Democrats don't have aNY popular 2016 presidential candidates

[Judicial review]

The 2016 GOP Clown Car has room for a few more loser passengers.

Beep Beep!

Yes, because we have more qualified candidates. Matter of numbers really.

 

[Judicial review]

Hilary is done and won't run. She's a cancer and Obama has screwed her chances by having her on his staff. Too much ammo for gop way too much.

Who else do they have? Run Kerry again who lost to George W bush, lol. He has no chance. Biden? He will pull a Gingrich and fuck up with his words and be proven to be psychotic.

Either way you look at it they don't have good candidates and Obama is screwing them worse every day they are in office.

A candidate list of gingrich, kasich, paul, bush, Christie, Rubio would over shadow them all.

2016 is over before it began. Thank you Obama for doing something right!

Well I am not confident that Hilary will run- but if she chooses to- she will get elected over any of those GOP candidates you mentioned.

GOP won't select Christie- he rode in a helicopter with Obama- the GOP won't tolerate that.

No she won't not at all. I'm 100% certain. I have a nack for these things. I've never been wrong in predicting political outcomes the last 6 years. I'm a political genius and my record speaks for itself.

I wonder how Walker's appeal will change regarding this:
Wisconsin state budget shortfall projected at nearly $1.8 billion

I'm not sure where you get any of that. Hillary will probably run, but if she doesn't, the Democrats have Warren, Biden, Malloy, Jim Webb- all of whom would make fine candidates.

Meanwhile, the Republicans have got Bush, who hopes that everyone forgets what a disaster his brother was, Christie, who is just plain unpleasant, Rand Paul who is batshit insane.

The problem with Kasich and Walker and Pence is while they are fine governors, none of them are terrible magnetic personalities.

Kasich and Walker are very likeable; especially Kasich.

Kasich will have trouble with the women's vote. Walker is unfit by being a college drop out.

I don't see it playing out that way. Voters are a bit tired of over-educated fools like Gruber, et. al.. telling them what they need and how dumb they are for not knowing it. Walker has an excellent record and he's certainly proved that he knows how to win elections.....

Here is some stark reality...the GOP has ZERO chance of gaining the White House in 2016 and will be lucky if they hold on to the Senate.

And that is not coming from a liberal...

Few things are as dangerous to a long term strategy as a short-term victory. Republicans this week scored the kind of win that sets one up for spectacular, catastrophic failure and no one is talking about it.

What emerges from the numbers is the continuation of a trend that has been in place for almost two decades. Once again, Republicans are disappearing from the competitive landscape at the national level across the most heavily populated sections of the country while intensifying their hold on a declining electoral bloc of aging, white, rural voters. The 2014 election not only continued that doomed pattern, it doubled down on it. As a result, it became apparent from the numbers last week that no Republican candidate has a credible shot at the White House in 2016, and the chance of the GOP holding the Senate for longer than two years is precisely zero.

For Republicans looking for ways that the party can once again take the lead in building a nationally relevant governing agenda, the 2014 election is a prelude to a disaster. Understanding this trend begins with a stark graphic.

Behold the Blue Wall:



The biggest Republican victory in decades did not move the map. The Republican party’s geographic and demographic isolation from the rest of American actually got worse.

A few other items of interest from the 2014 election results:

- Republican’s failed to pick up a single Senate seat Blue Wall. Not one. The only GOP candidate to win a Senate seat behind the Blue Wall was the party’s last moderate, Susan Collins of Maine.

- Behind the Blue Wall there were some new Republican Governors, but their success was very specific and did not translate down the ballot. None of these candidates ran on social issues, Obama, or opposition the ACA. Rauner stands out as a particular bright spot in Illinois, but Democrats in Illinois retained their supermajority in the State Assembly, similar to other northern states, without losing a single seat.

- Republicans in 2014 were the most popular girl at a party no one attended. Voter turnout was awful.

- Democrats have consolidated their power behind the sections of the country that generate the overwhelming bulk of America’s wealth outside the energy industry. That’s only ironic if you buy into far-right propaganda, but it’s interesting none the less.

- Vote suppression is working remarkably well, but that won’t last. Eventually Democrats will help people get the documentation they need to meet the ridiculous and confusing new requirements. The whole “voter integrity” sham may have given Republicans a one or maybe two-election boost in low-turnout races. Meanwhile we kissed off minority votes for the foreseeable future.

- Across the country, every major Democratic ballot initiative was successful, including every minimum wage increase, even in the red states.

- Every personhood amendment failed.

- For only the second time in fifty years Nebraska is sending a Democrat to Congress. Former Republican, Brad Ashford, defeated one of the GOP’s most stubborn climate deniers to take the seat.

- Almost half of the Republican Congressional delegation now comes from the former Confederacy. Total coincidence, just pointing that out.

- In Congress, there are no more white Democrats from the South. The long flight of the Dixiecrats has concluded.

- Democrats in 2014 were up against a particularly tough climate because they had to defend 13 Senate seats in red or purple states. In 2016 Republicans will be defending 24 Senate seats and at least 18 of them are likely to be competitive based on geography and demographics. Democrats will be defending precisely one seat that could possibly be competitive. One.

- And that “Republican wave?” In Congressional elections this year it amounted to a total of 52% of the vote. That’s it.

- Republican support grew deeper in 2014, not broader. For example, new Texas Governor Greg Abbott won a whopping victory in the Republic of Baptistan. That’s great, but that’s a race no one ever thought would be competitive and hardly anyone showed up to vote in. Texas not only had the lowest voter turnout in the country (less than 30%), a position it has consistently held across decades, but that electorate is more militantly out of step with every national trend then any other major Republican bloc. Texas now holds a tenth of the GOP majority in the House.

- Keep an eye on oil prices. Texas, which is at the core of GOP dysfunction, is a petro-state with an economy roughly as diverse and modern as Nigeria, Iran or Venezuela. It was been relatively untouched by the economic collapse because it is relatively dislocated from the US economy in general. Watch what happens if the decline in oil prices lasts more than a year.

- For all the talk about economic problems, for the past year the US economy has been running at ’90’s levels. Watch Republicans start touting a booming economy as the result of their 2014 “mandate.”

- McConnell’s conciliatory statements are encouraging, but he’s about to discover that he cannot persuade Republican Senators and Congressmen to cooperate on anything constructive. We’re about to get two years of intense, horrifying stupidity. If you thought Benghazi was a legitimate scandal that reveals Obama’s real plans for America then you’re an idiot, but these next two years will be a (briefly) happy period for you.

MmmHmmm......the GOP is dead!! Dead I tell ya!!

Hillary is a lock!!

 

[Uncle Ben]

I think America knows when they elect her it will be like a 2 for 1 deal. We will get Bill
back too. He will once again get the nation on a road to profitability and he was the most
beloved president that might have ever held office. A very strong family that always puts
the need of others before themselves.

Kasich has proven WAY.............................................. More than that. Even Christi or Bush can't argue with Kasich. He's they guy you let speak, and give respect to. He talks you shut up. You attack him you are attacking a very nice man and you look like a dick.

Kasich will be the next President.

Clinton Is Best Known Best Liked Potential 2016 Candidate

And that's before each other's wealthy donors drag them through the mud during the primaries (a la Mitt)

Trust me it's way too early to talk about the republicans polling about likability until the debates. Literally that close to the election. Now Clinton is fair game 2 year ahead of that time and congressional grillers will grill her all over gain on the scandals. She very well could be destroyed prior.
