Bankers v. Students………I wonder what the world's best senator thinks about this issue.
Half the battle is figuring out the difference between an actual offer to help repay our loans and offers that look like they want to help us but really just want to profit off of us.
My guess is that he doesn't much…
Biden is looking more and more like a candidate. My guess: he and Bernie team up and put the Biden-Sanders ticket on the field.
I can hear the solgan now: Septuagenarians for the Future!
Biden's a good guy who's generally well grounded, but before he was VP he was tied a bit too tightly to Delaware
constituentscorporations for my liking.You have to like the thought of a President who, as a Senator, consistently rode the train back home to Delaware though.
Chemicals, chickens and corporations! Isn't that the state slogan?
If we have to look for a not HRC, I think this could be a good time for Biden. I'm increasingly concerned that, if anything, she is less liked and less trusted than when she lost to Obama in 2008.Her negatives are way too high. I find myself hoping that something damaging enough to blow her out of the water comes out of this e-mail investigation ASAP while there's still time to go another route. I love Bernie but believe he's got a ceiling and, outside of New Hampshire, that ceiling isn't high enough. Three generations of my family feel the same way I do. We'll vote for her but we won't like it. Will enough of the shrinking middle do the same? I'm sick to death of the Clinton establishment hegemony but we appear to be stuck with it.
The email thing's as much of a non-starter as Benghazi. Today's AP story unintentionally shows just how lame the whole thing is. From the article:
The more I read, the more this sounds like the intelligence community trying to classify anything and everything they can possibly lay their hands on, all the way down to the address of the McDonald's where they buy their morning meals.
Too bad. Guess nothing's going to rid us of this troublesome Clinton.
Just a desperate thought…. could we look for a not HRC anyway? Uh-oh, I think I hear the roar of the Clinton/Establishment juggernaut bearing down on me….gotta run!
A bit too much of a War on Drugs architect for my own liking. Biden was part of a wave of Democrats and Republicans that unjustifiably put whole generations of minorities into prison.
Back then every Dem with any political ambitions had to jump on every tough on crime bandwagon to prove they weren't bleeding heart libs. The thing about politics is…. it's politics. Just like after 9/11 every Dem with serious presidential ambitions had to vote for Cheney/GW's war. Nobody ever got elected to high office by emulating Mother Teresa or Albert Schweitzer.
HRC had to vote for war because she was a woman with presidential ambitions and had to be extra tough. Not that she hasn't always been something of a hawk in any case and never had a problem with being hard as nails. Kerry was told by his advisers that if he voted against and it turned out to be the successful cakewalk Cheney promised it would be he could kiss his presidential aspirations goodbye. The story is he really struggled with it but, in the end, decided to play it the way his advisers told him to.
Nobody gets to the presidency without getting a little scuffed up along the way during their political rise. Nobody arrives in the WH pure as the altruistic driven snow. So, when push comes to shove, you have to pick among candidates who are all compromised one way or the other.
Certainly I'm not presuming to tell you to support Biden in spite of your of differences with him and everybody has different priorities that come into play when judging what and how much can be tolerated in a candidate they're still willing to support. Biden's quite along shot at this point anyway so it's probably moot.
For me, I'll support HRC if she's the only viable option and I suppose she is but it's going to require a lot more tolerance than I would need to muster in order to support Biden. I like Biden. I think he's a far finer human being on his worst day than HRC will ever be on her best.
I don't have to support Biden? Thanks, because I will never support–and probably never forgive–him for introducing such an un-American concept as a "Drug Czar," let alone for being an architect of racist mandatory minimum penalties that have overburdened our American prison system.
Fine by me. Like I said.
There's always the Al Gore option!
Not much of a bench this time around, is there. Guess the Clinton juggernaut made sure of that this time.
Interesting read from Mike Littwin at the Colorado Independent:
He's long been one of my favorite reads 🙂
Jeb Bush — an even bigger idiot than his brother?
Unbelievable!
The narrative that Jeb was the smart one may have been a tad exaggerated. Poor GHW. An honest to God Phi Beta Kappa with these lumps for sons, just like their dim mother. No wonder he so enjoyed hanging out with Rhodes Scholar Bill. Somebody he could have an interesting conversation with.
I've got it figured out! Marvin is the smart one! He stays out of the papers and out of politics, unlike any of his brothers,
I've always thought that.
Fun read on Neil and Marvin from 2006. Maybe it's just that the less said abut Marvin the better?

That is super creepy Bush background. High financial crimes, security cover-ups, insider trading, mysteriously run-over corpses….Malloy always used to call them the "Bush crime family." Not so far off, apparently. Walker Stapleton didn't fall far from the family tree.
