We hear about how certain presidential contenders (Cruz, Santorum, Biden, etc,) are unelectable, bland, etc, but in your honest opinion, which potential candidates would be the worst that the two major parties can nominate for president in 2016?

Ben Carson vs. Jay Nixon/Amy Klobuchar/John Hickenlooper would be worse than the 2012 race. Good god.

What the hell is with the hate for Sanders?  My my my this place has gone downhill. 

And for the Republicans the answer is Sarah Palin.  For the Democrats it would be Evan Bayh.

I assume "worst" means perform the worst in the EC, and I don't see Sanders doing too well if nominated.

I think it has to do with forum members's notions of who they figure is and is not electable.

Some of this is a whole lotta crap.

Cuomo would be bound to be more of a disaster. He's so bad, I'd even vote Hillary over Cuomo in a primary.

This. There's plenty for Democrats to like about Sanders. But, the odds of a self-proclaimed Socialist being elected President are zero.
