” the Dem Ticket in 2016 will be Hillary Clinton and HUD Secretary Julian Castro”

lol. That’s a “send in the clowns” ticket if there ever was one.

The Republicans ought to be glad that the Democrats are too far Left to nominate James Webb, who could appeal to blue collar white voters. You know, the base voters that the GOPe routinely pisses on after each election.

“....James Webb is hardly a pacifist, but next to Hillary Clinton he is a virtual Smedley Butler: the peace candidate, a sharp critic of our Middle Eastern entanglements and their architects.

The tired old categories need a reset. Webb, who praises the “Southern redneck” as “the greatest inhibitor of the plans of the activist Left and the cultural Marxists for a new kind of society,” will be the most powerful voice in his party for drug-law and prison reform, an end to promiscuous military interventions, and closing the chasm between the plutocracy and the rest of us.

Echoing the Populists of the 1890s, especially those who sought a biracial coalition against the exploiters and the imperialists, Webb denies that “America should be governed by a club of insiders who manipulate public opinion in order to serve the interests of hidden elites who hold the reins of power.”

Nothing he writes can be mistaken for a Martin O’Malley tweet or Heritage Foundation issue paper.

It is impossible to read Webb and conclude that he has anything but loathing for the Fortunate Sons—the Jeb Bushes and Mitt Romneys—and the epicene polemicists who do their masters’ bidding. If Webb gets anywhere near the White House, these un-American snipers will deploy, but Jim Webb has faced weaponry more potent than the chicken hawks’ pea-shooters—and he lived to tell the tale.”

The candidates don’t matter for 2016. It is all about the illegal vote. It is alrewdy documented that ilegals are being registered though motor voter. Once amnesty is given more than it is democrats win. I am not optimistic.

I predict it will be two women: The Hildebeast and Elizabeth “Lie-a-Watha” Warren.

Why send a Latino Vp when you can send a Latino Prez. That should be the GOP reply to this ticket.

Ted Cruz

There is little hope for the R’s.

The machine has decided. Unless HRC drops and froths at the mouth, the media will coronate her.

That is the best that we can hope for.

There is no such things as an “unbeatable” Dem ticket this time around.

Personally, I wouldn’t mind Warren jumping in because as the far left radical she is would mean the GOP could nominate the best “conservative” candidate because given a clear, distinct choice of a liberal and a conservative, the conservative always wins, and usually big.

Also, Warren would just get added to a list that shows a law should be passed banning any future people from getting the Presidential nomination from either party: Dukakis, Kerry, Romney, Warren, etc.

One name that is not coming up because it is widely assumed he will NOT run with Clinton in the race is Andrew Cuomo. I still believe if Hillary polls weak and the other challengers can’t take advantage, Cuomo would jump in at some point.

Cuomo/Warren would probably be the strongest ticket the Dems could throw.

If it’s Hillary vrs one of our conservatives (Cruz, Walker, Rubio, etc), she’ll get pummeled in the debates.

If conservatives start nominating people based on fear, we might as well hang it up now. It continues to stun me that there are still those of us who believe identity politics would work for us. How many liberal women voted for Sarah Palin? How many liberal blacks supported Herman Cain, Allen West, etc.? How many Hispanics NOW back Ted Cruz? They are all mocked and derided as being not really female/black/Hispanic.

Just give me the most solid, capable conservative. That man is Ted Cruz, I believe.

Wake up. And find some guts. God is in His heaven and He is in control of world leaders.

An unbeatable ticket would be Hillary and Jeb.
Doesn’t matter if Jeb runs for the GOP or VP under Hillary.
