So I’m sitting here kind of mellow and thought I’d share my thoughts on the current crop of presidential/vice-presidential nominees now all coming forward.
I include this “vice-presidential” thing because do not be fooled, they are auditioning for this part, especially one who would be perfect for the job, more on this later.
Okay, the Republican possible/probable contenders. NJ’s Christy, Rubio, Cruz, Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorino, John Kasich (who threw in his bid this very Sunday morning), Lindsay Graham, Walker, Mike Huckabee, Donald Trump..
Ted Cruz is going to get the nomination, I predict. Bearing in mind I’m right on predictions about as often as Dick Morris.
I think Carly Fiorino would be a perfect VP choice for any of the guys currently trying to get the nod. I really do.
I know she’s from California, suspect that right there. But she’s bright, speaks well, could be a nod to the nutty GOPe. Meanwhile Carly’s got visions of a presidency in her mind and it’s time, like it of not, for a woman to be president. And it ain’t gonna be Hillary, give me a break.
I like Rubio though he shot himself in the foot with his immigration stance. There’s way more to our immigration issues out here in la-la land than the GOP Blue Blood elite want to try to understand. If he somehow could recover from that gaffe I rather like Rubio.
I mentally have Walker in a tie with Rubio but I dunno, Walker has immigration mumble-mumbles in his past. I’m sticking with a tie between those two in terms of odds.
Donald Trump is a publicity hound, don’t tell me not. John Kasich is seeking a quick and slick VP nomination. Mike Huckabee, hey I really believe this guy got fired from Fox due to his Saturday show not doing too well. To save face they allowed him to say he’s running for President and he HAD to quit the Fox gig.
Christy of NJ could slip into (well he’d need a little grease) a VP slot....I bet Christy imagines himself as a Dick Cheney sort, the scary behind the smile.
I’m saying Lindsay Graham is looking for a VP slot or maybe a gig on Fox news.
As for Jeb Bush.....he’s formidable, I’ve no doubt. He’s got the bucks. If he could somehow get a VP that helped calm the base....well even with that I don’t think he’d make it. But I dunno...a Jeb Bush/Ted Cruz ticket? It’s a stretch but only something like that would have me voting for Jeb Bush.
That’s my take on the Republicans.
Want to me to do the Democrats?
Here's an idea—this is for the entire Bush family...
Hey, Bush clan, you've done so well! Not one but TWO Presidents of the United States! What an honor. Unbelievable—like a fantasy come true.
BUT—two is enough. Look, there are 320 million people in the United States. I know most wouldn't want to be president, let alone do a good job in that role, but your great family has done enough. Time for new blood.
For you and your family, live it up! You can sit on the deck at your fancy Maine mansion over looking the ocean, ride around in expensive boats and fish all summer long.
In winter you can ride horses in South Texas or Florida and sip Pina Coladas on Palm Beach or Padre Island while the rest of the Northerners freeze.
You don't have to work! You've got millions of dollars—maybe billions in your family fortune. Buy Babs, Mom or Granma--whatever fits--new pearls. Have some fun with your money! You already have what 99.999 percent of the rest of us do not. We thank you for your previous help running the country, but your time has passed and your philosophy has drifted to far to the Left.
