Who would you want as our next president?

On the GOP you have Christie, Paul, Cruz, Rubio, King, Perry, Santorum, Ryan, Walker, Kasich and others. Master_Live

If I were American and if he were running, I'd vote for Cory Booker. Dude seems awesome as fvck.

Because at least he didn't lie to get elected.

Oh no, she said she was one thirty-somethingth Native American. That totally overshadows her work against corrupt wall street regulators and for students, two things completely overlooked by just about everyone in the government today.

And how you can bash her for that and then support "FEMA beneficiaries are parasites" Rand Paul in the next sentence is beyond me.

I know it's only been less than a year of Obummers 2nd term, but it'll go by fast. Just curious who people would like to see rule next. Can be any politcal person you think would be best. The only canidate I know of that may run for presidency is NJ's governor, but I don't know how he is. Be nice if we could get another JFK or Ronald Regan but that won't happen ever again probably.

I think Chris Christie's style works exceedingly well for New Jersey, but I don't see it working nationally nor do I see it working when dealing with leaders from other countries.

[QUOTE="Makhaidos"]Elizabeth Warren. She's the only politician up there who actually does what she says she's going to do. But it's not going to happen, sadly.Makhaidos

And lies about being a native american in order to get federal goodies! What a role model.

Neither did Warren. Warren got elected because she consistently fights against wall street thugs while your hero Rand does absolutely nothing, not because she said she was part Native American (a ridiculous non-issue conservatives like to keep bringing up as if it's important, kind of like Obama being half white).

Elizabeth Warren, much like the Paul family, is lulz-inducing.

ehhhhhhhh

Christie is a douche because he vetoed the same-sex marriage bill after it passed not because of his demeanour.

I wish more politicians had personalities like Christie.chessmaster1989

Is there anyone on the Republican side today that is as good a politician as George W. Bush was? Or a democrat as good as Bill Clinton? I'm speaking purely from a political standpoint here. Someone who is capable of getting politicians to agree with one another and getting the American people behind them? Comes across as friendly and agreeable.Serraph105

An Isolationist.

Sure, tell yourself that.

Neither did Warren.

Of course I think it's an issue when SOMEONE LIES. The fact that you don't only cements your moral failings, not mine.

Christie is all charisma. He's just another neocon like the rest. Rand tried to get a following and then buttered up with the GOP mainline buffoons. I don't think there's any hope to be found in the currently discussed political candidates, but then again that feeling seems to be the norm at this point.

I honestly don't care.

But I want one party to dominate.  Either a full congressional majority and a sitting president or bust.  From either party.  I would prefer Democrats, but Republicans would do most of the same sh-t, and all the crazy stuff they would do would have major blowback and probably destroy their party.

Umm, the only ok person on the Republican side is Rand Paul and even then I'm kind of skeptical.  I'll have to see who is running in the third parties before I commit to Rand.  

And regarding the democrats they're mostly the same, but Elizabeth Warren is the worst.  That fool will be the destruction of America and honestly scares me more than Hillary or Biden or any of the others.  She continues to force her personal beliefs regarding the drug war onto us, continues to say regulation helps the economy and small business, and insists on spending taxpayer dollars to fund the murder of unborn children.  She is all the worst of the Republicans and all the worst of the Democrats combined into one person.

Not a career politician.....LJS9502_basic
