The US would embarass themselves with a clown for a term

... and it's not like the president has ever been a laughingstock before.

that's true, but i can see trump publicy embarassing other politicians too.
I see him as some kind of jelzin.

Good old GB and his zany antics.... I am not sure if I miss or dread the days back when the world seriously thought the POTUS was retarded. Maybe the comedy was worth it. Everything considered, I really don't think there is much of a chance of any of the current republican candidates to not be seen in such a way. The "sane" options in the republican party were Jeb, rubio, kasich.... Their mere presence would probably be at odds with most of US allies... Heck, trump's entire foreign policy plans seem to be specifically to ruin relationships with other countries....

At least he was good at dodging

loool. I had forgotten that image. Very few images capture what the world thought of GB and the republican party in general like that image.... Or so you'd think were it not for the wonders of google...

Good old GB...

Didn't the guy with the effeminate southern accent say that choosing between cruz or trump is like choosing between getting shot or poisoned? I honestly think that if cruz was frontrunners the establishment would work with trump to get him out of the race... And as far as I can tell the establishment is aiming for kasich to get the nomination, however unlikely that may be.

Doesn't that imply hillary is the best candidate? Arguably leaving stuff as it is is better than any of the other scenarios you presented lol. Or did I miss a joke here?

I don't think so, seems like they're more scared of Trump than they are of Cruz.

Not sure if she is. She could be deceitful for all we know and fuck things up even more than the republicans have in the past few decades.

I think Bush was revolutionary in that he was the first president who became a meme. Bush will never be forgotten. :')

Probably trying to get feminists to vote for her.

People need to stop nitpicking what he said, and spend more time working hard so that they can put food on their families...

M3J · Apr 29, 2016

Nitpicking whom?

Dragoon · Apr 29, 2016

I think he's saying instead of whining about gb who is long gone as our country's leader, maybe focus on working and whatnot?

This is worth a laugh...

Well, after obama won his primary against hillary with the drive the idea of 'first black president' got, she probably learned her lesson and imitated that.

Nah, nothing so serious.

When choosing the next president, you guys jut need to remember the old Tennesseean idiom - "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me... You can't get fooled again!'"

Also, as dirty as it may be (and as much as I'd rather they spent more time talking policies)- stigmatising the opposition as 'sexist' or 'racist' is prime material for swaying people to your side...

Growing numbers of republicans have given up on the race and are instead focusing on senate seats and those such elections. Only thing we have now is just saying that at least hillary rodham obama is also disliked.

Sad thing is, where Obama could have actually fixed things or make things better, Hillary would likely do nothing or make it worse.
