1. We've had some lame contenders in the past, but this assclown...

would be the worst to ever be nominated by a major party.

It would simply prove the decline of this once great country. We didn't learn a thing from Shrub or Palin.

15. ^sad truth^

2. I was 100% certain there was no way in hell that GWB could be elected.

That didn't work out so well. TWICE.

Never underestimate the gullibility of voters.

4. Both of those elections

if you can call them such, turned my future into an albatross from the past forever after. I'll not underestimate the machine that gave us W and the travesty for humanity (and all other life forms on the planet) that was and continues to be.

5. "travesty" - yes, that's the perfect word. nt

8. Bush* had a pedigree and tried to blur ideological lines.

That's the opposite of Ted Cruz.

3. I just wonder if it's possible for this basket case to pull them even farther to the right

through this maniacal campaign.

[TheNutcracker]

6. He will never beat Jeb.

7. I want the most qualified/smartest candidates to represent their respective parties.

9. So...Ted Cruz for the GOP, then.

10. did I fucking say that? do you really think he is the smartest the Rs have? really?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. "Smart" is a subjective word

By dint of education he might well be...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

14. whatever. I am not here to argue/discuss/conversate about it. Way too early in the process-

I think he will go the way of that other famous Texan: Lee Mercer Jr.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. I want the most qualified/smartest candidates to represent my party...

I want the most qualified/smartest candidates to represent my party and an unelectable nut case to represent the Republican party. Maybe they will oblige me.

12. goodie for you.
