1. Scott Walker. Most reliable puppet of the Koch syndicate. First President elected in a rigged election. Most reliable puppet of the Koch syndicate.
2. Hillary Clinton. If I did not recognize Americans for Prosperity (for only 1% and $crew the rest badly)
3. Jeb Bush
4. Joe Biden (in case something goes wrong with President Obama)
5. Amy Klobuchar (in case something goes wrong with the health of Hillary Clinton.
A warning about #1: the next President will win practically uncontested.
You've had quite the turnaround in just the past week. Not long ago it was "blue firewall", "age wave", and:
If Republicans think Barack Obama troublesome, then wait until they see Hillary Clinton.
Now you post about democracy being "dead", and Scott Walker being more likely to be elected president than Hillary Clinton?
Everything changed. The Koch brothers are the real power in America because they provide the Orwellian propaganda that decides elections. Newspeak kills democracy.
Scott Walker is the perfect stooge that the Koch brothers could have for President. That may matter more than anything else. I wish that I could have more optimism, but when politics are as ugly as they are in America today, optimism is for starry-eyed idealists.
If I had children I would prepare them to emigrate. There may be no room for conscience, empathy, or critical thought in America -- just blind obedience to the most rapacious plutocrats who ever lived.
