The only thing I can think, and this is tin-foil hat country, is that she literally (and I mean that in the actual definition of the word, not figuratively) knows where bodies are buried, knows who has been paid to keep their mouths shut, and who exactly visited that island of Jeffery Epstein's. That's all I've got.
She's the least likable politician since Richard Nixon, she's twice as crooked, she elevated duplicity and backstabbing to a high art not seen since the worst depredations of the Roman Senate, she is literally physically rotting away and she couldn't be more out of touch with everything if she was in orbit around Neptune. And remember this isn't some new thing, either, this isn't "Oh this only happened since '08" type situation: this fucking bitch was trying to co-president the country in 1992. Remember "I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president."? Remember " They are often the kinds of kids that are called superpredators — no conscience, no empathy."?
I have never seen a singularly more unelectable national candidate and I grew up watching Jimmy "Malaise" Carter, Michael "Willie Horton" Dukakis, Jessie "Hymietown" Jackson and John "Herman Munster" Kerry take a shot at the title. With that said, of the four, only Kerry comes close to Clinton's awfulness, and he's a far, far, far distant second.
So yeah if the DNC is pinning their hopes on a Clinton run and trying to game the system and manufacture new rules post ad hoc when they can't, it has to be that she has a cubic parsec of dirt on people. Because that cunt couldn't get elected village dogcatcher in an unopposed election otherwise.

Hillary will not run again, but people like her will. Both parties are always changing their rules after last year's primary. (example: Republicans tried to spread things out after 2008 because their primary ended way earlier than the Democrats', which resulted in them not getting any press for a lot of months, but then 2012 was a shit-show because of Santorum so they tried to tighten it back up in 2016, which helped Trump steamroll everyone before the no-hopers realized the futility of their campaigns and dropped out.)

Its not about a conspiracy its more about, like, you shouldnt have to be beholden to two parties. The motherfucker's not a democrat, he's not a democrat. If he has different values than the mainstream, it's good for him to express them and show himself as not the "standard candidate". You should be allowed to have and run on your platform and if youre some niche party who's hitching a ride on the two party system and youre using it because it's the only way youre ever going to get a chance at getting a chance at getting elected, I mean, it's not the greatest, but that's a flaw of the two-party system. Fucking change it.
I mean the strength of the two party system is that it puts a bunch of smaller groups into a cohesive in order to give the whole greater power, but you've also seen the downsides of doing that, after the 2016 election and all the SJW panic bullshit. Beholding someone to some bullshit is just chasing your tail.

You take that back. Richard Nixon won a presidential election pretty handily. Hillary's never managed that.

My sincerest apologies.
Also, had Nixon not gone bugfuck crazy and ordered the break-ins, he would've crushed McGovern anyway and held on to the presidency until '76, Agnew would've ridden his wave into '80, but who knows what after then. Would Reagan have run (and won)? The only Dem hopeful on the radar would've either been another Carter run or possibly Mondale. I can't think of another Democrat with the backing and stones to make the attempt. The current crop of shitheels were all too young or too radical or both. :thunkful:

Didn't the incriminating evidence about Nixon reveal that he didn't order the break ins, but knew about it long before he said he did and tried to cover it up?

That little would-be Salvador Allende is definitely a caraway seed in the bridgework of plenty of Democrats and the Republicans do not want him dislodged.
There's been a lot of back and forth about it, I mean, yeah there's no "hard" evidence but can I believe that in the middle of a fifth of Jim Beam he didn't mutter "God, someone should go over there and plant a bug in those cocksucker's offices! Spy on 'em! Make sure those commie faggots don't get up to something!"
You know, "Will no-one rid me of this meddlesome priest!" type affair.

Can you blame them? It's not like sending a communist to distract your enemies and take the heat off you has ever gone wrong in the past.

Yeah, the break-in itself was the work of wankers like G. Gordon Liddy. I suspect Nixon, for all his paranoia, would have shut that shit down.

Apparently, the corrupt scumbags of the DNC. They're so assblasted they're rigging the rules to make sure no candidate they don't completely own ever gets a shot at the nomination again.
I can think of one guy in particular.

They're fucking themselves hard doing that, too. Lack of competition breeds weakness.

Quite a few. Although Trump may have effectively eliminated them as an electoral concern yesterday by voicing his approval to eliminate marijuana as a Federal concern and leave it up to the states. By Election Day 2020 every Berniebro will be way too baked to even consider finding a polling place.

Oh I could see it going very wrong (I mean, I get what you're saying). For one, Hillary won't live forever (she'll bounce a check someday, right?) and the REEEing from the Bernie Left will become too loud for the Democrat establishment to ignore or they'll craft a "new" Bernie who takes all of his playbook minus the Larry David impression and buckling to BLM, package it up in a "young" (read: 50-51 year old) attractive package and suddenly the Republicans will be facing a red typhoon from the left. Then, be that in 2020 or 2024 we could wind up with a God-damned actual fucking Socialist-with-communist-leanings-dressed-up-as-a-Democrat in the White House which frankly fucking terrifies me.

It still wouldn't be a problem if not for all the executive overreach of Obama and Trump. The president by himself isn't supposed to be all that powerful.

You mean Perot, more Democrats in Florida swung their vote to Bush than voted Green in 2000. Nader was the DNC scapegoat for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory just like Sanders is today.

The "smoking gun" that sunk him was he, on tape (so it can't be denied), when informed some of his underlings got caught and would require potentially a million (1970's!) dollars in legal fees and hush money for the burglars to be defended in court AND not name who they worked for coolly replied "It (the money) can be gotten" not "Jesus what a bunch of fuckups, let em hang"
He didn't order the break in, but he did let his underlings run wild, and when they got caught, his first and unhesitating action was to whip out a checkbook, and that's what got him, raw complicancy after the fact meant he might as well have ordered it to start with.
And people ignore Pat Buchannan running in that election as well, so he should have "canceled out" any defection from Dem to Green as the hardcore Bible Bros would have also defected to Pat from the mainstream Republicans... but that wrecks the narrative, so you don't hear about it.

In terms of executive orders, Obama signed 276 in eight years. Trump is at 75 in a year. Bush Jr signed 291. Clinton 364. Bush Sr at 166. Reagan 381. Overreach is a bit tricky to define since the only people who can judge that are the courts, so I settle for executive orders. If, big if, Trump continues on his trend with EOs then he will sign more than Obama within one term.
EDIT: It strikes me though that Trump's EOs are more grandstanding than anything else. He had control of the house and senate for long enough that he could have rammed any legislation he wanted. So I don't know if he will continue the EO trend once they stop attracting attention.

Actually, Blue Fever is a pretty good name for it. It's the condition they'll have when they do shit in the Midterms!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is there even a socialist party? Also how hard would it be for Bernie to try to start one?
You do realize that a full half of both the house and senate members (of his own party) hate the absolute shit out of him right?
