Should Cruz or Rubio get the nom look for the paulistas to go after either of them. Big time.
It is very likely that there will be four major candidacies (maybe five) in a replay of 1860.
We are that divided.
A conservative (a trucon) nominee is a certainty. Probably not the Republican nominee, however. Money’s on Cruz, with Mark Levin as VP.
A socialist (communist) nominee is also a certainty. Probably the Democrat, after a bruising primary. Money’s on O’Malley, with DeBlasio as VP.
The GOP will nominate a dark horse RINO. Try Kelly Ayotte. She’s for free over-the-counter birth control and cannot be re-elected to the Senate running against Maggie Hassan. She will choose Ben Carson for VP to prove the GOP is not rayciss.
Donald Trump will run as the successor to Ross Perot. That’s four. He’d love to run with Sarah, which is a possibility.
Five will be the Party of National Salvation, HRC-Jeb or Jeb-HRC.
If we get out of this mess with only 600 000 dead and only 1/3 of the nation in ruins, we’ll be very lucky.
