#1 A lawless president and a Congress too impotent to do anything about it. Mitch, prove that you can do more than take up space. How do you want history to remember you?

#2 It is inevitable that Hilla the Hun will get away with it.

What I'm interested in is how this process unrolls given the primaries and ultimately the general election.

How much and who will it cost the Donks?

#4 Here's hoping they will have to have the last few Presidential Debates in a prison yard.

Think she won't get in?

Don't you believe it.

The biggest industries in the U.S. - government, IT, entertainment, education, finance/investing/banking - will do and pay whatever it takes to put her in the White House.

We have the worst robber baron class in U.S. history.

It will take the Republicans running a perfect campaign to even have a chance of beating Hillary Clinton. That is how degraded the U.S. has become.

#7 Question to those who know: How late can a new candidate get into the race?

I mean, Super Tuesday is less than a month away. How late could Biden or Kerry get in?

#8 I'll lay odds there's documentation prepared for such a contingency.

#9 There must be. After all, a candidate could die before election time.

#10 How late can a new candidate get into the race?

In theory, as I recall, a new candidate could step up at the party convention. The convention delegates are supposed to vote for the candidate who won their states in the various primaries (or proportionally, if that's how their state chose to go), but after the first vote they can do whatever they want -- and if their candidate died or otherwise stepped down, those delegates can choose not to vote as their candidate would have preferred.
