I am astonished really that I would view two American politicians as entitled and of such self importance as any we have in Canada. What is worse, they actually believe that their representation of California and New York values is shared with Middle America and will somehow resonate Nationally.
It was a major first mis-step after losing so soundly and broadly in the election. It reinforced the results of the election and Illustrated that the Democratic Party is more concerned about funding sources from regional stakeholders than actually leading the nation.
Pleased to meet you ShockedCanadian and welcome to the USMB as far as I'm concerned...
btw. 2012..? ..and will the Maple Leafs make it to the playoffs?
If they do this year it will be a bonus. My guess is they probably finish just outside, if they do, it will be a first round exit to the Capitals, but a good learning process
Edit: Though I will say if I knew they would face the Habs in the first round I would be far more passionate about seeing them in the playoffs. My wife is a Montreal fan, it would be an unhappy home for awhile, but it would be a great series in terms of intensity.
If 2012 is in reference to my join date (Im assuming), I hadn't been on much for the first couple of years, but I closely followed the latest U.S election for the first time in my life really. I knew how important it would be for any candidates, and with it being Trump as nominee, well...that just raised exponentially the interest in the outcome.
Quite honestly I have learned so much about the U.S political process, your history, Constitution and the like over the last two years, it's really amazing. A clear contrast to the Canadian system and our history. I didn't realize just how vastly different our systems are in terms of accountability, transparency and diverging opinions.
