    You couldn't be more wrong. It's hilarious you think that, actually. You use the EXACT logic of Hillary Dems who thought they'd clean Trump's clock.

    Can I suggest, maybe J. Fred Muggs for the leader of the Democratic Party?

    He knows more about running a country and is more intelligent than any of the other candidates. He also knows more about economics.

    Abortions are 100 percent designed to take the life of an innocent.

    Many do not wish murders to get executed, yet do not mind the death to the child.

    I have to admit.....
    that I believe that the concept of "situation ethics" has at least some validity.......
    Yes.... I am worried that my leanings in that direction are not pleasing to
    Messiah Yeshua - Jesus - Issa...... and yes....... I do still pray about this but.....
    if Mr. Mitt Romney had been elected President of the USA in November of 2012 I do believe that
    even he........ even though he is an extremely ethical person..... .he would not have attempted to
    prevent one hundred percent of abortions because we have an obligation to
    allow human beings at least some artistic freedom in how they play out their role
    here under the sun??!!

    Dennis, you don't merely serve a snack, you put forth breakfast, lunch and the evening meal plus those snacks.

    I don't know how many here believe in contact between the NDE and GOD or his messengers, but I do accept we all can have a NDE.

    And what is wonderful, even non believers have them as well.

    I am digesting your posts, your commentary to various officials and give me more time and I shall make more comments.

    Today, I share this with all posters.

    Corey Booker is someone who could potentially destroy Trump in 2020.

    That said, it all depends on how Trump does. If he fails miserably, pretty much anyone on that list can defeat him in 2020.

    Then again, I'm still not convinced 74 year old Trump is going to run again in 2020. We may see a different GOP candidate, IMO.

    It's really a tossup between Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Joe Biden.

    Joe Biden has the charm
    Elizabeth Warren is the progressive darling, and speaks with passion
    Bernie Sanders has the millennials momentum, the same momentum that got Obama elected twice

    But Michelle Obama has that charm, is black, and a woman. Not that the latter two are a reason to vote for her, but I believe she would have a fighting chance.

    Bernie Sanders has a better chance of playing football for the New York Jets than he ever will for President.

    Is he a straight, white man?
    That is what the Democratic Party needs.
    Their avoidance of straight, white men has come back to haunt them 2016!

    People are jumping the gun, IMO. Before the GOP primaries, everyone thought Jeb Bush or another establishment candidate was going to be the GOP nominee. Then came the race baiting reality T.V. star who managed to slime his way to the nomination and presidency.

    So who knows who will be the Dem nominee in 2020. If Trump ends up being a lousy president, then the Dems will probably take back the white house in 2020. After three 2 terms presidents in a row...we may be actually due for a one term president VERY soon.

    No!
    Because the American voter has become cowardly. Better the devil y'know.

    Three 2 term Presidents has not been witnessed since Jefferson, Madison, Monroe.
    But, they had "quality".
    Three 2 term mediocre presidents is the product of cowardice. :rant:

    Could be that, or maybe it's because the alternatives were perceived as worse.

    Bernie Sanders is the best person to lead the Democratic Party.

    But, the best candidate for 2020 may be Senator Al Franken of Minnesota.
    Good, Midwestern Progressive as opposed to egg head Liberal.

    Franken also a good choice because of his :flagcanada: experience

    I have truly high expectations of
    the final policies and initiatives that
    President Donald Trump will put forward but.....

    I have to admit that Mr. Al Franken, if he was
    chosen to lead the Democrats,
    would likely make American politics much more
    fun......

    and enjoyable for the rest of the world to observe!

    Which brings me to my third nomination for somebody who the DNC should seriously consider.

    He probably won't do it........ but it would be astonishing what this man could accomplish if he were willing to toss his hat into the next Democratic Party Leadership race.

    Seriously...... what would you say if this man mentioned in post #43 could be convinced to enter the DNC leadership race?

    AA......
    He has serious potential........

    http://www.politicalforum.com/opini...-us-set-him-up-office-potus-early-2016-a.html
    Should AboveAlpha allow us to set him up for the office of POTUS as early as 2016?



    His analysis of climate change is the most concise.....
    and in my opinion most accurate.....
    summary of the probable effects of climate change over the next century or so that I have read since beginning to research this complex topic back in 2007.


    http://www.politicalforum.com/envir...long-term-effects-climate-change-logical.html



    Is this analysis of the probable long term effects of climate change logical?



    I believe that the following statements are logical and accurate!

    I think that we desperately need to make some serious changes.

    No...... he is the only person who can write at the level that he writes at on so many topics.

    He is an Einstein level genius with a depth of experience that gives him an overview of what is happening on the earth that is unlike any commentator that I have ever read anything by.

    He made it clear that Mr. Donald Trump was NOT .... the type of candidate that he wanted to see running for the G. O. P .... and he also made it clear that he was seriously unimpressed with Hillary.........

    This actually sets him up nicely to be grabbed by the Dems..... and I do think that he might be tempted........ if the enthusiasm from fellow posters here was significant......

    Personally, I think out of this lot, Cory Booker is the best to be honest. I don't mind people like Biden and Warren, but the winner right now is Bernie Sanders and I personally think he's a naïve fool when it comes to the way the country is run and thus he attracts the support of a bunch of whining, angsty teenagers. Take it as the opposite of Trump, neither of which are good for this country. But I'd rather see some people like John McCain get in office (without the Palin)
