"You watch, this is what I do for a living".

he predicts the party base will choose RAND PAUL.

Rand against hilary.  That would be AWESOME.   Total different worlds right there!

[240 is Back]

Rand would choose Cruz for veep, I'd reckon.

I don't think any of the more establishment candidates would do so.

I'll be staying home.

I'm calling it now

Christie will be the Republican nominee

I know the party hates him (and they didn't care much for Romney either) but he is the only person who can appeal to a broad section of the country and even pull in independents and even some Dems

[chadstallion]

yes, he called it for the GOP nominee.
and he referred to the newly elected president in '16 as.....
President Clinton.
he called that, too.

I disagree, for a few reasons - First, he doesn't LOOK like a president.  Romney scraped in because he was rich, could outspend everyone, worked for 4 straight years on the groundwork after losing in 2008 - and LOOKED the part.

Christie is fat and angry.  Mitt knew how to act like a president.  If you were casting a tV president, it would be romney.  Perry almost got the nomination, and he didn't even know his own position on issues (oops, I forget) - because of a jawline and hair.   

Christie looks bad during highly controlled, cool press conferences.  What will he look like after 6 hours of stoop speeches in the Fl sun in September Fort myers, florida?  LOL yikes.

[Dos Equis]

Who cares?

[JOHN MATRIX]

Only democrats want chris chrispy chreme to run. Only the liberal news outlets are talking him up as a likely nominee.
