38. There are a lot of republicans waiting for 2016
Sun Jan 22, 2012, 05:07 PM
Jan 2012

I think the powers that be on the right pretty much know this is just another time when they have to put out someone, like they did with McCain, who they don't care about, and this crop of clowns they have fit just perfect for them. Anyone with half a chance at becoming president on the republican side will simply wait till president Obama finishes his second term. By then the economy will be better, and republicans will try and take credit for it, somehow.

It happens all the time. A republican gets in the WH, screws up the whole country, and then a democrat gets in, fixes the mess, and then some damned republican gets back in and the process starts all over. Republicans don't have a clue on how to fix the mess Bush got us into, so they will wait, spin every accomplishment to try and take credit for the good things, and blame Obama for all the crap that they cause by fighting him on everything he wants to do.

Not one of he clowns left can win a national election. Sure they can win their primary, but there are enough "loons", teabaggers, racists, etc. in their base to get enough votes to win the national election. The big players like Jeb, Christie, etc. will wait four more years, and the clowns in this race will be history!
