2016 Presidential Election Poll No. 2

The question is, which GOP members would stand to be with Trump on the ticket? By that criteria it looks like Trump's choices are down to Gingrich and Christie. I think Carson has already said no.

 

Nobody with any credible chances to be on any future GOP ticket. Nobody wants to sign on as the first mate on the Hindenburg.

 

I'm rooting for Newt. And myself as SECDEF.

 

I think Tim Kaine makes the most sense, and he'd be fine with me.

And I have to say, I don't get the Julian Castro thing at all. That resume is a joke for a presidential ticket.

 

Kaine has an askew eyebrow which is troublesome.

 

Kaine would be a safe choice. Not a chance in hell she's selecting Warren, but I understand why her people would float that kind of stuff out there.

 

I think Warren is going to pass. She has presidential ambitions of her own and I don't think she wants to be tied to Hillary, in case the Democrats lose in November (highly unlikely, but possible) or that a Clinton presidency turns into a shit show (far more likely). She'll hone her leadership skills in the Senate and bide her time.

 

Warren would need to be asked before she could pass. She's been pretty rapidly marginalizing herself the last couple years.

 

That's The People's Eyebrow.

 

Every Democrat who's president will have a shitshow presidency for the next 20 years or so. The GOP will allow nothing less. She could be Thatcher and they wouldn't give a shit. There isn't going to be any level-headedness to the way her presidency is seen.

And if you're whether Democrats could do the same, the answer -- so long as the House of Reps is gerrymandered to the hilt and the GOP keeps winning big at the state legislative level -- is no.

When you talk about the impact of money on politics, it's most been felt at the smaller level. The GOP controls the House. You control that, you control the whole thing.
