Are Democrats Setting Up for a 2016 Biden/Warren Ticket?

eh; I hope not. (biden seriously running for office)



Clinton will be bad enough, but at least she won't be weak in getting some left-leaning policies passed. Obama compromised with the right wing more than he should have, and fumbled so much it was awkward to watch.



Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, are a good set of choices, they're progressive, and more importantly they have a spine.

Kucinich would be a good choice somewhere in this as well, as would several other progressive politicians (who aren't pseudo-progressives like Obama/clinton)

The real problem with a Sanders/ Warren ticket would be their apparent integrety.
Of all the current nationally known politicians, I think these two would be the best combination for our country.
Which is the number one reason they would not be allowed to run; or atleast take office if they won.

exactly;

they'll be cast as "leftist/socialist radicals" by the mainstream media, that is if they aren't ignored outright. (see ron paul).

If worst comes to worst (in terms of media attention) I see right-wing news networks babbling on about the whole "ethnic background" thing, calling it a lie and using it as the only insult they can to her character. (in addition to the usualy "liberal", "socialist", "baby eating progressive")

It just can't be Clinton, because I can't take 2 years of benghazi talk.

The problem with that is nothing will happen and it will distract from all policy issues.

Whatever happened to her tales of landing in Sariavo and ducking for cover as they crossed the tarmac?
I guess that fell by the wayside in 2008.

There has been a pattern the past couple election cycles, IMHO ,that republicans run a truly awful candidate (or an awful running mate) and then people find it impossible to vote for them. Not that Obama was a great leader either, but I think Obama's "victories" were not so much victories as that people were voting against Mccain and Romney because the thought of them and their respective running mates in control was intolerable. So it almost doesn't matter who the dems run if the GOP again runs a couple of un-electable candidates. P.S. I would sit this election out if either Biden or Hillary is the best the democratic party can come up with. Unless of course, the GOP ran a decent candidate. I am not holding my breath.

A man that excels at making a fool of himself and a woman that can't even tell the truth about her heritage.

Yup !! that's a Democratic ticket alright.

Hillary suffered a mini-stroke and had to be hospitalized at just the prospects of testifying about Benghazi. Not Presidential material at all...

I don't agree with Democrats ideology. But Kucinich would be the best option in that bunch. He is the only one that knows the Feds is a fraud.

This same thing can be seen through the past forty years or so.
Take a look back to the elections of Nixon and you will find pretty much the same thing regardless of the winner of the election.

Look closely at their opponents.

Its almost like someone was picking the tickets of both parties and deciding who would win in advance.

I hope this comes to be just so I can get an "Injun + Joe 2016" t-shirt.

It's not offensive since she's just self-proclaimed "injun."

I saw the best presidential pairing yet and poster.

Tyson and Nye 2016! There we go!

While the nominees of both political parties are of course determined by powerful interests extraneous to the parties themselves—which specific party will end up winning a given election really comes down to one single factor:

Whoever does a better job of tampering with the:
electronic ballot scripts, in the case of DREs†
or the Audit Logs from the Central Tabulators, in the case of both DREs and digital ballot-scanners‡


(†) DRE => Direct-Recording Electronic voting machines.

(‡) To the extent that the technically-minded reader may be desiring of more insight with regards to the machinations involved in such garden-variety election fraud: I will just toss out the example of the hypothetical electoral subversion of a mid-sized metropolitan statistical region of medium strategic-importance; which uses the very common ES&S Premier Election Systems, “Diebold” hardware.

Now, in this case, you will need approximately $100k (cash or check is fine). You will hand said payment to the person who will be responsible for seeing that the following three things get replaced/overwritten:

1. the election's AccuBasic (‘ABasic’) script file
   ***HINT*** it has a file extension of “.abs”
   
2. The .abs file's corresponding compiled object file
   ***HINT*** it has a file extension of “.abo”
   
3. The “abasic.ini” file.
   
   
   Repeat as necessary in swing states and …
   Last but not least,
   don't forget to act surprised when they announce the tabulated results!
