+DieChecker Posted January 23, 2019 #27 Share Posted January 23, 2019 My opinion is that she appears qualified, but that almost assures she will not be nominated, going off recent elections. It will be whomever the lead Leftist media, and Leftist financiers, want in office. That's how Clinton kept getting the auto-nomination. In 2008, Obama was picked by the media, and Clinton by the money, and the media won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he was a weapon in Illinois, not so much elsewhere, so maybe some could see it coming. But all of a sudden, he picked up steam and blew right passed Golden Girl, Hilary, who started out with a huge lead. Then she cried. Thats a bit of revisionist history amigo. Obama was hand selected before the '04 primaries and his speech at the DNC convention was simply amazing. Hell I was a GOP operative at the time and I'll never forget listening to that speech and knowing he was gonna win in '08 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's already said enough to show she knows very little about anything. Her former job as a bartender and her 10 mins in Congress haven't given her much in the way of experience judging by the way she can't keep her foot out of her mouth. Most people in her position would set about learning their job. The people who are puffing up her ego aren't doing her any favors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the one hand,she has little career politician brainwashing and so far is loud,brash,and causing her own party fits ...Sound like someone else we know?... On the other,i'm no fan of several of her policy ideas and her loud brashness has been very loaded with utter nonsense and inaccurracies...again,sounds like someone else we know One honest assessment to anyone paying attention is,she is getting this type of hype and attention for the very same reasons Trump swallowed up the all the Republicans media attention in '15-'16! People are sick and tired of hearing the same 'ol BS from the same old faces that have carried on political favors for one another ever so often disguised as "bipartisan cooperation"...and still nothing gets done for the average everyday American. I had already been hearing rumblings of old Dems whispering to AOC to "calm it down" or "cool it" once she got voted in...I like that she hasn't,and has made the establishment have to start doing so out in the open... We need more honest human like politicians who speak their honest opinions out in the open to break up the monopoly of career "sooth sayers"...matters not to me if they screw up their facts every now and then,hell i just want to know where the hell they ACTUALLY stand! The Democrat and Republican parties need to be taken apart completely,if not outright banned due to religious like devotion anymore,and rebuilt outta brutal unhinged honesty so we can know who is who...only then can "working out deals" with one side or the other be accomplished... My 2 cents anyway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, never worked a day in his life and never lived a life that even KINDA resembles the American experience the rest of us have. Real life experience. I definitely give credit where credit is due, the man is a genius at emotional manipulation, the reality of his finances however is that he was given a multi million dollar corporation in addition to the hundreds of millions potentially illegally funneled to him by his father.

My 2 cents anyway Maybe she would grow into a worthy candidate one day with some years and life experience. I actually thought that about Obama, they pushed him into a job he wasn't ready for and imo he was insecure his entire two terms. One thing that stood out to me was one of the first reports from behind the scenes, about a month in, they would bring him his daily report every morning and ask him to make decisions and he finally had a huge meltdown screaming "Quit asking me to make decisions!" Which is what the POTUS is supposed to do. He was clearly in over his head. But maybe that's what they wanted someone to stand up and give speeches that they could control because they know so little. She'd be the same way.

So his companies and all the people who work for him don't exist? It's ridiculous to say "he's never worked a day in his life", clearly he has. In fact, his construction guys say he insisted on learning how to run all their machinery and has made his kids learn to as well. So I guess he sits in the oval office every day with his feet on his desk and snoozes. Obviously he works in the White House. It makes no sense to say something so easily dismissed.

She's not old enough anyway,but i appreciate her honesty SO FAR on how she thinks and feels no matter if i disagree with many of her stances or not... Her short lived honesty and clear stances makes her a much better politician in '19 than "Build a wall/Never build a wall Nancy" or "Obamacare is unconstitutional/I won't vote to repeal it" McCain... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the rich guy wants to play with the big toys and im supposed to believe that is work? Comeon you know what im saying. He has never had to work a day in his life. He has never been an employee , he has never had the concern of needing to perform in order to keep a job or not pay for his essentials. 12 hours ago, skliss said: So I guess he sits in the oval office every day with his feet on his desk and snoozes.
