

Here is where I make the case for a brokered convention.

1) Romney is not going to be the nominee.

Its not just that he has hit a ceiling, anyone who was going to be for Romney has already signed on. Its that even those that support him don't have a deep affection for him.

Romney went to Utah to boost Bennett's nomination. Bennett doesn't even get on the ballot and the Republicans IN UTAH BOOED ROMNEY ROUNDLY. If the Mormons in Utah boo him who in the party loves him? No one.

2) Gingrich

This is the guy who said that Social Security should "wither and die"

Let the Republicans race to be the stupidest, act Presidential and prepare for a new candidate at the convention.

What are the chances that the trump republican party will win elections ?

If it is hurting the election chances of republican candidates should we promote it and let em die as we change America for the better ?
Just a thought....🤷?♂️

Sorry Professor Corey no more Soap Box (updated thread)


Edited to change the thread title and add


Thanks to the Admin to listening


(and I wanted to check about whether or not you really could edit after 24 hours.)



"Soap Box" has a connotation of somebody spewing their opinion to a crowd where "Town Square" has the connotation of a place for informed discussion.

"Soap Box" has a connotation of a mix of participants but a hefty share of incoherency (with a sprinkle of drunkenness) where "Town Square" has a connotation of serious considered opinions.

If quoted by people/media outside of DU it will sound different

"In an article by () at SOAPBOX forum at DU () pointed out . . ."

"In an article by () at the TOWNSQUARE forum at DU () pointed out . . ."

"Soap Box" conjures up the image of Professor Irwin Corey



"Town Square" conjures up the image of Ben Franklin
