Jeb vs Mitt

Original post made by Menlo Shrub, Menlo Park: other, on Jan 12, 2015

Which one will come out on top? Is there a difference? Now that Christie is toast, who will the big money donors back?

"Nothing says democracy like a private-equity-manager-turned-governor whose dad ran for president facing off against a governor-turned-private-equity-manager whose dad was president over, you guessed it, the presidency."

It says a lot that a strong economy is bad news for Mitt Romney in 2016.

If he can't do it then no one can!

Mitt and Jeb are both losers. Sarah Palin can energize the base.

What base would that be, sarah? The crazed loon base?

Yes! Sarah Palin could also energize the White House hosting family parties with her brawling brood in attendance, treating the nation to weekly bloody spectacles. Four years of fun and energy -- who needs Reality TV? Who needs the Colosseum? YAHOOOOOO!

But seriously folks.... Who else can compete in the GOP primary against the funds of Jeb and Mitt?

Huckabee?

Newt?

Rubio?

Cruz?

Rand Paul?

I like Daniels, but he won't run due to family.

All you elitists are ruling out Sarah Palin, but remember that the vast majority of Republican voters are not elitists like you. Who do you think is voting in the southern and midwestern states that the Republicans have to win to have a chance at the presidency?

Oh sarah -- is that actually you, Miz Palin? -- you are truly funny. Not funny in a hah-hah way, but funny nonetheless.

Sarah Palin has about as much support in the 2016 GOP field as Ron Paul does. And he isn't running (yet).

Huckabee sounds like he is running. Just heard him call the Obama daughters devil worshippers because they listen to Beyonce.

Virginia Chang Kiraly would make a great president.

So would the Hoff - better than the Huck, at least. David Hasselhoff, POTUS. He's a telegenic idiot like Palin but doesn't foam at the mouth when talking about shooting wolves from airplanes.
