Democratic Candidates for POTUS, 2016 edition

Vox is so bad
it makes me mad.
Support Clinton abuse
for policies you choose?
Thankfully this breakdown
is also a takedown.
Vox's quote cavalier
should inspire fear:

"Presidential power is, in part, a question of laws. There are some things the executive branch can do and others that it can't. But to an extent that's often not sufficiently appreciated, it's largely a question of norms (legally speaking, after all, the president could have his or her team do basically anything, up to and including murder people, and then pardon them) rather than statutory text."
 
The "Machiavelli had it right" defense of Hillary Clinton.


Now, I love the words of Machiavelli, but I'm surprised to see his theories used to talk up an American candidate for President in 2015.
 
Say what you will about their politics, every president in my lifetime have been good dudes.

BKF Batsignal.......

BTW - I agree with this. Will not agree if we elect Hillary. She is a complete phony. Hope we elect Biden out of the current crop of Dems. Most qualified, most moderate, and best leadership qualities. Plus he is hilariously funny.
 
Biden is the only possible good dude president from either side except Webb.

Bernie is a good guy, though I disagree with his politics. Agree about Webb, and MOM is pond scum FWIW. And I don't think Jeb is a bad person, just a bad candidate. And Ben Carson, as crazy as he is, has had a remarkable career and doesn't seem like a bad guy. He's just scary because he believes the unfiltered things he says.

I was using "good dude" as far as someone you'd want to hang out with. For me, that's just Biden and Webb. You'd think Rubio would be one, but he's real stiff for a younger guy.

Pretty sure he was a Ford baby, like me.

Yep. The last few months of his administration at least.
 
Rubio went on Kentucky Sports radio a few weeks ago and he seemed like a pretty chill bro. Reminded me of a Christian-y frat guy, kind of boring and straight laced, but you could shoot the shit with him about football at a barbecue.
 
i couldn't give two shits about whether or not I'd like to have a beer with the president
 
Rubio is buds with Pitbull. Not good.

I would hang with Chris Christie, I bet he's entertaining.

Ah, I get it. While I agree with ITC and DV7, yeah, Biden is probably the only 1 of the bunch who is having a beer with worthy. He'd probably be calling you a butt buddy by the 2nd beer, and you wouldn't get in a word edgewise, but he does come across as a good guy.
