Wait, are you not aware I was just making shit up? Hahah.

Sorry I actually took you seriously for once. I won't make that mistake again.

That's awesome. I can bullshit with the best of them. Is the Free Trade Union Policy a good one? Hehehe.

You didn't make sense, which is kind of why I tore apart your point..

But never mind, you've gone into full ****** mode so meh.

Sanders would be much better than Obama. He's 74, not 90.

Life expectancy is about 78. He is the best candidate but if I was running a political party I wouldnt want a guy that is of an age where death by natural causes is so common.

His running mate will be important as thats who would take over.

Meh don't think it would be a serious concern. He's still going strong. Harrison Ford is still running around acting and he's 73. He's signed up for the new Indiana Jones in 3 years. Similar concept that clearly they have no qualms with his life expectancy. John Williams is 84 and he's signed up for movies going for the next 4 years. Similar concept again.

You can't just not pick someone because they might die. Obama could have a stroke tomorrow and drop dead. Sure the chances are higher for Sanders but it shouldn't be the decisive factor.

That was the point bro. I was having a laugh with you cos I have no idea about politics but you're just too serious. You must be a riot to hang out with.

He won't have a running mate as he won't win the nomination.

Go Hilary!

I am fine, but considering we were talking politics and you decided to join in despite not knowing anything, and trying to chat with the grown ups was annoying.

Yeah Obama could have a stroke or get hit by a bus tomorrow but it would be a massive shock. But sheer facts are a lot more 75+ year olds die than 40-55 year olds so a Sanders, Harrison Ford or John Williams died tomorrow of natural causes there'd be less shock really.

Hahah. See, now you're funnier. Kind of.

I just thought it was hilarious that it just went right over your head.

All good bro. You enjoy your adult politics conversation.

Of course. I guess I'm just using the point that elderly people are still used for projects where they have a use and are clearly the best prospect for the role. POTUS is clearly a bit different to playing Indy, and it would require Sanders to have a very strong running mate.

 

[Cooldude]

If Bernie was 10 years younger and sounded and looked more like Obama he would've had this election in the bag already

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Yeah, she was great. Fantastic chemistry with all the cast. Her and Peter Boyle were the perfect match in the show.

MARIE. WHERE'S MY SANDWICH?

I seem to be one of the very few finding it hard to be interested in the US election race.

The best of Marie and Frank youtube clips are gold.

Yep. Could not give a **** about US politics. Literally would rather take a kick to the nads. So meh to me.

I bet this guy was wishing he could get dig a hole for himself and just crawl in lol

I'm still amazed Hilary gets more of the African-American vote.

Just means there's got to be contingency plans seriously in place for them which is a waste of time and effort and money.

I seriously cant believe in a country with how many people that the best they can come up with is Trump, Clinton, Cruz and to a lesser extent Kasich & a 74 year old in Sanders. What's even more messed up is that Sanders isn't even going to win! At least his only problem is my personal view on age/leadership

 

[Art Vandelay_]

lol how's Tara Brown (60 mins reporter) having a cry about not having a hairbrush in the Lebanese prison - “I don’t even have my hairbrush in here,” she said. “Did they seriously think we have some sort of beauty salon here?”

Think you've got more pressing issues to worry about love.

Question is, who sent her to Lebanon to do the story and was she instructed to behave the way they did. Would have though the 60 minutes producer would come under some heat over this, even at a Government level.

What is he thinking though? People will be able to see over his shoulder. He's sitting in the front row lol. Surely scripted since there's so many cameras?

Yeah, they were so good together!

Who knows, but that show has turned to shit for the most part now.

Possibly, I have seen it happen though, with the earphones in though. Like wtf! how dumb can you be.

It's coz the two parties have such control over the process that any actual sensible candidate wouldn't make it far in their primaries. It's already a miracle that Bernie's made it this far

This whole child snatching story is a mess.

The dad looks like the villian but wonder if the true story will ever come out. Read today he had an interview with Kyle & Jackie O (the fact they are involved shows you just how stupid a story it is) and took the kids because he questioned his ex's parenting ability after the daughter said her mum had friends sleeping over all the time. This is has gone from 60 minutes to Kyle and Jackie O to Jerry Springer in a few weeks!

It's obviously a prank as they have cameras set up everywhere to get reactions from the crowd.

I was flicking between radio stations this morning and actually caught a bit of the interview with him. He sounded a lot more sensible than I thought he would!
