I saw someone in a Facebook thread after O'Malley got in the race saying that the Dems now have their own clown car. Um no, 3 or 4 people in a car is kind of normal.

The press seem to want to out-clown the candidates.

:
Dan Gainor at FOX News.com has a detailed rundown of the times it’s been used, from MSNBC to the pages of this newspaper, by everyone from my colleagues Dana Milbank (“The Republican field is a clown car”) and Michael Gerson (“stretch clown car”) to Charles Pierce (“clown SUV”) to Chris Matthews (“I invented that term”).

on the low end of normal, if anything

but whatever, not worried this "no u!" garbage will convince anyone. it's visual. the republican debates will have 20+ people on the stage. it will look ridiculous. the democrats will have 2 or 3 on stage. if anything, it will look like too few. that's if hillary decides to have any debates at all.

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-s...d=sm_fb_maddow
:
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) actually got specific on this point on Friday, saying that British Prime Minister David Cameron told the far-right governor directly that he’s unsatisfied with American leadership. Time reported:

Walker, who has taken several trips overseas in recent months to study up on foreign policy in preparation for an all-but-certain presidential bid, told a roomful of Republican donors Friday that world leaders, including Cameron, are worried about the U.S. stepping back in the world. […]

“I heard that from David Cameron back in February earlier when we were over at 10 Downing,” Walker said. “I heard it from other leaders around the world. They’re looking around realizing this lead from behind mentality just doesn’t work. It’s just not working.”
If true, this would be a break with diplomatic protocol and a legitimately big deal. It’s unpersuasive when GOP leaders run around telling voters, “Lots of foreign leaders don’t like Obama; we just can’t actually name any.” But here’s Walker saying the British prime minister personally told him that he’s unsatisfied with Obama’s leadership.

The problem, not surprisingly, is that Cameron quickly pushed back, suggesting the Wisconsinite, who’s repeatedly struggled with foreign policy, has no idea what he’s talking about.

“The Prime Minister did not say that and does not think that,” a Cameron spokesperson told Time.

Does this "leading from behind" meme have some sort of definition? I don't even get what they mean by it. It just sounds like some vague coward-vs-warrior insult with no real shape to it.

during our intervention in libya, obama referred to his approach (planning and coordinating the effort, but having allies do a greater than usual share of the fighting) as "leading from behind". this was widely mocked in conservative media as a bunch of political bolesheeyit for being a coward, or "FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP", or maybe even secretly wanting the terrorists to win.

Some of these hopeless candidates just baffle me. Trump had the good sense not to run last time, but this time he does. Does he need the publicity more now? Is he surrounded by more yes-men now?
