this means nothing if he is still willing to caucus with repubsā¦ While their presidential election rhetoric sucks, congress is where they act out this bs.
if he is cool with it in congress, he should enjoy the Convention.
I suspect most in Illinois feel the same, and donāt fall for this window dressingā¦
āHead-in-Sand Extinct āModerateā Republicans Avoid Rearranging Deck Chairs on Titanic.ā
Better headline.
Kirk will be too busy losing to attend.
but I thought chicks dig it when a guy shows vulnerabilityā¦ does this mean heās passing on the womenās vote?
Florida Gov. Jeb Bush Ā® has also said he will not attend.
This practice of referring to ex office holders as if they still hold their position is weird. Florida has a Governor. It is not Jeb Bush. Is Illinois Senator Barack Obama our President?Republicanism, the love that dare not speak its name.
@steviedee111 If Iām not mistaken, one of the last former presidents to not be called Mr. President when he left office was Theodore Roosevelt, who was again called Colonel.
He can only caucus with them if he holds his seat. Which is looking increasingly unlikely. 
Yeah, according to Miss Manners, former officeholders are addressed by the title they used to have. Sorta reminds them of the heady days before they became irrelevant (like Bush) or had a huge impact on the world (like President Obama).
As far as Kirk goes (and I hope he goes verrry far), heās soon to be addressed as Senator Kirk, but in the irrelevant, GTFO, way.
Hey, the still called him The Governor in The Walking Dead, even after he lost his town, right? 
Whats the rule for multiple office holders? Like why is it always Madam Secretary instead of Senator for Hillary?
I know. Still weird. Jeb walks into a room. Itās full of people from other nations. A friend with him walks him over to the Defense Minister of Malaysia and says, āIād like you to meet Florida Governor Jeb Bush.ā Um, okā¦
as a sitting senator, he could stop caucusing with them now to show he is seriousā¦
as he wonāt, heās not.
I guess we can agree on somethingā¦
Most recent. So HRC wonāt be Madam Secretary, but Madam President in a few months.
Too busy with his campaign, heh? If the convention were being held in his own living room, heād be too busy to attend. If were being held on his own campaign bus, he would be busy campaigning elsewhere.
It is wildly incorrect to address former elected officials by the title of office that they no longer occupy.
For example, Bill Clinton may be referred to as āformer President Bill Clinton,ā but he is addressed as Mr. Clinton.
The honorific title of Mr. President is reserved for the current officeholder.
This is also true of any other elective office.
Itās not a courtesy to call them by a title they donāt hold.
Oh my God, Iām shaking, I donāt care so much what the GOP does. This canāt be good for me.
Look, if they stick with Von Clownstick, older polls have Clinton wiping the floor with him by between 12 to 25 percent. The most recent polls I have seen have her beating him by at least 11 percent.
If they go with Cruz, polls show Clinton beating him by at least 10 percent, and thatās just if he gets the NOMINATION. Cruz is hated so much by the GOP leaders that they will work about as hard for him as Jeffrey Daumer worked on his anger management problems.
If they go with Kasich, the GOP will go, āwho?ā
Paul Ryan has said he doesnāt WANT the fucking thing. I donāt know about you, but members of the Clinton campaign have got to be short-stroking it at the thought of running against a guy who doesnāt even WANT the job.
If they go with a dark horse, like they did with Garfield in 1880, most of the GOP voters will simply check to see whatās on TV instead of making an effort to go to the polls.
As long as we cast a ballot, it doesnāt MATTER what they do.
also higher office usually takes precedent.
however preference is a factor. I believe AG Mukasey went by judge mukaseyā¦
So if Cruz is elected President the correct way to address him would nevertheless remain āThe Face of Godā I guess.
Well, I thought it would be āMr. Shitkicker,ā but āFace of Godā is about right.
