Ill take Jeb over Hilary or God forbid Warren. No worries. The bankers don't like Warren, either, and they tell the politicians what to do. Although their epic meltdown if she somehow got elected would be most amusing.

I think you're exactly backwards on this. The bankers probably love Warren. All the new regulations she wants to impose on them will stifle competition and be grounds for more rent-seeking.

I'd like to see Ben Carson get a shot. He is the only one that doesn't make me want to grab some Syrup of Ipecac.

I've had more than enough Bushes and Clintons in my life. If somebody don't come up with something better, I'm voting thrid party or else sitting this one out for the first time in my life. I'm tired of casting a ballot for what looks like the lesser of two evils and ending up with the same old same old every time. All we get offered are sock puppets, clowns, and crooks. And I'm sick of being played by the shadows behind the masks. So I'm opting out.

There are too many excellent candidates in the Republican party to resort to another friggin Bush.

No more Clintons, Kennedys, or Bushes.
Hard for me to believe anyone is taking Fauxahontas seriously as a candidate, though....these are strange times.

At this point I'll take Bush hands down. Unless some bigger star appears. No more liberals at all.

Fauxahontas is making populist noises against Wall St an easy villian. So it makes the low intellegence voter think that there will be manna from Washington shortly.

The jury hasn't even entered the building yet After 8 years of Obama, it would be nice to have someone in there who has actually accomplished something in their life. I'll take a hard look at him if he throws his hat in the ring. Even if his candidacy doesn't transform into electoral victory, it will still be a reminder that our elected representatives don't have to come from the Senate or state governments etc....that they can be private citizens with no political history.

While she accepts huge piles of cash from them. She wants to regulate them alright. And they know combining Wall Street and Washington makes them winners.

If you are against him Ill have to take a closer look at him Don't tell me you don't know who Ron Paul's son is... but he's like his dad... and there are some things both of them stand for that I like... several things that I don't... and the negatives outweigh the positives for me...

It was not pleasant to see his presidency implode, but it was hardly suprising. Carson, on the other hand, has actually had to cut it in a place where performance, results, hard work, knowledge, competence, etc all count for something. Surgeons are not like session musicians either....they don't just show up, plug in, gig and go home. They have to be able to work with other people as a team. I think his lack of political experience will be less telling than Obama's lack of any other kind.

Not in politics, at least, not at a national level, but hospital politics can be as down and dirty as any place else. And he's accomplished something himself, not had teams build his "history" for him.
