I don't know. I haven't given it much thought. It could be any of the people you said, but it doesn't seem to be right. Hillary has way too much baggage and Kerry just doesn't have a strong enough presence, I think. We'll see what happens.

Well the latest blurbs I hear on the news indicate that Chris knew about the lane closures on the bridge. If true then that would seem to sideline him. Who else have they got. Please don't say Ted Cruz.

Nope. He has started the procedure to relinquish his Canadian birth rite. And let's face it, he will be so much more accepted and happier there. No you keep him, he's your kind of people.

Negative....he is the quintissential Canadian...keeping his citizenship while enjoying everything America has to offer !

Keepinbg his US citizenship. I'm sure the T party will pick up the 10g's a year for his medical plan after he leaves what costs me 648 loonies.

As a senator, he pays less than you and doesn't have to wait months for a simple MRI or CT scan.

I'm sure as a senator HE does pay less but the cost's are still there (read my post) but the difference is if I get sick I don't lose my house, my bank account, my car, my first born male child. As I say, keep that crazy system you have and keep Ted.

BTW, here in Canada most employers pick up the monthly fess in provinces where there are any.

I guess we could discuss until the cows come home what a quintessential Canadian is, but standing up in his place in the US congress and reading 23 hours of Dr. Seuss would put him a long way out of the running right off the bat. He's yours. Enjoy him.

The cost of waiting months or years for simple medical procedures is...priceless. I'm sure that Senator Ted knows that too.

We keep lots of Canadians...especially this time of the year...something about the weather being better south of the border. They stay and become mayors, and governors, and senators, but not presidents. It's in the U.S. Constitution...no Canadians as president. Probably because they would tax us to death and completely socialize our health care system.

Check how much tax you are really paying. You may want a Canadian president after you find out. With your so much shorter supply lines and enonomies of scale and a little good old Canadian let's take care of each other, your society would be much better balanced.

Balance is for schmucks....Americans (and Canadians) of means don't much tolerate that wait list nonsense. I pay less than you as my employer foots most of the bill. It is untaxed compensation.

We already have a health care president, and it's been a disaster so far. Bill and Hillary wanted to do that 20 years ago but failed.

We might wait for a hip replacement, or a new knee joint. Not so much for a heart transplant. You see in our system, it's not about how much you can pay, it's about what you need most.

That's fine for you...keep it. Grandmas shouldn't have to wait so long for such basic procedures. It's not rocket science.

There you go. Typical American blather. What do you mean by "of means"? Is that bank account balance or does it have anything to do with brains, sweat equity into the GDP, and a helping hand to those who need it? You can't pay less than me because I pay zero, because my employer pays the fee and always has done so. The horror stories of American health care are voliminous. Only a schmuck would shun balance.

We did it 50 years ago and it's been quite a success.

This thread is not about health care....a constant obsession for you. So much for balance. The current U.S. president and most candidates rejected universal single payer as a political non-starter for a majority of Americans. Enjoy it in Canada all you wish, but don't try to force it on the U.S.

Speaking of obsessions....

Guys,

Stop the thread drift.

We do not have time for a meeting of the flat earth society.
