Yeah, way early, but that's why we do this.

Mine - Cruz and Carly. No idea how/when Trump bows out. Trump will endorse Cruz.
 
Rand Paul and Justin Amash
 
Trump and Cruz versus the criminal clinton machine with crazy ***** from massachusetts.
 
Cruz and Rubio.

Wow...that's a scary thought. The Hildebeast and the Indian squaw.

Could Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren win the White House?

th


Scary stuff indeed
 
Trump and Cruz are too similar for the same ticket, makes no sense, they draw the same voters. Cruz and Rubio would be nice...
 
I've been thinking all along that Rubio will end up the nominee. That seems less and less likely. His gaff on illegal immigration and the recent inability to show up to vote against the omnibus bill may sink him. He is the most gop establishment candidate left, except for Kasich.
 
My prediction is it doesn't matter. Get used to hearing Madam President. It is going to happen. Anything else is a pipe dream.
 
Cruz/Rubio, Rubio/Cruz make the most sense. But. I keep feeling like whoever gets the nod is going to want Carson tagging along to sweep up the Evangelical base.

In any event, Trump's independent run torpedoes them both and Hildagard wins in a landslide.
 
You guys, and OFTB, who continue to just dismiss Trump are in denial. At this point he could bend his wife over the podium at a rally, go to town while humming the Star Spangled Banner and his poll numbers would double.

People don't want politics as usual any more. The folks who run the GOP don't recognize this, or if they do they picked the wrong damn side to be on.
 
Before Trump, I thought it would have to be something like Rubio/Kasich, Kasich/Rubio. That combo had great potential to win in Florida and Ohio.

Trump changed everything. The only message now is Nationalism. And every GOP candidate that is still running on the old Reagan/Bush/Bush platform and still thinks this is "normal" politics is being left in the dust. As much as I dislike him, Cruz was smart enough to see it coming and has not pinned himself into a Tea Party corner. He's been vague enough on the Nationalist ideal to kind of start agreeing with the rise and garner votes.

Cruz is the only one left that can beat Trump and it really comes down to what people will do once the curtain is drawn. I think lots of people want to vote for Trump and love the message, but are they really willing to pull the lever and admit to their friends 5 years from now they voted for Trump when/if he completely goes off the deep end or admits this was all a hoax. Cruz has positioned himself to be Nationalist Lite with a bunch of religious mumbo-jumbo mixed in.

Obama and the liberal/educated elites constant apologizing for being America has created this. People are fed up. And Trump has unabashedly and crudely gotten up on stage and basically said... "I am proud to be American. I am proud to be a man. I am proud to be white." And he's not apologizing for anything that comes along with that.

The GOP either gets with that message or it will get run over by the Trump train.
 
It all comes down to Super Tuesday primaries. Iowa and New Hampshire are such odd states that they typically don't predict the final outcome. Believe it or not, I could see Trump (assuming he gets the nod) choosing Kasich as VP to win the much needed state of Ohio.

For those who think Hildebeast is inevitable, I wouldn't be so sure. I don't think she will pull the voter turnout for Dems all that much. I know a lot Dems who despise her. It will come down to turnout, no matter who is on the ticket.

You have to remember how presidential elections work. A candidate can be more popular than the other candidate but still lose if she isn't popular enough in the right states.

I don't think the movement to elect the first woman president will be as strong as the movement to elect the first black president across just about all demographics.
 
I think if Trump wins the primary, he'll pick someone completely a surprise as his running mate. I don't think he'll pick any of the other Republican candidates.
