How long before it's us?

That's when they air it on MY NPR affiliate, not on yours.  I'm sure that I will fade out before it airs tonight.  I'll listen to the pod cast tomorrow.

I never listen to that show on the air. I just get the podcasts automatically and toss the ones I'm not interested in.

...his true colors are showing now....Hillary could seal the deal, and wrap it up, by choosing him as VP....

What If??



        A big earthquake with the strength of 8.1 on the Richter scale hits
the Middle East.


        Two million Muslims die and over a million are injured.


        Iraq, Iran and Syria are totally ruined and the governments don't
know where to start with providing help to rebuild.   


        The rest of the world is in shock.


        Britain is sending troops to help keep the peace.


        Saudi Arabia is sending oil & monetary assistance. 


        Latin American countries are sending clothing.


        New Zealand and Australia are sending sheep, cattle and food crops.


        The Asian countries are sending labor to assist in rebuilding the
infrastructure.


        Canada is sending medical teams and supplies.

        President Donald Trump, not to be outdone, is sending two million
replacement Muslims.


         God Bless President Trump.

I could live with Graphic's scenario where Elizabeth Warren gets the nod and then Hillary goes to jail with Warren becoming President.  Maybe she would appoint Bernie at that point   LOL

Frankly, I don't see Hillary beating Trump.  There are far too many people who don't care for Trump but would be willing to flip the old saying, "better the devil you know (than the devil you don't)", to avoid more of the same ole same ole from Hillary and her kind.....

I'm afraid I don't believe that.........the Repub hype has been relentless, but soon the electorate will see the difference between a 'grownup' in the room and a racially unstable bigot spoiled brat.....I cannot see where anyone would want this man dictating foreign policy, or steering the economy....that's down right scary......you think the VietNam draft sent people to Canada....LOL.....it'll be an exodus.....

That was my scenario Dennis. the part about the Supreme Court may be a bit extreme, but the Veep part still seems pretty solid to me:

I've been thinking.
This could happen from the Democratic point of view:

Hillary gets nomination. She's pretty much got it sowed up now, unless something serious comes (rather than what most Demos thing of as the GOP fictions we hear now). This is always a possibility though.

Sander does win. Some of his followers are less inclined to vote for Hillary (bad for politics). One of the traditional ways to heal up these kind of differences (not so much in the case of a blood feud as they have in the GOP) is to Pick someone for Vice President form the aggrieved group.

Sanders would probably not work (for many reasons), but someone who would, would be Elizabeth Warren (one of my favorite politicians). I would have liked to see her run for President, but no!!!

With Hillary & Elizabeth they would have the Girl Team, which I think would has a nice ring to it campaign-wise.
If Hillary gets indicted or something, Warren is the automatic back-up, which would be fine with me.

After the thing or things (meaning candidates) that come out of the current Republican party mess, they could well lose the Presidency and the Senate.

Hillary or Elizabeth appoint Obama to the Supreme Court.
The GOP should not have been such jerks!

It seems very unlikely that Sanders will be selected as Veep to me for a lot of tactical and personal political reasons.
I'm not sure what happens if the Veep becomes president. It used to remain empty till the next election with the potential transfer of power going to the Speaker of the House, but things might have changed after the Nixon/Ford thing.
If it has changed, I would expect an appointment by the Chief Executive would require approval by a legislative branch entity like the Senate.

Unless Trump starts acting more like a responsible person, I have a strong feeling that Hillary (or just about anyone) will tear him up like Goldwater was in 1964.

If he were able to act normal and less like a dictator, he has a chance, but not 50-50.
He seems to think that his personality along got him through the primaries (which it did) and wants to continue that approach in the general election. Too bad for him (and the Republican party).
