I like Al Franken most right now but I'm sure that'll change 50 times by 2019

 

al franken for president?
i know you hate trump probably at least as much as i loathed BO but tell me you are joking on this one
even if you aren't it was a good chuckle

 

Al Franken is one of the Dems that has been rumored as a possibility. If the Dems are running against Trump in 2020, Franken might actually be a great counter. Fight pseudo-celeb with pseudo-celeb. But at the rate Trump is going, there's a good chance he doesn't make it to 2020.

With Trump in office it's amazing how many people sound like good choices.

 

I actually like people like Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer, but part of the problem for Hillary was getting the "anti-establishment" middle-America vote. Franken could possibly bridge that gap as an "outsider". I'd also look to Dems not from deep blue states.

Personally, I see Franken as someone who could beat Trump but he wouldn't be my first choice - although he is good enough, smart enough, and gosh darn it people like him.

 

Im down for Cory Booker in 2020.
Need more niggas in office

Plus he has solid views and appears to be relatively moderate

inbefore wow...racist

 

Al Franken? Really?
He would be a first...an Ashkenazi Jew ethnic background. Didn't work for Bernie, and the Dems themselves are the ones that torpedoed him, led by Wasserman-Schultz.
People don't even use this as a reason, but I think it is a valid consideration and probably engineered principally by the Jewish themselves. It's like a wink, wink thing resulting in "nice try, but that's the way the motzah bounces". Very sad, yes...but true.
Same for Schumer, and by that time, a NY born candidate like Trump may be on the quarantine list for a long time.
A Jewish mayor may fly quite well in NYC and Chicago, but IDK about the flyover states in a presidential election. I think the record bears me out.
Just my tuppence as I look at the complexities of American prejudices.
To deny it all exists is sheer folly.

 

At least we all like the same baseball team. That's cool

 

Cory Booker is a sell out to the healthcare industry, and has routinely cozied up to some of the most disgusting people on the right when it was politically advantageous to do so. He'd be so easy to disparage as being another Hillary "do whatever it takes to win" politician. We need a true far left liberal IMO, to invigorate the base and young voters. Going further and further right every election was a problem.

 

You feel that your base needs to be" invigorated"? A commie is pretty far left isn't it? Don't get it....
I mean violent protesting, arson and property destruction galore...any more "invigorated" and what's next...armed insurrection then?
Especially since as we were assured, it was all done by passionate students, and not paid professional agitators.

 

I've only been to one protest so far, but yeah, my check from Soros was pretty fat. Really helping me pay off this mountain of student loans I have thanks to being the first generation in American history to have more debt and less personal income than the two generations before us. At least we have huge tax cuts on billionaires to look forwards to!

 

Good...I'm glad the old Nazi lover is helping you out...buono fortuna.
Part of your education that you're unfortunately paying for ( and will be well into your life, evidently) has you
actually believing that was all innocent, upset kids doing that? Lol. Just like you were in your one time? C' mon, now....
I never said Soros, you did...but if you feel so badly for yourself, as it appears you obviously do, be smart...let the govt. foot the bill...food, clothing, education, shelter, etc., for a few years--or longer!
Join the Marines. Army. Navy.
Guess each generation's young people have to deal with some vile, unfair shit...guess this is yours.

 

I have this weird issue where I only believe people when their claims are backed with tangible facts. Obviously I'm in the minority in this current America.

But do tell, what does globally respected and trusted media giant Infowars have to say about it?

 

Your perception seems altered by your plight as a person suffering under the yolk and heavy burden of a school loan. As an individual with compassion and deepest understanding of your personal oppression, I will say that I believe that you are "invigorated" as young voters and your base needs to be.
It's all clear sailing from here...just wait for four years, then go at it.

 

how predictable that a woman wears a pro trump dress and people like steven asshole smith come straight out and call her a silver spoon coon
not to mention death threats
for daring to show she isn't in lockstep
all class and can you imagine if a BO supporter was criticized, let alone racially slammed for supporting BO
yeah neither can i
the hypocrisy is not only palpable its thick

 

Imagine if Hillary's NSA resigned in 3 and a half weeks because he was compromised by the Russians?! And you're a guy who bragged pre-election about being bipartisan.

What a mess these three weeks have been. It's getting legitimately frightening to watch the news.

 

and its literally amusing to watch the hysteria and frightening to watch the fascism of the left
and you were the one guy who said my record of voting meant nothing even though its an honest past
i don't blame anyone for seeing the flaws in this man because they are glaring
did i hear trump took a shit in the east wing? FUCK ALL lets riot!
you know what flynn lied and he should resign
tell me why susan rice lied on national television and the left said nothing?
do you think she should have resigned?
probably not because you would make excuses for why Americans were left to DIE
does the thought of what it means to fight for what you think is right and be left behind must be like?
those were US soldiers and there were 13 hours....
how do you answer for that if you are so angry about this?
i see the same thing you and everyone else see in his shortcomings
i just think that underneath his fragile ego he is taking our best interests as a country in mind
you said it its 3 and a half weeks...how about taking a deep breath and finding your center?
i know we don't agree brother but lets be honest
nah its cool
your side has the moral high ground go ahead and by all means necessary
be proud of the fact that milo was shut down w fire and hate
hate speech = when others don't agree with your opinion
tell me again what the meaning of that speech is
i prefer a land of possibility and not a land of polarization for my kids and their families
i have respect for you and your opinion even though i don't agree
you don't have the same for me lets be honest

 

FWIW, the tweet you are referring to is Stephen B Smith, not Stephen A Smith. Who is Stephen B Smith? Why do you always cherry pick the few people who take it too far as being representative of the left?
