Democrat Party Seems Divided

[AquaMan]

Insightful! Then we can work on homophobic or maybe age-ist.

It's getting real bad now. The divide is so bad some people are calling it a potential civil war in the democratic ranks. Uh-Oh. Hair on fire alert!!!

Your sources crack me up.

Hotair. com was founded by Michelle Malkin. You may remember her as the crazy who got fired by Fox News after fighting with Geraldo Rivera.

You might as well post stories your hairdresser told you.

I believe the last time I saw Guido I would describe his "hairdresser" as Norelco.

I thought it was a creative insult. Glad you understood.

If you can't laugh at yourself....

The interview yesterday of Elizabeth Warren by Katy Couric was very enlightening.  Warren is going to take the position that Hillary is cosy with Wall Street and adopt the Occupy crowd, and judging from the reactions of the crazy wing of my family up in Oregon and California, it's working.

Hillary is not particularly well liked among progressives, and Warren seems to hit on all cylinders with them.  It may be a hard road for Warren though, because it's obvious by her recent silence on foreign affairs, that Hillary is counting on the high likelihood that we will be at war in 2016.  The complete collapse in foreign policy positions Hillary for unchallenged nomination. 

I think Warren will also have a difficult time motivating the Occupy and RaisTheWage crowd to show up at a polling place (on the correct day).

She was on Letterman last night, but we passed up the opportunity to watch.  Another cult of personality candidate. 

Only thing missing with her that I see is the debutante treatment Bill Clinton received at the Democratic convention in '88 and Obama got in '04.  Julian Castro seemed to be the one they were pimping er primping in '12.

She might be a really good VP candidate.  She shares the ability to tell real whoppers about her accomplishments/family heritage just like crazy Uncle Joe and she would likely make any president impeachment and assassination-proof.

I don't know.  There will be great carnage in the democrat primaries this round. The Clintons are ruthless and cunning, and any challenger will need to be just as ruthless to hold up against them. 

Lieawatha has so much baggage lying around on YouTube, that I'm fairly confident the Clinton camp has already designed the attack ads, and it would be hard for Hillary to turn around and offer her hand to Warren's bloody stump when the campaign is over. Besides, she'll need someone young inexperienced and popular to round-out the ticket.  She will also need someone who can hold on to what is left of the Obama supporters.

I'm leaning towards Cory Booker.

Would Booker have enough appeal to pragmatic independents while still being able to court the moon bat left?  So far, I've not heard any candidate names floating around I'd care to vote for.  I've never voted (D) for president.  Not that I'm beyond that, they've simply not run a candidate I cared for.

FWIW, I also think Hillary would be considered too centrist for the far left of the Democrat Party.  One positive legacy from the Clinton years is how well the economy did for most of his tenure.  Part of that was the unprecedented growth in the tech and communications sectors which would have made any president look good, but they also were more business-friendly than the current admin has been.

Booker is actually quite popular among independents.  I really like the guy, even though I disagree with some of his politics.  He is really eager and engaging.  I've actually had social media conversations with him, and he remains likable even when you disagree with him, something that Hillary desperately needs.  I think he would make an almost unbeatable ticket, bullet-proof, and create a legacy by offering a VP candidate with the appeal to be elected president some day.

Even more strife noted. I fear the democratic party might be dissolving this time.

As for Booker, I like him personally as well.

Five comments in a row by republicans of who they think should be the democratic nominee for President.

You guys crack me up.
