Why do they like the Bush people

Foreign policy is over-rated by the media. Obama pummeled McCain into the ground in 2008 yet McCains biggest strength was foreign policy and Obama had zero foregn policy experience.
The only aspect of foreign policy that is factor is Israel. In America, every politician must pay hommage to Israel and quite literally face the Mountains of Jerusalem. Hillary can do that easily.

As far as Hillary having too much baggage, I am sorry but Democrats have no other choice. Whom else will they vote for? Biden (too gaffe prone), Bernie sanders (no personality), O'Malley (Nobody knows him). Elizabeth Warren( poor campaigner and no personality). The only hope for a real challenger is if Al Gore comes back which was being rumoured a few weeks back.

@Alba, I think Elizabeth Warren can challenge Hillary, she is smart, passionate about the stuff she cares about and she comes out more authentic than Hillary. Unfortunately she is not running at therefore Hilary has this. Other than that agree with your argument.

@TAZ, your Friend is probably very uninformed about politics. I personally like Jeb Bush, I think he is the only GOPier who can beat Hillary, he has two problems however.

1) He might not win GOP primary because of the crazy fring of Republican party including social conservartives and tea party folks. He is at the center is many key issues including immigration and social issues, good candidate for general election but not good for republican primary

2) He might be force to move too far to the right to win the primary and then have to pivot back to the center for general election. That's what happened to Romney in 2012, it's called flip flop in American politics it's a career killer.

In general, alotof things are working against any potential republican candidate, the biggest one being demographic shift; as a matter of fact GOP is in a brick of extinction because the voters are getting; Younger, more liberal, pro choice, anti-war, non religious and more diversed. Things that won elections in 2000s like national security/ projecting military power is non start now. Now social conservatives/ religous platforms that controlled American politics for over a century are now percieved as crazy if you run on those platform. GOP have a bigger battle than Hillary and Democratic party; they have a battle of idiology.

@Alph. Not on the current deal.

Care to tell me why/what Bibi was doing in the US Congress just before the elections? Wouldn't the Jewish nation be knowing more than you and I?


Conspiracy theories save for another day another thread.

@Rollout
I would really like to see Warren in the primary so she can be battle tested. I am not sure the Massachusetts senate run tested her because she ran unopposed in the Democratic primary and the general election was just hers for the taking. If she beats Clinton in debates and if she proves to be a good campaigner, people will jump on her bandwagon.

Unfortunately right now she has not proven anything yet. Obama dove in and convinced everyone in 2008 against tall odds. But Obama was already a sensation since he gave the speech in 2004 democratic convention.

Sasa Warren kazi kwako. Its a very tall order though. I do not see Democrats denying Billary Clintons twice.
