• Nostradamus

    From Lee Lofaso@2:221/360 to Gregory Deyss on Wednesday, July 10, 2019 17:44:00
    Hello Greg,

    [..]

    The Democratic Party is out of touch, and will lose again to Donald Trump.

    People do not vote for a party, but for candidates of their choice.

    One does not need to have insight like Nostradamus, to make such a
    prediction.

    I do not know any candidate by the name of The Democratic Party.

    I seriously doubt the French seer Nostradamus ever did, either.
    But he did write a few things (in cryptic verse) about Donald Trump.

    I do not know any candidate by the name of The Democratic Party.

    Does it matter that I did not name them, my point was obviously they will ALL lose to or drop out of the race. One will remain and the last man or woman standing will lose to Donald Trump, I thought that was a obvious point.
    However I am glad nonetheless, to clear up any confusion on your part.

    Hello Greg,

    I do not know any candidate by the name of The Democratic Party.

    Does it matter that I did not name them, my point was obviously they will
    ALL lose to or drop out of the race.

    Bush41 was flying high after he single-handedly pushed Iraq out
    of Kuwait in the Gulf War, his chances for winning a second term
    virtually assured, as his approval ratings were over 90 percent.

    In October 1991 a Democratic candidate from Arkansas entered the
    race for the Democratic nomination. Nobody gave him a snowball's
    chance in hell. He went on to win his party's nomination, and
    the White House, on a theme cooked up by a mad Cajun by the name
    of James Carville. "It's the economy, stupid!" became the rallying
    cry of Bill Clinton, who went on to serve two consecutive terms,
    leaving office with the highest job approval ratings in history.

    Bill Clinton was not the only candidate who had pulled off such
    a stunt. Jimmy Carter had done it in 1976, beating all the bigwigs
    in his own party to claim the nomination of his party, en route to
    winning the presidency. "Only the best" was his mantra.

    It is anybody's game at this point in time. A new candidate
    just entered the race, with no poll numbers at all. Nobody is
    assured of winning the nomination, much less the election.

    One will remain and the last man or woman standing will lose to Donald
    Trump, I thought that was a obvious point.

    Bill Weld may win the Republican nomination, putting an end
    to Donald Trump's reign of terror. Republicans will then rejoice,
    if not only for a short time, as their chosen candidate prepares
    to do battle with his Democratic opponent ...

    If you do not believe that fantasy, here is another one -

    Unlike the last election, the American people will decide who
    they want, not the Russians. A legitimate president who would
    serve them well.

    However I am glad nonetheless, to clear up any confusion on your part.

    Predictions are nothing more than guesses. Educated or not.
    Prophecies, especially those made by Nostradamus, are a totally
    different ballgame ...

    History will repeat itself, Trump will be out there in the polls appearing
    like he is not really doing that great, (It really does give the Democratic party hope) - false hope but whatever. Then come September to October of
    2020, you better sit down and hang on....
    You are in for a real treat or a disaster, depending on which way you see things.

    they want, not the Russians. A legitimate president who would
    serve them well.

    You don't think that the primary winner will be the biggest gimmick available at the time? Whoever can use the most shock value to disgust conservatives; somebody who truly hates the health & safety of the American citizens; the
    one who will incite race wars and create the most hostile social climate
    among whites & non-whites; Kamala's got this.

    The only thing she's missing, to be a success in the Democratic primary, is free health care for all who pass through the USA & Iran. <- That will seal
    the deal for sure.

    You know who's not going to be the primary winner? Tulsi Gabbard. The reason
    is because she's a veteran; liberals hate that. How would they ever win the election if they back a person who served our country? People who are willing to serve our country are not going to be successful in the democratic
    primary; valor doesn't win liberal votes, unfortunately; the opposite does.

    candidate last time.

    at all. I am glad that people today have more choices, and that
    there are multiple parties having candidates to choose from.

    I agree, it's better to have choices. Sometimes, in my voting district, we
    have local elections with candidates running unopposed; it's disheartening
    when the unopposed candidate is from my least favorite party.

    We survived having a black man as president. So why not a black woman?

    Obama was pretty terrible, but I don't think he incited race wars; that's why not this particular black woman. Some other black woman would be fine. Since the democrats are experts at exploiting people of color, a black woman has pretty good odds for them.

    The republicans don't exploit people of color though; they don't exploit
    people of valor either. Whoever is best for us (best for our country in this case) is the one they will pick. (Not whoever looks the best on the cover of
    a book.)

    Hello Aaron,

    People do not vote for a party, but for candidates of their choice.

    I must admit that I do in fact vote for a party. I can't be the only one.

    It used to be, not so long ago, that people in Louisiana and most
    of the South, had no choice but to vote for candidates in the
    Democratic Party, as there were usually no Republicans on the ballot
    at all. I am glad that people today have more choices, and that
    there are multiple parties having candidates to choose from.

    I am not criticizing folks who choose to vote the party line.
    Some people continue to do so, as is their right. But I do find
    today's choices as being much more open and democratic.

    serve them well.

    Everything ought to be free. That is what I believe. And that is
    what most people believe. Better for me to spend other people's money
    rather than my own. Wouldn't you agree?

    I have friends who are from Iran. They had to move here in order
    to escape persecution due to their faith. Both have made it here in
    the USA, and are thankful for what this country has done for them.
    Every now and then, I have to remind them it is best to remain here
    rather than to visit their former homeland. Iran does not treat
    those who have left their shores in the same light as those who have
    chosen to keep the faith in the wisdom of their mullahs.

    That is something Americans fail to understand. And are fortunate
    in that respect, given how other peoples are treated in other lands.

    You know who's not going to be the primary winner? Tulsi Gabbard. The reason >is because she's a veteran; liberals hate that. How would they ever win the >election if they back a person who served our country? People who are
    willing

    There are three veterans in the race for the Democratic nomination,
    including one man who is openly gay. Which one the Democrats will
    choose as their party's nominee is anybody's guess. But it would be
    nice if the Republicans would consider a true veteran for their own
    nominee.

    Reign of Terror?

    Some might call it that.

    Excuse me, what reign of terror, only if your a Iranian.

    And many others. Especially those south of the border.

    Seriously though, do you even realize that today the stock market broke
    another record today July 11, 2019

    While that may be good news for the investors, it means nothing
    to folks who have invested little or nothing in the stock market.
    And why should they? They have mouths to feed, and have to earn
    a living in order to to that. Investors have money to burn, and
    even if they lost it all would have lots of money left over to
    do with what they want.

    What this country needs is a president who can provide the leadership
    necessary to implement an economic policy that works for all Americans,
    not just for a small handful of investors who put their faith in the
    stock market.

    I am sure Trump will fight like hell to win a second term. But
    it will be all for naught, as his Democratic opponent will be reminding
    voters that real change is needed. That he/she can do a better job
    than what they have now. IOW, make it a referendum on Trump, showing
    the American voting public that a better world awaits them.

    Oh what a sight it will be when the first openly gay president
