NYT reports establishment Dems are asking, ‘is there anybody else’ to run for president?


And Hillary is seriously considering "third times the charm." All they need now is for Michele Obama to throw her hat into the ring too.

We Would Like To State For The Record That Hillary Clinton Is An Upstanding Citizen And A Fine Human Being

Quote
Above all, we want to make sure Hillary does not question our loyalty to her and the whole Clinton family. We have nothing bad to say about her. Also, just to be clear, we have no dirt or inside information on her whatsoever and nothing would be gained by our untimely deaths.

So, Hillary, we love you! Please do not hurt us.

Some advice from Joy Behar for the candidates

Quote
    They should not tell everything they’re going to do. Like, if you’re gonna take people’s guns away, wait until you get elected. Then take the guns away. Don’t tell them ahead of time.

Are these the same pollsters that assured us Hillary was going to win by an historic landslide?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Hillary enters and a left of center third party runs. A reverse Perot.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

FTFY

I can think of at least one "poll" that says she'd lose in an election against Donald Trump.

Tulsi "Kamala-Slayer" Gabbard and Amy "I throw things at my staff" Klobuchar have qualified for the November debates.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I hear that one sampled a lot more people than most of them do.

Elizabeth Warren's Plan To Pay For Medicare For All: Spend So Much The National Debt Clock Rolls Over To Zero

Quote
Warren has since explained, though, that that mind-boggling cost is actually a part of the plan to pay for it. “If anything, I want it to cost more,” Warren told the press. “Because here is how we’re going to afford it all: We’re going to roll over the National Debt Clock to zero, wiping out all our debt!”

The National Debt Clock is a counter at One Bryant Park in Manhattan that records the ever-increasing national debt. Warren pointed out that it only has fourteen digits, so if they can get it to $99,999,999,999,999 and spend one dollar more, the number will reset to zero. “We’re only at a little over $23 trillion,” Warren explained. “So we have quite a ways to go. Hence my ridiculous Medicare for All plan.”

Once the counter rolls over, it will then be important for the country to immediately stop overspending so as to not just end up back in the same situation, but Warren expressed confidence that “we can stop any time we want.”

Makes as much sense as her economic plan.

I'm pretty sure if I'm a Dem. pres. candidate in 2020, I really, really WANT Bill Gates to say that I would tax all his billionaire dollars away.


Pretty good headline, this:

"Bernie Sanders Attacks Bill Gates’ Wealth. Gates Employs Over 100,000 People. Sanders Does Other Things."

Funny how all these "eat the rich" types never consider themselves one of the rich.

https://elizabethwarrenwiki.org/income-and-net-worth/

(Granted, it's nowhere near Gates or Zuckerberg, but well in the 1% stratosphere)




ETA: ... and the clown car just got a bit more crowded:

I wonder if Sanders wants to take 95% of Bloomberg's net worth.
