The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

Dennis Rodman endorses Donald Trump...

He also wrote, “Dennis Rodman was either drunk or on drugs (delusional) when he said I wanted to go to North Korea with him. Glad I fired him on Apprentice!”

Really glad to see CMBF help us out as a voice for moderation and balance.

Well, compared to Tex he is a moderate.

I predict that Hillary won't be the Dem nominee in 2016. Biden is going to step in and smart money will move to him in a big way.

2016 is shaping up to be a real doozy. Could you even imagine how awesome it would be to have Trump and Biden debating?

[Topper]

Interesting take. Perhaps it has already been discussed.

Joe Biden, Hilary Clinton, Donald Trump, Jeb Bush? And these are the frontrunners? (Sorry, Bernie, don't see it happening. Think Ralph Nader).

If I'm Jon Huntsman, I'm watching this all play out and then swooping in when the craziness reaches a fever pitch. Please tell me that there is a majority to be carved out from the sane Republicans and the Democrats (most of whom are only lukewarm on Hillary).

Seriously, this looks like the most depressing presidential election of my lifetime.

2008 wins that contest.

Lol. Jon Huntsman. Knock it off.

But, but, but, look at his beautiful, photogenic family.

At least half the repub candidates have a better chance than hunstman would.

[Commando]

Marco Rubio will dip his toe into the mix as well, but your candidates for next November are: Hilary Clinton and Jeb Bush.

How many of them have any crossover appeal at all? The number of Fox News viewers is white, finite, and not getting any younger. The Republican brand is in trouble and I don't see evidence that any one of them could get an independent or soft Democratic voter to switch brands.

Delusional republicans are increasingly out of touch with younger voters, who are, for the most part, generally less xenophobic, homophobic, and tax sensitive than older folks. The things the GOP touts most are the things that younger voters care about the least. Or at least it seems that way. The GOP even from as recently as W's tenure is dead. It is over. A new viable GOP has to assimilate or continue to lose ground.

Actually, I'll amend my previous comment slightly. The only guy that has even a snowball's chance of appealing to a crossover voter would be Rand Paul. And, let's face it, the number of college-aged stoners may be on the rise, so there's that.
