And no, if you would care to refresh your memory, I suggest that you go visit the old FR from back then; they were quite vicious and there were no Mods.

I certainly don't remember crying about it. That's probably good advice for anyone, frankly.

As for Duncan's oratorical skills, you're right. They're not stellar. But they are adequate. And he comes across as passionate. And come on, Hillary? She's a shrill harridan who comes across as cold and soulless. Obama? A boring, geeky, technocrat. Duncan would look fine against either of those two.

I'll vote for Hunter if he's the Republican candidate but come on...his lack of charisma and energy will only heighten the star appeal of any of his likely opponents.

You don't remember "crying" about what? Not having Mods?

Without Mods, it was VICIOUS and since Jim couldn't be everywhere, all of the time, lots of terrible stuff remained undeleted.

Oh...........never mind, even with Mods, that's happening now.

Duncan has to win the primary FIRST ( which he isn't going to do ), before he can debate whomever the Dem presidential candidate is.

Yes, Hillary has problems; however, she has been and is continuing to be coached. Give the devil her due...I've seen/heard give a few "passable" talks lately.
