Joe Biden is the last, best hope.

Anyhow I voted Biden; the Biden-Trump debates will become the stuff of legend.  Not "Legend" in the sense of Kennedy-Nixon or Lincoln-Douglas; but instead like the aged Beowulf and the dragon.  In the upcoming dark ages bards will sing songs of the contest in their liege's mead hall.

Unless Schultz does run, in which case Bloomberg is the best possible choice.

After last night's Democrat Debate I'm reconsidering; a de Blasio-Trump debate would also be amazing.  They're White!  They're Male! and boy howdy are they ANGRY!
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I think his campaign bid is pretty but no question he successfully executed on his strategy last night.

It's an aesthetically pleasing campaign, no doubt about it.

I really like Pete Buttigieg. He is almost certainly too young, but could you imagine him in a debate with Trump? He would wipe the floor with him.

Same. And I think he is the candidate most likely to get GOP voters to abandon party lines.

Mayor Pete seems like a good dude, too. He's a veteran, a Christian, white, male, and not bonkers socialist, either. Also in a happy marriage! The Religious Right should be happy with him!
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

No they can sympathise with somebody who TALKS about those morals, but then ignores them in practice, like they do.

I don't yet have a top pick for nominee, but Bernie Sanders is no longer my bottom pick.  Wizard-lady is now my bottom pick.
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

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I don't know. While admirable that he admitted his weakness, I'm not sure I feel comforted on his handling of minority and police matters in South Bend. I'm also not all that comfortable, though I understand why, with his frequent mentions to his faith.
