Whew...I was sweating whether the 2016 GOP presidential wannabes would
include a full bowl of nutcases, instead of just Cruz, Paul, et cetera...

My "prayers" have been answered:

Rick Santorum is running for president again — and says this time will
be different

By Karen Tumulty December 9

Rick Santorum won primaries and caucuses in 11 states in 2012, coming in
a respectable second in the GOP presidential primary season. And
Republicans have a history of bestowing their nomination on the next guy
in line, usually an also-ran from the last contest.

Yet the former senator from Pennsylvania is rarely mentioned in the
already feverish pre-game 2016 chatter among the political commentariat
and the donor class.

That’s just the way he likes it. Or so he says.

“America loves an underdog. We’re definitely the underdog in this race,�
he said in an interview Tuesday. Santorum added that being
underestimated — again — “has given me a lot of latitude.�

His iconic sweater vests will likely make a return appearance. But
Santorum 2.0 will be a very different presidential campaign than the one
that came from almost nowhere to win the Iowa caucuses in an overtime
decision, he vows.

“I get the game,� Santorum said.

There is an increasing movement to convince Elizabeth Warren to run.
Wouldn't it be a hoot if she received the Democratic nomination and Ted
Cruz received the Republican? Two diametrically opposed screwballs
running for POTUS.

The only good thing that could become of that is that it might give a
sane third party candidate a fighting chance. It's doubtful though.
Too many people have the ingrained habit of voting straight Democratic
or straight Republican without giving any real thought to the actual
candidates. Trying to get legislation through congress would also be
a nightmare for a 3rd party president unless they had tremendous
leadership ability at the grass roots level.

The people who buy themselves a president every 4 years does not want
to have any 3d parties in the mix. They control the democrats and
republicans. They go out of their way not to open up any opportunity
for competition.
After Perot, you have to be a member of the team to even get to the
debates. They don't like embarrassing questions.
Harry is a symptom of the problem, simply declaring anyone who doesn't
toe his party line as being loony or nuts.



Yet another moronic statement from you. I don't think Jeb Bush is
loony/nuts. I don't think Chris Christie is loony/nuts. I don't think
Jon Huntsman is loony/nuts. I don't think Mitt Romney is loony/nuts.
None of these Republicans are candidates for whom I would vote, but not
because I think they are insane or don't adhere to the "party line,"
whatever that is, I support.

I can't see Warren gaining traction for the Democratic nomination. I
think she's great as a U.S. Senator, though.

I don't see myself voting for loonytarians, though. They're just
Republicans with less sense of civic responsibility.

Warren will stay in the Senate. If I prayed, I would pray for Cruz to
get the GOP nod.
