Yes, which is why it's ridiculous to point at Sanders on this.

Note that he has actually voted against some of the subsidy bills in the past -- before he decided to run for Prez, of course.

I was speaking of farmers, not the Senator's legislative record. The joke, such as it was, was that an actual hard working farmer would hardly support a socialist like the Senator. no, the only "farmer" that might support a socialist is one who likes getting free handouts from the government rather than working.

"Great men are almost always bad men." Bonus points if you know the author and the much more famous quote that preceded it without looking it up.

They all suck because only narcissistic sociopaths would seek this job through our application process. Interestingly, Trump appears to be non-partisan. There is a study out now that shows his supporters' commonality is that they are authoritarian over all other traits, which I think most of us are not.

Regardless, if you think bookies know anything, he is the 2nd favorite at +375 after Hillary at -155. Bernie is now down to +570. Rubio is + 650. Everyone else is over 13-1 (Cruz). Hillary to me at -+155 is a bad risk. There are over 100 FBI agents investigating her on 2 or 3 fronts. They won't want to accept that it was a fruitless Bitchhunt (all marks and rights to me if no one else has coined this term first).

Those numbers all sound about right to me, as does the analysis on trump's supporters. No bets screaming out to be made here.

Those FBI agents have pretty much been on the job since Gingrich was speaker. Those that hate her think she's lurking behind every corner, probably hanging out under your bed ready to grab your gun. Those who don't just shrug at them. The interesting question is can anyone come up with a good commercial hitting her on investigations that won't backfire.

You should put a (tm) after Bitchhunt(tm). I'd suggest you get hank to register it and use the (r). I'd bet he'd even send out some letter for you trolling users. Think about registering a variation with just one h too.

Like Capone, she'll go down because of the money. I bet it'll be the "pay-to-play" money trail to the Clinton Foundation that is more likely to lead to her indictment, rather than her giveaway of top secret information to the Russians and Chinese.

While this is true, the current occupant of the White House does seem to be far less sucky than the recent options.

Like, Dems knew about Slick Willie's issues, and know about Hillary's, but choose to ignore them because politics.

But what scandal, shame, dirty dealing or crass political calculation can we put on Obama? I guess drones and Gitmo, but now we're talking about a failure to be as idealistic as we'd hoped, not selling out his political soul or anything.

There's all kinds of room to disagree with his policy choices, but he does not seem to be crook. And yet there's a huge swath of America that's outraged at his "tyranny."

I already have multiple long-standing bets that, come November, Hillary will not be the Dem candidate, she'll find some convenient reason to duck out (failing health, plea bargain, etc.) and someone else will step in at the last minute (a la Lautenberg jumping in when Torricelli bailed for ethics violations).

Let me get this straight:

You shot off your mouth about how Hillary will be indicted before the election. I called you on it, and asked if you were really willing to bet on that. Your response is that you already have other, similar bets out there, and I'm too late.

So, you expect me to believe that you are exercising restraint in connection with (1) gambling and (2) Hillary? Have you forgotten that I know you, both IRL and in LV?

I don't think Hillary will be indicted. She may deserve it, but it'd appear that a likely President is being deprived of office by choice of the AG.

Her health is iffy. She had a stroke a few years back. But so did Hugh Heffner... in 1986.

Biden could walk away with it. But man -- could you imagine how that would be read? "Obama, super-badass Putin style, offs Presidential Candidate he hates, putting his buddy in the office." (Obama could be the first President since Nixon to basically appoint the next one.)

And Biden should be the nominee. He's trustworthy and an actual statesman. I have nothing against Hillary or Bill (I'd vote for Bill if he could run tomorrow, and could see myself voting for Hillary as well). However, the voting public wants to see someone who isn't entirely full of shit. (I think Bernie caused this, which makes me love the man.) Trump is full of shit, but to many people, being crass is "keeping it real," and that's as good as being honest. Hillary's full of shit on almost everything and the absolute antithesis of "real." She'll have to get 80% of the female vote to beat him.

...Or Ted Cruz wins the GOP nod. In which case, I am looking into foreign citizenship.

She will not be indicted pre-nomination. If she gets it, she will not be indicted pre-election. Once she's elected, she will not get indicted because she will do an overhaul of all cabinet positions and ensure that endless administrative barriers are placed between any career prosecutor or investigator and an indictment. Every minute that passes, your prediction gets weaker.

(And if Bernie wins, she might not get indicted because, "Who gives a fuck? Hasn't she been punished enough for being a crooked piece of shit?")

Speaking of indictments, I'm pleased as punch at the Harris County grand jury who indicted those assholes yesterday for giving fake IDs to Planned Parenthood. I'm co-chairing the annual luncheon for that particular affiliate tomorrow. To say the room will be celebratory is an understatement.

I'm conflicted on this one. I like seeing those assholes get what's deserved. But I hate political indictments. Courts and prosecutors are already crooked enough the way it is.

I felt the same way about Ted Stevens, Tom Delay, Rostenkowski, Martha Stewart, etc. If the average guy wouldn't be indicted for doing something, nobody should be indicted for it.
