2016: If not Rand, then who?

[John F Kennedy III]

In my opinion our only shot at winning the White House in 2016 is uniting behind one candidate. In my opinion it should be Rand Paul. But not everyone here likes him. So let's discuss who else we could potential get behind. State the persons name and make your case. Some of you may want to debate the point of not being able to win unless we unite behind one candidate. You can do that too, but please also name someone.

Keep it civil.

Judge Napolitano, Tom Woods, OR RON PAUL!

No one really thought Ron would ever run for president again after 2008, but he did. If he is up to it in 4 more years, he would be the best choice.

 

[Standing Like A Rock]

If Romney wins this year, we are going to have to wait until 2020 most likely.

Judge Napolitano. He would flat out eviscerate anybody any day in a debate. I don't know much about his time as a Judge in New Jersey's superior court so I can't speak for that. I CAN tell you that his speeches are the only ones that rival Ron Paul's in the way of eliciting incredibly strong emotional responses out of me. He knows our Constitution and he will walk the walk.

Gary Johnson

Would love to get behind Judge Napolitano, but after being fired from fox do you guys really think he stands a chance? Sounds like the curse of the media blackout all over again. As much as I hate to admit it we need the media AND the GOP in our corner to be sucessful.

IF dumbo gets re-elected it will be because the economy just barley hung on and I think you'll see the deck stacked with mainstream GOP folks....Jeb Bush etc.

I think you're also putting a lot of faith into the USA even having an election come 2016. I fully expect Obameny to have assumed dictator status by delcaring permant marshal law long before 2016 gets here. I hope and pray that I'm wrong.

If Ron runs in 2016 then hell yes he has my vote. Even if Rand ran against him.

 

[John F Kennedy III]

Gary Johnson

Why Gary over everyone else?

 

[cubical]

Judge Napolitano would be epic!!!

I 3rd this.

 

[jbauer]

Let me also say, that if Ron runs again in 2016 and we actually have a decent chance of having an election. I'll quit my job and devote full time to an election bid. However, I think he's done this time. If he wanted to continue to be in public life he wouldn't be leaving his Congresional seat. The man has his r3volution. I hope he's alive to see it through because we're going to make him proud!!!

Even longer.

Romney is fungible and bland enough to twist in whatever wind is blowing and hold on two terms.

Then there will be, if modern political history is any guide, eight years of another "flavor".

That means, unless you are willing to wait until 2028 to run a Rand Paul, or any liberty candidate for that matter, you had better do everything possible to torpedo Obmaney right now in 2012.

No One But Paul!

[cajuncocoa]

Judge Nap for me.

 

[Distinguished Gentleman]

The dollar will be fine, as long as Europe is chaotic.

Mike Lee is a guy I could see doing well in Iowa. With us where it counts but appeals to the broader Republican activist base.

Rand has the habit of putting himself in hard to defend posiitions and rarely shows the warm parts of his personality. I don't see him doing well on a national stage.
Amash: great guy, not sold on his political skill. I'd definitely get behind him though.
Massey:. I think he'd draw attention for his age and background. Honestly don't think it would be a bad idea. I think he'd immediately pick up Ron's crowd if he got name recognition.
Johnson: if you can't appeal to social conservatives, Iowa ain't for you.

Tom woods: my pick for entertainment value.

 

[Keith and stuff]

Whomever hires Matt Collins to be his or her campaign manager has my vote!

 

[Warrior_of_Freedom]

If not 2012, then 1776. Who honestly thinks we can keep waiting?
"Aw damn, another election stolen. I'll try again in 4 years"
Fuck. That.

There sure as shit won't be elections in 2028 if we don't elect Ron Paul in 2012.

Judge Nap...hands down.
