Pretty much all Mormons are conservative so Romney is a lot better off than Rick is, Romney's problem is he is a very poorly programmed protocol droid.

Now that Rob Portman is out, there's nothing keeping Mitch Daniels from going all the way. Nah, seriously, I see Scott Walker getting the nom.

it's going to be christie v. clinton and clinton will win and be like obama but more neoliberal and with more drones. meanwhile the world will continue its implacable slide towards ruin, the seas will rise and the deserts will spread. eventually socialism will save us.

It's going to be Jeb Bush. He has a lock on Florida donors, California donors, Texas donors even if Perry enters, and probably New York and Wall Street money as well. It's going to be Jeb Bush as president. Get over it.

bush III is not in any way happening homedog. christie is legit the only conservative candidate with enough positive national name recognition to take a shot at it. and lol if you think jebby would pull down "new york and wall street" money before christie would.

Someone mentioned him being portrayed as the "smart" Bush, and I think that's what they will try to do. They will probably try to compare him to his father more than his brother. He will siphon off a lot of latino voters in the general as well, because he is more moderate on immigration. And most importantly of all he will have the majority of Bilderberg support when they meet and sacrifice a child to Moloch.

dude reagan -> bush I. gore v. bush II is a hell of a cockup to base an entire political generalization on.

edIt: literally out of the last three non-incumbent elections, the ruling party won one and very nearly won another. did win the other if we're going by the popular vote. this is not an assertion that the evidence supports.

obama would have to accidentally nuke no fewer than three (3) US cities before anyone non-white and/or non-male and/or under the age of 65 votes for someone with "bush" in his name again

that's the problem here dog. the right has lost the demographic battle and that's not a situation that's going to improve for them. it's actually getting worse because you're being outbred by the browns. repubs swept the midterms, of course, because that's historically not an election that anyone under the age of 65 gives enough of a poo poo about to vote in. presidential elections are different there. repubs swept the midterms in 2010, too, and obama murdered mccain in 2012 for exactly the same reason.

W has a higher popularity right now than Obama. America on average is answering the question "Miss me yet?" with an unironic "yes"

You just said Obama would have to nuke cities before people would vote for Bush. But he's already, right now, less popular than that guy everyone supposedly hates so much. I think in two years time voters will be looking back on even the W years with nostalgia. And when they think of Hillary they won't think of the good times with Bill, they'll think of what she did in her time under Obama.

Republicans will win big.

having watched anywhere up to four different documentaries set in the US and therefore being more informed than the average US voter, I can confirm that both sides will elect poo poo candidates that barely disagree on anything and then the Republican will win because a) it's now their turn and b) because all of the leftists that Obama made empty promises to will go back to voting for either Nader or neo-Nader while all of the disillusioned right-wingers will continue to vote for who they're told to because they're easily persuaded and reliant on authority figures

so they can win in only a few places as it is, having lost the white vote forever, and losing any of the minority vote is the end of days for them. the race baiting should be super extreme this next election & i'm pumped

That should be cool because the republicans are doing everything they can to be major fuckers to blacks and mexicans. They're caught in a hard place. If they compromise with the blacks and mexicans they won't get the white turn out. If they keep being bigots they won't get any minority vote. Also, they seem to think that having a cuban is relatable for mexican and south american immigrants and act confused when brown people don't like another brown person.
