FROM 2012 INTO 2013 POLITICS THREAD

Oh, fuck with this Ted Cruz. Yes, abolishing the IRS and ludicrous add-ons to the immigration bill the GOP needs to sway Latino voters is the true way home.

 

It doesn't matter what salt-of-the-earth Republicans think, because that's not who I was talking about. Salt-of-the-earth Democrats are conditioned to think of Republicans of any stripe as entitled silver-spooners.

 

The GOP gave us a parade of clowns last year. There's no escaping that.

 

So now it's the Democrats <i>conditioning</i> that determines who will win GOP primaries? Really? Because I don't think most of the candidates brought forward by the GOP -- aside from Reagan, who was unique -- had much traction with these Democrats you speak of.

 

Pretty sure Obama/Biden was the Democrat ticket, not the GOP.

 

A whopping three protestors show up for gun control rally in San Bernardino. Three. Whole. People.

Way to go, OFA. Yes, we can!

The Black Panthers!?! Oh Lordy, that is hilarious.

Pray tell, how many votes did the Panthers (who have fewer than 250 members) cost the GOP?

 

You even went back to edit and that's the best you can do? Pathetic.

Your beloved party put up a ticket that got trounced by those two Democrats, Tony. Deal with it already.

 

And wasn't it really the New Black Panthers, which was just 1 or 2 guys?

 

Yeah, I think you can fit the whole organization into a mini-van. Yet they were so influential they won the election for Obama - twice!

 

What a desperate effort that was. That's all you could think up?

Go right down the list of the Republican primary candidates, and it's clown after clown after clown. No wonder your Repugs blew the election. They had no faith in each other.

 

If it winds up being Hillary vs. Christie, it will be interesting to see which one of them has had more work done before the election... Hillary will have to do everything she can to try to make people forget that she'll be almost 70 and Christie will be 100-150 pounds lighter.

I think Hillary desperately wants to run. I think, at least at this point, she's the only chance the democrats have to hang on to the White House. Biden would get crushed. I don't know much about Cuomo...

The early part of the primaries does not favor a moderate republican, which I think most consider Christie. Rand Paul will be the overwhelming favorite in Iowa and South Carolina. Christie will have to win New Hampshire. Hopefully, whoever he hires to run his campaign will learn from the numerous mistakes Giuliani made in 2008.

I think it will come down to Paul, Christie or Jeb.
