GOP already targeting 2016 bid??

[bluehenbillk]

Chris Christie tabbed to deliver the keynote address at the convention in a few weeks.

Just out of curiousity, does anyone know what night Aug 27-30, the keynote speech is delivered??

[Ibanez]

Isn't the Keynote speech on the last night?

[Grizalltheway]

His chins will look spectacular in HD.

[AZGrizFan]

His chins will look spectacular in HD.

Yep. And he'd mop the fucking floor with Obama.

[Wedgebuster]

His chins will look spectacular in HD.

Yep. And he'd mop the fucking floor with Obama.

but Obama won't be running in 2016...

[AZGrizFan]

Hildabeast might be dead by 2016.


Then again, so might Christie.

[bluehenbillk]

Hillary would be 69 years old in 2016 - too old for my vote....

[∞∞∞]

Hillary would be 69 years old in 2016 - too old for my vote....

Agreed. I think we'll end up seeing Martin O' Malley, Tim Kaine, and/or Mark Warner gun it out for the nomination. I also think Kay Hagan might be a dark horse and suddenly emerge like Obama did.

[DSUrocks07]

but Obama won't be running in 2016...

Are you sure? Wouldn't be surprised if the concept of "term limits" is...revisited.

[Wedgebuster]

Hillary would be 69 years old in 2016 - too old for my vote....

Wasn't Reagan like 80?

69 when elected in 1980.

[UNI88]

69 when elected in 1980.

I'm not ready to count Hillary out yet.

IMO, the country would be in better shape if she had won the Donk nomination. She would have told Pelosi and Reid who was in charge and gotten some things done.

What really scares donks is this.....who else IS there in their party? They don't have a single recognizable name to put forth as a presidential candidate in their entire party other than Obama. If they did, he wouldn't have been forced to choose sleepy Joe as his VP. And if they had ANYBODY who was even remotely competent with ANY experience, he/she would have defeated the golden orator in '08.

I mean, think about today's leadership of their party....Reid (73), Pelosi (72), Biden (70), Kerry (69), Clinton (65), Steny Hoyer (Minority Whip, 73)....and Obama....Conversely, the Republican party has Christie (50), Ryan (43), Jindal (41), Rubio (41), Condi Rice (58), Jeb Bush (59), Kevin McCarthy (Majority Whip, 47), Rob Portman (55), McDonnell (56), Boehner (61).

If you go back and look at who (in the donk party) ran for President in 2008, not a single ONE of them was born after 1950 EXCEPT Obama....and now they're all 8 years older. I think we may have stumbled upon the REAL issue as to why these two parties have difficulty communicating---it's a goddamned generation gap.

Your'e right, at least us Republicans still have some Bush's to run.

So you're saying one is the Grand Old Party and the other is the Really Old Party?

Would have told them what?

Don't all those old codgers realize that Ryan's medicare plan won't affect them?

[AZGrizFan]

More proof of the lack of future leaders in the donk party: Their keynote speaker is the MAYOR OF SAN ANTONIO.



WHO?



Oh, wait. I get it now. He's young. He's a minority. He has exactly 3 years of political experience. Hmmmm.....sounds like the donks have found their next "Obama".

All very true, except most of those Republicans are stuck in a time warp & they think it's still 2004 & the failed economic and deregulation policies of Bush's second term never actually happened....

Because the economic and stimulus policies of Obama's first term have worked SO well....
