The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

Can you name a significant issue the republican party hasn't screwed up in the last two decades? Whatever nostalgic Reaganesque view you have of the GOP, it ain't it anymore.



No. I don't vote for classless demagogues, no matter what the political affiliation.

I am NOT a fan of the current generation, but the GOP is less likely to increase taxes, less likely to increase government regulations, unlikely to impose infringements on the 2d amendment, less likely to grow the government as fast as the Democratic Party, and more likely to nominate Supreme Court justices I can stomach. It's not a long list but it is a list. There is nothing which the Democratic Party does that addresses my major issues in the manner I'd like to see.

This is perhaps the first time I've seen anyone claim consistency as a quality of Kennedy's. Bravo.

It's not a right -- left consistency, but a consistency on the issue of government overreach. Both lefties and conservatives want government overreach when it favors their position. State government laws banning gay marriage is a pretty good example of government overstepping its limits.

The Supreme Court is the ONLY thing I can think of that would give me a reason to vote for Trump (well, that, and the HUUUGE entertainment value, perverse through the entertainment would be). I'd like an unbiased review of each of the candidates. And how do we know he's serious about these and that he won't change his mind, claim they were simply suggestions, and then nominates one of his goombahs? Other than his quest for money and his love of the Trump brand, has shown lifelong fidelity to any principle or thing?

This is a legit reason to consider Trump. I've also been waiting for the list and look forward to reviewing the names. His choice of VP will also receive consideration.

Yes, the VP will be both revealing and, perhaps, helpful. I don't think he'll pick Christie (dumb move if he did), but I'm curious what Christie wrangled from Drumpf for his still-weird endorsement.

Is Martinez worth the gamble?

Christie would be an amazingly dumb choice.

Trump released a list of potential nominees he would vet for Scalia's spot on the Supreme Court in the unlikely event he actually becomes the president. Tom Lee is on the list.

Tom Lee is cool! Back in 05 at JRCLS he dressed up like Napoleon Dynamite for Halloween and did some of the Napoleon dance on top of the bench. Perfect Scalia replacement.

Please God take her. She has presided over new lows in the history of New Mexico.

Hmmm. For some reason I thought Mike Locksley preceeded her administration.

I know very little about her but coming from a communist such as yourself that may be a good endorsement. I liked what I read about Gary Johnson too.
