If the Democratic Party holds the Senate through 2016

[Leme]

It won't matter which Democrat we elect President in 2016. It won't change much. If a Republican wins the President in 2016, it would.
-
The Republicans would prefer Hillary rather than Warren.
-
But it looks like 6-10 more years of the same... not much. Which is better than the Republicans would do.

1. Doesn't matter? What a bunch of fucking bullshit.

Why are you here if it doesn't matter? Why come to a Democratic website and spread both-parties-are-the-same crap?

[el_bryanto]

2. I think the point might be that we should be sure to hold the Senate

I don't think it's a matter of saying both parties are the same, I think it's more an issue of saying what politically will happen.

4. yep, that's the point

the powers that be are so entrenched, not much will happen. Unless a republican is elected.. then bad will definitely happen.

10. RandPaul2016. Been spreading the no difference oil from day one.

They see Paul as a Libertarian and think of themselves as cleverly avoiding fealty to GOP.

Rand is different, dontchaknow?

[rhett o rick]

13. The OP does not say both parties are the same. nm

[blm]

23. It's been the theme of a good deal of postings since he joined last month.

The OP is being consistent with that theme whether you see it or not.

[rhett o rick]

24. I dont know the poster and can only judge on the OP at hand. If he violates

SOP or CS, then alert.

[rhett o rick]

11. What is up? You totally misrepresent what this poster says and then disparage them

for it. And then someone alerts.

[Autumn]

22. Read first and avoid the anger

That isn't what the poster is saying.

[HERVEPA]

3. Yeh, sure. Doesn't matter who makes the Supreme Court appt.

Trolling or don't understand the process, which is it?

[Leme]

6. well, judge appontment and such are way slow now

I expect more of the same.... unless a Republican is elected, then bad will happen on that.
-
Who would be nominated and confirmed as Supreme Court justice... can't tell atm.

[rhett o rick]

14. Why are you calling the OP poster a troll? nm

[HERVEPA]

15. One of two reasons

1) I misread the original post
or
2) Original post was edited after I saw it.

If #1, I screwed up.

I think it was the second though

[Leme]

16. except for spelling or on non substantive threads

I put edit in the post

edit : such as this I use if substantive; I don't use edit all the time like this if it is a humor/sarcasm post, or for speeelling/ grammer ( plural vs singular etc)

[HERVEPA]

17. OK. My apologies for misreading and my highly inappropriate response then.

[Leme]

20. not a problem

I am not a perfect writer, and few here are perfect readers.
-
a discussion forum... so what is important that ideas are shared, and at times they get misunderstood.
-
really...no problem. : )

[rhett o rick]

19. Maybe but usually there is an indication of edits. nm

[JustAnotherGen]

5. We have to SCOTUS members

That are very advanced in age - one has battled severe health issues.

The President and who she appoints will definitely matter from January 2017 to January 2021.

[Leme]

7. Could you read my post please

It doesn't matter which Democrat elected.

[JustAnotherGen]

8. Ahh no problem

I had that yesterday - someone forgot to read my post about white male christian dominionists that clearly stated "REPUBLICAN" in it.

[Cresent City Kid]

9. The Democrats were hamstrung with the Presidency, House & 59 Senators

The gop can put any of their idiots in the White House and get their crap passed with 51 Senators with a few Dem defections. We need to have someone nimble and adept to navigate the legislative waters. We won't get jack shit passed without the House, but the right leader could make the difference in the midterms and break the stranglehold. The most likely outcome is the 6-10 years of the same you mention. To avoid this, or worse we need to be very selective, it does matter who we elect.

[berni_mccoy]

12. You know what really doesn't matter?

The OP.

[randome]

18. Geeze, Leme, I understood you perfectly.

Not sure why a handful of DUers jumped to the wrong conclusion. Must be the weather.

21. well, some people come to a thread looking for something

and see what they want to see... even if not there.
-
I got alerted and a post removed or whatever yesterday... because the person so wanted to make me into something untrue, for me to fit their reality, and something not even remotely stated in thread. I made a comment about their thinking ability. ahh..... poof.

Imagination can work wonders. : )
