Your 2016 Presidential Candidate Speculation Thread

Sr. always puts me in mind of Burroughs injunction about building up a "kind, avuncular, benevolent" image (altho obviously that applies to Reagan too)

Reagan didn't irritate him -- Reagan's asshole Fed Society staff did.

does everyone remember how peevish and childish Poppy got when criticized? His English would collapse like a sea wall.

c'mon, everyone. amend the 22nd amendment -- just this one time.

for the memories. for the lolz.

^^ that Bush could speak Spanish too, fwiw.

watching that while Sugah Daddy is playing is disturbing

he spoke Spanish like Geir speaks rhythm.

i want to have a beer with w, right now.

He speaks English like that too, bough. Xp

voting Jeb/Cruz in 2016 then leaving the country for good. so long suckas!

so you guys are charmed by dry drunks, fair nuff

i'm glad Alfred is implying that in a Jeb-Hil election, neither can win

the only time her laughing looked spontaneous:

cute, but I don't think Luke is at that level of authority yet

He's also supposedly one of the best lawyers to argue before SCOTUS in a generation.

Lil' Lindsey Graham, eh?

aw cute, he wants to be our first gay president!

I know it's a pretty open secret, but I don't know how much effort he'd put into hiding it for a national campaign—especially a GOP primary campaign.

it's more like a vicious rumor he's never acknowledged

america's first* closeted gay president

* or not

(James) Buchanan, allegedly

Talk about Abe. Just sayin' . . .

Nah. wide of the mark there.

Buchanan not just the only bachelor president, but he also honest-to-god used to share a bed with a guy named Rufus.

& cried when he died, according to the john updike book.

Abe also shared a bed with a guy. It was the style at the time.

Abe had a beard, it's true.

"this year's Fred Thompson" is a good lol

I assume this NYT headline "Can Liberal Zionists Count On Hillary Clinton?" is a joke right

“Can you smell the English leather on this guy, the Aqua Velva, the sort of mature man’s shaving cream, or whatever, you know, after he shaved? Do you smell that sort of–a little bit of cigar smoke?”

Chris Mathews is such a useless toad of a human

he is the non-Fox Colbertpersona

everyone hates the liberal zionists these days

who uses Aqua Velva in 2014

oh right the moderate Republican.

DO THE AQUA VELVA!

President Obama says he “loves” the Bush family personally and that former Florida governor and possible 2016 presidential candidate Jeb Bush has “every right” to run in 2016.

lol "every right", who doesn't have the right besides maybe Ted Cruz?

The tone of the Q was something like "must we endure another Bush-Clinton reality show?"

This shitty slap fight is hilarious. And this tweet is the best.

Senator Rand Paul ✔ @SenRandPaul

Senator @marcorubio is acting like an isolationist who wants to retreat to our borders and perhaps build a moat. I reject this isolationism.

pot, kettle

I was gonna say, isn't Rand a total isolationist re: foreign policy

he's prob using the word deliberately; i recall his dad saying a few times that the real "isolationists" were the ones who rejected dialogue and diplomacy in favor of military action in every situation

he totally is. this is just a lazy pre 2016 primary jerk off fest. I cant wait to see these idiots debate each other.

"I reject this isolationism" is such a stiff sentence, lol

my opponent says this. i reject this.

"My opponent wants to build a moat. I counter that walls topped with razor wire are more feasible."

is rubio really dumb enough to not understand that he's the runner-up Floridian, the runner-up hispanic Senator/lawyer, and the runner-up Gen X'er? whose VP does he think he'd be?

President Obama says he “loves” the Bush family personally and that former Florida governor and possible 2016 presidential candidate Jeb Bush has “every right” to run in 2016.

ARe you saying that you're threatened by a statement that someone's unthreatening?

eliot spitzer for prez

In 2016, clear choice, or clear trauma?

One outcome of and proof for ideological polarization is the way it has made stalwarts appear like centrists. In what world is Hillary Clinton — feminist heroine, author of Hillarycare, sworn enemy of the vast right-wing conspiracy — not progressive enough?

aaaahahahahaha. two sentences in!

sworn enemy Michael Gerson
