I love this. Since when do we need a guarantee that any given law will prevent every crime? Why is that the standard for gun regulation, but not for any other crime? How does that even pass for a rational argument?

Re: Clinton, yes, exactly. But don't worry about Trump. He will not be elected.

I am no Clinton fan. I believe she is too closely tied to the financial sector, and too quick to resort to force to solve diplomatic problems. That said, you have to remember that she, and her husband, have withstood 25 years of venomous, and frequently completely false, attacks by the GOP...

I find this to be an interesting comment. As someone who lives in the US, I must ask: why not? No, economic growth is not what it should be, interest rates are low making it difficult to save, and there remain serious problems in the country. But under Democratic administrations, we have...

"Little research has been done on the views of open-carry policies among police officers nationwide or even within states, which each regulate guns differently. But studies by two top police organizations in the past year provide some insight. "In Florida and Texas, where open-carry laws were...

Yep, the Republicans are really gonna go after HRC now! They've only been fooling' around the last 20 years!

He screws things up by being an amoral, rudderless, say anything, opportunistic, me-first asshole, actually.

This actually isn't quite true. There are certain segments of the GOP base who are all in on Trump: nativists (build a wall, ban Muslim immigration, etc.), racists (e.g. David Duke), and some economically disaffected whites who see the US changing and don't like it. But many in the GOP are...

So, here we go with the personal attacks. I'm ignorant and KJ is lazy and/or incapable of comprehending DD41 shrewd political commentary, because we simply disagree with a seriously flawed and far-fetched argument ("Hillary, you're really going to jail now!"), even though basically every...

Presumably this will go as swimmingly for the GOP as the last time they called on her to testify, when they spent 8 hours making her look like Winston Churchill surrounded by the GOP dwarves. Indeed, bring it on.

Haha. Ok, well, I'm sure the GOP Benghazi! committee will be filing charges any... day? Week? Month! ... now. After all, it's only been, what?, a couple of years they've been rooting around looking for dirt. And those Vince Foster murder charges will be next, no doubt. Hell, what's the...

Admittedly, my post was a bit tongue-in-cheek. Cruz' lapdog Mike Lee (R-UT) has been floated out there more frequently as a possibility from the right. But these are all moot points. Scalia's replacement will either be Garland or someone rather farther to the left. Frankly, at this point I'd...

I'd be clinging to this type of thinking too, if I were a Trumpeter. But I wouldn't bet the farm on HRC's "legal problems" derailing her. The GOP have been after her for 20 years and, well, here we are...

Yes, and when Trump is president, he will nominate the "honorable" Mr. Cruz to the Supreme Court. :boom:

Another point to consider: there are 19 states, plus DC, that have gone into the Democratic column in every one of the last 6 presidential elections (1992-2012). Those 19 states/DC represent 242 electoral votes. A candidate needs 270 to win. If Clinton takes, say, Florida in addition to...
