***Official Political Discussion Thread***

I have on the state office and local level... More so local than the state... But I'm also in NY, our Republicans are not the Republicans of the national party for the most part.

For congressional or national level... Absolutely not.

What makes you say this?

 

[essential1]

Republicans at a state and local level are far closer to the center typically in NY than they are in national politics.

The Jeb Bush gaf train keeps on chugging along.

His brother at the site of the twins towers after 9/11

This dude doesn't do himself any favors

 

[bravo]

Am I the only one who groups anyone praising Reagan as most likely a sws?

On a specific policy, depending on the policy, nah.

Looking at his entire body of work, yep.

I don't even like the term "sws". But Reagan was poison to this country pure and simple, and is a pioneer in the field of modern systemic racism.

His racist dog whistle game was off the charts

you don't give nixon much credit

 

[RustyShackleford]

you don't give nixon much credit

They like Magic and Bird doe.

Not really about how is better at their craft. More about which one you liked (in this case despise) most

But I comfortably give the edge to Reagan on the race issue

the only one a saw mention reagan was jeb, i saw him do it twice...but i may have missed the others (some of the intros)

9/11 and Katrina solidified Dubya's presidency, if there's anything we remember from it in the future, it'd be those two events

 

[RustyShackleford]

^^^ You forgot the Iraq War brah

I think that is Duyba's magnum opus

 

[green rhino123]

which iraq war & which bush tho? you'll have to be specific

 

[dathbgboy]

which iraq war & which bush tho? you'll have to be specific

He's got a point RustyShackleford But we're talking about Dubya in this case, not Herbert Walker

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Absolutely amazing how far Trump is getting without providing detail on anything. A high school government student could provide more intelligent responses.

Also, Ben Carson comes off sounding really weak, like he's not comfortable speaking publicly. I have no clue what people see in him or his policies

 

[RustyShackleford]

which iraq war & which bush tho? you'll have to be specific

You got be here brah

But I did say Dubya

 

[green rhino123]

i know you did, would have given emoticon with tongue out but it would be inappropriate due to the subject matter

 

[bakajin]

How the CNN Debate was like the 1995 Source Awards Show

And Trump was Shug Knight.

No one was Craig Mack

 

[esydc]

I lol'ed at Trump telling Paul to G.T.F.O

 

[nomnom]

The first Dem debate seems like a year away tbh

Cant wait until October 13

 

[dathbgboy]

Won't be as entertaining, which will speak volumes to the public. The GOP debates are like high school debates or debating w/ your boys about which NBA team had a better run. The Democratic debate will hopefully address the issues that we want to hear about......Question though, who picks the questions to ask at these debates?

Pretty sure its the network that's airing the debate

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Anyone else find Mike Huckabee super entertaining?

Damn Jeb that's pretty sad. Hillary had the same problem today, couldn't fill a room at a liberal college campus. These two candidates have zero enthusiasm behind them.
