re: #213 A Cranky One

Interesting thing. I looked around to see what other candidates in the past had run multiple times. One source suggested that Romney actually only ran once (as the official GOP candidate for President) and therefore this would be his second attempt (assuming he was the official candidate again).

Still hope it’s never Ann’s “turn”.

Well, sure, but he did run in the primary and McCain won, then picked Palin…

The GOP establishment wasn’t going to let that happen again and they’ll be damn sure not to allow Romney to run just to lose. Jeb Bush is going to be their choice, although there’s a lot of family baggage connected with him and people will talk about it, one way or another.

I think the basic intelligence of the American voters is going to be severely tested in 2016. They’ve already shown it in the mid-terms when they turned the entire Congress over to Repubs. 2016 ought to be very interesting—and fatal for the ordinary working person if Rs get the upper hand and control of all 3 branches.
