Could be another historic first because I had no clue that Biden swung both ways. In Iowa he did a shout out to one of his "old butt buddies". I'm hoping Neil Smith was already out or things could be awkward for him.

Maybe his face lift turned out a little too tight and it's effecting his judgement. j/k, he's always engaged his mouth before thinking.

Speaking of face lifts, when will Hillary reappear with hers? How long does it take for the bruising to subside?

President Biden would be amusing, but he'd probably be a pretty bad President. He might even be as bad as having another Republican President. But I'm not sure if even HE could be as bad as a Republican.

electoral politics is redundant. not just in the USA, but globally...

we need a new system...because every president promises x, delivers y, is detested and the same thing happens every election. and always has, even "wise" people like Jefferson made a shitload of mistakes...

Wouldn't it be funny if an actually honest candidate came around that actually told the truth to the people and said exactly what he would be able to deliver (almost zero) in the current economical climate? While simultaneously refraining from using Superpacs and attack ads and evasiveness and sucking up to koch bothers all kinds of things voters detest?

lol, He'd be unelectable.

Biden is listed as a 33/1 proposition. If I were to go long on a future President longshot bet I'd probably rather try someone like Mark Warner at 66/1 or Susana Martinez at 50/1. I'd also probably fade O'Malley after saying a while back that Obama's economy wasn't better than Bush's.

I was with you until you mentioned the Koch brothers. It's just petty and shows your bias. I'd like to see a candidate that stood up before the people and said I will vote whatever way the majority of you want me to vote regardless of whether I feel you are right or you are wrong. I will be there to abide by your wishes. Obviously I'm not talking about the President. His role should be returned to the original intent which is solely to enforce the law.

He'd be a good one. Better than a Koch picked candidate. 30 more years of trickle down, no thanks.

Obama has made huge strides in the area of wealth inequity in favor of his "constituents" and they'll most likely see continued "progress" if another Democrat is elected to the WH.

Are you saying that if we enacted the Republican platform things would be better for income inequality? If so, please explain.

Reagan. Trickle-down economics. Make the top much wealthier and then the poor will be wealthier, um, somehow, because he said so.

We did the make the wealthy wealthier part. We are just waiting for the trickle down part. It'll come any day now.

Any day.

I suppose pretending Repubs didn't control all three branches of government for most of the naughts wasn't proof enough that their party has inferior solutions to Dems/liberals, eh?

Democrats have had substantial control the past 6 years and we can clearly see the fruits of their labors. I was hoping for change we can believe in. How about you?

I see the Ministry of Plenty has taught you well. We've always been at war with Eastasia.

Minus the Senate that now requires 60 votes to pass legislation.

Yeah, the economy is recovering nicely, the stock market is at record highs, troops are coming home from foreign wars.
If Republicans couldn't beat Obama in the depths of recession, they will have no chance against Hillary in a recovering economy.

The fruits of their labors in the last 6 years are absolutely excellent historically, of that there is little doubt post Sept-2008 financial crisis. Not only has the private sector job growth been vastly superior between 09-14 compared to the 8 yrs under GWB , but getting deficits under control, stabilizing income gains and of course tens of millions with health insurance.

EDIT: By comparison, what was accomplished under GWB with Republican Congress 01-06? Patriot Act and tax cuts? Iraq?
