In reply to the discussion: as Nikki Finke would say "TOLD YA SO"... Jeb Bush mulling presidential bid [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)And you are wrong about Hillary's warmth.(interesting though that a new word is invented to be against hillary).
Crowds love her, she is very good in campaign mode
and people now have seen her speak about important issues whenever they see her.
Of course she should be mad at times at Bibi and the other world leaders. I am mad at them too.
And hey, have you seen Chris Christie and he whalloped a NJ resident last year making a comment about Chris eating an ice cream cone on the boardwalk. Christie almost waddled after him.
And warmth from Jeb?
(interesting though once the age issue is exposed(that Hillary and Warren are age buddies and fellow AARP and soon to be SS members), shifts in words occur.
Warmth?
Was GW Bush warm? Was Lincoln warm? Was Nixon warm? Was LBJ warm?Was Jimmy warm?
IN actuality, President Obama is great with a hug, but he himself is distant(like Lincoln was).
Hell, John the biggest fraud the USA ever knew was warm. Look where warm got you? Almost a heartbeat away from singlehandedly having the biggest scandal a VP would ever have had.
You see, likeable and warm are not synonymous. And warmth and being cold are two separate things too.
and Hillary when NY Senator, did just fine anyhow, when disasters happened, and she travelled to comfort people. I guess you don't remember that.
But no one can compare to Bill Clinton. He and Teddy were two of a kind there.
However, Hillary will have Bill side by side. So like President Obama knew, having Bill front and center was alot better than when Gore ran and shunned him.
(and Gore and Kerry were very warm people btw.)
and oh yeah, Reagan showed his warmth to the victims of AIDS in the early days.
and Bush,W showed his warmth to the victims of Katrina
and GW Bush's wife Barbara showed her warmth to the victims of Katrina
People want competency.
The loser in 2012 was not competent, and people saw through him. Mattered little if he was or was not warm.
BTW-as was shown by other posters on the Walmart thread, Walmart is not a make/break issue, because in many areas outside of say NYC/Los Angeles/Chicago, Walmart is all there is at this point, and millions of democrats need to buy stuff there and don't look at them as if it is bad.
We have the luxury in our area of 4 different supermarkets, countless drugstores, specialty stores to replace any item Walmart sells. But in lots of areas there is nothing for 50 miles.
(and I myself did not realize that til another esteemed poster mentioned it.)
As to Nafta? Well, it was a great idea, the repubs turned inside out and made to appear bad.
But we are one world, and we need better education and have to admit those jobs are not coming back,but others are there to equalize the shift.
It's 3am in the morning and I know who I would want as my President in 2016.
No, I surely did not in 2008 once Obama was running. But I sure hell do now.
The others don't come close
but at least we both agree, it must be a woman (and I would vote for anyone the Dems put up as winning 270 is the only thing I really care about).
Like Dr.Dyer said(c) don't sweat the small stuff, because it all is small stuff.
