It's kinda weird that a non-drinker can act this nuts.

Kennedy- unethical (?) inexperienced (?)
.....
Nixon - unstable, unethical.
Carter - inexperienced,  inept(?)
Reagan-  inept, inexperienced (?)
Bush I - inept (?)
Clinton - unethical, inexperienced (?)
Bush II - inexperienced,  inept(?)
Obama - inexperienced (?)
...

Fill in some more blanks and challenge my thumbnail portraits.  :D
Reagan, especially in his first year effectively got his agenda passed.
Bush I likewise was extremely effective in getting stuff done. I suppose one could call him politically inept since he lost.

And LBJ, who was left off for some reason, was pretty unethical.

Most of those guys had legislative experience and many had experience with governance, putting them light years ahead of Trump, whose only previous political experience was campaigning.

Bush II and Reagan were not inexperienced at all, they were both governors of large and important states.

LBJ's political ambitions were too important to be encumbered by things like principles or ideology. RIP Lyndon.

Johnson had no ethics problems - he realized some people had the silly things so he exploited that fact.

QuoteWhy did the Obama Administration start an investigation into the Trump Campaign (with zero proof of wrongdoing) long before the Election in November? Wanted to discredit so Crooked H would win. Unprecedented. Bigger than Watergate! Plus, Obama did NOTHING about Russian meddling.

I'm trying to work my head around this one.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Clinton was considered to be the most innovative and effective governor of his time.

I think this list was just another "Mongers pulls shit of of his Mongers" exercise.

The other posters, got that it was a new point to discuss and pull apart, you however went straight for attacking the poster, as is your way. Which I always find amusing given your habit of bleating about other posters resorting to ad hominem, when faced by your self-asserted formidable intellect.

Remind me again your rank in the navy, iirc wasn't it petty officer Grumbler, wanker 1st class? At least that's the impression you've given here of your experience.

Senator Thad Cochrane of Mississippi resigning due to health. Now, I'd say that's a GOP lock this November, but a Dem just won in Alabama which is even more of a GOP lock, so anything can happen.

Interested to see how this one turns out

QuoteEmerson PA-18 Poll: Lamb 48, Saccone 45

Written by Paul Engelkemier, Managing Editor


A new poll from Emerson College shows Democrat Conor Lamb with 48% support and Republican Rick Saccone with 45% in a poll conducted from March 1st through 3rd. 

The poll found that voters are excited to vote in the special election, with 56% being very excited to vote and only 7% saying they are not excited at all. 

From Emerson College:

Lamb has a positive image in the district, with 48% saying they have a favorable opinion and a 33% unfavorable rating – 15% of voters had heard of him but had no opinion. Saccone is not as popular with a 44% favorable and a 40% unfavorable rating – 15% of voters had heard of him but had no opinion.

Lamb leads 57% to 40% in Allegheny County, which is expected to account for about 42% of the vote. Saccone leads in Westmoreland County 51% to 42%, a county that comprises about 33% of the vote. Saccone leads in Washington County 46% to 41%, which make up about 22% of the vote.

The poll is released just over a week ahead of the election that national Democrats and Republicans have been investing in heavily.  Recent polls have shown the race to be close giving both sides the opportunity for a win ahead of the midterm election to build fundraising momentum. 

The poll used an online and landline sample of 474 likely voters and had a confidence interval of +/- 4.8%.

That victory depended on the Republicans nominating a complete creeper
