Re: Republican nominee for President
 

When about half the voters find a candidate not trustworthy or honest,[url=http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/17/politics/poll-2016-elections-hillary-clinton-trustworthy/]Poll; Clinton honest trustworthy problem extends to swing states - CNNPolitics.com[/url], and yet that candidate is the party's bell cow, it's kind of laughable to throw rocks at the the other party's primary candidates that haven't even been given the nod.

"I think that anybody who is still really close to their best friend from grade schools is by definition trustworthy," Bill Clinton told CNN this month
.....Good enough for me

Re: Republican nominee for President
 

Just curious, would you guys rather have another Bush in the White House or another Clinton?

I would rather have neither if that's an option.

Re: Republican nominee for President
 

That's not an option. Humor me and play along. I'm no big Hilary fan but to me the choice is obvious.

Re: Republican nominee for President
 

It's a choice like Arsenic....or Russian Roulette. They both may take you to the same place but there is at least some chance of success with one over the other.
Jeb.....

Re: Republican nominee for President
 

What's the definition of success then? Not sure how any rational person can compare the family resumes and come away thinking the country is better off with another Bush. But I guess if you dig war and recessions bring it on.

I do not have time tonight as other commitments hinder my progress. I'll take the time tomorrow to.....smite you righteously.

Re: Republican nominee for President
 

unfunded war with (potentially) unfunded tax cuts! balance that budget - yeehaw!

I'd also go with neither, unless we're talking bush sr and bill, in which case i'd vote reagan.

Re: Republican nominee for President
 

I would define success as the resolution to some of the more pressing issues this country faces.
Not necessarily in this order or limited to the following:

Border control/immigration
Budget Deficit/Debt
Foreign Policy/Middle East
Unemployment
Tax Code
Reduce the FED

Makes no sense to parlay the choice of Bush/Clinton as neither is on my radar
AND to stick the war thing on Bush is...absurd

I absolutely don't believe that HC will be the democratic nominee or that JB will be the republican one. Those two names win the early headlines simply because they are names. But Hillary will lose the Democratic base just like she did to Obama, in 2008. And Bush is running at best 4th, and he's not picking up Trump suppporters after Trump is gone.

I don't know who will come out and beat Hillary for the Democratic nomination, but my guess is a new candidate will emerge shortly and be the touted as "true" heir to Obama's policies

Re: Republican nominee for President
 

in September 2007, Real Clear Politics polls showed Hillary with a [URL="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/democratic_presidential_nomination-191.html"]42 to 23 point[/URL] lead over then Sen Obama.

Right now she has a [URL="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/2016_democratic_presidential_nomination-3824.html"]43- 24 point lead[/URL] over Sanders.

not the war part, the unfunded part.

I absolutely want neither. But I think Hillary would do the better job

Re: Republican nominee for President
 

Personally, I would vote for Dr. Ben Carson. He seems to be the most intelligent candidate, and like Trump, seems to be disconnected enough from the political machine to actually make sense.
