The OFFICIAL 2016 thread!!!

[RonPaul25]

Yeah, because we really need to pickup the swing state of Oklahoma.

Tom Coburn is legit. I'm also starting to question whether picking a guy from a swing state would really help us. The polls showed Portman/Rubio didn't do much for the ticket in their states. Also Ryan didn't help in Wisconsin.

 

[Occam's Banana]

He is only viable because he has the Paul name. Name recognition.

So what? Viable candidate is viable.

 

[jclay2]

There will be no libertarian or freedom candidate in 2016. The race will be between Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton. You heard it here first.

 

[ronpaulfollower999]

A bit premature, don't you think?

But if we're going to indulge ourselves in this, I'd like a Rand Paul/Ken Cuccinelli ticket.

Gary Johnson won't win if he runs again, LP is a waste of time and he'll never gain traction in the GOP.
Andrew Napolitano is great, but not presidential material. Don't think he'd even win a congressional race.
Jesse Ventura...lol
Justin Amash is good, but he's too young. I don't think he'll be 35 in 2016 yet to be POTUS. He might not even have his House seat.

I forgot about Cuccinelli. Amash would be good for Michigan (since it is a swing state), but Cuccinelli would have a lot more name recognition in his state AG and he is running for governor.

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

The best shot we have of electing a conservative is Demint

Umm, no and he's retiring anyway.

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

There will be no libertarian or freedom candidate in 2016. The race will be between Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton. You heard it here first.

Both parties will swing to their core base. I predict Rand Paul vs. Elizabeth Warren.

Right at this moment.. I'm just a hair more interested in 2013 and working on the home neighborhood

Party takeovers FTW

My #1 task is to get more people like us in office in 2014, so we are the leading voice for rebuilding in 2015.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Let me be the first to throw it out there: Mark Sanford.

There will be no libertarian or freedom candidate in 2016. The race will be between Marco Rubio and Hillary Clinton. You heard it here first.

They would be the favorites (in a gambling sense) to be on the tickets at this point.

 

[supermario21]

Rand vs. Warren would be a landslide for us. It would also probably truly show where we are at as a nation, considering Warren is far left and Rand is far right (in the right way).

 

[cindy25]

Scott Walker on Greta

Republicans carried 5 of 8 CD
Republicans won control of State assembly and senate

can someone tell him to change the electoral rules,and award by district

that would be 5 Rand electors in 2016

 

[cindy25]

CNN already pushing their next black, Corey Booker

he is on Morgan all the time, and he is just a mayor

 

[cindy25]

This is the official thread to begin the 2016 election season.

If there is still a United States, we should hold a Liberty primary to be decided the week before CPAC 2015. The winner of the liberty primary will get the full support of the movement along with pledged monetary support of all those who vote.

So, who should be on the candidate list?

Rand Paul
Gary Johnson
Justin Amash
Jesse Ventura

Ted Cruz has to be on any list. he is better than Rubio

Justin Amash will be 35, and a senator; still too young but a logical choice for VP

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Ted Cruz has to be on any list. he is better than Rubio

We shall see. So far so good.

 

[cindy25]

Peter Schiff should be on the list

only if he can win statewide in 2016

Governor of CT?

 

[Uriah]

Rick Santorum
Mike Huckabee
Sarah Palin
Scott Walker
Jim DeMint
Rick Perry
Bob McDonnel
Bobby Jindal
John Kasich

[Shane Harris]

Justin Amash will be 35, and a senator; still too young but a logical choice for VP

he wont be a senator

 

[cindy25]

he wont be a senator

2014 will be a huge Republican year, just as 1986 and 2006 were huge Dem years

Carl Levin will be 82, and very vulnerable

why not Amash for senator 2014?

 

[GunnyFreedom]

Yes, 2014 will be an enormous GOP year. Anybody looking at getting their feet wet would be well-advised to start planning to run.

But the guy I want to run for US Senate is still going to need loads of cash.... so don't forget me.
