(34,658 posts)but he hasn't yet displayed his evilness the way his father and brother have. Anyone who would vote for another Bush would have to be a masochist.

(61,717 posts)He's sickening, thinking he's entitled to ride his family name into the WH. I've looked around on various websites; even the RWers think he's a pathetic choice and claim they'll stay home before voting for JE Bush.

(116,003 posts)threatens to provoke projectile vomiting. For me, Scott Walker is even more barf-inducing than JEB!

(9,999 posts)But I have to say that Jebby is coming across as just plain pathetic. So many missteps in so little time. He was supposed to be the adult in this field of fools. I'll puke with you Laura.

(9,999 posts)let's divide this into 2 categories. On the side of those who are not even close to being serious contenders - it would be The Donald. On the side of the possible candidates - I think it would be Scott Walker. His Koch Bros connection, his union bashing, his forced ultrasounds, his mean spirit, most of his beliefs and policies and his general creepiness put him at the top of my list. The thought of this man as President scares the bejeebus out of me. Jeb just annoys me in every way so again, I'll still puke with you Laura - LOL.

(9,999 posts)They are all pretty nauseating to me on a deep level. Knowing what every one of these fools would do to the country if they had unlimited power and could advance their agendas is horrifying to me. I was curious as to what takes Christie off your list??
Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)at them and listening to them. I definitely prefer the repukes who tell it like it is (no matter how crazy) than the mamby-pamby ones like Jeb. Although after I wrote that, I think, Hell, Cruz does that and I hate him. Hell, most of those running make McCain look normal.
Although, given all the back room shenanigans Christie pulls - I still find him the most palatable if I had to have one. Still remember him hugging Obama during Sandy. And, he pretty much said fuck you to the people who trashed him for it.
I still think that all helped in some unknown way to help Obama beat Romney.

(9,999 posts)I see where you are coming from and I understand what you are saying. I guess I can't separate out the different facets of each candidates entire persona. They just overwhelmingly piss me off, so you are a much better person then me Laura. I let the bad outweigh the good - even though I do try to believe that no one is ALL bad (except Cheney -LOL). I guess when it comes to politicians, whose policies can and do affect my life, I want much more good than bad. Get what I am saying??

(714 posts)But I honestly think that Huckabee is worse without knowing about some of the skeletons in his closet. He's had how many close associates turn out to be child molesters?

But Bush III would have me grabbing for the peptobysmal too.

(37,364 posts)Walker. Too slick by half and crazy but able to disguise it enough that he gets passes. The all out screamers and clowns don't concern me as much. Walker does and so does his record in WI.
Mira
(22,382 posts)NOBODY makes me want to puke as violently as his brother does. Or Cheney.
BUT
until recently I had the little niggling feeling that there was something to him being the "smart" one, because his mother had said it, and after all, what does it take to be smarter than *W?
Now I have looked at him a bit, and honest to god he is dumber than a rock. Fucking clueless on how to handle this candidacy, which a smart man would never attempt all things considered.
I'd like to swear on a stack of bibles he never has a chance, but then i remember saying that about *W as well.
We are in so much trouble. In those candidates satire and reality have merged - and Jon Stewart said tonight his last 6 weeks are going to be his best because Trump got in the race.
"I'm calling it comedy hospice" he said.

(50,334 posts)For some reason I think he's the most viable of the group and there are enough stupid people in this country to elect him POTUS.
