Can't Trump find a younger better looking politician for the job? Newton would understand.

That's the problem. Trump would never pick anybody younger or better looking. That eliminates 99% of the population.

Re: 2016 Election
If Clinton had won the nomination in 2008, I can't say for sure that I would have voted for her. Obama was my candidate and I felt very strongly (and was very idealistic) about the prospect of his presidency. I don't know exactly how Bernie's people feel but I think I have some idea because I was similarly caught up in the Obama phenomena. Fortunately, things worked out for my candidate. If things hadn't worked out, I don't know if anybody could have reasoned me out of that mindset but they sure as hell could not have bullied or insulted me into voting for Hillary. I wasn't a millennial or a hipster either, I was a fortyish white lady living in a red state.
Paradoxically, I was more supportive of Clinton in 2008 because I didn't believe Obama could do any of the things he promised because he was naive of how Congress worked.

Right. I also don't recall that there was a similar level of angst towards Clinton's PUMAs who refused to vote for Obama, some of whom went on to support McCain instead.

Karma is a bitch. In my mind, there was no daylight between Clinton and McCain. Both being frikkin hawks as well as career politicians.

I can't tell if he's serious or not.

Corker was at a ring kissing session yesterday so he probably got a front row leering of Ivanka. Gross.

Re: 2016 Election
The PUMAs got a bunch of shit from Obama's surrogates but he managed to stay above the fray. I think Hillary is trying to use the same playbook with Sanders but word on the street is that she is highly pissed off with Bernie. Karma is a bitch.

It's very amusing to see all these politicians completely confused that Sanders cares more about improving people's lives than his personal gain.

EDIT: I only say this because I'm afraid Bernie is losing his moment.

Re: 2016 Election
Agreed. I admire him for his commitment to fairness for all...and because he is a decent man...but am a bit dismayed at his foot dragging when what is needed is a dedication to defeating Trump.
