The GOP Five-Ring Circus

Perhaps an oversimplification, this Venn Diagram purports to place known declared and potential candidates for the GOP nomination in 2016. I'm a bit disturbed (and hurt) that my choice isn't in here....

Is this anywhere near accurate? Has anyone seen anything like this on the Donkey side (yes, I know that only three have declared over there)?

So Walker is Tea Party establishment. Got it.

There isn't enough brains between the fifteen of them to pour piss out of a boot if instructions were printed on the heel. :coffee:

And a sitting Senator isn't Establishment. :jack:

For the sake of the board could you two keep your pent up love off the board? Not that there is anything wrong with it its just that most of us are happy you two have the closeness you do we just dont want to hear the sordid details. Just give SH a rose and end the show...........

Its bad enough we have to hear about Bruce Jenner in the news, we dont need 'Horandy" out there as well.

Sincerely,

The internet

Why waste your vote and time? She won't be a candidate. She's the epitome of "damaged goods."

This. I can't think of a more wasted vote than one cast for either a Republican or Democrat.

Palin as a 3rd party candidate would be more meaningful.

Stop with the political BS and focus on the disgusting "relationship" between andy and super hornet. So what if they complete each others sentences, this sick behavior has to stop. :tothehand:

Other than a misguided sense of moral superiority, what do you get out of a vote for losers like Stein and Johnson?

The only election where my vote even comes close to meaning something is for Baltimore County Executive and my State legislature district. My state and congress district are for gone conclusions. The State goes blue regardless, and Elijah Cummings runs unopposed. Voting for the republican is as much of a throw away is as anyone else from a third party.


But I agree, Kalmy does it for the Moral Superiority.

Nothing morally superior about it. All the choices are crap. Not a single person that is running for POTUS is worth a damn. Not a single one of them. None of them give a shit about you. They sure as shit don't have anything in common with the middle class (at least what's left of it) anymore. None of them play by our rules.

Name one, truly good candidate. Hell, who was the last, truly decent candidate we had? :tothehand:

I've had exactly one of my votes count in King county elections. Seattle crushes the county vote blue as well...and a huge portion of the State.

All my wasted votes.

There might be a decent one in this fold

Remember- the Clinton attack wagon has been rolling hard the last few months and they already destroyed Jim Webb (a Dem I would have voted for in a heartbeat)

there's only one person in the current GOP crop that worries them- youd think it is Fiorina but it isnt-

look at the negative paid plant articles er I mean journalism in Slate, Huffpo and the rest of the Ready for Hillary media brigade and youll see who they are worried about

hint: one trial floater they are putting out there is that he wants to shut down higher education in his state

hint 2: D1B told me he would blow him

The exact same thing you'd get if you voted for the Democrat or Republican.


We need to switch to a Parliamentarian form of government. :coffee:
