Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted August 17, 2015 OK this poll is a bit out of date re the Republican side but with Hilary still showing strong I thought here might be the best place to put this list. If you look at all the living presidents, former presidents and vice presidents first and second ladies the total comes to 20 which is precisely what you would need for a DDP team. I will not be entering this team so it is a freebie to anyone who wants it Jimmy Carter Rossalyn Carter Walter Mondale Nancy Reagen George H W Bush Barbara Bush Dan Quayle Marilyn Quayle Bill Clinton Hillary Clinton Al Gore Tipper Gore George W Bush Laura Bush Dick Cheney Lynne Cheney Barack Obama Michelle Obama Joe Biden Jill Biden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted August 17, 2015 When it comes to Democrats, I don't know if I support Hillary or Bernie. I think Bernie will make a better president, and I agree with his policies, but the man just doesn't seem like he can do much... I doubt Congress will want to cooperate with him.Hillary, on the other hand, seems to untrustworthy... I think I'll support Biden if he decides on running.But who'll win the primary? No idea! When it comes to the Republicans, I think Donald Trump will win the primary. Possibly Jeb Bush or Ted Cruz. But I don't care, they all suck and I hope none of them win the election.

Hopefully Trump will not win the Republican nomination and run as an independent, that way he'll split the vote. But the Democrats also have a problem like this - a lot of Hillary supporters would never vote for "that socialist Bernie", and a lot of the Bernie supporters would never vote for "that corporate slave Hillary" because "she's no better than the Republicans". So we will probably lose a lot of potential voters.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just like we never heard of Sarah Palin or George Bush ever again. owait Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted January 11, 2016 DEMOCRATIC Clinton: 75% Sanders: 20% O'Malley: 5% REPUBLICAN Trump: 25% Cruz: 20% Rubio: 20% Carson: 10% Bush: 10% Fiorina: 5% Carson and Fiorina are toast and even 10% is a generous odds for Bush at this point. And O'Malley probably only is the Democratic nom if someone assasinates Clinton and Sanders The GOP is probably reluctant to give the nomination to outsiders like Trump or Cruz. That gives Carson, Bush and Fiorina better chances than the polls indicate. I think O'Malley has a chance (albeit tiny) because if everybody's going to be fighting over Hillary and Bernie, maybe they'll just be like "Oh, FFS, we'll just give the nomination to the Irish bastard" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted January 28, 2016 speaking of trump. Im british but it does seem to be gathering momentum for him... could he actually win? that might finish a few of the weaker ones off. The BBC did quite a good overview of the 11 candidates in the Republican race. Iowa and New Hampshire will probably see off up to 5 of these and it then when we will see whether the polls can match the votes on the ground. A lot will depend on whether Democrats who elect to vote in the Republican primary think Trump offers a more beatable opponent for Hillary than anyone else.

rockhopper penguin 2,265 Posted January 31, 2016 To basics: Trump is against big Government but wants to deport illegal immigrants.Unless he thinks Fox will sponsor a game show of 'hunt the immigrant he' will have to use federal taxes to pay for it = federal employees, bureaucracy,taxes = man's an idiot. As all other republican candidates have refused to confront Trump they can successfully be attacked for lack of .... well anything substantial really. Which leaves the door wide open for a privileged white woman with the scuples of a circus fortune teller.But hey,that's America....gotta love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted January 31, 2016 speaking of trump. Im british but it does seem to be gathering momentum for him... could he actually win? that might finish a few of the weaker ones off. he is n ow virtually certain to be the republican nominee.i don't think he can win the election in November though, unless Hillarys indicted or something, or its Bernie Sanders instead.
