Are you seriously questioning her credentials? show me Ted Cruz's resume. Or anyone else on the GOP side. Let's see how it stacks up in comparison. I dare ya.

They can't win because there aren't enough billionaires or idiots who think the GOP actually cares about this country to cast votes for them. The RNC HQ is a corporatist whore house.

What did she do in those positions? If she sucked at them, which I contend she did, then merely serving in the positions is no qualification. Her State career is a joke. If you think that is in any way a positive thing to put on her 'resume', you are mistaken. Her Senate terms were unremarkable. And once she runs, they can pull out every subtle age jab that the Dems used against McCain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 22, 2013 -> 10:41 AM) Wanna bet on it? Who does the GOP have? A year ago, I would've said Chris Christie but Republicans seems to be leaning against him because he seems more central/left these days. You have to look good on TV? Not sure where you got that from. Cmon, you know you have to be presentable on TV to stand a chance. Obama is a hunk; Clinton was loved by all women; Reagan had that charisma even as an oldie. Hillary quite frankly looks like the B word, talks like the B word. If I were Hillary I wouldn't even campaign. I'd just say I was running. Once she starts opening her mouth and acting like the B word around hecklers, etc., it'll all be over. She sounds good in theory with the name Clinton, but she's not likeable. She's a very menacing person. If the democrats go with Hillary, they'll be nuts. She's 65 years old, will be 68 when she's sworn in?

If not for Obama's 2004 DNC speech that focused on the Iraq war and Hillary's 2003 vote for the "authorization of force" or w/e it was, she walks away with the nomination in the spring and then the general in November 2008.

Cruz/Paul would be one of if not the worst national tickets ever. I can think of at least 20 states they would run away with if the election happened tomorrow. About 15 more they would stand no chance in and a remaining 15 that would swing the election. Kinda like the last 20 years worth of presidential elections.

pettie4sox Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Duke is in the twilight zone. Republicans need an extreme facelift to deal with the America today. Their antics might've worked back in the day when it was "white friendly". However, times have changed and the Republicans are living in the past. The democrats have just evolved and took advantage of the situation. Republicans are going to need to love the blacks, Hispanics, and other minorities to even sniff being in power. Unless they can unite all the white people... then they may get somewhere... but that's just absurd. So yeah, the republicans have a lot of work to do to change their image before 2016 or we can probably expect another 8 years of democrat rule.
