Bravo, President Obama. Too bad the Democrat chickens did not capitalize on these, ran away from you and lost in Nov. 2014. Screw them.
West Coast - 74
CO, NV, NM - 20
New England - 29
NY, PA, NJ - 63
VA, MD, DE, DC - 31
WI, MN, IL - 40
Total = 257
She only needs to win one other state OH (18) or FL (29). FL 75% chance with the immigration action taken by President Obama. That will put Hillary at 286. OH 65% chance and she will advance to 304.
Bye Bye clowns!
I don't see her receiving the majority of the minority vote.
Cannot think of those states voting for a red neck
While it would be very nice if your predictions come true (I did vote for her in the primaries) there are potential wild cards.
At the risk of repeating myself, if Elizabeth Warren changes her mind, she could potentially hurt Clinton in the NE primaries.
On the other hand, the Democrats are generally missing challengers with stature, so your bet is probably safe and -yes- there will be fratricide among the Republicans..
Minority men doubt if their will be one. I think minorities would rather sit out, or go third party, or maybe even vote redneck. Over the woman GaGambler refers to as the Hildabeast.
Her husband still carries the title:
"THE BLACKEST PRESIDENT"
You think African American, Hispanic and Asian women will vote for a Republican? For what? To have their birth control denied, abortion denied, equal pay denied and last but not least, have their sons killed by white cops
I predict that 2016 will see the lowest turn out of minority voters in quite sometime.
"THE BLACKEST PRESIDENT"
You think African American, Hispanic and Asian women will vote for a Republican? For what? To have their birth control denied, abortion denied, equal pay denied and last but not least, have their sons killed by white cops?
When was the last time an Asian kid was killed by a white cop?
With Republicans holding the House and Senate I would prefer a Democrat president.
Private enterprise grows more when there's gridlock within Government
I suspect Hillary will be too tired to sustain the energy it takes to run for President.
Let's not forget, her mind is more weary and forgetful than her feet .
It will happen in time.

I didn't even see your numbers, probably all false. I'll point out the obvious claim of zero wars.
Are you sure about that number 0 ?
... and that last line, are you touting higher taxes as a positive?

OK if all my numbers are false, why not you list your numbers, 2008 VS 2015? Major economic indicators. Care to do it?
Yes I am sure about (0 wars) as we have not gone and occupied a country in 2015
Ignore this guy and maybe, just maybe, he'll go away. After all, his sole purpose on these boards is to draw attention to himself. If no one replies to him, he can't be satisfied.
Of course, if he does think about leaving, he won't do so until he changes his handle two or three more times . . . .
So someone challenges my economic indicators as false. I ask him for what according to him are the true numbers. He comes back, not with correct numbers but calling me an idiot! You say I should be ignored.
Looks like I am the only adult on this board. You jerks don't have anything positive to contribute to a discussion on the "Politics & Religion" Board but ugly personal attacks on me.
No, I am not going away anywhere. If you want to challenge me, then come up with what you think are correct and true. Otherwise, get the fuck out!
and the worst thing is, HE'S RIGHT.lmao
Just remember, trolls like Hadji are to be talked "about" but not talked "to".
BTW Hadji, you made this big deal about going to LV to fuck four women on NYE on your local board, and then nothing, not to mention you were actually posting right here on TER during the period of time that you were supposed to be off in Vegas on your little fuck fest, So what gives? I bet you actually spent your NYE at a Waffle House in St Cloud. lmao
On this thread we have almost every idiot poster. biggay30 plus newgay and comfort zone and JCA. It's a veritable idiots convention.
You are the Grand Marshal, of idiots
Blabbermouth that I am, I am down to barely fifty posts over the last month. These morons aren't even worth insulting, much less actually trying to talk to.
1. The Dow has "always" gone up after a steep drop and recession.
2. When it takes 1.6 jobs to equal one 40 hour week, due to ACA 30 hour rule , false unemployment numbers look true. Major service sector employers are so concerned about their employees getting 30 hours, they keep their employees down to 25 hours average.
3. Thanks to grid lock. When the economy was depressing in 2009, 2010, rebounds were not in sight until Republicans took over the House.
With a Republican Senate majority after the 2014 blow out, along with the House, you can expect good times in 2015.
When the GOP took control of Clinton with a majority House and Senate in 1994, along with the dot com boom, the economy grew fast.
2015 should be better since technology is growing more than ever and dot com businesses are not "as" inflated as years past.
4. Artificially induced low interest rates
5. The Poor are excluded from CC polls. There are 20% more poor in the U.S.than 2008. Many poor are poorer because of the ACA 30 hour rule.
6. Thanks to private oil industries, especially in U.S and Canada, and the fact there are more poor and middle class world wide ,now buying less gas and make up.
7. Portfolios of the rich and famous are growing, middle class and poor have less savings, thanks to the ACA 30 hour rule.
8. Due to politics, wars are not called wars. There are more conflicts with killing and bombing world wide today, with more countries, than anytime in History,other than times of world wars.
Many armed conflicts at this time in history could easily turn into major wars. The U.S is hated more at this day in time, by more people, than ever before.
9. As usual, rich people and rich corporations comprised of people, are making more money, therefore paying more taxes, to help the poor hurt by the ACA 30 hour rule.
I'm hoping the Democrat party can find a healthy, mentally aware candidate for 2016. After the country sees how great things are after a GOP Houses and Senate in control of gridlock for the next two years, voters should see, based on history, a majority House and Senate along with the Presidency comprised of the same party, is a recipe for severe economic disaster.

" When the economy was depressing in 2009, 2010, rebounds were not in sight until Republicans took over the House".
What did the House Republicans do to improve the economic indicators from 2008 to what it is in 2015?
1. By holding up a vote to increase the national debt, they had S&P downgrade Federal Bonds.
2. The 2010 Federal Government shutdown? According to S&P, it took $24 billion out of the economy.
3. Voted to repeal ACA 33 times
4. Filed lawsuits against the President
5. Hearings on phony scandals
6. Held back Unemployment benefits, Cut Food stamps, Cut numerous programs that help children of parents living below the Federal poverty line.
What would the country have done without these people.
Why don't you blame the President for these items?

It's because of the easy monetary policies of our Federal Reserve. Their easy money policies have kept interest rates surpressed and ignited an asset boom. This of course has benefited the large Banks and the top 10% who own stocks and various real estate assets. The middle class and poor for the past 5 years have seen prices of the very things they need, food, and other consumer products rise up, and at the same time have seen their wages go down. The middle class is just now seeing some brief respite from falling gasoline prices. The only reason gasoline prices have fallen is because demand in Europe and Asia has fallen.
It's kinda ironic that the same folks who have benefited from all this Federal Reserve largess, hate Obama and this Administration the most. When, not if, we get another Banking crisis, I wonder which of the politicians on Capital Hill is going to be pushing for another bailout of the Banks. I think at that point the average American will be ready to start hanging their politicians on wooden stakes.
no need to have an election it appears...save lots of money.
