Democrats are in denial. Their party is actually in deep trouble.

[DGuller]

Are we done talking about how high level our wizards are now?

I hope not.  We were about to reach a breakthrough in developing a self-perception based IQ test.

I consider myself a pretty smart guy.  IRL, I've know several people who are smarter than me.  Here on Languish, there are several posters I figure are roughly as smart as I am, and some that may be smarter.  You're not one of 'em.

Good to know, thanks.

That came out meaner than I intended.  Sorry.

FWIW, I agree with you that as a group, posters here have an unusually high level of intelligence.

[Savonarola]

Fools often tend to think they're the smartest people around.  Smart people tend to realize that there's always someone smarter then them out there somewhere.

"Smart" is probably not the right term for DGuller; a smart person would have learned to ignore Berkut's gibes some time ago.  He does come across as intelligent at least to me; (though consider the source.)

The big problem that the Dems are having is a complete lack of new political talent. From the democratic debate to Congress all the democratic politicians look like they should be living in an assisted living community in Florida playing bingo. There doesn't seem to be any high profile democrat who doesn't already collect a social security check.

The Castro brothers?

You're clearly a very smart man.

An unaccomplished mayor in a deep red state?  The reason he has drawn so much attention is because that is the best they can do at this time. He could very well be the VP nominee just because he is the only Hispanic politician of any prominence in the Democratic Party.

The GOP has two high profile Hispanic candidates for president right now and a deep bench of prominent Hispanic politicians with potential national roles.  It's funny since the democrats are supposed to be the party of Hispanics, probably one reason for their increasingly hysterical Republicans are TEH RASIST cries.

There are no prominent democratic governors or members of Congress at all that aren't geriatric. In 2017 the democrats will have to rebuild their talent pool from scratch.

Cuomo

I've also read good things about that Rhode Island treasurer, or maybe Lt. governor, the one that fixed their pension problem.

FWIW I think y'all are a bunch of bona fide genuises.

Oh yeah, a real gang of regular brainiacs here on languish. No doubt.

That would be the guy who came under investigation by his own anti-corruption task force and then had them fired?  Yeah, he doesn't have a political future.

[DGuller]

I haven't followed New York politics for about a decade, but from what I'm hearing, Cuomo is quite a piece of work.  These types tend to have skeletons lying around in the closet.

[Razgovory]

Andrew Cuomo ain't going anywhere.  He's to much of a back-biting asshole.

[Admiral Yi]

Would that make him either unknown or geriatric?  Don't move the goal posts on me you square headed deserter.

Plus his squeeze is the chick that made that kwanza cake.

I'll wait while you look that up on YouTube.
