You are reasoning about this without considering key inputs. It doesn't matter much who "the Establishment" wants if nobody in the base votes for them. The selection process is very much one of mobilizing the base of the party because the outcome is determined by votes of party members, not some secret backroom committee.

There is a wide variety of good Republicans candidates running. Bush has to fight his way through them if he is going to be the frontrunner.

I don't think you post here often enough. I encourage you get get an account and post under your own name so that more people can enjoy your insights.

Bernie Sanders is a self described socialist. It means the same as in Europe. Political parties in Europe use the world socialist.

Your claim about Libertarian is nonsense. Perhaps you are too busy. You might want to slow down long enough to at least get some of the facts straight.

Is There a Libertarian Case for Organized Labor?

For some reason that comes across sort of like: "I can quit smoking anytime I want, .... I've done it a thousand times."

Have the Democrats nobody better to offer? Seriously?

Sorry, but nutters will be nutters, and the nutter Left loves to use that term. You have apparently never listed to the fringe Left media. Mike Malloy, among others, loves that term, and it isn't being used sarcastically.

.... the Obama administration doesn't seem to have much interest in extraditing him (and executing him (as the conspiracy theory goes)). A future Hillary Clinton administration, on the other hand, ....

There were articles of impeachment of President Nixon moving in the House, the first was voted out of committee. The only reason Nixon wasn't impeached was because he resigned.

In your case it works both ways. :D

We seem to be safe for now, the vendor of the IP is only including visual recognition, not audio.

The vendor of this IP claims their IP is far more power efficient. That could be important for many applications, or scalability.
Delivers 1000 GOPS/W with 5x better power efficiency than GPUs

They're offering high perfomance, low power, low cost IP cores that can be combined with other IP. This will make it easier and cheaper to integrate that functionality into other devices.

Your post has nothing to do with the thread and post you responded to. It is a non sequitor, an injection of a political attack against conservatives into the discussion. To correct you, "Bob" isn't making a point, he's making an argument, and a specious one at that. His writings in essense are a polemic which is riddled with errors or distortions from what I've seen. Oh, and what a surprise, it was written during the height of BDS - Bush Derangement Syndrom, of which he seems to be a carrier.

So if we are recommending literature that might provide some illumination on the qestion of authoritarians, there is a book that is far more useful and factual than Bob's book. You can find a review here and the book here.

Thanks, you've just demonstrated my point, pretty much exactly. Can we get some chants for Articles II and III? I'm sure that will be far less popular, but highly relevant.

You can chant "4th Amendment" till you're blue in the face, as is common here, but if the issue at hand isn't covered by the 4th Amendment then the 4th Amendment is irrelevant. Even if the 4th Amendment does apply, its application may not be what you expected.

The 4th Amendment to the US Constitution is simply law, not a magic talisman able to repel all things people here find unpleasant.
