    Politics aside, selecting the USSR as a honeymoon destination casts serious doubt over the guy's judgment.

      Every time I now read about the USSR, I can't get the Beatles Song, "Back in the USSR" out of my mind.

      Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

        If Sanders gets the nomination (I highly doubt that'll happen) it might be the first time a veep pick would mean something given his age. I mean, sanders already looks like he's been president for 8 years, imagine what he'll look like if he actually wins and served two full terms. He'd probably resemble emperor palpatine by that point.

            he looked 80 when he was 50. Looks like he could very well win the first two primaries.

                Yeah, who wants to be on a sinking ship...

                Bernie Sanders Will Win the Democratic Nomination and Presidency in a Landslide

                My latest Huffington Post article on Clinton's 2008 persona as "Pro-Gun Churchgoer" was recently quoted in The Atlantic, along with another reference to Obama calling today's anti-gun crusader "Annie Oakley." Yes, Clinton has evolved on federal gun legislation, along with Iraq, Keystone XL, the TPP, gay marriage, marijuana legislation, sending U.S. ground troops to fight ISIS, and other contentious issues. Like a recent headline in The International Business Times states, Hillary Clinton Flip-Flopping On Ground Troops To Fight ISIS? Before US Sends Troops To Iraq, Clinton Says No To Deployment After First Saying Yes.


                Clinton's latest attempt at labeling Bernie Sanders the Ted Nugent of Democrats doesn't only ignore his lifetime D-minus rating from the NRA; it illustrates fear. Sanders has once again surpassed Clinton in Iowa and New Hampshire, and when he wins both, could easily take South Carolina. With three initial losses, Clinton's Southern "firewall" and hopes at a big Super Tuesday would be done, and the positive media coverage alone would propel Sanders throughout the primaries.
                [...]
                The candidate with the least amount of media coverage, and the candidate thought of as unable to win a general election by some pundits (even though he beats Trump in a "landslide of epic proportions"), is the only candidate in 2016 with positive favorability numbers.


                LOL... "the Ted Nugent of Democrats"

                  Aside from knocking out wretched Hillary, the main positive from a Sanders nomination is frequent impressions by Larry David on SNL.
                  Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                    If Bernie is looking good early on, I just might go vote for him in the primaries just to try and get him on the ticket since I'm pretty sure he'd lose the general election.

                      This election is truly about comedy.

                      We have crazy, whacko Bernie, the Trumpster-not-a dumpster, I'm-not-a-crook,-tricky-dicky-Hillary, and the list of other loons. The US election is one for the Comedy Channel

                        Someone told Kasich to keep his hands in check. Now he's only slinging one arm around, which is almost as distracting.

                                Queen Elizabeth Promises To ‘Take Back America’ If Trump Elected

                                Queen Elizabeth has promised her subjects that she will authorize the UK to invade the United States of America if Donald Trump is elected President in November 2016.


                                Buckingham Palace released a statement from her Majesty, saying “Should Mr Trump be elected we will take back America by force and place it once again under colonial rule“.
