When black voters are brought up your opinion was:

Who cares, half of em are felons.

How can that be considered anything but racist?

It's racist to not care about putting effort into a demographic that either can't vote for you or most likely wont in any case?

That's not racist, that's allocating resources.

. While people of color make up about 30 percent of the United States’ population, they account for 60 percent of those imprisoned. The prison population grew by 700 percent from 1970 to 2005, a rate that is outpacing crime and population rates. The incarceration rates disproportionately impact men of color: 1 in every 15 African American men and 1 in every 36 Hispanic men are incarcerated in comparison to 1 in every 106 white men.

Its about 15 months until the election and you've got the GOP contenders calling each other "jackass" and "idiot," and you've got one of them calling the Senate majority leader, from his own party, a liar on the floor of the Senate.

Things are so toxic right now in the GOP that I think pretty much any centrist Dem can win the general almost by default.

No such thing as a centrist democrat. Your party has been stolen by your communist brethren.

Being reported Biden may be getting into Dem Primary.

I could see him getting the nomination for some reason. He has less baggage and is way more likable than Hillary. I think he would struggle to win a general election.

I would love to see Trump vs Biden. I could watch that debate all day. God knows what these two would say

Would depend on the GOP nominee.

I think GOP wins WH and Dems take back the Senate in 2016 unless the GOP nominates another terrible candidate as they did in 2008 and 2012.

If the GOP nominates a viable candidate I think they will win. I still think the Senate stays red by a couple of seats.

Biden's numbers reflect the sympathy people share for him regarding his lost son. He has no chance, but will run because he sees the opportunity with Hillary's campaign so badly sputtering.

He will because he is upset about Trump saying he is no war hero --- Trump instigated this to derail Hillarys 'sure thing' nomination, very smart of Trump

I missing something from your post.

Biden never served in the military.

Trump said McCain was no hero.

I always get those 2 mixed up for some reason -- maybe because neither does anything worth following :dunno:

If a strong Dem candidate would jump in Hillary would be history, imo.

Warner should go for it IMO. But he won't.

O'Malley is one to watch in the primaries because there is no hysteria around his candidacy or radical elements supporting him. He might make a sneaky run up the polls. Doubt it though.

I think even she could beat the GOP nominee, at this point.

In fact, she leads Bush by 4.6 points, Walker by 9, Rubio by 7.6, Paul by 4.4, Trump by 16.2, and Cruz by 8.5. (RCP poll averages).

And this is when she has been putting on really no affirmative campaign as of yet, just raising money and biding her time. No ads or anything yet. And this is despite all the email stuff.

She is actually losing in swing states and would lose the electoral college.

Certainly could be true. While I think global warming is a huge issue, my fear would be his campaign wouldn't be well rounded enough on the other issues.

I think the average democrat/independent likes Al Gore, though. Which I think would be enough to get the nomination, if he wanted it. I just don't think he wants to take the spotlight away from Hillary.

AL Gore is an absolute Joe Bidenesque idiot. But I agree with your statement.

Listening to the HHH morning show on my ride to work today. Interesting topic they're discussing. What would be 3 questions you would ask each candidate if you were the moderator of these debates?

Mine:

1.) What is your view on Global Warming and how will you address/combat it if you were elected President?

2.) What is your plan for ISIS in Iran and other middle eastern countries?

3.) What is your plan to fix our crumbling infrastructure while also not increasing the deficit?

I thought O'Malley was the likely person to "spark" and make a serious run, but that's not going to happen. Too many people blame him for his policing-policies while in Baltimore.
