The "Who is running?" tea leaves thread (Part 2)

[Vega]

So, question, what do you have to sign up for to get Clinton's announcement e-mail? Ready for Hillary?

I found all the YAF members' emails at my school and signed them up for Ready for Hillary

According to Politico, Lindsey's main objective in a potential run would be to stop Paul. He says he'll decide on whether or not to run by late May.

This man is an embarrassment to the whole South.

As opposed to Rand Paul, who is an embarrassment to the entire nation?

Yeah, more embarrassing than a guy who voted to invade Iraq based on false information

Seeing as how Ron Paul voted to authorize the invasion Iraq, I seriously doubt Rand Paul would have done any differently under the same circumstances. Nice try though.

Dude, what are you talking about? He voted against the invasion in 2002. Your darling Hillary voted for it, but go ahead and be a typical Hillary hack: Make up lies about other candidates only to distract from yourself.

This really is going to be a terrible 18 months isn't it?

Christie will decide in late spring/early summer, Sanders by next week.

[Mr. Morden]

Christie will decide in late spring/early summer, Sanders by next week.

Specifically, on Sanders, "Sanders will meet with [adviser] Devine in Vermont this weekend to discuss a potential run and will “probably” make a decision next week, Devine told POLITICO."

[Türkisblau]

She's definitely in.

POLITICO:

In an email to alumni of Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign and donors, Podesta wrote, "I wanted to make sure you heard it first from me -- it's official: Hillary's running for president."

Hopefully we can get the actual announcement soon.

[Consciously Unconscious]

And here we go.

[All Along The Watchtower]

Podesta says "She's In."

And by "she" presumably he means Elizabeth Warren.

EDIT: Damn, that was quick. Beaten to the punch!

Go Chafee Go!!!!!!!

[IceSpear]

My sources tell me that this is one big prank and Hillary is not actually running. I think we should write dozens of columns and conduct dozens of polls to account for this possibility, just to be safe.

Cuomo opts out of running himself, so as to endorse Clinton:

Looks like Cuomo will be appearing in many polls soon! Everyone knows that no means yes.

As long as you make sure everyone knows the context is presidential politics.

Lmao at Rubio's team thinking he is in 3rd.

[Mr. Morden]

Sanders now says he'll announce his 2016 intentions by the end of this month:

No guarantee he'll make a decision by then, considering he previously said end of march only to say he needed more time.

He's waiting for the inevitable gaffe by Hills, then he'll swoop in and win the Presidency in the biggest landslide in U.S. history. Considering there is no Republican nominee.

Republican best hope in 2016 will be declaring his candidacy officially in a few hours

Not that this day was a surprise to anyone following the party or Rubio's career, it was inevitable the day Romney lost the 2012 election.

Hmmm a young hispanic senator from the must win swing state of Florida?

- The new generation vs the old generation in Hilary?
- Young and Hispanic whose open to immigration reform. Hmmm hispanics when push come to shove, should I vote for the 1% in Hilary Clinton that has no idea what its like to be me or Marco Rubio and help elect the first hispanic president of the United States?? HMMM
- Great Speaker from humble beginnings. Wait the Democrat nominee will be the 1% that is all about Wall Street and the Republican candidate will have grown up with nothing from two parents that worked their butts off to put food on the table?! HMMMM
- Rubio is one of the few if not only Republicans with a realistic path to 270 electoral votes.
- Rubio will be in his 40s on a debate stage with Hilary who will be 70 and is a grandmother.
- HMMM who did Hilary lose the nomination to back in 2008??

Thats just the start, i could list countless other reasons why he's the perfect fit to be the republican nominee in 2016.

Not to mention he by far scares the democrats more than ANYONE else the republicans are running. They would be ecstatic if any of Walker. Bush, Christie, Paul etc. won the nomination.

They know for countless reasons the republicans have one candidate with a real path to 270 electoral votes and his name is Marco Rubio. The Clintons know this as well their no fools. Quite the coincidence she declares the DAY BEFORE Rubio, to take away from his announcement. That would be one heck of a coincidence.

There is one other candidate that had a path to 270 electoral votes running on the republican side and his name is Jeb Bush. Unfortunately, for him we have had two Bush presidents already and the country isn't ready for a third. So unfortunately for him he is eliminated, even though if his last name wasn't Bush he would be the only candidate with a real path to 270 electoral votes like Marco Rubio.

Democrats fear Marco Rubio for good reason.

Your 2016 election will be Rubio vs. Clinton. We will see who wins, it will be an EXTREMELY close election.

Lmao at Rubio's team thinking he is in 3rd.

I happen to know a very competent employee of Rubio. I don't know if he is on the campaign staff or not, but I do know that the man is very, very intelligent, and has been a very good friend and mentor to me.

Let things settle a bit and debates to get closer and Rubio will slowly pick up steem, he will win the nomination, he's in a great spot right now this far away from the election.
