I think (hope) he was being sarcastic.

I support Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, or John Kasich. I would much prefer an experienced governor than a senator to win the republican nomination.

It really is fun being a British conservative republican. It's basically a 90/10 split with british expats. 90% go for the donkeys, 10% latch onto the elephants.

The funny thing about that is that if you break down how Americans vote by ethnic group, those who claim English, Irish, Scottish, or Scotch-Irish heritage vote republican by probably a 40% margin.

Much more than a wide, deep ocean separates us, I guess...

I won't be able to vote in 2016, but I am politically inclined and like to keep up with it.

I'm not sure one the Republican nomination, but my feeling is it'll be Scott Walker or Bush. I'm hoping for the former just to avoid another Bush.

As for the Dems, well it's a Clinton coronation. Who can actually mount a challenge to stop her financially?

Literally nothing Ted Cruz says is correct.

Ted Cruz compares climate change activists to ‘flat-Earthers.’ Where to begin? - The Washington Post

If he really believed that "climate change" was voodoo science, he should have compared that to "creationism" but that would have offended his base.

I will be sure to be present when he does some electioneering in his hometown...

The whole thing that gets me is that for years there was all this total claptrap about Obama not being a natural-born US citizen (which he is on two counts, born in Hawaii, his mother is American) and now all these "birthers" have to eat their words trying to explain why Cruz is qualified to run.

Well he's always blathering on about "common sense" and I've always been of the opinion that common sense is the faculty that tells you the Earth is flat.

I'm more interested in Hillary Clinton, wow, she is so rusty. You could almost see the flakes of rust coming off her when she was trying to explain away the e-mail fiasco at the UN.

The Clintons could barely hold it together in the 1990s, which was before most of the 24/7 news channels and web blogs, etc. started.

Personally I'd like Jim Webb or Jon Huntsman to run, but I have a feeling they're too intelligent to bother when it comes down to it.

Steve_

Actually I think it's 99.9% think it's a total farce and are astonished that these are the people who might end up running the most powerful country in the world.

Michael

No they don't because Obama is black, a democrat, a commie, a Muslim, the anti-Christ, and a terrorist.

Rand Paul is in the race now. Never trust a man who gets his first name and last name in the wrong order.

What will the democrats do if Clinton doesn't run?

She isn't all that young anymore, and age seems to be an issue when it comes to candidates at times, and she may just not want to run.

The clown car is starting to fill up again.

Elizabeth Warren?

zargof

Warren is about the same age as Clinton, plus she has repeatedly said she's not running and it would appear she actually means it.

About the only other Democrat who has hinted at running is Martin O'Malley, but if it became clear that Clinton wasn't running, then that would smoke a few more out.
