Name the next three U.S. Presidents

[Reaganfan]

Just for kicks.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Sen. John McCain (2009-2013)
Sen. Mark Warner (2013-2021) (narrowly def. Gov. Bobby Jindal)
Fmr. Gov. Bobby Jindal (2021-?)

Certainly not certain or anything close, but I think McCain wins and Warner faces Jindal in 2012

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Barack Obama (D-IL, 2009-2017)
Mark Warner (D-VA, 2017-2021)
Bobby Jindal (R-LA, 2021-2025)

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

These threads are absolutely inane and retarded. Ask this in 1992. How many would say the Governor of Arkansas, the current President's son, and either a Chicago community organizer or Senator just involved in the Keating Five? There's a ton of other similar scenarios.

Of course the sheer stupidity of them and the idea that in the 2020s we'll still be dealing with the same people we have today is probably why they appeal so much to people like Naso, DWTL and constine.

Well, the expert has chimed in

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

1981:

-the Vice-President
-the former Governor of Arkansas who just lost reelection
-the son of the Vice-President.

1965:

-the former Vice-President
-the new House Minority Leader
-a State Senator from Georgia

etc. etc.

People really think Jindal will run for higher office? Odd....I dont really see it happening.

[Josh/Devilman88]

Barack Obama(D): 2009-2017
Jim Web(D): 2017-2021 (Obama VP)
Pat McCrory(R): 2021-?? ( Pat McCrory loses the Governor race, in 2014 he runs for the Senate of NC, betting Kay Hagan. He then runs for President of the USA)

We can hope he doesn't since the consequences would be truly dire if he were to be elected. Like Huckabee, he belongs to the theocon wing of the GOP.

I think we've had this argument before.  You're right that it's crazy to suggest that anyone can predict for sure who it'll be two presidents from now, and especially not three presidents from now, but there are definitely certain people who we'ver heard of who are more likely than others to be the 45th or even 46th president.  Bill Clinton was already a rising star in the Democratic Party in 1988, so it would hardly be crazy to guess him as one potential future president back then.  It would hardly be crazy to guess George Bush as a potential future president in 1980, or even 1976.  It would hardly be crazy to guess Reagan as a potential future president as far back as the Nixon years.

To be honest, a great many of the things people try to predict on this board are "inane and retarded".  (The idea that one can perfectly predict the percentage margins in every state in the 2008 presidential election is crazy, for example.)  But people do it anyway, just for kicks.  It's not like it's a complete shot in the dark.  I mean, the 45th president of the United States is a lot more likely to be, say, Mark Warner than Herb Kohl.

I like that stuff...where Nixon was a well-known politician in the Leave it to Beaver days of the 50s...and yet his term was set to expire nearly in the 1980s. Talk about a politican who covered time.

Same with Reagan...he was on the political scene for Truman in 1948...only to be President of the United States 40 years later.

If McCain becomes President...and serves two terms...I'll say "When I was 11 years old...McCain was on the political scene...now he's leaving office when I am 28 years old".

I like that stuff.

Barack Obama  (2009-2017)
Jim Webb (2017-2025)
Malia Ann Obama (2025-2033)



Yes, I know that's ridicolous before anyone says it.

Sarah Palin (2021-2025)

I'd say Huckabee is more plausible than Jindal for that time period. Perhaps Huckabee '13-'21 then Jindal after that.

Jindal will have a bump from running as McCain's veep and/or speaking at the GOP convention a la Obama

[Albus Dumbledore]

The experience issue will doom Jindal though.

[Hatman 🍁]

Just like it's dooming Obama?

[Albus Dumbledore]

Jindal has significantly less experience than Obama hth.

[Mr. Morden]

Jindal has significantly less experience than Obama hth.

Uh....barring some unexpected circumstances, by 2012, Jindal will have served at least a full 4 year term as governor of Louisiana, on top of his 3 years in the House of Representatives.  In what universe is that "significantly less" experience than Obama has now?
