In theory, there’s no automatic slot for the incumbent President. I think primaries are still technically held, although they are very low turnout. The problem is that Republican voters are still overwhelmingly behind Trump, and to the extent that that support starts slipping, I feel like impeachment is more likely

Can a president be primaried out like other elected officials? Since all these republicans still want the position and the current admin has pissed off some major states, it would be interesting to see 3 realistic candidates. DNC, RNC, and incumbent that would possibly run as independent. Anyway, I would imagine it

The way I see it is that a persons emotional intelligence is directly correlated with their sense of humor.

I don’t envy the women who are out there trying to meet people in this sea of sharks.

“Tahoe has lots of outdoors stuff so that’s cool”

My guess is nothing to write about since listening to him talk is like watching paint dry.

Her tweet is literally from today, saying she’s fine, so I think we can assume that’s true.

thank you. As someone who’s had to discipline and fire sexual harassers and inappropriate people int eh workplace and has also been harassed herself, I really appreciate this. Everyone comes down harder on HRC b/c they just do, but what she did ten years ago is actually miles ahead of what most other employers were

Personally I’m not bothered by the fact she didn’t fire him as much as I am that she kept this creep as her spiritual advisor (seems he needs a little help before advising others) and is still buddies with him posing for photos and hanging out with him as recently as last October.

We would not have Scott Fucking Pruitt as head of the EPA and we would still be in the Paris Climate Accord. We would not have just raised prices on solar panels in an attempt to strangle green energy. Puerto Rico would be getting some useful fucking assistance, farm animals would not be facing rollbacks of the meger

Oh, come on. You know that if she didn’t respond, people would’ve written op-eds being like, “Why hasn’t Hillary responded? Does she endorse sexual harassment?” Everything Hillary Clinton does and does not do is news and has been since at least 1992.

I did research on workplace sexual harassment in law school. I’m hardly an expert, but a lot of my research showed that a reason some victims do not come forward is that they do not actually want to ruin their harasser’s life and get him fired. For some victims, they want a more restorative approach (counselling,

Except if she did not say anything the media would pretend that her not responding should be news. They would probably put up a clock ticking off how long it has been without her responding.

Except she could have not said anything. Her choosing to respond is news.

Can we stop with the Clinton shit. She is no longer news. She is not the president. She is not actively destroying our country. She is a flawed person who has made a fair amount of stupid decisions in her life. She has also been attacked relentlessly for her mistakes. And also for everything else she has ever done. It

Shit like this makes me wonder if we really would have been better off with her in office.

If Hillary was President right now, DACA would still be in place.

She wouldn’t have been great or maybe even good, but I can think of very few public names that would be as bad or worse than what we have. Everyone says Pence would be as bad but I doubt he’d start shit with North Korea just to prove a point.

Rest assured, things would be better than they are now. We’d have the same problems we did under Obama, and boy we all wish we could go back to then.

Yes, it would have been better.
