nobody in that picture is a leftist

The only person on the left of the political spectrum in this picture is Bernie. People have no clue what they're talking about when they talk about the "left and right" of the political spectrum. In America, it basically means the left and the right wing of the right wing since Democrats, even Obama, were on the right side of the political spectrum.

Hell, I'd argue that Bernie Sanders is currently the only American mainstream politician right now that is on the actual left side of the political spectrum, and even then he's BARELY on it.


The bulk of America's "right" is still pretty far left compared to actual rightwing nations. Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, etc, would be perfectly at home on the left side of far-left nations whereas very few people on the America's right would be unquestionably rightwing in a far-right nation. The fact that America is collectively right of Sweden doesn't suddenly make a conservative nation. Even the faux-libertarian branch of the Republican party supports massive social spending and government subsidies.

A WHOLE burrito? Well, we're going to hold you to it!

I honestly dont think he has the ability to live to the end of a second term.

This is a serious concern

If McCain had been elected in 2008 he might have died before 2016 (given the stress of the job) and you'd have President Palin

It's baffling Trump is as healthy as he is all things considered


...because it's nowhere near as serious as people keep trying to insist. And, more than likely, Palin wouldn't have served a second term as VP (because she was trying to attract the conservative base for an initial win) so even if McCain died during his second term then Palin wouldn't be in office.

Granted, Palin's political expertise was about on par with Obama's and a lot of the ridiculous quotes people attributed to her actually came from Tina Fey but American voters couldn't tell the difference.
