- A potentially worrying outcome is a significant portion of these folks become Dem voters and drive the Dem establishment even further to the right than it already is.
Then the center left is homeless (the far left has always been homeless in US politics so no loss there).
Jon Stewart PresidentHe's not a horror show, he'd probably make a great president frankly.

Bill Maher Vice President
When did that happen?Maher has turned into (or, probably more accurately, revealed himself as) a fucking lunatic.
About the time the vaccine came out ... or maybe a bit earlier with the islamophobia.When did that happen?
Lol who says he won’t drop his pantsI wonder if Trump were Nikki Haley, would he sit in a private booth and flash his supporters one by one for their votes?
Maher seemed to be mostly concerned with how it makes America look that weapons made in the USA are being used by Israel against Arabs.

Bill Maher Vice President
Not to derail the thread but that article is from 10 years ago. How the world looks at Israel vis a vis Gaza and Palestinians in general has completely changed.
At least Maher seems a bit sane on the topic of Israel.
When did that happen?
Not to be too much of a pedantic ass, but POTUS is a civilian positionI think I prefer Bill as a civilian.

It's all part of his massive "real threats of retaliation against anyone who opposes him after he get elected so you better shape up now" program.Dump’s threats to “blacklist” Haley’s donors (whatever that means) totally sound like they’re coming from a position of strength.
I'm pretty sure 'support me or I won't support you in the future' is core, protected political speech.It's all part of his massive "real threats of retaliation against anyone who opposes him after he get elected so you better shape up now" program.
Why can't he be barred from running due to basically threatening to do something bad to people who don't vote for him. Should be some sort of law, no?
You and I both know what he's really saying.I'm pretty sure 'support me or I won't support you in the future' is core, protected political speech.
Yes, he's threatening her with retaliation unless she bends the knee. I mean I hate Trump but that's pretty standard politicking. If the idea is that he's inciting violence against her I hear you but I don't see how anything there would be explicit enough to be encouraging imminent lawless action or whatever.You and I both know what he's really saying.
Yeah Hillary and Nancy didn’t get under his skin as much as Haley has.I have to admit it is enjoyable watching Trump lose his mind that somebody else, worse a woman, is basically pulling a Trump on him.
He's threatening anyone who gives her money/support, not just her.Yes, he's threatening her with retaliation unless she bends the knee. I mean I hate Trump but that's pretty standard politicking.

Right - but why would that be illegal?He's threatening anyone who gives her money/support, not just her.
That’s not illegal, no. It’s only illegal if it’s something you would otherwise not have a right to.Last time I checked, blackmail is usually illegal. A threat something bad may happen to you if you stop contributing to my campaign. Just call me silly then.
