Any candidates you can think of offhand or will it be a dark horse coming up from behind that no one noticed until the fight was over and done and won?

Any thoughts?

They are the party of small government, few rules, big money (the biggerer the betterer). They were ECSTATIC when the "cut cut cut" tax bill was approved. You think that made them happy? Just wait until they gut Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and privatize all health insurance. They will be through the roof walking on clouds saying their Hosannahs. They get off on stuff like that you see. They are not like thee and me! :( less

Fail-safe should be the watchword surely? I assume those responsible for facilitating the Pearl Harbour attack were shot - or at least, received a jolly good telling-off. Of course, if Watson-Watt had kept his wacky ideas to himself we wouldn't be having this discussion. less

With nothing else there to balance it out your "truth" is all that you allow them to see. Fear does that to people. Cowards fear being found out. So they hide and deny and divert and deflect and misdirect. Once a coward always a coward. They revert to type automatically without any thought given to it. When the bell rings they automatically salivate whether or not food is there. Do they eat their own? Alas they are doing so right now. Republicans eating their own. The donjohn is devouring Republicans left and right. The lapdog sycophant Nunes makes sure the donjohn is never without Republicans to devour.. Cannabalism American style. Can you handle the truth? less

He is a disgrace and disgraces all pols. He is adored by the donjohn whom he services 24/7 day or night, rain or shine all the time. SIGH.

It is amazing at how inept/inadequate/ignorant he is about so many things. Whose palms did he grease along the way to get where he is and why in the he** hasn't congress removed him from that spot when he is clearly abusing it/misusing it/tainting it/destroying it? The Head of the Intel committe for the House should at the very least be intelligent.
