I'm staying home. I've already cast that vote.
Why are you talking about the Kennedy family in a thread about the Bush/Clinton matchup in 2016?
no
.....
It will be a competition between two dynasties in the United States. It will be very interesting, so, which one is your favorite?
Personally I'd pick Warren over Hillary, but Hillary's the one who would win the election...and I've got two "Hillary" signs in my basement waiting for me to bring them out....
We can be sure that will be the duel 2016.

Bush, easily.
Dynasties are rulers from the same family. It is NOT limited to passing rule down through generations.
LOL. I hear that. I went with Bush too, not because he is my preference for the GOP nominee by a long stretch, but I still have to believe he would do less damage to the country than Hillary will do. And IMO Hillary would have done less damage than Obama has done. (Even though she wouldn't remember half of it and wouldn't have a clue how the other half happened other than she would be sure it wasn't her fault.)
What I can say for Jeb Bush is that I would have to hold my nose to vote for him, but not as tightly as I had to do to vote for McCain.
I hate to say it, but I agree with this. Since I was born the people have consistently voted for the more personable and affable candidate that conveyed a positive message, and I can't think of a single exception. Clinton, quite frankly, has the affability of an ant. She fails the "I'd have a beer with her" test in about sixty-seven different ways.
Edit: anonymous polls are stupid.
If it ends up Hillary v. Jeb, I'll vote third party again.
Exactly, aren't we sick of holding our noses and voting??
Well it doesn't seem to happen to the Democrats as they don't seem to expect anything of their candidates other than they are reasonable leftwing and have a D after their name. Character, track record, accomplishments, demonstrated ability to get things done etc. don't seem to matter much.
But until the people who vote GOP, regardless of how they self-identify, develop a backbone and are willing to demonstrate strength of character and conviction by standing up and speaking out for what they want and expect from those we entrust with leadership, I fear we will continue to 'settle' for a vanilla flavor that gives everybody just a little of what they say they want but can't or won't deliver on the campaign rhetoric. And that means holding our noses when we vote.
Oh, for crying out loud.
Sadly, both parties seem to look for a candidate with the right letter after their name who can win instead of a candidate they can sell on that candidate's integrity, character, ability, accomplishments, and vision.
That may be true; however, that's not what you said in the previous post.

I'll do it! Nobody move or I'm gonna do it!
Hey - you - over there - yeah you, the guy from Texas - I told you DON'T MOVE!!!! That does it!!!

At the moment it's Jeb but if he hews too far to the right and Hillary cleaves back to the center after the primaries I suppose I could be convinced.
