Good things to ask a candidate

      I wonder how Hillary would score?

       If she weren't already a politician , how would she earn money?

[Xavier_Onassis]

Good questions to ask Ted Cruz, The Donald and Scott Walker.

...and Bernie Sanders & Barack Obama of course

[Plane]

I would not be surprised if the traits of a sociopath were commonly found in politicians.

Why leave anyone out?

Ask your favorites the toughest questions.

[Xavier_Onassis]

Politicians generally have some degree of charisma, and that tends to make others befriend them. That leads to scandal and corruption that would not present itself to a less charismatic person.

Dick Cheney is clearly a sociopath, and to such a degree that he was unelectable after he showed us what an evil creep he was.
But now he surely has enough money to fill a pool with it and swim in it like Scrooge McDuck.

....you mean, like Hillary.  Don't worry Xo, Sanders is catching up.  In fact, he even raised more money than Jeb, last recorded campaign cycle.  Still is dwarfed by what Hillary rakes in, but he's gaining on her, at least.  Alas, the Oligarchy may not allow it, being as how they've bought and paid for her, 10x over

[Xavier_Onassis]

Jeb! has raised more money than anyone if you count his Right to Raise PAC.

With regard to the next presidential election, there is no reason to ask Obama anything: he is not running.

[sirs]

Didn't stop the left from trying to make Obama's 1st campaign, all about him not being Bush.

[Xavier_Onassis]

They were correct Obama was NOT like Bush.
Juniorbush was the greatest fuckup ever elected president, unless you count Jefferson Davis. People were sick to death of him and his psychopathic VP, Cheney.

[sirs]

So then logically, current candidates can rightly compare themselves as not Obama, thus the is perfectly applicable to Obama

[Xavier_Onassis]

That is just asinine.The issue is questioning the  current candidates, which is one thing.
Comparing the candidates with a previous president is another. COMPARING say, Donald Trump with Barack Obama is valid.
Questioning Barack Obama as though he were running for president is another, entirely different thing.

I was not saying that they should have questioned Juniorbush along with the 2008 candidates.

You do not seem capable of reason today. Come back when you are.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander

[Plane]

   There seems to be a serious need for tough questions to be directed at ALL candidates early and late so that the public can get their gauge.

     The management of candidacy to protect them from tough questions and opportunity to make gaffes is hiding the real person behind a carefully constructed and expensive façade.


   I like the roughness that we get with the less well heeled candidates. 

[Xavier_Onassis]

Rick Perry may not be less well heeled, and The Donald is not well heeled at all. Both of them are fueled by huge egos and insufficient competence.

No one who lacks a huge amount of money is going to get the GOP nomination. In this century, this has always been the case.

[sirs]

Which apparently means that the Oligarchy has already chosen & bought Hillary over your fella.  What a shame
