True - I was just being bitchy. I guess McCain's example is a very good one since he was to Republicans what Sanders is to Democrats (although wasnt he running against the sitting President? If so it makes it apples and oranges).
No, 2000 was a rare election where there was no incumbent.

Jet: I see.

Timmy, we have one at least every 8 years.

Timmy, hard return please.

Carter, Bush Sr., and the two second stringers Truman and LBJ didn't have 2 full terms.

Ford was a third stringer I guess. Then there is Kennedy and Nixon.

Not always, because sometimes incumbents lose. We had twenty years between the incumbent-less elections of 1968 and 1988.

Wait is Krauthammer considered the voice of reason and respectability in the Republican Party? Oh dear.

He talks quietly and never gets agitated.

One things for sure , if he wins, European bewilderment will massively trump that over either Bush or Reagan.

He went a little bonkers during GW2.

I would say George F. Will except sometimes he says some hinky things too.

How is he any different than Silvio?  His political style is practically European.

It is a very good analogy in the sense Bush was the establishment pick, but it doesn't work in that he ran to Bush's left (ie, he was the moderate).

I think a better GOP analogy would be 1996, when Buchanan challenged the establishment candidate Dole, and managed even to win New Hampshire, before fading away.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Up until today, I haven't really listened to Trump, ever.  I read about what he said, but I never watched his delivery. 

I have to say, watching Trump speak is quite a fascination show.  The guy is clearly very intelligent, and is crazy like a fox.  I can definitely see why people would be falling for him, even if every other person in Trump's position would long be disqualified for his Democrat past and maybe even present.
