Moo, I flagged your posts for blabbing incessantly about an argument we all established was "incredibly dumb"

But if you want to hang the response on those ties, crut can feel free to defend Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon.

And speaking of dumb arguments - Clinton can be funny, but I don't understand the notion that funny is one of his generally recognized characteristics. Hillary reportedly can be quite funny and almost scarily broadly-informed behind the scenes.

Maybe instead of writing nine long-winded paragraph, you could've just written an Animaniacs-style song about how old each president was.

Yes. Had the vote been properly counted, Gore would have "won the electoral college" as well as the popular vote.
I will never ever tire of seeing this.

lots of things are going to come into play in 2020 that will be different, i think most obvious being that I can't imagine many Dem candidates if any having the same baggage via reputation and years of whispers about fake crimes that Hillary did

"years of whispers" (i.e. bullshit), ok, but otherwise this is potentially naive - some anticipate that something will be trumped up against any prospective nominee, quite possibly with falsified evidence.

I see. No right-wingers have started a whisper campaign about Kirsten Gillibrand (as was obviously inevitable), because one of the many responses pointing out that it was bullshit (and one of the two or three most prominent among google-pushed news search results for Gillibrand today, which also include beloved political commentary journal WaPo - https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2018/03/29/fake-kirsten-gillibrand-flap-reveals-double-standard-in-our-politics/) was published by a source I've previously called out, got it.

Thomas E. Dewey, GOP presidential nominee, 1944 and 1948.
As for elected national politicians, Charles Curtis, VP from 1929-1933 and Thomas R. Marshall, VP from 1913-1921
The last fully bearded presidential nominee was Charles E. Hughes, GOP nominee in 1916.

I was pumping gas last night and a guy at an adjacent pump asked me "so who ya voting for? newt?" I was kind of dumbstruck as to why anyone would ask a complete stranger who they're voting for in the GOP primaries.
