There are some threads talking about probable Democrat candidates for US President.

What say you about the probable Republican candidates?

Who can we look at with promise and hope for a good leader? 

Someone who can work with both sides of the aisle?

Anyone capable of it will be strafed by deeply partisan darlings of the far right.  Sort of like how Scrotorum went after Romney.  If the GOP wants to win, they seriously need to limit the number of debates leading up to and during the primaries.  I've never been so concerned over a vacuum in leadership in the White House, HOR, and Senate since I started voting.

It's a good time to play the waiting game.  I assume Romney will run agains on the "See, I told you so." platform. 

No one has a snowballs chance in hell to beat a Hillary/Booker ticket though.

When attacked by a mob of clowns, always go for the juggler.

Not likely.  However, he was/is a politician, so...

Booker? I like him, but he is hardly a VP candidate. I am also inclined to wait--at least until after the Nov. election.

A meeting of re-treads.  Jeb Bush could promise me unlimited hookers and cocaine and I still wouldn't vote for another Bush in the White House.

Ted Cruz, he is a new senator and was a community organizer. He sounds perfect.

Yeah, I don't think that worked out so well last time we did that.

If Obama wasn't eligible to be President, the Cruz certainly wouldn't be - for almost the same reasons - yeah, we was born to a woman who was US citizen, but he wasn't even born in the US.  Where are the birthers when ya need them....?

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.
