The "Who is running?" tea leaves thread

Hello, first time poster.

Seems to be a lot of Cuomo supporters on here. Sure, he has a great resume, but he's one of the poorest speakers I've heard out of all the names being out there. I doubt Democrats will be be going from Obama, a great orator, to Cuomo, nails on a chalkboard.

Well the early debates do need a few whack jobs. I.E, Michelle Bachman. Cruz is positioning himself for that spot.

Bachmann was in a class of her own. Not sure if I'd put Cruz in that category at all.

he's been in office for 3 seconds and he's quickly becoming the joke of the senate.

you don't need to be a doctor to know Christie is in poor health. His heart is working much harder than someone's of normal weight.

Hillary Clinton may be the most qualified candidate since George H.W. Bush.

The far right does not scare Christie, and why should it? George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, John McCain, and Mitt Romney are a 4 of the last 5 Republican presidental nominees. Not exactly far right kooks. The far right have a bigger bark than they have a bite.

Except opposing Obamacare is not a 'far right' issue, it is something that most Republican voters expect from their candidates. You mentioned Mitt Romney, who would not have gotten through the primaries if he did not make a pretty thorough promise to repeal it.

So if Christie is running, he must be thinking that healthcare will not be a big issue.

and yet the Republican Party nominated a guy in the last election who's great achievement as Governor of Massachusetts was the blue print to Obama-care. If that wasn't enough to block Romney from the nomination in 2012, expanding medicare sure as hell won't in 2016.
