Jeb Bush sucks. He's a radical & that can't lead the country. I'm sure Hillary would wipe the floors with him.
Yes, I am "ready" for a female president. I've been ready for one since forever. However, what I'm really ready for is an actual liberal. Which Hilary is not.
Her approval rating is high. Even after this Benghazi "scandal" .. This will be used against her strongly though & will be an excuse for the sexists.
Isn't 2 Bushes enough for one generation? I kind of feel like doing a thread where I break down all of the possible candidates for both parties, and make (way too early) predictions. American-centric for real.
I'm ready for anybody to be president; I'm not one to vote contingent on one's popularity OR gender but rather their competence as a leader.
I don't like politics I will never ever vote unless my life depends on it and if I don't vote less jury duty
What I'm not ready for is having to listen to the misogynists/sexists down here complain for four years. Or eight.
It's definitely an overstatement to call Bush a "radical" because he isn't. He's actually relatively moderate and far from a Tea Party favorite. He also supports Common Core and immigration, and the Tea Party strongly opposes both. I'd like him more if he didn't have neoconservative views on foreign policy. Jeb and Hillary are actually more similar than you think.
LOL! If Jeb Bush is a radical, then what does that make Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz? Bush is a flake, and a centrist. He's pretty much like Hillary on many issues. Sadly, most successful American politicians today are centrists in the sense that they abandon their base in order to gain votes.
The crazy 1950s "women in the kitchen" types don't want a female president... lol their 'legit' reason is the housewives bit, nothing more.
Ted Cruz & Rubio are psychos too, never would get my vote. My Republican family already said they won't be voting for him or Rand Paul.. Too radical.
On foreign policy, yes. No matter who wins the presidency - aside from Rand Paul - we will continue to spend massive amounts on the military and intervene in situations we have no business intervening in. But it's a little bit of a different story on domestic policy.
I personally liked Bush as governor of Texas. In the elections, he steered a bit too much to the right, especially letting his campaign ride the coattails of gay discrimination. That said, Hillary Clinton is not someone I would like as President. For one, she strikes me as too politically conniving. I'm ready for a female president but I see her as a person who'll say and do anything to be elected. I'm sure she wanted to be president since she saw her husband in power (or maybe since kindergarten :lol and won't forget that she slinged mud at Obama during the primaries for 2008, and that she played it nice with the establishment afterwards so that she gets ready to run again for 2016. I personally feel she wants to be president just to be president. That said, I vote for a person's character and what they stand for, not for what is between their legs.
I have already been. The last time we had a female president, she turned out to be corrupt but then again so are every politicians in our country.
