The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Obviously unconstitutional but I also doubt it was a serious policy proposal but rather a statement of how the continual campaigning makes it unlikely Congress can do anything significant to resolve issues.

It is hardly a unique position. But yes, if she was seriously suggesting we actually take steps to cancel elections (rather than that skipping one would make addressing problems easier by relieving congressmen of the constant pressures and requriements of re-election) she's a dolt.

And an inability to explain herself without the lame "it was a joke you didn't get" suggests she or her staff might be a dolt anyway.
