US politics: Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am...

A mini-can is not going to suffice. They already have what? 10 official candidates?

Jindal would be Lucky Thirteen. Christie fourteen, with Walker still unannounced.

Should there be some changes about how long a supposed candidate should be mentioned in polling and such before they announce? Specifically when there is an established field?

Did anyone know if the issue of supposed candidature raising money through super pacs prior to announcing is still being pursued?

13. Although that might count Walker, Christie, and Kasich, who haven't officially declared yet.

Also, I'm not sure what Trump's status is, since last I heard he hadn't actually submitted his FEC paperwork yet (every other candidate did that the same day they announced).

Trump has like 120 days or something from announcement to when he's required to fill out actual paperwork and do financial disclosures.

All the odds are on him dropping right before that date because this is just an ego-stroking publicity stunt and he doesn't want anyone to look at the state of his financial because Trump is famous for how bad at business he is and is living proof that everything the right in America thinks about wealth and who has it is wrong.

Well, here's a quote from Politico:

Nearly a week after announcing he was running for president, Donald Trump has made it official and filed his paperwork with the Federal Election Commission.

The one-page statement of candidacy was hand-delivered to the FEC on Monday. Trump had 15 days to send the document to the agency.

Sure. When Hillary made it official to run for President she travelled by a custom made Mini-van in order to appear more common to the people.

The GOP can totally outdo her on that front. Imagine 13 of these bozos all piling out of the same Econoline. The gas savings alone could fund Santorums run.

I don't usually get excited about American politics. Even the election in '08 didn't really galvanize me in any meaningful way. Sure, I cast my vote for Obama and eagerly watched to see the results on television, but in my heart I knew that nothing he did was going to live up to the change I was hoping for.



Bernie Sanders... entirely different. Maybe its because of his slant, but aside from the politics he seems genuine, which is rare in modern politics.



He doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting elected, but I do like the man.

It's stuff like this that will make sure that Hillary does not win in 2016. All the GOP has to do is report it.

Let's look closely at what is claimed here:

purportedly produced by supporters of Hillary Clinton’s campaign for president.

That means that someone who wanted Hillary Clinton to be president is alleged to have made and sold some buttons. Even if this allegation is true, it does not mean Clinton knew about these buttons, or that she endorsed them, or that she profited from them. So I am afraid this poison pill is merely sugar.
