The only one I see is Bernie Sanders. He announced his candidacy in public. He took Questions and laid out his platform. Everything Hilary hasn't done and doesn't seem to think she needs to do. I don't like Sanders and I think his policies will be more dangerous than Obama's but I respect him. He isn't afraid to say who he is. He's out there and Hilary is hiding.
The Democrats would only be in worse trouble if their candidates were Hitler, Idi Amin and Jim Jones...
I honestly believe the GOP could run McCain and win this time around. It's that bad...

I like and respect him, though I think he's nuts.
The funny thing is, in any other decade he'd have to run third party to split the vote running as a socialist, but since the Dim party has embraced a Marxist and his policies, Bernie feels right at home running against people left of him.
This is rich, they are now dealing with their own Perot.

I too respect and abhor Sanders, for his honesty in stating his positions, and for those positions themselves. At least he wouldn't be lying 24/7/365 like What-Does-It-Matter.
I'm only guessing but from the lack of evidence to the contrary it seems safe to say Sanders would
probably not be as anti-Christian and anti-white and anti-capitalist as Obama --- and surely
NOT as determined to destroy our system. Unlike Hussein he would be striving to keep America but turn it completely socialist. Obama just wants it all to burn.
But to call Sanders a Perot? Nah. Perot had his own deep pockets to run on, and Sanders does not. Hillary's stockpile (despite IRS issues) is still plenty large enough to blow Sanders' campaign straight out of the bathtub.

Believe me, Sanders will do the exact same thing to the Dims that Perot did to the OP, split the vote.
Not that it matters when you consider a 30% turnout of Dim voters in 2016, splitting such a tiny number, is like splitting the last pea at dinner.
Difference being, we on the right learned a valuable lesson back then, but the leftists will blame Sanders, rather than accept the fact that the nation has rejected Marxist policy.
No, I don't believe Sanders has a prayer, nor does any Dim, but it will show that the party is deeply divided, a divide I don't believe they can overcome.

I remain welded to the position that as long as Hillary burns good oxygen, the race is still wide-open.
Clintons are involved. Pay the **** attention here! :cry:
One-third of the registered fools showed up last time, an off-year election. This time the educrats and party hacks will find the women voters who swooned for that black guy without ever asking what he actually stood for. They'll scrape up the sycophants and arse-lickers, the Pajama Boy beta-males and the desperately-twisted perverts.
Sanders will not survive their party convention (or caucus, I still haven't bothered to figure out which it really is). He's visually as old as those Republicans our youth-obsessed shallow thinkers have come to adore....and shoot, haven't we had ENOUGH of men screwing things up, so why not elect the wife of Monica Lewinsky's boyfriend and let HER ruin some more of America?

Oh, I don't doubt for a second Hitlery won't be the chosen one, but his entrance will expose a serious rift within the party, but when the dust settles, and 2016 is over, Hitlery will have garnered a whopping 30% of the vote nationwide.
In any statisticians view, that is considered a bloody defeat. Not just of a failed politician, but a rejection of the platform she represents, Marxism.
My bad, I didn't factor n the 12% fraud vote by the party.

I neither like nor respect him.
He is an habitual liar (like most all Democrats). He claims to be a Socialist, but in reality he is quite wealthy:
His assets in 2009:
Chittenden Bank IRA $15,001 to $50,000
CREF Fixed Income Bonds $15,001 to $50,000
CREF Social Choice Multi Asset $1,001 to $15,000
Rental Property $100,001 to $250,000
TIAA Global Equities, Stocks, Growth $15,001 to $50,000
TIAA Guaranteed Traditional $15,001 to $50,000
TIAA Personal Annuity Fixed Account $1,001 to $15,000
TIAA Real Estate Fund $1,001 to $15,000
VALIC Fixed Income $50,001 to $100,000
VALIC Hybbrid $1,001 to $15,000
VALIC Large Mid Small Cap Fund $1,001 to $15,000
His net worth has increased 229% since joining the Senate.
And, of course, he has his Senate salary of $174,000 a year - when the average American makes $50,000 a year or less!
Tell me, again, about the income inequality, Senator Sanders! :rolleyes:
He is a shill for the wealthy union bosses and despite his "Independent" classification, he is a Leftist Democrat. Saying he is a "better" Democrat than Hilary is like saying Himmler was a better NAZI than Goebbels!
AND NOW, A WORD FROM CHARLES...
"What I think is impressive is that when you poll Democrats there is very little erosion because no alternative [to Hillary Clinton]. There's nobody on the bench. They got one hitter. She's up at bat and they have to put all their hope in her because there's no one behind her." – Charles Krauthammer on "Special Report with Bret Baier."

He's absolutely right. It's why I say Hitlery will be the chosen one, they have nothing else.
It's also why they tried to get her baggage out in front now while they still can.

I don't think she'll be a candidate much longer. She'll have to withdraw. -Probably by July. Until then, the baggage will simply keep amassing, alongwith the increasingly disquieting

I have quoted Quiller because I have a question about his signature cartoons. Number one, how do you get a strip like that? Is there some way or some sort of program out there to make my own and then upload it?
And number two, whats the welcome wagon one about? It's the squirel I don't get. Many years ago, before most folks even knew there was an internet. I knew someone who, well lets just say is/was "unique" lol. They used that, as a username too, so I can't help but wonder if it's some how a ref to them. :lol:

That's been the hope and plan of the Dim party all along, to damage her. They know she hasn't a chance in Hell of winning, but truth is, no one on the left has a better chance than her. How sad is that?

They have someone in mind if they are really trying to knock off their front runner! I say Obama's buddy Kerry! We are going to see the hard sell that this Iran deal is the greatest Achievement since the Japanize surrender! They are going to portray him as the greatest diplomat we have ever seen to accomplish such a wonderful goal! Hillary has no record at State to speak of and with the LSM they will toss her aside!! :popcorn:
I don't think she will drop out. She has no problems taking down the party in her attempts to win the presidency.
She will napalm the village if need be.

Kerry, O'Malley Among Top 10 Hillary Challengers
The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showed the former secretary of state rated favorably by 42% of likely voters nationwide and 42% unfavorably. This is down from March, when the same poll showed Clinton's favorable-unfavorable at 44%-36%.
Here are some "Hillary challengers" being mentioned:
1. John Kerry, 71, Clinton's successor as secretary of state, was the nearly-successful Democratic nominee against George W. Bush in 2004. The former Massachusetts senator remains a sentimental favorite among his party's liberal grass roots and can always count on needed funding, thanks to wife Teresa Heinz Kerry (widow of the late Republican Sen. John Heinz, heir to the ketchup fortune). No friend of the Clintons, Kerry delivered a key endorsement to Obama at a critical point in the '08 nomination battle with then-New York Sen. Hillary Clinton. Some Obama acolytes are said to be courting Kerry, who came within the electoral votes of one state (Ohio) of unseating Bush in '04.
2. Al Gore, 67, also evokes warm sentiments among grass-roots Democrats, many of whom believe he actually won the disputed 2000 election against Bush. It is no secret that Bill Clinton's vice president has grown distant from his ticket mate and, like Kerry, he supported Obama over Hillary Clinton in '08. Working against a "Gore II" bid are his divorce from wife Tipper, unfavorable reviews for recent speeches on his personal crusade for climate change, and some weight gain. Climate change continues to animate the Democratic left, so Gore remains viable.
3. Jerry Brown, 77, incredibly, is governor of California today and its oldest governor, 40 years after becoming the Golden State's youngest governor. Once ridiculed as "Gov. Moonbeam" for his meanderings about outer space, Brown has lost three past bids for the Democratic nomination. Now legally termed out from ever running for governor again in 2018, no one rules out a fourth Brown bid for the nomination.
4. Andrew Cuomo, 57, was just re-elected to his second term as governor of New York and, having served as Bill Clinton's housing secretary, has good relations with the Clinton family and its political organization. The son of the late New York Gov. Mario Cuomo —a beloved liberal icon in his heyday — the younger Cuomo has tried to hold the line on spending in the Empire State to the consternation of the left. Known for his hair-trigger temper, Cuomo lives with girlfriend Sandy Lee. With the indictment of Democratic Assembly Speaker and close ally Sheldon Silver, recent polls show the governor's popularity plummeting.
5. Former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb, 69, insists he's running, but as nationally-syndicated columnist Michael Barone noted to Newsmax, "he won his only Senate term [in '06] with anti-war Northern Virginia liberals who don't want him as president now." A best-selling novelist, decorated U.S. Marine Corps veteran in Vietnam and briefly secretary of the navy under Republican President Ronald Reagan, Webb stunned Old Dominion Democrats by unseating Sen. George Allen in '06 only to announce his retirement in '12.
6. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, 52, dubbed during his stint as mayor of Baltimore as the Democratic Party's "hottest political property since Jack Kennedy" by Chris Matthews, is seriously exploring the race. Working against him is a record number of tax increases while he was governor and his chosen heir losing the governorship to Republican Larry Hogan in a state that went 62 percent for Obama.
7. Rahm Emanuel 55, is an intriguing prospect, months after being re-elected mayor of Chicago over a spirited left-of-center challenger. Once top political adviser in the Clinton White House and Obama's first chief of staff, Emmanuel as mayor took a hard line against demands of striking teachers. Uber-agent brother Ari could bring in heavy Hollywood endorsements.
8. New York's Mayor Bill de Blasio, 54, an unabashed leftist, has sparked recent speculation about running. He recently made a tour through the Midwest touting a progressive agenda. De Blasio's black wife and son, whom he proudly points to as a modern mixed family, could draw significant black votes in Democratic primaries.
9. Deval Patrick, 58, was the first black governor of Massachusetts (he left office in January) and one-time head of the Civil Rights Division in the U.S. Department of Justice. Reportedly a personal friend of President Obama's, the former governor made news recently with a spirited defense of the rollout of Obamacare in his state. Obama proved that a black candidate in the Democratic party starts with an enormous base.
10. Joe Biden, 72, brings out one intriguing common denominator among political scientists and Democratic operatives Newsmax spoke to: not one so much as mentioned the name of the vice president, who no doubt would like to be a candidate. Biden, who will be 73 in 2016, is the second-oldest vice president in history after fellow Democrat Alben Barkley (Harry Truman's vice president, who was 74 when he left office). Said to be disliked by Obama and his entourage, Biden is popular among rank-and-file Democrats.

Note Who is on the Top of their list!
That is one ugly list. Can we imagine a debate between any of them and Cruz?

Any of them against any of the ones on the republican side! Even our RINO's can't lose against that line up!( They will be out in the primary anyway) :popcorn:

The debates will be a pivotal point in the primaries and the general campaign. I am eager to see our man Cruz in action on the platform. That is when the field will begin to narrow!
I think it would be GREAT to see some of those democrats on the list debating during the primary season. Hillary will not be able to compete with any of them. The younger democrats would fair better than the older crowd.
The democrats are in real trouble with the younger voters this time around. The fact that there are no really viable young democrats on the bench bodes well for conservatives. RINOs know that also..... that is why they have co-opted Rubio to their gray-haired den. They need him badly!
It is the conservative grassroots who really wield the most power this time around. The polls (skewed as they may be) reflect the waining influence of the establishment folks. Money can't buy it this time around!

I have quoted Quiller because I have a question about his signature cartoons. Number one, how do you get a strip like that? Is there some way or some sort of program out there to make my own and then upload it?
I use PaintShop Pro to crop, size and arrange images into the signature blocs I use (on a rotating basis). For best results, don't go any denser than 100 pixels per inch and a combined strip length of not more than about 550 to 600 pixels (default width of this forum page WITHOUT having to move a scroll bar sideways to see the entire thing). This strip is 1-1/4 inches high (125 pixels).
Another similar program to PSP is the freeware program GIMP, although I haven't used it myself but went with a paid model instead.
