WHAT the hell FOR?
Have we been assaulted by CANADA?
Actually they would HAVE to seal the borders if they wanted an IRON CLAD martial law for another draft.
Now that women are being groomed for combat slots...

Scott Walker is so funny, trying to "keep up with" the Donald! I just caught the end of a story yesterday on TV about the other candidates trying to compete with him. It was a Twitter post or something that read:
"I want Donald to announce that he has eaten 1000 bees, just so I can see Scott Walker stuffing his mouth with bees!"
LOL!

Biden should not run.
A VP needs to start his campaigning while "In Office". Biden has done nothing to establish himself as the successor.
I like the guy. But, I don't really know who he is.
“But even with a wave of initial good will at his back for a 2016 campaign, Biden would face long historical odds in winning the White House from his current political perch,” Mr. Ostermeier said.
His research reveals this: “Just two sitting vice presidents have been elected to the presidency across nine attempts in the modern two-party era since 1828 and only one over the last 175 years.”
The pair of sitting VPs elected president before the ratification of the 12th Amendment were John Adams in 1796 and Thomas Jefferson in 1800. “Thereafter nine have ventured a presidential bid from their perch as vice president with only two doing so successfully - Democrat Martin Van Buren in 1836 and Republican George H.W. Bush in 1988,” the professor says.
Seven other sitting VPs launched failed presidential campaigns. Three lost their party’s nomination: Republican Charles Fairbanks in 1908, Democrat John Nance Garner in 1940, and Alben Barkley in 1952. Four lost in the general election (Southern Democrat John Breckinridge in 1860, Republican Richard Nixon in 1960, Democrat Hubert Humphrey in 1968, and Democrat Al Gore in 2000).
“In addition to the seven failed bids by sitting vice presidents mentioned above, five others received modest to nominal support for president at nominating conventions, although they did not officially launch candidacies for the office: Democrat George Dallas in 1848 (three delegates), Democrat Adlai Stevenson in 1896 (10), Democrat Thomas Marshall in 1920 (37), Republican Charles Dawes in 1928 (four), and Democrat Walter Mondale in 1980 (one),” the research says.

It would be helpful for keeping american refugees from flooding Canada a lot more when the crunch comes.
It would be nice to stem the flow of hard drugs out of the States too.
