Houston’s openly gay mayor, Annise Parker, introduced the ordinance in the spring of 2014. Notice any similarity? hehe sorry you can’t unsee,
Hillary will ban the box, so former presidents will not have to disclose their criminal history at the start of the hiring process.
Freud would be proud LOL.
One thing most political junkies like most of us forget is that the majority of the population is not yet paying attention. They are not at all familiar with the GOP field. But they are very familiar with Hillary Clinton who has been in the public eye for about 23 years. So, when you see a poll with Hillary having a close race with say Rubio, Carson, or most of the GOP field that says one thing. The average person certainly knows who Hillary is and they want someone else even someone that they have never heard of.
I want someone to tell me how Hillary changes the minds of people who have hated her for 23 years? How does she suddenly become likeable? That by the way is why this will be the dirtiest campaign that the democrats have ever run. They know they can’t build Hillary up so they will be absolutely destroying whomever gets the GOP nomination.
Will it work?
Nope!
Trump is horrid and would make the US into an international laughingstock, but his shtick is winding down. But that was mostly his plan all along - get his brand up with an untapped segment of the market. He sees Rush Limbaugh making money and said “why not me?” And it will work - imagine the next banal version of self-help books with be flying off the shelves and “true conservative” right-wingers will be buying them up by the truckload. Hell, don’t be surprised if Zeb shows up at your door trying to get you to buy one because it will, quote, “turn you into a master negotiator” exclamation point, exclamation point, etc.
Carson seems genuinely decent, which is refreshing, but on policy and experience, he is shallow, and I don’t see him scoring points with mainstream America once he fleshes out what his actual policy positions are.
Hillary is looking stronger and stronger, not becausr of her growing strength, but because of the weakness of the GOP field. For all the people that hate Hillary, there is equal commitment among a segment of the electorate to hate the Tea Party direction of the GOP, and even people who don’t much care for Hillary will show up to cast a defensive vote against the GOP. Is the hate-Hillary segment big enough to secure a GOP vixtory? It will have to, given the GOP candidates. But it may not.

Like Obama has not already done that? Not that I want Trump to be the next President. But, Obama has already turned the US into a laughing stock and worse.
This is not only an obvious lack of political understanding it is also a lack of ability to sum up an individual. If you think Trump has gone this far and does not see himself as President of the US you are not nearly as perceptive as you think. Perhaps his candidacy began as a way to build the Trump brand. But, as he took the lead there is no way someone with such a huge ego would not entertain actually winning the Presidency.
Only if it was exceptionally profitable 
Seriously though you’ve always had a blind spot when it came to Trump. In short, you don’t like him so therefore he’s not good at anything. Pretty narrow minded on your part. Whereas my view has always been that I would not want him as President, but he certainly has been successful in business. How many billionaires are there in the world? Something like 150? To deny him credit for his great financial success is simply narrow minded on your part. To accuse me of being a blind Trump follower after I repeatedly have stated I want Marco Rubio is just a pathetic cheap shot on your part.
You are spot on with this call and that is rare for you when it comes to political analysis.
Now you are back to swinging and missing something that you seem good at. Hillary is looking stronger for three reasons: 1. There has not been any recent heat regarding her email scandal. The FBI is notorious for taking their time on an investigation. They are not looking at polls, or the media, just evidence and when they are finished she might not be looking so good. 2. Her strongest opponent is an elderly socialist…yeah she looks good against him for sure. 3. She is basking in the limelight of a loving left wing media without any one single competitor.
As for the GOP field it is the strongest list of candidates to seek the Presidency in decades. Use google be honest and you will get that one right.
You have this one wrong for many reasons. The first is that the Tea Party is not running for President. It is an entity as you know. Hillary on the other hand has the highest unfavorability ratings of any candidate running on either side…Trump is close for certain. Something else that you should know, when any candidates unfavorability ratings reach 50% or so it is virtually impossible for them to win. Let’s say that it’s never happened before. When it comes time to cast a vote for either Hillary or one of the credible GOP contenders no one will be thinking “Tea Party”. Certainly if the candidate is closely affiliated with the Tea Party you may have an argument. But it is still weak because once again people vote for the person they “like” not an entity they may have an affiliation with. They will be looking at Hillary vs. whomever and they will make their decision. By the way another swing and a miss for you!
At least Carson is not a career politician so that is one good thing you can say about him. However he comes across as shallow and inexperienced. Clinton is too close to money and power. And all her tough talk on the bankers is all bullshit she will sell out her supporters as soon as she gets into office. But morons are ever hopeful and it is too painful to come to grips with reality. It is easier to dream in fairyland.

To be entirely honest, I view the person who is not a career politician looking to get into the HIGHEST POLITICAL OFFICE OF THE FUCKING COUNTRY with more distrust than a career politician looking to get into the same office.
The latter’s motivation is obvious. The former’s is not.

Carson is well-meaning but disconcertingly naive. He definitely isn’t presendential timber.

I think it’s obvious that he wants to gain that power in order to conduct evil experiments inside the White House.

I don’t think it’s just the Iran deal that shows Obama to be anti-Semitic. I think its the way he has treated Israel for the past 7 years that proves he’s anti-Semitic.
People talk about whether he is a Muslim or not and I don’t believe he currently is. He obviously attended an anti white racist church listening to Rev. Wright preach hate for white people for 20 years. But being raised as a Muslim has definitely had its influence on him. So, in short he certainly hates whites, but probably hates Jews a bit more.
Before your head explodes imagine George W. Bush attending an anti black Southern Church for 20 years. Would one think that he would not hate blacks? So why the double standard?

Youâ??ve had an amazing career as a surgeon. Why are you trying to come into politics now? Is there really no one else who could do the job?
It certainly was not my intention to go into the political field. But after the prayer breakfast in 2013, there were so many people clamoring for me to do it. And I kind of ignored it and figured it would all go away. But it didnâ??t. And it just kept building and building, and I began to listen to people and listen to their concerns. Particularly elderly people who told me that they had given up on America and they were just waiting to die. I heard that so many times. And then so many younger people who were terrified for what was going to happen with their children and grandchildren. And then I was hearing from so many people that they just didnâ??t feel that politics as usual was going to solve the problem. So having had a career as a problem solver, I said, Lord you know I donâ??t want to do this, but if you open the doors Iâ??ll do it.
Carson doesn’t have the juice to be the President, he has a very narrow genius of being a neurosurgeon, this sounds more like him trying to feed an ego.
Trump killed SNL last night, huge ratings.
According to NBC, SNL had a whopping 6.6 household rating on Saturday night, easily beating the season?s previous high: the 41st season premiere last month, hosted by Miley Cyrus and with a guest appearance by none other than ? Hillary Clinton. In fact, Trump?s overnight rating was 47 percent higher than the Miley/Hillary episode.
Say what you want about Trump, but people are drawn to him more than the crook.

I have no reason not to believe Dr. Carson.
What I don’t understand is how you think he (or anyone outside of politics) is inherently less trustworthy because they decided to run for office later in life?
Is Fiorina less trustworthy than Clinton?
Is Carson less trustworthy than Sanders?
If so, why?

Not too much of a stretch. Remember, Romney was going to “put ya’ll back in chains.”
