...I was thinking someone would list HRC under the "What am I missing" tab, given the obvious hatred being displayed here toward her.

They are the most likely to be elected and they both scare me for the same and different reasons.

even more depressing is the knowledge that, no matter which of these fuckwits gets the R nod, he (or she) will get at least 40% of the popular vote, give or take.

But I am not so sure that among the oligarchs, putting the house of Koch in control of the Landsraad is something they really want to do.

The house of Bush has manifest an interest and it seems likely to me that run will be supported by the big money in SW Asia. Their play pushing tar-sands out of the market is at odds with the Kochs and the puppet Walker.

It is known with the other clowns will do if they become POTUS, however HRC is unpredictable in what she does and will disappoint liberal and progressives regularly but make Wall Street and the HRC Fan Boys and Girls very, very happy.

Personally I do not trust her on anything but Social issues, anything else she is untrustworthy.

I refuse to be responsible for her election. The way I see it America will still be just as screwed economically if HRC or GOP are the only choices. If that is what America wants, oh well at least I can say I was not responsible for it.

I think they all share the same brain. It would explain why so many of them seem to be so incoherent one minute and then raging the next, then of course there are those more common incoherent rages we have come to know and love.

The choices for worst are almost equally bad and I can't decide. Walker is in the lead and he might well be the most dangerous since the Kochs would have a purchase in their pocket.

Only because he is so damn stupid, I'm afraid of what he might accidentally do.

Imo, there are reasons to fear the others, but, thankfully, we do have checks on the president.
