2016 election: Hillary Clinton vs. Jeb Bush?
Politico ^ | Nov 9 2012 | Jonathan Martin and Maggie Haberman

Posted on 11/09/2012 6:40:20 AM PST by WilliamIII

American politics may be headed back to the future. Four years after the country elected a 40-something African-American newcomer named Barack to the presidency, a more familiar political order is poised to reassert itself: the House of Clinton representing Democrats and the House of Bush atop the GOP.

The restoration of either is no sure thing, but what’s certain is that Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush loom the largest over their respective parties as the long road toward 2016 begins. Any other would-be presidential candidate will first take a long look toward Chappaqua and Miami before moving forward.

I think I’d vote for Hillary, and I cannot ****ing stand her.

Hopefully, I have a fatal heart attack sometime in the near future.

Hillary will be on the SCotUS by then. My money’s on Andrew Cuomo vs whatever RINO they dig up this time.

How's this, lets just let the congress pick the next president so the people don't have to waste their time voting and being fooled thinking their vote means something. Look at all the money that would be saved and we wouldn't have to listen to the endless lying and meaningless campaigning. If congress were ever tasked with doing that and since they don't do anything worthwhile for the country anyway, we wouldn't have a president for some time and it would keep congress out of our lives for a period.

exactly... The Mayans had it right.. only it was the end of America in 2012 not the world. We don’t have a chance at winning big elections anymore, there just isnt enough people with our way of thinking. We’re considered extremists and dangerous, life just got a lot more dangerous for true conservatives here in America.

Who cares? Does anything think we have a chance at winning the presidency in 2016? In 4 more years, there will be 10 to 30 million more illegals who can vote, and they will all vote Democrat. There will be millions more parasites getting free stuff from the government, and they will all vote Democrat. The game is over, folks. They’re going to turn America into a socialist nanny state, and we will all wear shackles. Its over. We’re done. The only way we get our country back is by force when everything collapses and the welfare checks stop.

That would be the final nail in the coffin.

If the best the USA can come up with is another Clinton/Bush redux, it’s not worth saving.

Having made the decision to relocate to another country, we will miss the next two or three year election campaign, thank God.

I’d vote for Hillary before I’d vote for another Bush...

A Jeb Bush nomination would just be the final nail in the coffin of the Whig Republican Party.

“Hillary Clinton vs. Jeb Bush?”

Looks like the establishment has already picked our candidates for us. And the band plays on.

Can you say 3rd party?

The Beast must be punished for Benghazigate. If the GOP “leadership” keeps the heat on, Hussein will have to find someone to throw under the bus, and let’s make room for Hillary there.

In 2016 the Black Panthers will be appointing the next president.

I think they are planning to run Susan Rice.

I'm sorry gang, you can't run another Bush. It would be suicidal. There is a bad taste in the mouths of the majority of Americans on BOTH sides of the fence over the name "Bush". No amount of political mouthwash will remove that taste.

Bad for the nation, bad for the party, just a BAD IDEA.

That would be a tough decision for me on whom to support.

On one hand, we would get continued racial pandering, affirmative action, handouts, growth in foodstamps, expansion of Obamacare, marginalization of Christians, amnesty and open borders, continued errosion of civil liberties at the hands of the DHS and TSA, and an accelerating descent into darkness.

On the other hand, we’d have Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Choices....
