British Expats - 2016 Election

Only a poster like that could EVER make me consider rooting for the Pats. After a very quick consideration there is no way to root for the Pats, so therefore Broncos by a controversial call.

When our Steelers couldn't beat the Broncos (thanks a million Vontaze Burfict and the thugs who play for the Bengals for injuring our best receiver and Big Ben), we, and just about everyone in the country outside of New England became Broncos fans.

Go Peyton!!

No.

I thought Palin would get a gig as a talk show host after her last go round. But I suppose it's her right to help the republican party avoid being taken seriously ever again.

Her future was wide open and she managed to get herself kicked off FOX ... KICKED OFF FOX?!?! She's blown every opportunity she's been given and now she's reduced to living off begged-for money. She reminds me of my white trash relatives who get their income tax return and go out and buy big screen TVs and designer handbags but forget to buy groceries and pay the light bill.

Bernie is squeaking ahead in Iowa and, oh, he just released what is possibly the best political ad of forever and is blowing up the internet. Whoops.

Cardinals. When a team goes from a mid west climate to a total desert a name change is in order. Cardinals should be say...roadrunners.

While we are at it the Los Angeles Lakers (Minneapolis lakers)Should be re-named the Smog Alert or the L.A.Jam.

Like we said in the 80's Run Jessie run. If Bernie doesn't beat the heir apparent then please, oh please run as an Independent, or socialist.

We were still in high school in the 80s so we weren't concerned with much more outside of smoking pot and chasing boys.

I note the comparison but there is really no comparison. Bernie is not Jesse (thank you Lord, thank you Jesus). Bernie greatest strength, and possibly greatest weakness, is his integrity. If he doesn't win fair and square, he won't use the nuclear option.

That's the case against the entire political system. Everybody knows it but there is too much invested for change to occur at this point.

Down to the finer point, since Bernie didn't start the race as an Independent, he's just not cynical enough to switch at the last minute.

Webb? The guy that bragged about killing people. Awesome.

Yes I would. He'd suck just as much as Trump or Carson. I'm not ideological. I'll vote for a Republican if they are more aligned with my views.

Webb and Mancin should switch parties and complete the total polarization between the Republicans and the Democrats. They would both be welcome, and Mancin could get a pretty good chairmanship. JFK would have run as a Republican.

On a strictly political basis it's getting scary similar to Belfast during the Troubles, only on a nationwide scale. The alienation is getting deeper and deeper. It's even splitting families.
