OK, to avoid posting a vanity :-) let me turn the question around. If those of us who would prefer not to have a Democrat in the White House in 2017 could pick the Democrats’ 2016 Presidential ticket for the same purpose that they would like to pick the GOP’s ticket—i.e., ensure that the Dem ticket would go down in flames—who, among the reasonably possible candidates (not Debbie Wasserman-Shultz, etc.), would we choose?

the mob likes him or he wouldn’t have become governor of NJ so what does that tell you?

Meanwhile, Christie remains the Democrats’ favorite possible GOP candidate. That could help him in a general election.

Right. Any Republican who is the nominee will be tarred and feathered. Look no further than McCain and Romney. Two liberal Republican squishes. By the end of the election, by the time the media and Dem operatives (but I repeat myself) got through with them, they were damaged goods.

I wonder if Lurch will make another run for it.

“... a liberal Northeasterner in an increasingly conservative party.”

Is the GOP “increasingly conservative”? I’d like to think so, but would need some evidence to really feel good about it.

So is Mitt Romney, John McCain, Peter King, etc.

Anyone who is guaranteed to lose the POTUS race because they are either way too moderate(McCain, King, etc.) or way to Progressive Liberal (i.e. Romney)

Joe Biden. He’s stupid and being a white male he is automatically in a group that does not like him and which it is OK not to like. The real question is what designated loser are the RAT organs going to pick for us , again , this time?
