The Next US President

[The False Guwuh]

In one year, after two terms under Barack Obama, the US will have a new president. The people who stand a real chance at becoming president and have announced candidacy are as follows (in no particular order):

DEMOCRATIC PARTY:
Former Governor Lincoln Chafee (Rhode Island)
Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (New York)
Former Governor Martin O'Malley (Maryland)
US Senator Bernie Sanders (Vermont)
Former US Senator Jim Webb (Virginia)

REPUBLICAN PARTY:
Former Governor Jeb Bush (Florida)
Dr. Ben Carson (Florida)
Governor Chris Christie (New Jersey)
US Senator Ted Cruz (Texas)
Former IRS Commissioner Mark Everson (Mississippi)
Businesswoman Carly Fiorina (Virginia)
Former Governor Jim Gilmore (Virginia)
US Senator Lindsey Graham (South Carolina)
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (Florida)
Governor Bobby Jindal (Louisiana)
Governor John Kasich (Ohio)
Former Governor George Pataki (New York)
US Senator Rand Paul (Kentucky)
Former Governor Rick Perry (Texas)
US Senator Marco Rubio (Florida)
Former US Senator Rick Santorum (Pennsylvania)
Donald Trump (New York)
Governor Scott Walker (Wisconsin)

Who would you like to see as the next US President? I am personally a fan of Rand Paul. I would least like to see Hillary "Women have always been the primary victims of war" Clinton or Donald Trump as president.

and im putting this separate from the politics thread because its not about the uk

I'm impressed that they are coincidentally alphabetically arranged.

I heard a while back that Jeb Bush was looking to run too, though i don't know if he actually will or not.

i didn't even try to make a thread about us presidents i just pressed random keys and submitted whatever came out

[pokemaniac212]

I presume from that list that Jeb Bush hasn't announced his candidacy yet, although I strongly suspect he will do soon enough. Would be interesting to see a Bush v Clinton contest again, and actually pretty likely in my opinion.

[The False Guwuh]

Jeb Bush is a walkind disaster, I hope he doesn't become the Republican nominee. He is constantly saying stupid eton mess like this that will quickly make him as unpopular as romney

i do agree with him about christian businesses though (something that this article is clearly trying to smear him with)

wheres ron paul when you need him

[row101]

I'm rooting for Bernie Sanders, personally. He's doing a Reddit AMA at 9PM here, actually. I'm gonna be there, we'll see if I can get a reply.

He's a self-described Democratic Socialist, more in line with the Labour Party on his policies. I like him.

[Fabong]

I really hope Donald Trump doesnt get it

[Yinga Garten]

waiting for rick santorum to announce his run

[Bix]

Martin O'Malley has a nice ring to it .. makes me think of The Aristocats Disney movie ..

I hope I wasn't supposed to come up with a decent, more logical reason ..

[Rai]

Vote Bobby Jindal cause he's brown.

Bloody hell he's been going for four hours. I'm never really fussed until the final two candidates for the two parties are decided, it'd be good if the Tea Party faction were no where near the White House but apart from that I'm not too concerned for the outcome of this election.

[Quarg Ranger]

Come on Bernie.

Rand Paul

do you do anything that isn't a meme

[Blaxel411]

Inb4 Hilarry Clinton wins because "America needs a female president"

[Pineapple]

Are you particularly opposed to the US having a female president?

[barrybarryk]

I think it's more being opposed to someone becoming the U.S. president because they're female with little consideration given to them being an chelsea bun

[Highlight]

I'll be very surprised if Hillary doesn't get in, although a lot can happen in 18 months. Donald Trump has a less than nil chance to be honest, even Mitt Romney was a more credible candidate (and he was a complete idiot).

[barrybarryk]

I doubt it really matters who gets elected in the US, either way we'll get a psychopath intent on levelling the middle east to dust. Again. And the UK will get dragged into it. Again. And then when voters get fed up, we'll pull out and wash our hands of the whole thing, maybe even demonise people fleeing the eton mess we created because they're filthy immigrants that want your job. Again.

I'm particularly opposed to the logic that "she'll be a good president on account of her vagina".
