All the ones currently running for president yes, especially the leaders. There may be some obscure third party candidate that I am not familiar with.
Now Rand Paul would be one example of a non elitist politician I suppose but he isn't running.

You guys are way more politically savy than me, what's worst things Trump has done/said?

What's the worst things Elizabeth Warren has done/said?

How about Tulsi Gabbard? Are there big undeniable skeletons in her closet?

I mean, we gotta vote for someone. Here are the people I absolutely cannot vote for:

Anyone named Bush (two's enough)
Anyone named Clinton (one's enough!)
Pocahontas Warren (her PC BS hypocrisy stinks to high heaven)
Bernie Sanders (seriously, are we that far gone as a nation?)
Joe Biden (ugh)
that mayor of a small town
the nut who wants to give everyone $1000 a month (that's all 1/2 the country needs to forgo honest employment)
Vladimir Putin (he's already the dictator of Russia)
Donald Trump (unless one of the above is running against him)

Anyone have Joe Leiberman's phone number? or Pat Buchanan?

Tulsi seems like the lesser evil for the US public.

According to Clinton She's a Russian asset alongside Mr. Trump.

I think this is a product of internal DNC infighting, remember how Clinton got Bernie purged in 2016 and how (apparently?) Tulsi had none of it?

Mr Quatro · 10-29-19, 08:34 PM

Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State to Obama, still has secrets that will come out sooner or later with or without Russian interference.

Almost down to one year till the voting, uh?

rename this the circus thread ...
Why don't all of those highly paid corporate CEO's run for POTUS?

I think I already know.

Gawd please tell me, why? Is it maybe that it can't be run like a business by design? You know, checks and balances, n sh**!

So if I read this right apparently all the Russians have to do to sink an American politicans candidacy is to have some of their bots show support for one or more of their positions. The victim doesn't need to want the support, may not even be aware that it is happening, but if played right it seems to be quite effective.

Welcome to the world of online reputations. There was an episode of The Orville that touched on this.

There's a big deal here in the States about "the Russians controlling our minds through Facebook".

Your reading too much into it, All any politician has to do to be labeled a Russian asset, is to run afoul of Mrs. Clinton or her friends in the DNC.

Very true! Clinton supporters can't figure that out for themselves.
