2016 GOP Candidates?

24 potential GOP candidates for 2016?? Wow even Fox News thinks it's a bit too much, and so do I.
Out of the 24 pictured above, we already know that, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio have thrown their hats into the ring. Expected to announce in the coming weeks are Donald Trump, Mike Huckabee, Rick Perry, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Chris Christie, Rick Santorum, and Lindsay Graham.

Political pundits across the United States have said it will cost between 1.8 to 2.5 billion dollars to run for President. That's just insane if you ask me, and the old saying that money buys power is very true in American Politics.

On the Democratic side we have Hillary Clinton, who will most likely be the Democratic candidate for President, unless something really goes wrong in her campaign. Anyway now back to the GOP candidates. From a comic perspective, I hope that Ted Cruz, or Donald Trump win the nomination on the Republican side. But I think we are going to see a Clinton vs Bush match up next year, with Clinton of course winning in a landslide.

Until next time!

Canadian Senator from Texas, Ted Cruz.

At the stroke of midnight on Monday March 23rd, 2015, Senator Ted Cruz announced via Twitter that he's running for the GOP nomination to become the next POTUS.

For those of you that must be wondering why I have a picture of Cruz, with the Canadian flag. Well Texas Senator, Ted Cruz was born in Canada. His father was working in the oil fields in Alberta, and his father was born in Cuba. Cruz's mother was born in the United States. Now some will say that as long as one of his parents were born in the United States, Cruz could in fact become President. Others say that he has to be born in the United States. Until this matter is brought up and decided by the Supreme Court, it will be a very grey area.

Some media outlet have said that Cruz is unfit to become President. It's not because he was born in Canada, it has to do with the fact that Ted Cruz is just plain crazy. He's the guy who claims to be a god loving, fiscal conservative, yet he was able to shut down the US Government, and the cost to take payers was in the billions.

Cruz's policies are questionable to say the least, and his only experience on the world stage is that he was born in Canada. As he's the first one on the GOP side to announce his bid for the nomination, I predict he will be the first one to withdraw from the race.

Until next time!

President Donald Trump? Anything is possible

President Donald Trump

Donald Trump must be joking if he's really serious about running for President of the United States. Trump over the past 8 plus years has always said that, America needs a person with a business background like himself to save America.

Let's just take a long hard look at Mr. Trump's success in business. On the positive side he can talk the talk, and has built a good empire in real estate. On the negative he's filed for corporate bankruptcy not once, but 4 times during his career. His casino has gone bankrupt several times, and he's been restricted from owning a casino in Las Vegas because of his failed casino's in New Jersey.

Trump spent millions trying to prove that Obama was not born in the United States, and he failed every time. He donated millions to several key Republicans in their election bids. He sued Bill Maher, and then withdrew his lawsuit, when he realized that he did not have a leg to stand on.

I just can't see Trump sitting down with world leaders, and for that matter working with world leaders. Trump likes being in charge, and telling people what to do. However being President of the United States is about compromise, and having the ability to work with other people. The world is a very scary place, and America will need a leader who understands that, and Mr. Trump will never be that leader.

Until next time!

600 Days Until The Next Election

Is crazy season about to start between the Dems and Republicans? Well it seems that way, with the announcement that Donald Trump is setting up a committee to look into a possible 2016 bid for the White House.



As a first step he's quit his television shows, which by the way have tanked over the past couple of years. With Trump looking at entering the race on the GOP side, along with another Bush, maybe that crazy Canadian Senator from Texas Ted Cruz, and we can't forget Marc Rubio, and Paul Rand, it's going to be one crazy race on the GOP side.

Now on the Democrat side, we have Hillary Clinton who has not officially entered the race, but is polling at 56% among Dems, with VP Biden in single digits, and former Senator Webb at 1%. These 3 have yet to announce that they are running, but Clinton is expected to announce within the next month that she intends to run again.

When you match up Clinton with any of the GOP candidates she's ahead by a minimum of 10% in the recent tracking polls. Regardless of who the Republicans and Democrats pick as their candidate, it's going to be one hell of a race.

Until next time!
