Name the next three U.S. Presidents

[DownWithTheLeft]

While at least you admitted Georgia is trending Republican.

[SPC]

Barack H. Obama (2009-2013)
Mark Sanford (2013-2021)
Rand Paul (2021-2029)

[NDN]

McCain: 2008-2012
Warner: 2012-2020
Jindal: 2020-2028

Jindal will be unelectable in a few years, if not already. Otherwise that's not an implausible list.

[Хahar 🤔]

Barack H. Obama (2009-2013)
Mark Sanford (2013-2021)
Rand Paul (2021-2029)

IIRC, he's just like his dad. IIRC, his dad failed to win a single state.

[DownWithTheLeft]

That doesn't mean that Rand Paul couldn't get elected in 12 years, just as Reagan couldn't get elected in 1976 let alone 1968

[bgwah]

lol, Jindal has about a 0.0001% chance of ever becoming President.

[War on Want]

Palin v. Landrieu?  Do you really the Dems will nominate a moderate who is either out of office or barely winning?  BTW, LOL @ NC, GA, and LA voting Dem

LA did in 1992 and 1996. Also by that time, GA and NC will both have around 10 to 11 million people live in them states, Most from up North moving down because the cost of living is lower and the weather is better.

1.) VT has voted Republican more times any state, in fact up until 1992, I don't know the last time they didn't.  Is it going to be a GOP bastion soon?
2.) More people does not equal more Democratic, Georgia is growing a lot and is moving right

GA isn't moving right or left right now, its holding steady, but I see it being more Democratic at the natonal level, but saying republican at the local level. Also  LA would go Democratic because the Mary is from there, and 99% of the time the candidate wins their home state.

1.) No, you can't argue Georgia is not moving to the right, its a fact not an opinion

It isn't anymore. Most of the growth to its suburbs recently hasn't been as Republican, as before and I think it is holding steady now.

[War on Want]

That doesn't mean that Rand Paul couldn't get elected in 12 years, just as Reagan couldn't get elected in 1976 let alone 1968

Nope because Libertarianism will never be popular enough to allow for it.

[War on Want]

Barack Obama(2009-2017)
Sarah Palin(2017-2025)
Pancho Villa from Phoenix, Arizona(2025-2029)

[Хahar 🤔]

Pancho Villa from Phoenix, Arizona(2025-2029)

Nice name.

[Reaganfan]

How about this?

OBAMA 2009-2013
JINDAL 2013-2021
WARNER 2021-2029

With the exception of the four years of Obama....this timeline isn't all that bad as Mark Warner isn't all that extreme a Democrat.

[NDN]

Come on Mike, do you really think Americans are going to go for an ultra-conservative Catholic Indian who performs exorcisms?

[HardRCafé]

It makes about as much sense as a just elected Chicago pol Teddy Kennedy was still calling "Osama" just yesterday.

And no, that is not a swipe at Obama.

Just as conservatism was not popular enough in 1964?  Or just as Democracy was not too popular before the revolution?  Can I have a look into your crystal ball that tells you how America will feel in 10 years?

[Albus Dumbledore]

McCain
Ford

Because anti-Semitism and hardcore drug abuse are not that rampant here.

just to be interesting since this is stupid

Obama '09-'14 (assassinated)
Webb '14-17
random hispanic Republican state legislator '17-'25

[Albus Dumbledore]

Webb isn't going to be veep.

[MasterJedi]

Two scenarios:

John McCain 2009-2013
Mark Warner 2013-2021
Bobby Jindal or Sarah Palin 2021-2029


Barack Obama 2009-2013
Bobby Jindal 2013-2021
Who the hell knows 2021- ?

America will not support an utter lunatic; therefore, Paul will never win.

Really?  Then how do you explain Barack Obama's rise to power?  Obviously you do not think he will the election if an "utter lunatic" cannot win

Shut up, I don't care what you think about the man, but 75% of the country thinks that Paul's views are those of a lunatic and at the most 40% of the country thinks Obama's views are those of a lunatic.

Because the majority's always right, right? (Except for the War in Iraq, global cooling, the Holocaust, eugenics, Communism, the Inquisition, etc.)

This is about his chances of winning an election not about whether he is right or not.

John McCain (2009-2013)
Mark Warner (2013-2021)
Sarah Palin or more likely someone not on the national scene (2021-?)

Barack Obama  (2009-2013)
Mitt Romney (2013-2017)
Mark Warner (2017-2025)

My gut tells me that the next POTUS will be a one-termer, whether it's McCain or Obama.  If it's McCain, it'll be another close election in 2012 with Warner winning against either a very visibly aged McCain or against the VP since McCain has decided not to seek re-election.  Warner is easily re-elected in 2016 and Palin wins a very close election in 2020.

If it's Obama, the GOP is energized behind Romney in 2012, who wins a close election but loses to Warner in 2016.
