Palin/Bachman 2016. Unbeatable ticket?

[Mr. K]

Before Newt Gingrich and the GOP try to peddle this insanely ridiculous "Reince Revolution" baloney (seriously- with a straight face he said that????) I would like to get out front with what I think would be an UN-BEATABLE ticket in 2016

Palin/Bachman

They would get ALL the GOP vote and at least half the Women's vote from Democrats.

Plus they would SPEAK THE TRUTH instead of GOP-approved pablum, and -like when Ronald Reagan spoke the truth- the PEOPLE WOULD LOVE IT

[Jane Long]

Your Alinsky tactics won't work with me. You've proven that you're not just ignorant, but rude, to boot.

Good luck with "cutting off the current flow of bennies to illegals and stopping the influx by beefing up border security", though.

[ExCTCitizen]

If it is Jeb, I guess I’ll vote for the Beer Party candidate (Homer Simpson). Of course, Homer could do better then obama or McCain could.

[ExCTCitizen]

So True... that is why I think he’ll try again in 2016, if there’s an ELECTION!

[ExCTCitizen]

it looks like a cross between Helen Thomas, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Richard Bloomingthal (Moron-CT).

In other words, something a LIBERAL would love...

[Dead Corpse]

So far, all you’ve done is whine that this stuff is hard to do and that those that are purposing doing them anyway are responsible for the GOP appointing milquetoast jackasses.

Does that about sum your position up so far?

And yet because I approve of conservatives, like Rand and Sarah, taking hard line stances and solidifying the Base... I’M the one using Alinsky tactics?

Check a mirror...

[Longbow1969]

I start with the following premise- this ticket would get ALL the GOP vote,

What on earth makes you think it would "get ALL the GOP vote"? This is the party who's primary voters just chose McCain in 08' and Romney in 12'. The first problem with your premise is that a majority of Republican voters aren't even very conservative to begin with. Sure, the activists and grass roots are, but that's not even the bulk of the voters in the party. What on earth makes you think that Dem women would vote for Palin/Bachman? Where is the evidence for this? Democrat women vote largely on emotional appeals and the desire for free stuff - not out of solidarity with the sisterhood. On top of that, Palin really doesn't poll well with women outside of conservative circles. Further, Bachman flopped in her national run last time around - why would we think she'd have a better connection with voters this time around. If the ticket were Palin/Bachman we'd probably lose so bad it would wipe us out on downticket races throughout much of the country.

So... you don’t like sandwiches?

[Mr. K]

I understand that, but do you think anyone in the GOP side will say “I'm going to vote Democrat” if Palin runs?

The worst they will do is stay home- but Conservatives already did that for McLame and Romney.

So, I don't think it is a negative on the GOP side. If anything it will be a huge plus on GOP Conservatives- McLame would have lost in a huge landslide if he did not add her to the ticket.

Plus, once she speaks, she will energize people even more, like Reagan did.

Then, on the D side, there are some D women who will say “Oh- an all-women ticket? I'm voting for that” (remember we are talking about people stupid enough to be democrats. And they turned out to vote for “the first black man”

[Mr. K]

I agree with you on that- I swore I was going to go nuts if I heard her say “I will FIGHT FOR YOU” in Washington (who isnt going to “fight for me” when running for office)

She had HORRIBLE advisors last time. Whever told her to wear that white outfit on-stage, for example. She looked like Nurse Ratchet from afar.

[dforest]

You fools need to know that Bachmann is one of the only people in Congress fighting Islam and Sharia. She is also taking a lot of heat because of that from Palin’s pal McCain and fellow McCain RINO Boehner because she pointed out how Muslims have infiltrated the US Government. You should be ashamed the way you talk about her.

Palin is not doing this and she does not have a job. Palin is a nice lady, but we have problems bigger than female personas.

Book sales mean nothing.

[Mr. K]

As wonderfule as it would be for them to BE President, I dont see them igniting a firestorm. I would like to see Palin/Paul... but the unique-ness of an all-woman ticket is part of the selling point I am thinking would come into play here.

look at this grid: (which sector woudl she NOT get?)

	Male	Female
Conservatives	x	x
Moderate R		x		x
Moderate D		-		x
Libtards		-		-

My apologies. I meant it as a collective 3rd party “insane” as in “anybody would be insane” as opposed to a personal attack, you personally are “insane”.

That said, my point stands.

Your premise is flawed. It presupposes the GOP-e would ever allow the ticket. They won’t. That is my entire point.

WOULD it be a good ticket? Yes.

WILL it be a good ticket? NO, becuase we are going to have Jed Bush or another Hispanic-loving RINO shoved down our throats. The next election will be about the GOP-e moving further to the left and surrendering to Hispanic political power.

You can’t get 51% of the vote if the GOP-e sabotages your candidate, keeps them off state ballots, pours money to their RINO and withholds money from your conservative.
