Apr 2019

And after next week, you won't be able to get away with the "announced candidates" bs.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
PBO...HRC Me. Apr 2019 #1
Bernie Sanders doesn't seem to have a middle name. BlueStater Apr 2019 #4
Oh For Heaven Sake Me. Apr 2019 #7
Obama can accurately be called POTUS too. The context will make clear irisblue Apr 2019 #60
IBS doesn't work temporarily while he's officially Democrat, Hortensis Apr 2019 #81
Don't think is supporters would like that one either Andy823 Apr 2019 #131
Oh, no! :) I just threw that out. Hortensis Apr 2019 #132
How about SBS? if BHO can be called PBO (because we fear the middle name), JustABozoOnThisBus Apr 2019 #116

He had help. n/t rzemanfl Apr 2019 #27
Only here. Otherwise he leads all other candidates in the polls onit2day Apr 2019 #12
That doesn't make sense as a reply to what was stated. NT WeekiWater Apr 2019 #15

I've been criticized for referring to SHS by her last name alone in subject lines. So, SHS and BS. highplainsdem Apr 2019 #140
Location, location, location and maybe some context. TexasTowelie Apr 2019 #117
No. It's called initials. GaYellowDawg Apr 2019 #10
Initials that can also stand for something completely unflattering. BlueStater Apr 2019 #11
Well, then, get pissed at his parents. GaYellowDawg Apr 2019 #14
Wow, you seem touchy. BlueStater Apr 2019 #16
I am touchy. GaYellowDawg Apr 2019 #39

So what that has been going on forever. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #20
So what? BannonsLiver Apr 2019 #179
So what in that when I see people type BS, I don't just think they mean Bernie Sanders. BlueStater Apr 2019 #184
Often, we refer to people by the easiest shortcut. murielm99 Apr 2019 #13
I never liked using HRC, only because it's also the same initials for the Human Rights Campaign SFnomad Apr 2019 #24
LBJ took the IRT down to murielm99 Apr 2019 #30
And when he got down there he looked around and said "BFD"! George II Apr 2019 #87
It is his initials. So no. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #18
Yes. It's an insult. zentrum Apr 2019 #19
JFK, FDR, HMT, DDE, JFK, LBJ, RMN, RFK, WJC, BHO (and sometimes PBO), HRC, etc. George II Apr 2019 #22
I never said that no one is ever referred to by their initials. BlueStater Apr 2019 #33
None of the other 19 or so candidates have been out there for 3-4 years, people aren't familiar... George II Apr 2019 #41
