Candidates in 2016

And How Would You, A Dem, Describe...

...Palin? :thumbs:

 

Biden is the heir apparent of the Obama administration in my opinion.

I like Gov. Jindal very much but I haven't given up on Gov. Perry. Rubio still lacks experience, and, as you know, Ryan did not carry his home state. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul seems to have a lot of ability. Gov. Christie gave a lukewarm speech at the convention, so what does he have going? Of course, it was very difficult to vote for a cultist for President and I thought that Romney was just to slow in his thinking when time mattered so much.

 

and Condie as veep? I'd love to vote for that ticket. However, I'd be very very concerned for their safety.

 

I agree with you, Jeb is by far the best from either party.
As of right now Bobby Jindal would be my pick.
Christie reminds me to much of our former Republican governor Charles Joseph "Charlie" Crist, Jr. No, as a nation we don't need one like Crist. I could be wrong, I don't live in NJ, but Christie has hit me from the first as liberal.

 

I believe all that traveling she did at taxpayer expense was just to get away from Bill: 112 countries in 4 years, a million plus miles.

 

He comes across as unduly harsh and arrogant at times.

 

If I were betting I would bet on Rubio. He is a very articulate and intelligent young man. I just wish he had more experience particularly as a governor. A Walker-Rubio ticket should be a winner. Hopefully by then the people will be sick of the Obama style of governing, authoritarian if not dictatorial!

 

It is sad that this concern for supposedly denigrating women was not expressed by the onboard liberals when it was Sarah Palin being abused, and her children.

 

You Said it....

....and I second it. I'd vote for this ticket too! It would not only be the dream team; we'd have a woman prez, and a black woman vice prez. Now that is making history, big time, and we'd see a an America worth praising! :applause:

Thanks for saying what I've always thought would be an unbeatable ticket. raying:

 

It's going to be between Goldman Sachs/Monsanto and the American people again in 2016.

I can see already you all are going to be rooting for the Goldman/Monsanto ticket again.

How many times do you have to be "neoconned" before you realize that politicians are just the middle men?

 

I'd be happy to not see the GOP run another obama-lite candidate. A Palin/Rice ticket would be that.

Ron Paul retired, who is his replacement on the libertarian front?

 

His replacement would probably be Rand Paul. And given that the GOP is made up of many many Libertarians, he might win the nomination. I think this may be a mistake though because Libertarians (generally) are socially to the left, and this might keep conservative minded Christians home on election day...again.

Personally I'm watching Marco Rubio pretty closely. So far I like him and I think the people of Florida like him. Add to that, the GOP needs to embrace the Hispanics in this country to have much of a chance of victory. I think we are seeing a clear move in that direction given the recent news of the GOP working for a new immigration reform policy.

So a Florida + Hispanic candidate may be a winner.

I'm not sure Jeb Bush will do as well. But as a vp candidate? Perhaps.
Personally I'd LOVE to see J.C. Watts as a vp candidate!

I dont think Condi will ever run.
Christie will run, but I'm not crazy about him. Too abrasive.
I think Perry got more than he wanted in the last election.
Bobby Jindal might run.
Paul Ryan could make a run as well. I like him.

Personally I'd like to see a Ryan / Rubio ticket.

On the Dems side:
Hillary has said she was tired of politics or words to that effect. But its interesting that she's retiring. She could find that a 4 year rest is enough and would be a difficult candidate to beat in '16.

Biden wil make a stab at it, bit will act clownish and not be taken seriously.

Cuomo will probably run as well. But i think the nomination is Hillary's if she wants it.

 

Well, I guess if you are one to judge another's marriage (especially one who you have zero personal knowledge of) than you are a far more significant Christian than me.

As for Secretary Clinton's travels, she has done more in 4 years as SecState than most before. Though I respectfully disagree with our President that she is the best ever, her influence and ability to broker understanding will outlast her tenure. Her travel will, ultimately, help the United States and its citizens. I am thankful for her leadership in this way.

 

He needs to be wearin' his candidate shoes out----starting right now!!!

:thumbs:

 

As much as I like him, I don't think he has the flash or pzazz and he isn't a victim of anything. Today being a minority helps but Bobby's group we don't seem to count as minority as the Chinese and a few others. But I would vote for him as well as in the last two election if he had run, I could have cast my vote for a Republican.

 

I guess 'right mind' is the key in that statement. Sadly, in today's American far too many folks AREN'T in their 'right mind'. Hence, the Obamanation.

 

Are you sure Chris Christie won't be in the Dem column by 2016?

 

Rand Paul & Scott Walker :smilewinkgrin:

 

I'm willing to lend you Paul Ryan, but you can't have Scott Walker!
