Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."

Originally posted by nots View Post4 of Obama’s 8 years saw GDP growth of 1.7% or less (2009, 2011, 2013, 2016). For such a large stimulus, those numbers aren’t great.
Again, we will see how Trumps numbers stack up.

Originally posted by OaklandA's View PostThe sad part is that the last two times the economy was strong and unemployment was below 4% (1969, 2000), the government was able to actually achieve a budget surplus. This time, we have taken those two positive factors and still managed to double the budget deficit to $1 Trillion. Usually high employment results in large jumps in tax revenue, but not this time. Corporate tax revenue will actually be lower this year than in 2000 (even without accounting for inflation!).

Did you guys see that Michael Bloomberg has changed his registration from independent to Democrat...likely to prep for a presidential run in 2020 - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...0-bid-jn2z6gyr
I saw a few rankings with Biden and Sanders and a few others a few days ago in this string...I would think Bloomberg is at or near the top of that list as far as Trump opponents go.

Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostYeah, I think when get that high in age, past the average life expectancy of an American male, your age because a huge liability. you'd have to run with a really great and popular VP to overcome that. Being healthy and spry looking wouldn't hurt either.

Originally posted by revo View PostTrump would be 75, so at least there's that.
In all seriousness, despite his poor lifestyle choices, Trump has good longevity genes. He is very likely going to live well into his 80s. His mother lived to 88 and his father lived to 93.

And he has big ... hands.
It's fairly clear that either the next Democratic nominee has not yet made an impact or they will get slaughtered. Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton were obscure Governors. Maybe that is where the next hope sits. Obama was an obscure Senator but he had Chicago's political machine behind him. It's not the same thing.

I agree that Bloomberg is too old, but I appreciate his decision to explore running in the Democratic Primary rather than sitting out there as a potential 3rd party general election spoiler who would split Trump opposition. I don't think he'll win a Democratic Primary, but I think he'd contribute positively to the primary debates/discussions/platform, and embracing him within the Party will presumably have the corresponding benefit of focusing his financial support on Democrats, whereas he's historically played both sides. He also would be a good potential advisor/surrogate for the nominee and, hopefully, a good potential advisor or cabinet member for the next president.
