Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Of course there is no question Braun is a drug cheat. He admitted as much. One real question is why it matters to you given that you claim every good player in the steroid era used. Another real question is why you are posting it on a politics thread. I know some of you are desperate to take potshots at me, but could you at least make a somewhat relevant statement when you do so? Seriously guys. Start a Braun thread. I promise to come play there.

 

Trump's wife and mistress had a screaming match at a ski resort. I've always found the "once a cheater, always a cheater" holds pretty true.

 

NY Times: Kasich is really a dick

Lots of people politicians change their persona to appeal to voters. But a lot of guys mellow in their 50s and 60s too. So who knows.

 

When my dad got into his 50s I almost started to miss what a hardass he could be when I was younger. Almost.

 

What happens if Hillary wins the nomination and invites Sanders to the ticket?

 

Not gonna happen. No way, no how. She's going to pick a younger male, maybe Hispanic, more likely Anglo.

 

She wouldn't do it; he wouldn't want it.

As VP, Sanders would be restricted basically to a mouthpiece for whatever Team Hill wanted him to say; in the Senate, he still holds a fairly prominent independent platform. It's highly possible control of the Senate may come down to a margin of 1 or 2, so Sanders could have quite a lot of leverage in terms of blocking stuff he really hates (although it's far-fetched to see him supporting virtually anything pushed by the teabag party).

As Gee observes, most likely she will go with a much younger VP pick. I'd say one of the Castros but Trump will make the GOP so radioactive to Latinos the Dems won't need to curry their favor.

Similarly, Trump's sheer repulsiveness to women and African-Americans make it unlikely Hillary will feel any need to 'nail down' those groups. The group she needs to shore up support in is white males. No veep pick is going to magically boost HRC to 70% among white males; all she's looking for is someone who might boost her from 38% to 43%.

The Dems won't want to risk a Senate seat or a current governorship on the veep seat, either.

 

Fidel or Raul?
