(40,416 posts)It may be another Bush, but I doubt it. What is more likely is that the hugely insane theocratic underbelly of the GOP will promote some utter madness to the nomination. For instance, the theocratic Cruz or Carson. (No, I am not worried about Mike Hucklebuck, another overt theocrat.)
I think Carson implodes. He is as mad as a hatter. Yet Cruz is just as mad, but is less overt about it unless one catches him speaking to other insiders. He is the big danger for 2016.
Also Rubio, however I think he may be too thirsty to get the nomination. Still, he would willingly pander to the theocrats.
Which is the elephant in the room with the GOP. They are the Christian theocratic party, thanks to Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson in the late 70's. Nothing more and nothing less.
The extent that the Democratic Party does not unite for 2016 is the extent to which we lose in 2016.
The stakes are just too fucking high to infight now.
