    Trivial though this sounds but I am blissfully happy that I watched the entire House of Cards seasons 1-3 before this US Election invades our media channels. No other country in the world gets as much international coverage. Mind you, the election process is pretty damn interesting though with their caucuses and Super Ruby Tuesday. Buckle up and enjoy the ride y’all.

        Doug Stamper is a complete pain in the ar$e in S3 and they’ve been criticised for this. But it’s worth sticking with it for the Frank/Claire dynamic. I found S2 quite tenuous the first time around, but once I finished S3 I re-watched S1 and S2 and found it more intricate and devilish that first time round. Despite the intriguing insight into DC politics, and being a Spacey fan, the entire series could have done with some sprinkling of black humour imo.

          You mean you paid attention this time instead of constantly checking your phone while watching it.

      she is an evil person (imo of course). That’s said maybe they’re all like that and I just think less of her cos she has been high profile.

        they’re all like that. you can’t get any power in DC without being a self-serving psychopath. but she’s the best of a bad lot.

          I don’t agree but lets’ not lose sleep over it.
          I wish for the worlds sake there was a better choice – I like people like gary johnson (new mexico) and i hear he’ll run for president again – he ran in 2012.
          He has some decent ideas

          1. Starina

            yeah he has some good ideas – esp slashing the military budget – but it’d never happen, based on how much republicans have blocked obama the last two terms. also, libertarians. they’re market-worshippers at the core. also he supported ron paul *shudder*

        So true. I read a book on the secret service and in their opinion, she was the worst person they ever had to deal with. A horrible person.

      She’s going on Real Time tonight, Bill will grill her and she’ll have to admit not running (assuming that she isn’t). It’s a shame – Hillary isn’t a bad candidate but Warren is easily the better choice.

    2. Kieran NYC

      Not a hope she’d get elected, so I think she could do more good as the ‘liberal lion’ of the Senate, just like Ted Kennedy.

  2. Odis

    Come on Hilary. She brought much needed peace and democracy to Libya, with her far sighted approach.

  3. eric cartman

    she’s being put on the democratic ticket because the republicans will win the election, so they can tell her to shuffle off after. America is thankfully a long way off electing a woman, especially one as awful as hillary

      That’s not nearly a certainty, though. The US economy has been bolstered significantly in Obama’s second term, particuarly with employment. It’ll be tighter than the last two elections for sure, but right now there’s no republican candidate on the table (or coming up to it) that’s a worthy adversary to Clinton.

      1. Eric Cartman

        Rand Paul , or almost anybody could outdo clinton, but Id really like it to be rand paul

      United States to invade Ireland after memo typo from unexpectedly elected Palin-Cruz gov’t. Dunnes Stores believed to be selling arms to US officials.

  4. Mr. T.

    And people think the Putin/Medvedev dance is suspicious. The US is doing the very same thing with the Bushes and now the Clintons.
