If nominated wouldn't get elected.

Would never get health care passed.

That the Supreme Court would find it unconstitutional.

The Boston Red Socks would never win the World Series.

The United States would bomb Iran.

Obama would keep troops in Iran.

And so on.

What is so amazing is that they keep bringing back talking heads that literally haven't been right on a major issue in this century.

If they simply stopped listening to all of those that were 100% sure that we would find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq it would improve the quality of discussions on broadcast media by 100%.

Just like Mandela, in 30 years that they all agreed with the President 90% of the time.
