Oh puke.

It is hoped that ingenuity...especially "Ethical" ingenuity will out pace government and it regulatory bull crap.
True innovative genus needs not enforced barriers against competition...therefore putting government out of business.

And another one enters the dust...Time to call pest control...paratitis humanoitus is infesting the nation.

So true!

There may be more than one "enemy" for the fedgov to worry about since the neocons have made enemies all over the world, not to mention that some western states are also less than impressed with fedgov interference (and slavery is no longer a negative ssue for states wanting liberty.)
Bottom line is: violent secession is not good for anyone, but the threat of secession might be useful in convincing officials to obey the Bill of Rights... all of them.

I think it's absurd to talk about the collapse of society in a time of such amazing prosperity. The engine of human ingenuity is pushing us forward faster than ever. Gov't interference is a parking brake left partially applied. What a waste to drive with the brake on, but it's far from causing everything to grind to halt.

That would really make Biden look like a fool. But then, he's already there, isn't he?

But Trump would give us more time before a collapse. Sanders would cause a FAST collapse, HIllary a pretty fast collapse, and Trump would slow the process down to total socialism

Bloomberg would be a disaster, probably worse than a Sanders of Hillary. Talk about someone who would favor the Wall Street crowd....

It's self deceptive to think not voting will make any difference. Voting, and getting involved in the process develops a different mindset. Your candidate might not win this time, but it should motivate you to do more to move things in the right direction.

Just out of curiosity, why is that a good thing? I don't consider voting to be automatically a good thing. Like being a mother doesn't make you a good person.

I live in the South. We tried!

Bloomberg as independent is just awesome. Will divide the progressives, and kill the D ticket. please please!

...leading Trump to run 3rd party, electing another Demorat. Oooh, did I misspell that?

Not likely. Biden will likely jump in. He's already regretting not running.

We can only hope...

My thought? He'll split the Demo vote.

In a styrofoam cup.

I'm thinking of him running as a Democrat, particularly if Clinton has to drop out, he'd be in contention with Sanders. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

How can Bloomberg get the nomination from Sanders if he runs as an independent?

He can only help the Republicans. He can help Hillary lose and lose a billion himself, or he can step in if Hillary is indicted and lose a billion, or he can get the nomination away from Sanders and lose a billion. As a consolation prize, I recommend a 64 ounce soda.

Look at the list of those who intend, or will be called on to jump in if Hillary collapses in the polls: Biden (called on), Warren (called on), Gore (intend), Bloomberg (intend), Brown (intend). Any of those will make the Sanders supporters stay home if he isn't the nominee, and if they feel the DNC is forcing Hillary down their throats, they won't support her.

The truly bizarre case is the story about maverick Libertarians calling for Morgan Freeman to run, with Vin Diesel as his running mate. I guess they figure the Trump support is all about celebrity. If they pull this off, Hillary can kiss the black vote goodbye.

Gary Johnson running won't make a ripple with either set of Republicans or Democrats, but it will get some who were planning on boycotting the election out to vote, and that's a good thing.

Bloomberg caused me to think of reverse Ross Perot, who once upon a time sucked away GOP votes. .
This gun grabber sucker will only suck votes from the Dem candidate.

he has no chance and I doubt that he will
