Well don't you think some Republicans are gonna jump on that bandwagon for
the sake of keeping Hillary out.

Committee, much less get passed into law. You'd be amazed by the
idiotic things that get proposed.

I would hope not - that would be a very un-Republican thing to do.

Republicans would welcome a Hillary nomination. Even Quayle'd beat her in a
landslide.

States can decide how it's voted for, though. It doesn't necessariliy mean
a popular vote, no?

Shouldn't? That's tough to say.

There's another election before this would ever be ratified, so what are you
trying to say? You must be confused.

Check the constitution, there are two ways to add a new amendment...
First it has to pass by a 2/3rds majority in the House and Senate then
it's turned over to the states. 3/4 of the states have to vote for it.
That means 38/50.
Alternatively 2/3rds of the state legislatures could call for a
Constitutional Convention and re-do as much of the Constitution as
they'd like, but it would still be subject to a vote of 3/4 of the
states (plus such a move would be unprecedented, nobody knows how to do
it or what the ramifications would be.)
In short, the founding fathers made it hard to screw with the
constitution intentionally. It shouldn't be modified willy nilly (flag
burning), for a specific person (Bush, Clinton or Schwartzenegger), or
based on popular social morality of the time (18th amendment).

Not clear. Despite Republicans' bizarre primitive fear of her, surely
you've noticed the constant stream of news stories on how she's been
winning over many of them simply by working hard and being honest and
straight-forward?

A "constant stream of news stories" written by the liberal media. Sorry, I
don't buy into the latest talking points media onslaught, particularly when
it deals with as fictitious a subject as an "honest and straightforward"
Hillary Rodham Clinton. Hard-working I'll give her, but for all the wrong
reasons.

Hmmmm... not too hard when you lock out the media from your appearances when
they wouldn't be flattering.
Free press?

This is true and in fact I'd expect it to not be a popular vote. The
founding fathers weren't big on popular votes, that's why we have the
representative system and electoral college.

A politician who works hard, is honest, and is straight-forward?

Typical bs from Fred. Any perceived slight to his beloved Republican party
and he is compelled to post a personal attack.
