He said it is going to be a politician - someone to make deals on the Capitol Hill. So presumably not Christie.

Potential GOP field looks like it might be the best since 1988.  Rubio, Jeb Bush, Christie, Jindal, Scott Walker, and Rand Paul.

Haven't looked at potential Dems.  Who other than Hillary and Crazy Senile Joe has been mentioned?

I thought it would be interesting to see what people thought when this first started out.

We can only look back and weep...


I think you're the third or fourth to dredge that up.  And there probably will be three or four more ;)

Ok, but I am not sure what is wrong with it.  You are a confirmed Republican right wing type.  You thought things looked pretty good.  Nobody could have imagined what would actually happen.  ie it was not meant as a criticism of you. Its not like there was somebody singing the praises of Trump.

All those guys looked pretty positive at the time.  Even Jeb.  I still think three of them could have done well under different circumstances.

So, moving on towards the future. What will the ticket be? Will Christie get his reward for all the grovelling and humiliation? Or will Trump get somebody palatable to the party establishment to entice more traditional Republican voters? Will he nominate somebody outrageous like Ivanka or a horse?

I say he gets the Rent Is Too Damned High guy to run with him.

Neither Christy or Guliani give him any geographic balance.  Where is that one Congressman who endorsed him from?  Arizona?

My hunch is he's going to pick a wacko, maybe from business or the military.

Not offended.  Just lamenting that you guys are already lapping up everything Hillary throws out there.  Just-- please-- if you start laughing at her jokes, do it under your breath.

I've been a Hillary fan for the last 20 years. That's not going to stop now.

He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Rand Paul is a fruitcake.  It's nice that he is socially moderate but just say the word "Fed" and he starts speaking in tongues.

What does it say that two years ago, Rand Paul was the fruitcake, and now he's actually considered mostly reasonable?

Oh, how far we as a nation have fallen.... :weep:

So I can either despair, fret and worry, or have fun.

Why would you despair, fret, or worry? You don't live in the US. :hmm:

So of course you are going to find somebody else's poor fortune entertaining.
He will have lots of fun when the russian tanks start rolling down Warsaw, all cozied up in his Paris flat, he will laugh at the morons in Poland who did not leave in time.

Oh, we'll launch an Operation Keelhaul on his ass.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

CNN reporting Trump has named Fat Boy and Uncle Ben to head his VP search committee.

How the fuck did Uncle Ben end up in Trump's camp?

Uncle Ben traded an endorsement for a sweet spot in Trump's court.

Can we please ban Martinus until after November? I can't stand watching him gloat all smugly over every state Trump wins. He gets his news from Breitbart and thinks its a nice balanced source. Someone needs to pull that guys head out of his ass.
Winner of THE grumbler point.
