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

[King]

Halperin says "Biden '16 is now in play."

I think Biden and Sanders running will be a positive for Hillary. Unelectable old men who will help her define her campaign to the Democratic Party.

[King]

I can't imagine them not uniting behind Cruz. He's by far the most charismatic of the bunch

[King]

Marco Rubio is a pointless candidacy with no angle. At best he'll be the 2nd choice to Walker, Cruz, and Bush supporters but the 1st choice to nobody.

[King]

This is effectively an Obama endorsement right? Poor Biden.

Shocking news. Wait... no.

[King]

Btw, I like how every Gilmore/Ehrlich article Morden ever links to always has 0 comments. lol

Not true, a racist Jeff Dunham puppet replied to this article about Ehrlich on the riots:

In case there was still any doubt on Fiorina's plans:

Still plenty of doubt on what she thinks she will get out of this.

[King]

Yeah, the Fiorina candidacy has gotta be one of the strangest Pub things this cycle.

I don't even know what Fiorina would be looking for in terms of a cabinet post in a GOP Administration.

She was a CEO but her background was in advertising and marketing not finance. Her business experience is in IT, which is not a department. She isn't qualified to run the Treasury or get any appointment to the Fed. She'd only be suited for White House Press Secretary, which is below her pay grade, or an ambassadorship, which she doesn't need to run in order to get.

I love how this entire drama apparently unfolded in his campaign but nobody noticed.

Ironically, Snyder having the sense to bow out means he probably would've made the best President of the clown car.

Chafee is the biggest joke candidate in the history of joke candidates. Your average county board member has more gravitas than him. It's remarkable he's ever been elected to anything.

Surely at least one of Carly Fiornia, Donald Trump, or Ben Carson is more of a joke.

They know how to play up to a base and get applause lines at least. Chafee is miraculously boring and doesn't even come across as smart.

Kasich announcing this summer. Christie doing pre-announcement tour next month.

"Summer."

Maybe Kasich is trying to be a late entry savior candidate.

Classic True Leftist success story. We accomplished nothing, but in doing so we came out the victors!

Gilmore will be making yet another trip to New Hampshire on July 11th:

This is ridiculous. Who is giving him money?

Papa Gilmore is postponing his retirement to fund his son's Presidential campaign. He wants to cut him off but Mama Gilmore won't let him.
