The Next President of the United States

[Rexas]

I know I am guilty of confirmation bias but when you get results like this I do think the next
President will be a woman.

Trump has energised more and more women to get involved in politics and have their say.

I think this is a strong prediction, will depend on who runs. If Michelle Obama runs I think she's got a reasonable shout, I'd think it's too soon for her to have a shot but she might just be riled by Trump enough to have a crack at it. If it's another Hilary Clinton type candidate I think it will be much closer, and by Hilary Clinton type candidate I mean openly smug, arrogant, out of touch and openly representative of "the system".

That's an odd word. Who would use a word like that?

Had to google that one Mint, for anyone as uneducated as me:

"A star that is used to guide the course of a ship, especially the pole star."

For me it has to be a progressive candidate , Kamala Harris , Elizabeth Warren or someone who we haven't heard of yet.

I just can't see Democrats going for the tried and tested safe option of a centrist/moderate type.

These Mid terms are going to be fascinating viewing .

Fairly impressed by the level of pettiness in this.

I didn't make it clear that it's an excerpt from the NYT piece by the anonymous White House vigilante, so the inclusion of that word points at Pence. Probably a false tell included deliberately to confuse.

Step 1: "I am the secret resistance to Trump" - Anonymous, NYT

Step 2: "Why Trump fired me for Trying to Save America" - Mike Pence, ALL GOOD BOOK STORES Spring 2019

Step 3: "Why I am running against Trump to Save America", Mike Pence, July 2019

Step 4 "Why Trump fired me for Trying to Save America" Twenty Pence, Oxfam, August 1919.

[MintTrav]

Pence is the only person in the White House that Trump has no power to fire.

John huntsman is leading contender for the op-ed....

Plus deep throat lawyer just got interviewed on CNN and he gave same name .

Reckon in the next 48 hours were going to find out for sure.

Barack Obama in his speech said he wants more women in charge .

Always loved the guy.

He needs to endorse Elizabeth Warren for him to reach God like status though.

Kamala Harris has done herself a lot of good in the Kavanaugh hearing, the last big Senate event before the mid-terms officially kick off the already-running Presidential race, and is now the clear favorite to win the Democrat nomination (which usually means they don't get it).

Cory Booker also performed well, but has a lot of ground to make up.

Cory Booker spent 23 minutes of his 30 minutes allotted time talking.

Suppose Americans will like his rhetoric but a bit over the top for me.

Agree Harris did well and put Kavanaugh in a few tough spots for a change.
