Exactly, if the Dems put forth another black man, the Reps would enact the: "There's an old saying in Tennessee," *awkward pauses* "I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee that says, 'Fool me once, shame on ... shame on you. Fool me... You can't get fooled again!'" tactic.
"The Daemon lied with every breath. It could not help itself but to deceive and dismay, to riddle and ruin. The more we conversed, the closer I drew to one singularly ineluctable fact: I would gain no wisdom here."
It's all about who can raise the most money and has some seniority in Washington. Corey Booker is a juggernaut for fundraising and Joe led a coalition to stop in the Senate the madmen of W/Cheney. FEMA funds are always misused, Hurricane Katrina to NOLA are still unaccounted for, and at the discretion of the state government, so Christie is safe there. Jeb has been out of office for a while, but the GOP (or is it GOB, grand old Bush party) appears to be doing a double down on Jeb, so it might be Jeb B and Christie.
Oh, Donald Trump on the list at all, that made me laugh
Sandy? Nah, too near to related successes. The bridge scandal, that's what really hurt him.
Well, his economic performance is at least comparable to Reagan's despite starting out with worse conditions- with the only recent President surpassing them being Clinton- he improved healthcare in America, civil rights have made major strides in multiple areas, and he's done better on the foreign stage than President Bush II did.
I think you might not have learned your lesson with President Obama Why should we have a problem with a President who's outperformed any Republican President in my lifetime, despite Republicans trying to torpedo him in ways that are often actively harmful to the country? And Hillary's even closer tied to the only President in my lifetime to have done better than President Obama.
It's so hilarious the people who do that, and normally using the reason 'he had an American parent'. Just, btw, like Obama, who had an American parent *and* was born in the US!
It's like wearing a sign proclaiming 'I only used this argument against Obama because he's black.'
Obama has actually done much more to shrink the deficit than George W did, but as this article points out, we're still not in a very good position because there's been insufficient reform on entitlement programs.

Get rid of Clinton and Bush, let's see if we can create an amalgam candidate by crossing Carson and Sanders and have them run against an amalgam of Rand and Warren!
