If there were a Bob Dole/John McCain type lying around they'd have a pretty good shot in this election

I don't think any moderate republican would have a shot of getting out of the primary. there were probably a couple in the race but they got their doors blown off by not being able to stump the trump. that's just the new reality of the right unfortunately.

Jeb Bush (who once held a door open for me like a gentleman) was as good of a non-wacko candidate as anyone.

If Bernie recognizes:

-his model countries are moving center-right

-his model countries have huge banks

-his model countries are reevaluating their massive social welfare systems

-his model countries are beginning to lament their immigration policies

Then I might actually listen to that nut job.

No one cares old man, this thread isn't about who you don't like. We have no doubt who you're voting for in a general election.

No one cares what you think either and right now I'm not going to vote for anyone if things stay this way. 

But go ahead and continue to support a whackadoodle who doesn't even understand the countries that he wants to model the US after.

I like Kasich but a fuckload of good that is going to do

I'm presuming the '00 McCain and not '08. That would be something. I like the idea of Bernie in that he's probably the most honest and normal candidate of them all as a person, even though I think a good amount of his policies will never work as well as you'd want and let's face he just won't get the nom. Hillary is just :yuck: but my reasons for not liking her stem for the same reason I don't want Jeb to get the nod, too much familial dynasty-like stuff going on. Though seeing the right completely lose their crap when she wins will be fun to watch. She'll be an "ok" president but I could see her being a 1 term prez. Trump is fun for the laughs but not a serious candidate. Cruz is :yuck: Rubio is about the only Republican I could be swayed to like. The rest of the bottom dwellers in the race I hope GTFO once Iowa is over so we can finally focus on like 4-5 candidates and get all this garbage out. What a deplorable lack of good candidates all around.

Bernie would suck at being president.  Probably even more suck than Obama was

Keep telling yourself that, he'll end up about in the middle all time. Not spectacular, did some good things, did some bad things, but calling him a bad prez is just bitter rightwingering.

no it's a fact

That's what they said about clinton too

And they were right. Just because Bush and Obama were shitty, doesn't mean he was great.

IDK.  Just being a pest. The economy was really good. I just remember dad cussing at him a lot on our TV, that we had to change the channel by turning the knob with.

I think Clinton get's a lot of undeserved credit for an economy that was destined to boom due to the spread of the internet.

You mean like Mitt Romney? Tried that in 2012. Against a (relatively) weak incumbent. Lost. Lost even though Obama's votes were down from 2008. Lost even though he won "independents." Romney lost because his own base didn't turn out in adequate numbers.

The GOP's best bet to win the presidency is to first energize the base, and second expand the base. The GOP will get a big assist in both regards if Hillary is the Dem nominee.

I think Trump, Cruz, and Rubio can all energize the base (Cruz in particular) and can all somewhat expand the base (Trump and Rubio in particular). The primary area they can expand the base is the blue collar and even union white nonvoters and traditional dem voters in rust belt states like Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. Win these states and the electoral math get a lot easier.

I'm lost too. I do not want to vote for Trump.

Ted Cruz for President: lower taxes, undo Obama executive actions, repeal Obamacare, follow existing immigration law, stop federal funding of Planned Abortionhood, economic growth of at least 6% per year, restore American respect among our enemies around the world, a President that will finally identify our enemy as radical Islam, plus the opportunity to appoint as many as 4 Supreme Court judges and bring the U.S. constitution back into the forefront in the judicial  branch.  My personal favorite is he's the only candidate smart enough to rein-in the RINO do-nothings in Congress.
