Camelot Rises: 1960 and On

[DKrol]

I like the sound of Rodham/Kennedy too, and it certainly makes 2020's primary interesting if Obama and Kennedy both run. Speaking of, what has Obama been up to since he left office in 2013?

He's been laying the groundwork to challenge Senator Mike Ditka for the Class 3 Senate Seat in 2016, as well as teaching at the University of Chicago.

Rodham, Kennedy Nominated in Philadelphia

AP -- August 4, 2016

Former President Hillary D. Rodham once again took up the post of standard-bearer of the Democratic Party of the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She received massive support from inside the Convention Center but television viewership was down considerably from four years prior due to the first Olympic soccer games taking place in Rio de Janeiro at the same time of Mrs. Rodham’s acceptance speech. She rallied her audience around her cry for a return to the policies she instituted in her administration and a promise to reform the NHS. She shared the spotlight happily with her running mate, Massachusetts Congressman Joseph Kennedy III - grandson of former President Robert F. Kennedy, who passed away days before his grandson was nominated. The DNC featured a moving tribute to the former President.

Scarborough, Sandoval Re-Nominated in Kansas City

AP -- August 21, 2016

President Scarborough and Vice President Sandoval were renominated by the Republican Party in Kansas City, Missouri. The President’s speech hit on the major accomplishments of his first term - ending the war in Iraq, the captured of Ayman al-Zawahiri, and the lowest unemployment rate in more than a decade. The spotlight was stolen by former Presidents Bob Dole and Rudy Giuliani, and former Vice President George H.W. Bush who held a panel at the convention the day before President Scarborough’s speech, answering questions from the media about their lives after the presidency. Vice President Sandoval delivered key portions of his speech in Spanish, which was seen as an attempt to sway the latino voters that the Republicans need to win over to remain in the White House.

I noticed that Jeb Bush got into the Senate about 2006, what was with that? Also how's Rubio doing? And why the heck haven't you put Paul Ryan higher than House Majority Whip? And no Speakership for Cantor? And I like that you put John Boehner in the Ohio Senate.


Just to have some questions and comments...

Just to have some questions and comments...

Jeb got in in 2012 - because there was no George W. Bush presidency to taint the Bush name.
Rubio was appointed by Charlies Christ to take Scarborough seat when he became President.
Ryan may move up, but not in the House Leadership
Cantor does not have the Speakership, Joe's got to work with Hoyer.

Clinton/Kennedy FTW!

President Scarborough Catches Flu

AP -- September 25, 2016

President Joe Scarborough has succummed to the H3N2 influenza that has swept across the nation and the globe. White House Press Secretary Bret Baier announced that President Scarborough will not be on the campaign trail for at least two weeks per the orders of his personal physician. Vice President Sandoval, who has maintained a low profile over the last four years, now has to pick up the slack and run the campaign. Former President Rodham has said that she wished the President would get better soon, but also slammed the CDC for not being prepared with enough vaccines.

Rodham Concussed, Leaves Campaign Trail

AP -- October 1, 2016

Both of the Presidential candidates are off the campaign trail under doctors’ orders. The Rodham/Kennedy campaign announced that former President Rodham has a concussion, following a very rough landing of the campaign plane. Rodham hit her head on the overhead storage bin as the plane bounced around on the tarmac of the LAX Airport and her doctor ordered her to remain at home, resting, until the 17th. This leaves the campaigning solely up to the Vice Presidential candidates, Vice President Brian Sandoval and Congressman Joe Kennedy III. On head to head polls of popularity, Congressman Kennedy leads Vice President Sandoval 59% to 41%. This could have a major impact on the campaign as the final surge begins.

Rodham Invited to London, Meets with Cameron

AP -- October 19, 2016

Former President Hillary D. Rodham, always known for having a nack for foreign policy, may have committed a major faux pas. She received an invitation to meet with British Prime Minister David Cameron, whose Conservative Party maintained a razor-thin majority in the 2015 Elections. Cameron has been often criticized in the U.S., recently, for his occupation of the Scottish Republic. Her meeting has drawn ire from Scottish and Irish Americans - two demographics she was leading with thanks to her Vice Presidential nominee, Congress Joe Kennedy III. Her campaign Press Secretary said “When you’re invited to dine with the Queen of England and her Prime Minister, you accept.” President Scarborough was invited to the dinner but had to decline due to his recent illness.

SoS Petraeus Meets with Scottish President
AP -- October 23, 2016

In a well planned foreign policy move, Secretary of State David Petraeus traveled to the Scottish Republic and met with their President, Willie Bain (Lab.). This comes on the heels of former President Rodham’s visit with British Prime Minister David Cameron. Petraeus met with President Bain at an undisclosed location, due to the ongoing occupation of the Scottish Republica by the British. They talked for nearly 4 hours and their discussion ranged from economics to Scottish independence. Their meeting was cut short by a British mortar attack, leading Secretary Petraeus to leave the Scottish Republic earlier than planned. He will now embark on a 6 country European tour.

Scarborough, Rodham Debate in Detroit

AP -- November 1, 2016

Due to both Presidential candidates illnesses, only one debate was scheduled for the 2016 Election. President Joe Scarborough and former President Hillary Rodham met in Detroit, Michigan and debated on both domestic and foreign policy. On economic matters, President Scarborough hit hard on the fact that he has overseen the lowest unemployment rate in the last 12 years. On foreign policy, he slammed the former President on aligning herself with British Prime Minister David Cameron. On domestic policy, he lauded the fact that the NHS’ individual mandate was found unconstitutional. And she hit back. She rebutted his claim of having the lowest unemployment rate as the effects of her administration. She attacked him for skipping a “important foreign policy” dinner with the Queen Elizabeth II, who is in her 64th year of reign. She chided him for not working towards a solution to the problems with the NHS. “President Truman had a do-nothing Congress. We have a do-nothing President,” was former President Rodham’s key sound byte of the debate.

It's funny how Hillary looses and then come back... But I'm still surprised on how well she is doing! She doesn't have a great record to show, does her?

She has always been personally popular, and she only lost in 2012 by a razor-thin margin. She's essentially been running for President for 4 years.

Maryland remains blank and is not counted in your Electoral College count. So, with Hillary winning Maryland, she is at 268.
