The Nightmare after Christmas: Clinton v Bush

Sometime in the tender months of 2015, Clinton and Bush will announce their candidacies for the President. Clinton is already the frontrunner for the democratic nomination and Bush will immediately become the frontrunner for republicans. Don't let the objections of tea party types fool you, if he runs, he'll likely get it, just as objections from some of us on the left, are unlikely to translate into the nomination of another democrat.

Clinton v Bush. What a country.

Hillary appoint Supreme Court justices or Jeb?

Looking at the SC appointments made under the bush's verses the appointments made by Bill Clinton should give a hint.

There is a strong probability that there will be at least one SC appointment for the next president, and if the vacancy is from the group who were appointed by the Democrats, you can be assured that a women's right to choose will overturned, along with many issues of civil rights, and those decisions will be sealed for the next 20 years

3. Excellent question

Since on one post here there are a lot of posters saying the would NOT vote for Hillary if she won the nomination, this question is a very important thing to consider, along with many other reasons why Jeb, or any other republican for that matter, should NOT get into the WH.

2016 will be make or break election, if republicans get into the WH, we go back to the George W. Bush years, which is something that no liberal, progressive or democrat in their right mind should ever want to happen. Vote for whoever you want in the primaries, but once that is decided, then it would be insanity to not vote for the winner, no matter who they are, instead of taking a chance a republican will be the one appointing judges, and destroy our country once again.

Those who won't vote for the democratic nominee are really not concerned about the consequences, no matter what they may say.

Thanks for the post.

Goldman Sachs and War Inc, too. The rest of humanity, not so much.
