Canadian American to run for President
- Thread starter herdfan06
- Start date
All I know him for is the shutdown and how much the media can't stand him. I would vote for him, but I believe we're too scared as a nation to elect a Republican president. There's so much financial worry all over that TV. Instead of people getting on there to proclaim how well off they are, we get grown men crying over the plant closing. As long as that's the lasting image, we're going to vote for the big safety net.
Does anyone else think that Ted Cruz looks like the Ross Perot character from the old nickelodeon show All That? Every time I see him that's the only thing I think off

Ted Cruz is as eligible as John McCain and Chester A. Arthur (also born in Canada to American parents).
He won't.
But since he acts like a clown (like a lot of Republicans that run for POTUS), he will serve to dilute the brand.
Hillary really is the perfect candidate for this upcoming election. All the liberalism of Obama, but with at least some toughness about her. Americans may be starting to worry about this ISIS stuff a little bit. Whether she can really handle it or not, she will be able to portray that she can during the campaign.
She'll be the caring mother and protector. The media's just getting this piddly e-mail stuff out of the way now so they can say they didn't just softball toss her the whole thing like they did Obama.

I hope I get a chance to vote for him. He and Scott Walker are easily the best Republican candidates. Unfortunately we'll probably get stuck with another Bush
It's Scott Walker or nothing for the GOP.
I would vote for Cruz, but he has already been cast as a villain by the media. He looks mad. He shut down the government. Game's already over for him.
The rest of the field is weak, except maybe Scott Walker. I guess they're saving their October surprise for him.

Scared of what? The GOP continuing to find ways to alienate me?
The Dems have plenty of clowns, but the party leadership is now smart enough to keep them off the big stage.
The weird thing is Cruz is really smart. Why he chooses to make a joke of himself is beyond me. You can be a contrarian but be respected in the Senate; Rand Paul has done a good job of this (which is surprising, I figured he would quickly find a way to implode).

Agreed. Scott walker is the guy. Basically gave the finger to democrats and unions and still won big in a blue state. If hes the cadidate, republicans win, if hes not it will be Hillary. Plain and Simple.
America is not electing a college dropout (that didn't become a billionaire) to be POTUS. I understand the party base disdains education, but that shit won't fly with the undecided.

Hillary will be good enough, I guess. I won't vote for her, but she'll keep things going about how they are. Until something really big happens that actually affects the everyday lives of Americans, people are really OK with this whole deal right now.
A lot of the complaining on there is over small stuff that isn't really a life changer for anybody. If you want to make money, you can go make it. If you want to take money, you can sit at home and take it. This land was made for you and me.

Keep, from the actions of the representatives the base puts into state government.

I disagree Raoul. I think there are alot more people ticked off at the "educated" elite than you think.
Listening to the speech, the part about abolishing the IRS caught my attention. Too drastic of a change. America doesn't want change from what we have now. They say they do, just because they like to complain. Real change is only wanted once you reach a situation you can't stand anymore.
This is a country where the poor have pretty much everything the rich have. Everybody has it all. Everybody's living high on the hog. Nobody really wants to give any of this up. They want to see how long it can last. When it can no longer go on, that's when the populace will really clamor for drastic change.

429, if one believes only "the elite" think science and not fairy tales should be taught in public schools, that person should be barred from voting.

And the amount of people that actually think that is a major issue in elections is so small it doesn't even matter.
I am now commenting on proof the far right disdains education. Try to keep up.

The far left, which actually controls educational institutions, not just a megaphone, through its consistent destruction of the "Great Books" and growing dispersal of the study of philosophy, logic, and rhetoric as a required part of a liberal arts education in favor of gender studies and "trigger-free" zones has done far more to show an anti-intellectual bias than whatever rubes you can find on the internet and your own individual experience in a poorly-run "Christian" school.
Keep, we are talking high schools now. Not colleges. The traditional liberal arts education has been destroyed by the job market, which does not value a traditional liberal arts background. Business and sciences majors would rather take a fluff elective that philosophy, which isn't an easy A.
In high schools, the battleground is indeed evolution and bullshit blind patriotism in social studies, or so it would appear to be by the actions of Republican state legislators.

I'm surprised that kids are evidently more apt to buy into what some teacher at school says over what their parents tell them. Is that really a common occurrence? You hear about people blaming bad parents for kids not being interested in education, but then you hear about people being afraid that the teacher will have too much influence.
Which is it?
I had some opinionated teachers in high school, but they had no influence. The way I was raised and what I grew up around was the influence. School was just something where you go memorize stuff, take a test, eat lunch, play a game and go home.
