I actually remember watching that debate and hearing him say that Me too! I just had a flashback. I can still see that hurt/shocked look on Quayle's face. It was precious and he deserved it. Thanks for the fond memory. lol.

I'm reluctant to write this as it's such a scary proposition, but Politico has an article out that says the JA is on track for a 2020 landslide victory! Nooooooooo!! Please No!!!!!!
"President Donald Trump has a low approval rating. He is engaging in bitter Twitter wars and facing metastasizing investigations. But if the election were held today, he’d likely ride to a second term in a huge landslide, according to multiple economic models with strong track records of picking presidential winners and losses." -- www.politico.com/story/2019/03/21/trump-economy-election-1230495
This just makes my blood run cold to read it.

Yes, such a trait we want to see in a President.. why do people think this is acceptable behavior? We don't accept it from a teenager, WHY is it ok from the president?!

New Zealand is banning assault rifles. Why do other countries seem to have so much more just plain common sense than our own does? It's so refreshing to see a government actually do something tangible to try and protect their citizens.

Because other countries don't have the NRA pouring billions of dollars into buying off politicians!

New Zealand has a Leader. We don't.

I agree with you both Linda and Pat. The NRA buys off the politicians and the politicians don't even seem to try and hide that anymore. And, we don't have a leader. That explains both Congress and the JA, but I'll never understand why normal people don't rise up about it, and yet so many of those hard right conservatives have no problems with locking children up in cages but think the world will stop turning on its axis if we don't allow every nut on the planet to own an assault rifle. Well, I guess I misspoke there. Those hard right conservatives are not normal people. At least they're not normal in my opinion.

Pam, you and I have talked about how smart we think Pete Buttigieg is and how impressed we are with his candidacy thus far. You may have already seen this article on CNN's website, but I thought I'd post a link in case you haven't or if anyone else is interested. I really don't think he can come out of nowhere and make it to the nomination, but as you mentioned he is getting some great exposure for maybe down the road. www.cnn.com/2019/03/21/politics/pete-buttigieg-2020-campaign/index.html

Kind of funny how Karma can come back to bite you right in the you know what. HMMM, Jared, Ivanka & others using personal emails to communicate with foreign countries, even possible using classified intel. Do you think JA will change the chant to "Lock THEM up?" I wonder how all the GOP Hilary haters, JA, the spokespeople for the WH will explain this with a straight face...Jeez! WTH next!

Linda, don't forget there are different rules for family members, and dump supporters and some republicans.
It's easy to remember. Whatever dumpsters do or say is fine and dandy. Even mocking a war hero!
Anything reasonable and sane people do like pointing out how cruel, stupid, and vile it is for a draft dodger to try to disgrace and mock the memory of a war hero and respected politican is horrid. That's not acceptable.
Different strokes for different folks. Unhinged lunatics get a pass if they sit in Oval Office.

I wish it would bite them, but Rs seem to think everybody associated with this administration should get to play by a completely different set of rules. I mean really! Just how dumb or arrogant (my bet is on arrogant) do you have to be to send classified information over WhatsApp?!!! The hypocrisy is just simply mind boggling, and so is the total lack of concern for matters of state. Republicans like to shout about how strong they are on security, but it's total BS and has been ever since Cheney outed Valerie Plame. It just gets worse and worse and worse.

Speaking of outing someone, I was reminded today, that when McCain ran for President in 2008, he had decided to ask Leiberman (sp) to run with him. A Republican & an Independent working together & they would commit to only 1 term. They were keeping it under wraps to tie up loose ends & It was a serious consideration until someone spilled the beans & the other Republicans were upset & wouldn't go for it. It was Lyndsey Graham who let it out!!! The "supposed good friend" of McCain. Palin was then picked & the rest is History. Graham is a self serving yuk!!!
