Your 2016 Presidential Candidate Speculation Thread

Because gabbneb can't do it himself

clinton beats rubio in 5 games

fp ILE

Vote Morbz

HRC the inevitable Dem nominee as long as she doesn't run on an "inevitability" platform again.

I felt like I didn't waste 5 minutes of my life reading about Hollywood preparing to shower HRC with gold bcz of the finish:

“Last time, the community was really split down the middle between Obama and Hillary,” said (Rob) Reiner, a steadfast supporter of Mrs. Clinton’s. “This year I think everybody is going to be rallying around Hillary.”

Asked why, Mr. Reiner said that in addition to Mrs. Clinton’s record: “There is nobody else.”

Forever Meathead.

Mr. Katzenberg, who joined Mr. Geffen and Steven Spielberg in arranging a $1.3 million fund-raiser for Mr. Obama at Mr. Geffen’s Beverly Hills estate in February 2007, also said he planned to throw his weight behind Mrs. Clinton the next time around.

“If Secretary Clinton makes the decision to run, I expect she’ll have near-unanimous support here,” Mr. Katzenberg wrote in an email. “Hillary represents our best chance to win in 2016, build upon the successes of the Obama administration, and keep the country moving in the right direction.”

"right direction" is apt

In Clinton, New Look at '90s

On the Media had a segment on prez race gabbnebism this weekend

Biden seems to not even be mentioned as a candidate. I wonder who gets to sit down and tell him he will never get the job.

Hillary Clinton's name recognition and fund-raising ability will most likely scare off the majority of her potential competition. There will still be a few other democrats who make the race, but they'll probably be running shoestring campaigns that hope to make a big splash in Iowa & NH to open up the money spigots for them. Nobody but HRC will have a credible national organization unless Obama loans someone else his rolodex and his top campaign aides. If a big name (such as e.g. Cuomo) is looking to enter, they are doing it very, very discreetly.

The republican side will be a free for all and very entertaining.

Also, depressing.

Are You a Scott Walker Conservative? Why Wisconsin’s governor may be Chris Christie’s toughest competition in 2016.
Add his name to the hat I guess.

lot of smartish conservatives been pegging him as a dark horse for a while. anyone ever heard him speak?

wonder what a president biden would actually be like.

BFD, obvs. Also, ice cream.

(I know he cultivates that image to a degree. Crossed my mind, though.)

haha, that's perfect!

I heard him speaking about his 240m worth of self reliance medicaid plan on npr and the dude was as charismatic as an envelope

ie scott walker

Walker is against abortion in all cases. Buh bye.

Bernie does some talkin'

More Gillibrand in the NYT today

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/07/us/politics/new-yorks-junior-senator-doggedly-refusing-to-play-the-part.html

She's a strong VP candidate at worst

"worst" certainly applies to this robot

Man, it hasn't more than a 15-20% chance of happening if that, but great doomsday entertainment would be watching this guy and HRC eat each other alive in the general election.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/26/us/politics/rand-pauls-mixed-inheritance.html

And I think there really would be acts of murder and cannibalism between their supporters.

It's still HILLARY!

if you meet me in DC i think i can get hold of Dennis, alfred

how can you be excited to vote for Hillary?

I like her personally, I'm excited to vote for a woman for POTUS, I think she'll hew closely to my beliefs about foreign affairs, she's kinda an ass-kicker which I appreciate, etc.

why do you think she is an "ass kicker"?

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/audio/video/2013/1/23/1358956313048/Hillary-Clinton-testifies-011.jpg

idk, she's just a badass. i like her. i'll enjoy voting for her.

seriously dreading this election

Any other candidates with airports named after them? Didn't think so.

every POTUS henceforth will hew closely to yr beliefs about foreign affairs, I read it in Revelations

not least because even though i'm usually a 'hold my nose and vote for the democrat' guy i don't know that i can bring myself to vote for anyone who voted for the iraq war

so you say but obama has been a bit of a disappointment in that area xp

i'm voting whoever cranks up Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions. I'm guessing Line N.

oh that's good

Do we need another thread to carry us through fall? This one's long already.

I guess we could make it "official"

Official Statement from Neil Young:

"Donald Trump was not authorized to use "Rockin' In The Free World" in his presidential candidacy announcement. Neil Young, a Canadian citizen, is a supporter of Bernie Sanders for President of the United States of America."

Lol

We have a thread for that btw

I say we keep this thread going until all the Republicans have finished announcing.

Vice President Joe Biden has still not ruled out a 2016 presidential run and will make his intentions known by Aug. 1, according to two Democratic sources who have been in contact with his family. While the loss of his son, Beau Biden, last month paused any political planning by the vice president, the sources tell U.S. News that family members have indicated a White House run is still a possibility. He plans to announce his decision sometime prior to the beginning of August. Dick Harpootlian, former chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, says Biden previously indicated to him he would likely make up his mind in July.

He's been doing that for 27 years, and I still don't view him as more than a personable talking head on the MacNeil/Lehrer newshour.

Warren > Bernie > Chafee > HillaryDynasty > JebDynasty > the scary ones.

I was thinking that surely it hurts Chafee to have crossed the floor but then Reagan switched allegiance too (earlier in his career). Also Rick Perry.

We've got a new thread, crew:
