Dems, who will the GOP nominee be?

[hortysir]

Not who you wish would be an easy win for your party, but who do you see making it all the way to the general?

Jeb

 

[TheOldSchool]

Probably Trump. The right's all caught up in impotent rage at the moment. 2020 will be a better chance for the GOP.

 

[nuhuh]

There won't be a Republican nominee. They will argue, split the party, create a new a third party and will disappear from lack of interest.

Jeb

Why?
The $$$ or the name?
Or because if certain policy stances?

The majority of republicans hate Trump.
Hes brought some much needed discussion on hot topics to the forefront but other than that.....??

Or do you say this because of the latest polls?
2007 Rudy Giuliani was ahead, remember...

So a nonanswer from Nuhuh....

There's a lot to be said about consistency

This is different. The field will be narrowed down to 3 or 4. Trump will stay because he has control of the GOP base. It's not clear who the other survivors will be. My guess is Bush (who will gain the supporters from a few candidates who drop out), Rubio (who will poll very low), and either Walker or Kasich (who will poll even lower, though Kasich may surprise).

Trump against 2 or 3 opponents means that Trump doesn't have to win a huge percentage of the vote. He'll win enough, and then likely lose in the general election. And the right will have learned an important lesson the hard way. And they'll remember that lesson in 2020, when sanity will finally return to the GOP after 2 decades of madness.

I thank that just because it does show some thought.

All three and the traditional conservatives will not back Trump for long.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

I thought they already had.

Seriously, they have seemed downright suicidal for some years now. No cohesion, no platform, just lots of hate for women, gays, children, vets.

Rubio isn't taken seriously, there's Dead Man Walkering, The Huckster is slime with a bible, people nod off when they hear Kasich, Fiorina is a nightmare ...

I think Drumpf will quit and their nominee will be Hebby.

OTOH, who cares?

And as we saw with the applause at the debate, people have chosen to forget what Bush did to our country.

Sickening but true.

If Hebby is elected, we'll be in another war within 6 months. If its Drumpf, we'll be in a half dozen wars before he's sworn in.

 

[daws101]

Ted cruz would be the worst thing the republicans could do

Here's my prediction, and I probably won't be posting here anymore when it comes to pass, but just in case remember you heard it here first.

I predict Hillary will win in 2016, and lose in her re-election bid in 2020 where she'll get less than 35% of the vote. She will lose to a moderate republican, who does not care about gay marriage, who is not interested in revamping healthcare, and who has no interest in going to war in the middle east. And it will be good for the country.

Write it down! You heard it from TOS first!

I can agree with the 'no cohesion and no consistent platform' sentiments.
The hating this group or that group is pure hyperbole, however.

I've said for a while that we need to go back to being the "big tent" with a solid platform.
This huge field of candidates serves only to show differences and division within our own party.
We need to only have a few, with the same goals, and only different plans on how to get us there

 

[HenryBHough]

It's gonna be a 5-way race in 2016.

Biden the Democrat

Jeb the RINO

Hillary as an independent

Sanders as an independent socialist

Trump as an American.

This one will be decided by The Supreme Court.

Someday.

 

[Mike473]

This election cycle is the most anti establishment in a long, long time. I think a lot of people will be disappointed by the inevitable Jeb! vs Clinton match up. But, so it goes.

If that's the entire field look for a low-turnout record.

Not even the people who make up the current sorry ass state of the republican party are fool enough to select another Bush.

 

[hortysir]

We need an "establishment"
We're just anti CORRUPT establishment.

Trump won't get us there
And another Bush damned sure won't
