If there is a big attack on American soil (especially if the person got into the country over the Mexican border) right before the election, or something big happens in the Middle East, or the crime rate soars, or some big disease comes in over the border, even if the Republicans put up Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny, the Republican ticket will win because when people are afraid they don't vote Democrat. Hillary Clinton will be tied to Obama and her ineptitude with Benghazi, her support of Morsi, her failed healthcare attempt and everything else she wasn't so swell at as Secretary of State will come roaring back to bite her in the butt as well as the Democrats being soft on crime and defense.

She'll be up there waving her Pre-K, abortion and Glass Ceiling flag while the country is falling apart and people are afraid, and Daffy and Bugs will look awfully good in comparison.

The last 3 years before Election Day, Hillary Clinton will have not held a job. Would you vote for a housewife when the world is falling apart?

If the option was Daffy Duck? Most definitely.

You're describing a sea change election, like 1932, 1968 and 1992 that causes a paradigm shift which are by definition exceedingly rare. Unless that occurs, you're betting that the Daffy Duck that is chosen can shift enough votes, not in overwhelmingly Red States, but in the relatively few competitive states to swing the election.

why are you people even reading these controlled media articles ?
they only exist to plant concepts in your head that do not belong there.
should it be a surprise that it's bloomberg and they are touting no-change
cronies like Bush and Portman ?
Do you really think they will ever tell the truth that Ben Carson would
destroy Hillary Clinton in an election ?
Stop reading garbage.

A Republican Ticket Hillary Clinton May Fear - Bloomberg Politics

Not intended as an endorsement by Earthlyfather. Just the possibilities, ma'am, just the possibilities.
I could support Kasich because he appeals to Dem and Rep alike and has a good record with with both sides of the isle.

From the feed back on Cruze , I think he does not appeal to all and their are many who do like his public polices like him or not. The idea is we need people like Cruze to keep the /us constitution and the prinipes of this country alive. He has been the counter balance of Obama.

Kasich on the other had has worked very hard for Ohio and this is his second term. He would make a fine choice if he decides to run. May be a Carson or Walker for VP?

The key is If anyone who runs they must indeed attract the other side. Period. Problem with Obama and now Clinton they do not even make any attempt to appeal to Conservatives. Thus their down fall.

Like Susanne Martinez for starters, and how about Rubio, Cruz. and probably 1/2 dozen others. The last 2 chair people of our country party when we still lived in NM were Hispanics. There is a huge difference between immigrants and illegal immegrants. What make this so hard for so many to understand?

Kasich-Martinez 2016!
We can hope can't we? Some say she isn't interested because of family responsibilities, but who knows what will happen in another year or so?

Yes I have forgot about Martinez. She would add value to a Kasich ticket and I would dare to say would be better fit than Rubio. But do not count Rubio out either. Good point.

Hillary will never win because she lies all the time. I would rather elect Sharah Palin over Hillary in any race.

Uh; since Obama NEVER got illegal aliens the amnesty that "most" Hispanics wanted, what makes you think the Dems even own that vote come 2016? Too; the "anglo white" is the the dom majority in the US and, pissing us off ain't real smart since MOST of us don't amnesty for ANY kind of illegal alien, even those with white skin and blue eyes.
