The democrats will try to personally smear any republican so the republican must be smear proof. The dems can only run on demonizing republicans they will not be able to run on the democratic record. One of the most smear proof candidates would be ben carson
Dems cant say he is a racist
Dems can not say he is dumb
Carson is a physician and thus should stay in his lane. He is not a politician and only will be used like "Mr. 999" and will be discharged when the big boys come on the scene. Ben can speak well on (what he believes) medical related issues and maybe some moral issues but I can't see him on global or financial issues to be taken too seriously. He also cannot be counted on getting blacks to vote republican either, they fell for that crap with Obama.
Btw, I don't really care who they elect (either party) because it will pretty much be the same thing either at a faster or slowly pace.
Since it cost too much for any politician to become president without any significant backing, what difference does it matter what they believe in if their backers want them to go in another direction? This is what really happened to Obama, he came in with these ideas on what he thought would help the country and those who supported him thought differently and that is what makes liars out of EVERY politician.
Rather if you are a conservative or liberal it makes no difference on the national stage because who ever holds the purse strings controls the puppet. We all must face this simple fact, that our government is controlled by the few corperations that have an extreme amount of power and voting on the national level only gives you the feeling of a true democracy.
The only thing that having two political parties does is keep us all divided over the most mundane of things. so instead of getting together and actually doing anything they are too busy arguing over nothing and that is what is getting done .....NOTHING! The only thing that they will agree on is making sure that a real third or fourth party will never get established because that might mean....Heaven forbid! Something that the people actually wants gets done. Like affordable healthcare for everyone and at the same time not break the country financially, or fixing our roads and bridges or even (gasp) getting Americans back to work with a livable wage!
LOL!! Get serious! Let me help you: Putin, for one. But none respect him. Can you name any that do?
Another poster made the claim so let him list these leaders for me. You`ve spoken to Pooty? Most of his admirers here never get closer than that topless photo that turns them on.

Actually Putin does not respect anyone because he does not have to. Bush bullied Iraq and Afghanistan because he could, Obama did the same with Libya. Putin has nukes and could give a damn about what any other country says about what he does.
so the question should have been what leader does Putin respect?

wow, what an attitude, I guess you won't be bothering to vote as long as you don't think it makes any difference who is elected.

We need fresh new blood that hasn't been smeared yet. Ben Carson comes to mind, but I'm not sure he has the political chops; he is a bit soft spoken. However, he seems to appeal to everyone, even some of the radical left.
They will probably offer up Christie in a fit of desperation, though.
I still have hope Christie will thumb his nose at both parties and run as an (I), he might actually have enough traction to pull it off.

nope, he won't do that, but you can dream about it if you like. I can dream Susanna Martinez will run but I doubt it will happen. And no, we are not quite ready for a President running as an independent I don't think.
