What is your dream GOP ticket?

It's tough. I want to say Trump/Cruz 2016. That would be truly FUN. But I think I have to go with Trump/Palin 2016 with
Trump/Bachman a close second. Trump/Cruz 2016 gets my third place finish.

Ideally, Palin/Bachman 2016 would be truly wonderful.

However, as to whom is actually running for the top spot, I'll stick with Trump/Palin as I'm sure the looney bin wolf shooter would again accept a place on the ticket.

If we stick to just who is announcing for the top spot for both spots on the ticket, I'll go with Trump/Cruz 2016. Wouldn't that just be a hoot.

If it was Trump/Cruz, we could call them Rat Head and Looney Bin Shutdown Boy. So FUN !

If it was Trump/Palin we'd call them Rat Head and Idiot Gal.

If it was Trump/Bachman, we'd call them Rat Head and Wild-Eyed Crazy Lady.

This would make my day.

It would be the best thing since I went to an independent-run Lieberman for Senate rally...and as his supporters were chanting "Go Joe Go! <pause>" I was chanting "Far Far Away!" during the pauses.

The Democratic Party has no need of Center-Right scum.

Cruz's amoral cynicism sharing a platform with Santorum's tunnel-view Christian fanaticism. They'd probably make Romney-Ryan look functional by comparison.

Only problem -- Cruz is the only candidate who scares me. I've been watching for the kind of charismatic leader who could mobilize the destructive worst in us for a long time, and he seems closest of all who've come along so far. I don't really even want him as close to the presidency as the clown car.

And Rand Paul's hair-where to start?

I think the Dems will definitely beat anybody except Rand Paul. If it's Rand, it will be a toss up IMO. It will depend on the Democrat. If it's Hillary, Rand would steal Democratic voters. Any other GOPr will get slaughtered.

They could have some great intra-campaign debates on gun control.

But wait ... Zombie Reagan is redundant. Sorry.

Carson/Cain
Santorum/Bachmann
Ron Paul and son
Trump/Taitz
Cruz/Jindal
Palin/Putin (yes, I know that Putin can't run for US president)
Ryan/Christie

It's hard to choose.
But Bush lll/Walker being a ticket would be a snoozefest.

after they deadlock between the Wall Street boys who think they run things and the crazy religious people who think they run things.

My dream ticket is their inability to put up a candidate.

The Republican core will pick the people who pander to them. That is why I have hope for the future.

... "Under Investigation" and "About to be Indicted".

Actually I saw this proposed by some right wingers. Looks great to me. Not a chance in hell that ticket would fly.

Because he can see Canada on his birth certificate, and she can see Russia from her house.
