Democratic Dream Team Needed
In 2020 we need to put our dream team on the roster. We need to go ALL-IN on our best and greatest.
President - Hillary Clinton
Vice President Al Gore
Then make a pact with the American people that if we win the senate, Bernie Sanders be placed as Senate President
If we win the house - Chelsey CLinton will be House Majority leader (she'll need to run of course, but she would win)
Finally - Promise that the next two supreme court justices will be Barack Obama, followed by Merrick Garland. If get a third opening (John Kerry)
This would be the greatest roster since the founding fathers, would correct at least 3 wrongs, and put one future great leader in play, and keep our greatest leader in play for the rest of his life.
This, my friends, is doable, and out would the death knell on the Republican party for a generation.

45. Chelsey?
If someone on a Democratic board doesn't even know how to spell her name...

51. Is that the new purity test?
admittedly I haven't followed her career as closely as I do Hillary's, but on occasion my fingers do fail me.
If so I'll make sure get that into my spell check right away. Would hate to be banned over a letter.
Thank you for your attention to keyboarding quality.

There's not an ounce of fail in these people. :o
If they hadn't been robbed all of them would be leading us through prosperity right now. B-b-b-b-bu-bu-b-b-b the last 8.....
We shouldn't give up due a couple elections. We should double down and try harder. We really do owe it them.

15. An impressive amount of delusion packed into a single post. Nt

OK, three things are so astoundingly dumb in that one that they just beggar any possibility of being believed.
Chelsea as Speaker? They're going to (1) find some district for her - with no local record or elective political experience - to run in, where everyone else will just get out of the way
QuoteFranken, Schiff, Waters, Warren, Bharara, Yates
Theoretically, the speaker of the house does not have to be a member of congress. Granted they all have been, but there is no constitutional nor house rule requiring it.
It would be interesting to know if a non-congressman elected as speaker would have a vote, though.
Nope. Only the 435 elected (or otherwise state-appointed) members of the House of Representatives. But the Speaker remains second in the PLOS.
Regardless, the Speaker—who has always been (but is not required to be) a House Member and has the same duties to his or her local constituents like the other 434 Members—is at the levers of power.

Technically true but also about as likely as all the excited air molecules randomly moving to one spot in the room and starting a fire.

It was just last year or the year before when there was a little talk of making Colin Powell the speaker. That's why I recalled the possibility and legality of it happening.
You're right, he (Among others) was discussed for that, but IIRC none of the people raising this particular recurring chestnut as a serious proposition were actually Representatives from the majority party, who are the only ones who get to vote on it.
What a laughable proposition! I'll still play along...
No "Dream Team" for the DUmmies is complete without:
- Keith Olberman
- Rachel Madcow
- Al Franken
Why no black folks, DUmmies? Racists.
Terrible mole.
And Constitutionally ignorant. If Al Gore was veep, Bernie could NOT be president of the Senate.And why would Algore want to take a pay cut from the very lucrative Global Warming(TM) scam?
Cuz that'd be....
Al Gore.

You now, if Magic Jordan, or whoever could be HIV + and on a Dream Team, maybe Democrats need to get 7 or so photogenic, money-friendly disease-sufferers to pose as their Dream Team.
What would be some good sexy diseases for people to have?
Eye patches are cool, don't know if they count as a disease but I think definitely someone on the Democrat Dream Team should sport an eye patch.

#1 and #2 were Obama's.
