Only real chance the Democrats have to hold onto the Presidency.

I brought the idea up previously, but gilliam posted some numbers from the '96 election. An even larger percentage of Democrats wanted a challenger to Clinton nominated.

No way they’ll dump him. No way. He’s all they have.

Well if he’s all they got, then they ain’t got squat.

May the Democratic party splt and cease to be a power. It is the punishment for supporting abortion and sodomy.

Well if another one of the four would prefer going the tar and feather route and yet another would prefer him to be put on a permanent vacation on Martha’s Vineyard, then we willl have to start giving Democrats more credit.

Well there is still one demographic that Obama is still popular with:

In contrast to the majority of the general public dissatisfied with the nation’s direction, 56 percent of the estimated 2.75 million American Muslims said they are satisfied, the survey showed. Seven out of 10 view President Barack Obama’s tenure favourably.

Proof of the pudding? If he’s not elected, then there’s something to the claim. If he’s re-elected, then all this talk of dumping him is no more than flatulence. A little too soon to be sure, isn’t it?

I’m sure you meant to say ‘split’…but, seriously, I’m with you, too! :sad_yes:

(I thought I read it as ‘spit’ )

Punishment according to whom?

It’s primary season, and they are talking about their desire for another Democrat to contest him. As it stands, his chances of being re-elected in the Democratic Party Primary are pretty good.

A hypothetical candidate is always preferable to the real candidate you’ve got who has a track record of both accomplishments and failures, things you like and things you don’t like. Just like the very real, very flawed candidates for the Republican nomination. If you polled Republicans, I’m pretty sure that one in four would prefer “none of the above.”

True. Obama had practically no track record when he duped the public into buying his “hope and change” line. Now, he has a clear track record of failure.

Except for “duped,” I tend to agree. Voters weren’t fools and there was no trickery on his part to get the votes. They of their own free will and being of sound mind chose him. That they did wrong is obvious, but there was no sleight of hand.

As for me, I wanted Hillary as President. Her competence is unquestioned.

While I wouldn’t support her, I think she would have done a better job this last four years than Obama has. I also believe she could mount a serious challenge to him now, if she wanted to. Of course, it won’t happen though…

Competent or not, (and I’m not saying I agree with her policies. Leftists can be “competent” in all but philosophy) she’s as pro-abortion as they come. No vote from me. Period.
