INTUITION

GW Bush was elected partially because he was the president "you could have a beer with" and of all the Republican candidates, I think only Jeb comes to that moniker:

- Trump: Dude's a massive billionaire, he wouldn't come close to my peasantry.
- Carson: Neeeeeeerd. Also, holy hell that would be the most low-energy conversation ever.
- Cruz: Would spend the entire conversation avoiding the subject at hand.
- Fiornia: too high class for beer. If I were a middle-class bootstrappin' Republican man, she'd be out of my league.
- Rubio: Stiff, and would prefer non-alcoholic beverages.
- Huckabee: would probably begin ranting about the gays as soon as he had a beer in him.
- Christie: A serious contender. He'd probably complain too much about his fantasy football team's performance, though.

On the other hand, Jeb seems like a decent dude that if you got a few drinks into him, would probably admit he's only running because he wants to keep the family name, and would lay down some truth.

Of the presidential candidates, I think Bernie, Hillary and O'Malley are all viable drinking buddies (provided Hillary brings Bill along).

If you could have a beer with any candidate, who would it be? Bonus question - name the type of beer.

Lindsey Graham would get super weepy after one beer.

Huckabee obviously. He is already crazy as gently caress, so I can't imagine what opinions he has that he is keeping quiet. A drunk Huckabee would be all "gently caress the blackies, bring back slavery" or something.

I think Bush won because his opponents campaigning skills were on par with Jeb! But I'd think Donald "The Trump" Trump would be down for a nice hoppy IPA. Bernie seems more like a weed sort of candidate, maybe it would calm him down a bit.

I think Jeb! would be a sad drunk and a major buzzkill. I think Rubio might be pretty fun, though.

Edit: Also, Trump drinks Miller High Life because the advertising says it's classy

Fiorina would have a glass of wine and then later on tell in detail about the IPA she had at that gathering to others.

Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.

This year's Dems are all terrible for this particular challenge. It's a shame because Obama and Biden are both great picks even if Biden doesn't drink.

Christie or Graham are the best for this. Trump is the world's most surprising teetotaler, Fiorina is terrifying, Jeb seems on the verge of collapse, Cruz would sneak out and leave you with the bill, and Rubio's meh.

Joe Biden drinks, just non-alcoholic beer.

Obama's choice of beer is bud light, smdh

If Biden were in the race, definitely Biden. Otherwise... Bernie Sanders or maybe, maybe Hillary Clinton. I feel like Clinton would be no fun, but there's an ever so slight chance she'd loosen up after a couple of beers and be a real hoot.

Last night I have a dream that I was at a fancy cocktail hour, and met George W. Bush. I went up to introduce myself, because hey he's a former president, who wouldn't want to meet one? He shook my hand, and I asked him how Jeb was doing, and he took his wine glass and splashed it on me saying to never use politicians for personal gains.

I'm starting to think maybe Jeb isn't the best candidate to get a beer with.

Webb.

I also think that webb should be the next president. He was *the* 'good guy LT' in vietnam.


Also when he was A.Sec. Def. he looked like a SNL cast member

And now the navy uses his forehead as an aircraft carrier.
