Yes, really. While I do not agree with some of its teachings, I did like Stein's economic plan and that was my reason of voting for her in this past election.

Assuming a miracle had happened and she had been elected, exactly how much would she have gotten done? She'd have zero support in Congress. That's the mistake the minor parties make every single time, they think that if they can just win the presidency, everything will be puppies and kittens and rainbows.

Seems about right. Maybe Cuomo and O'Malley on the Democratic side.

I like "presidental." They do smile a lot when they're campaigning.

Oh, and Paul Ryan? :lol: The man's entire reputation is built on trumpeting that generally discredited study of debt as a percent of GDP.

Upon looking at the first few pictures on Google of each, I've concluded the following.

Biden and O'Malley have similar teeth. Hillary's are probably the least white and Cuomo might as well not even have any since his mouth is always either closed or he is always yelling to the extent they are not visible.

For the Republicans, I think it goes Ryan, Rubio, Christie, Paul.

Edit - Why did I do this?

Like that would happen.

However, in all seriousness Hillary Clinton will most probably run, Obama has been endorsing her like CRAZY.


As much as I have issues with her personal politics, Hillary, like Obama before her, would be a good precedent... she would set the stage for future female candidates. I personally look forward to a future where presidency is not synonymous with an old, white male. However, she did have some snags her last run, it might be interesting to see if she irons those out for her '16 run.

Joe Biden/Debbie Schultz the Democratic nonimee and Rand Paul/ Jeb Bush the Republican nonimee.

Biden vs Paul on the economy:

Biden- The economy is really doing ok, We lowered unemployment below 8 percent By 2013.

Paul- The economy is still in a recession, the last 8 years of the Obama administration has failed our country, It is time for real change in Washington after Bush and Obama.

Biden vs Paul on healthcare:

Biden- We have prescribed Obamacare to cover pre-existing medical conditions, In my administration we will continue to work Obamacare for the next generation.

Paul- If Biden wins, we are screwed and we can't afford this law. It kills pharmacists, doctors and jobs.

Not catchy enough for you to remember that it wasn't "Mary Contrary", apparently.

Schultz is too polarizing. She excels, like Pelosi, in her role of whipping the Dems into shape, but neither women are suited to Presidency/vice Presidency.
