I thought there was, but maybe he just dressed up like that for fun. Cross-dressing bi-cis-gen-heshes are confusing to me, and Justin Trudeau is no exception. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 10 hours ago, Koko78 said: He'd be best off going in as the VP candidate in 2020, to increase his national exposure, while the Democrats exploit and expand his contacts/ability to raise massive amounts of cash. He needs to stay away from getting into the mud with the current crop of insane bottom-feeders lining up for the Democrat nod. The extreme leftist bullschiff they're aiming for isn't going to last long. Being a VP candidate keeps him insulated from having to make a record of policy preferences (which can be used against him later), and a loss to Trump doesn't hurt him (as it was the nominee who lost to Trump, not Beto.) That puts him in a prime position to run in 2024, without an incumbent (and severe GOP White House fatigue), if they lose, and puts him in line in 2028 if the Democrats actually manage to win. Losing VP's have a bad track record in both future primaries and general elections. Walter Mondale (lost 2nd term) and Bob Dole off the top of my head were presidents who lost the general elections. Meanwhile, rising stars such as Palin, Ryan, Edwards (lol), and Quayle (2nd term) were pernamently damaged after losing as the VP candidate. Older losing VP candidates like Lieberman and Ferraro never gained traction in their presidential runs. The last losing Vice President to later become president was FDR. It's not impossible but losing against Trump even as the VP likely takes a major hit to your political reputation. Also, if I was somebody like Harris/Warren/Gillibrand/Booker (god help us) it would be smarter to pick a VP like Sherrod Brown, Jon Tester, or Tim Ryan. Somebody that appeals more to the white working class. I think Beto should run now as he could always run again in the future. I wouldn't take the VP slot though.

Mondale and Dole didn’t have a hope at all, readily known by everybody from the start of their campaigns. Somebody had to run against a “second term by acclamation.” Leibermam never wanted to be President and Ferraro was with Mondale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the saddest of the last 50 years. He didn’t have a snowballs chance in a blast furnace in the first place, along with being a useless public personality and speaker. and then they went after his running mate for her husband’s alleged ties to organized crime. Carter, Mondale, Dukakis the worst string of three in US history, amazing the Party recovered from that....

Americans like to give 2 terms to one side and then 2 to the other, with some exceptions above/below 2 All for "the sake of change" after 8 years, which isn't a bad thing to have, keeps it steady. At least your system forces the party leader out in the open. In the UK and Canada they just nominate any goof when the party has two seats, and then suddenly they are Prime Minister without any scrutiny when their party (of only 2) wins again.

Yes, that's a short list in her world. I'm looking forward to the first person that I know that tells me they are going to support her. I'll do some math in advance. Should be fun.
