There will be one or two crazies that stick around and get Tea Party support, too.

Well a 3rd party candidate is the only way a Clinton can beat a Bush.

We need a third party but not that third party. We need a moderate third party.

I think the "real candidates" are Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, and Rand Paul. All the other candidates don't really have any good reason to be running IMO.

Make the Tea Party the third party, and the Republicans become the moderate party.

I'm intrigued by this idea of a Moderate Party. What is its position on deficit spending? Only $600 billion as opposed to $1 trillion? How about immigration? How about healthcare?

CNS · « **Reply #608 on:** June 11, 2015, 04:49:13 PM »

We should probably add two moderate parties so that they could actually work together and negotiate. Just adding one party would probably just add more noise to the room.

Deficit spending is ok. Beats the alternative. $1 trillion is too much.

Anyone who can find work in the US can get a work visa and come legally.

Healthcare needs fixed. Obamacare isn't fixing it. We need to either address the things that are driving costs, or go to single payer.

Less defense spending. More NASA spending.

Huh. That sounds pretty liberal. No thanks.

Yeah, you would have the third party nut job you could vote for.

You don't have to be a teapot to be conservative. Tea party fanatics are like a pack of rabid in heat dogs on a week long orgy. They are either biting each other or screwing each other. They all howl at the same time.

I don't know how some of these republican candidates even think they will get on stage at a debate which I believe is limited to 10 candidates. Trump needs to stop surrounding himself by yes men that tell him this is a good idea.

It's not like that. Trump doesn't want to run, per se. But, he simply cannot ignore the deafening cries from the masses who demand that he be their President.

But seriously, the thought that he is actually trying to become President has never entered my mind. Isn't this just a gimmick for a bunch of free publicity? Donald Trump is a brand, and he wants his name repeated as many hundreds of millions of times as he can get.

Yes, this is correct.

This the quip about the Donald I have seen. King had a big impact on boxing. Trump Wil cause havoc. I would not be surprised if the rabid slobbering tea frothers rallied around him. He has an ego to go third party. Bush Sr and Perot again. I would vote for him before Hillary or Possom.
