Morris: It's Going to be Trump, Gingrich, Huckabee, or Bachmann in 2012

You can pretty much forget about 
Romney, Pawlenty, Cain...Palin, too

Donald Trump: "the issue has become 'is there a candidate that really knows what he's doing (competence)?'... "... and when you compare a guy who's made a billion dollars from dealing with the Chinese, who's got a net worth of seven, eight, ten billion- who's created hundreds of thousands of jobs, against a community organizer... that's a pretty good fight."

"... the issue is the economy, the issue is the whole country falling apart...and our whole economy going socialist. And you can't ask for any better spokesperson for the free-market... economic laissez faire "WIN" system
-and American exceptionalism- than Donald Trump.  

If anything, he's a winner... and ultimately right now the United States needs a winner."

Michelle Bachmann: "What a refreshing candidate- intelligent, savvy... a tax lawyer... the only one who had the guts to vote against that phony deal that Boehner put down with Reed and Obama... a charismatic candidate."

Mike Huckabee:"I think Huckabee has a tremendous capacity to win, because he's really had the most exposure. He's shown himself to be a very likable, charismatic, warm, values-oriented person who's incredibly knowledgeable..."

Newt Gingrich:  "...if we could ever get Newt Gingrich as the Republican nominee against Obama in a debate- everybody would pay to buy tickets to that"

"You have the intellectual thinker... but everyone's concerned about his negatives... he's got a year."

Mitt Romney: "He's the only one I'm actually opposed to, because of his position on health care- and I think what he did in Massachusetts pretty much disqualifies him."

"I think he was proud of the bill (RomneyCare) until a year ago."

Sarah Palin: I think Palin can't get in if Huckabee runs and/or Bachmann runs... both have a superior claim in Palin's base."

"I think Palin's great... but she has so much baggage that's been piled on her by a sexist, outrageous liberal media..."

_____________________________________________

Morris also added that Pawlenty and Santorum really don't have a prayer (ironic for an evangelical lol)... too much competition out there (contrary to popular belief)- got to think that rules out Herman Cain, too.

And I would add that there is very little daylight between what Dick Morris is saying this week and my own thoughts on the race... except for that I don't find Newt or the Huckster particularly impressive as candidates.

Interestingly, he also sees Obama facing a troublesome 2012 primary challenge from a left he went and got all riled-up... only to completely disappoint them on the HC public option and in never-ending military action overseas.

Expect Dennis "The Menace" Kucinich coming hard at Obama's now-widely exposed left flank...

Believe almost nothing of what you read.

*Needs adjustment*

Believe almost nothing of what you read, particularly Dick Morris predictions........."Hillary will be the next president"........

Better.

[kempster]

This is a time for listening. Independents elected our current President and they will elect the next one. Who are they talking about? I doubt it will be any of these guys but someone will emerge that will appeal to them.

The best thing that could happen now is an opponent in the primaries for Obama. Otherwise, look for a lot of Democrats to try to disrupt the GOP primary elections.

Did anybody ask about Mitch Daniels? I can see Romney supporters flocking over to Mitch which would make him a contender

[Hattie]

Thank goodness Morris is never right. If it’s one of those, count me out.

I wish someone would post a photo of Ronald Reagan smiling and shaking hands with Tip O'Neill.

A former speaker of the house and the present speaker of the house sit on the sofa to be photographed. So what?

If you want to attack Gingrich for his stand on global warming, make the case-he has already defended his position on the merits.

[Colonel_Flagg]

So Morris chimes in - What is the exact polar opposite of his predictions? That is what will happen.

The diametric opposite of Morris would be President Palin.

#23 - WELL SAID!

[Caipirabob]

#31 - thanks for always putting that photo in your post. If I’m scanning threads, I always know to make sure I read yours!

[ejdrapes]

Michele's got my vote too. I'd love to see her in a debate with Obama. She'd clean his clock.

[workerbee]

As of now, he is the best choice of all the demonstrably conservative candidates who can get elected.

And hell's a good place to make snowballs.

[Lakeshark]

he has already defended his position on the merits

He has? What is his case on the merits?

From what I know of his musings on the subject, he's done poorly in defending what he did. Show me his case please.

[Reagan69]

Good. Looking better and better for Sarah !

[nathanbedford]

Do you feel no obligation to state your choice and your standard which,presumably, you would be prepared to defend

[LibLieSlayer]

Thank you Bob.

The only one I would even consider casting my vote for is Bachmann

Haven't lawyers in elected office made enough of a mess yet? It is imperative that the next POTUS be someone who has run a business and made a payroll. It must be someone who understands the business cycle and who fully understands what the Feds are doing to our business climate and why. Bachman is none of those things. She does have the ability to speak louder than most people in the room in broad sweeping sound bites, but that hardly qualifies her to be POTUS.

This from the guy who said 2008 would be Hillary vs Condi, and that didn’t happen.

I trust Morris’s crystal ball about as much I did Jean Dixon’s.

*Awaiting response to post #51*

Re: Newt and global warming: He has? What is his case on the merits?

From what I know of his musings on the subject, he's done poorly in defending what he did. Show me his case please.

[RockinRight]

Dick also said it would be Condi vs. Hillary.

Thoughts (just random ones):

Maybe the “surprise” Trump is talking about when/if he announces is that he’s switching parties (again) to CHALLENGE OBAMA IN THE DEMOCRAT PRIMARIES.

Interesting that Morris thinks Bachmann has a shot but not Palin. And Gingrich? Newt’s a brilliant guy when he’s not schmoozing w/Pelosi, but his negatives are so high Charles Manson could probably beat him.
