Nah, she arranged and presided over the catastrophic* merger of HP and Compaq, laid off a ton of people afterwards, took HP into a downward spiral, and then got fired herself for it all. (If HP has improved since then, I don't imagine Trump would give the credit to Fiorina)

Trump likes "winners." She probably doesn't qualify.

* or so every article I read said, until people stopped writing articles about them, or they stopped showing up in my news feed

So I watched Trump's foreign policy speech.

It was actually competent. I was expecting rambling ad-lib speeches like the past few of his speeches I've seen. It seems like he actually knows what he wants to do in regards to foreign policy.

Dammit deep south.......

It may have been competent in a sense, but it was still a collection of conflicting statements and competent =/= coherent.

Good ol' alabama. Like georgia, except without any upsides.

Yeah, when asked to sum it up in one word on the national public radio this morning the president of some american security policy association or something like that chose the word "incoherent". It definitely sounded like it might have made sense, but there was a lot of missing and conflicting pieces as well as just an overall "we're going to stop doing this so let's do my thing instead" without any real source backing up the idea that his policies will perform any better.

Much of the discussion – and laughs – focused on Boehner’s views on the current presidential candidates. Segueing into the topic, Kennedy asked Boehner to be frank given that the event was not being broadcasted, and the former Speaker responded in kind. When specifically asked his opinions on Ted Cruz, Boehner made a face, drawing laughter from the crowd.

“Lucifer in the flesh,” the former speaker said. “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”

...

When it came to the Democrat primaries, Boehner asserted his belief that although Bernie Sanders has put up a significant fight, Hillary Clinton will win the nomination over Bernie Sanders. While stating that he disagreed with Sanders on all the issues, the former Speaker also called Sanders a nice guy and the most honest politician in the race.

...

Boehner also speculated about surprises that could come closer to the Democratic National Convention if Hillary Clinton’s emails became a larger scandal.

“Don’t be shocked … if two weeks before the convention, here comes Joe Biden parachuting in and Barack Obama fanning the flames to make it all happen,” Boehner said.

...

At the end of the discussion, Kennedy re-focused the talk by asking Boehner who his political heroes were. In his answer, Boehner re-emphasized his own relatively moderate stances within the Republican Party.

“Well you know I’m a big fan of Ronald Reagan,” Boehner said. “But I love all these knuckleheads talking about the party of Reagan. He would be the most moderate Republican elected today.”

Yeah, Cruz was a much bigger enemy to Boehner than even Obama. Cruz shut down the government simply to satisfy his ego, and his antics pretty much led to Boehner losing power. If Boehner had a chance to sneak in a provision to an ISS launch contract to do a surprise test on the effects on the body of Ted Cruz being fired out the airlock, I have no doubt he would have done so.

Yeah, I'm convinced that he'll just make the US go default the first chance he gets and then bask in the hatred lobbed at him.

Anyway, an interesting thing this morning, the Trump vs Clinton head to head shows a tie, but then again, theres a pretty big percent, 16% of the total, that would vote for some other candidate. Not neccesarily unified under a single candidate.

Where the heck is a great third party candidate this year?.....

[Strife26]

There isn't.

The self proclaimed greatest runs with the Republicans.

Someone has probably already seen this but I had to share:

There isn't.

Yet. Independents don't have primaries. All it takes is one person individual with enough money to get into all state elections without using party funds getting disgusted at the options. Could be Warren Buffet, Larry Page, Elon Musk, or Oprah Winfrey. Could you imagine a race between Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and Oprah fucking Winfrey? It would be amazing. And hell, I'd vote for her. I'd vote for any of those people and like it.

What's terrifying about that photo is that it looks so...uncannily natural. I mean, it's still unnerving, but it's not a clear photoshop job; it's almost as if Trump had undergone MtF transition.

Now you're just making things up. Gary Johnson is even more fictional than Thrawn.
