2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhat 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.

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.

(58,785 posts)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?

(135 posts)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.

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.

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