You don't think Jeb can make a dent in the Latino vote, with his wife and his Spanish?

Doesn't the fact that Cruz was born in Canada preclude him from being president? Or does that only apply selectively?

I want Sarah Palin on every single media venue ever. And when she doesn't get the GOP nom, she should totally run independent.

One of my favorite political things EVER was the SNL "spoof" of Katie Couric's Palin interview, indelibly burned into my brain. I don't think I laughed so hard in my life.

Nope. Jeb Bush can NOT possibly win over Hillary.

He will never win over the far right of the GOP, and he needs them to overcome all the moderates and women who will move back from the GOP to vote for her.

He is not clever enough to straddle those opposing Republican forces. He trips over his words and stumbles into his former positions. He is no match for her.

It's difficult to imagine Hillary not learning from the mistakes of 2008, and lacking errors from her or her campaign, she will be hard to beat.

The biggest danger in a "sure win" is that idiot voters won't go out to vote, making it a loss. Never underestimate the combination of American stupidity and laziness...

Or the ability to do everything possible to make it hard for poor people to vote, that is their ace in the hole.

Honestly, the biggest threat to Hillary would be internal competition from the Democrats. If, for some reason, someone like Elizabeth Warren decided to run, it could potentially throw the party ito disarray instead of the strategically more advantageous position of uniformly backing one candidate from the get-go.

(That is not to say I think Warren will decide to reverse her oft-stated refusal to run, she is merely an example).

You won't have Mitt Romney to kick around anymore.

Re the Ted Cruz' eligibility question, you can google it. The site I read explained that the Constitution says "natural-born citizen" and most legal scholars think Cruz qualifies because his mother is a citizen of the USA, so Cruz himself was an American citizen at birth, even in Canada.

But the question has never been addressed by SCOTUS, so some doubt remains.

Remember George Pataki? He was New York's most boring governor. He's exploring a run for 2016. What are these people thinking? This man is the most boring person on Earth. No personality whatsoever!

The more Huckabee talks, the more I REALLY want him to run because he's so far out there. He's so entertaining, but also frightening. Unlike a lot of politicians who pander to their "base," I get the sense Huckabee actually believes the nonsense coming out of his mouth.

Can't they all just move to a special "Republican Island" and pray and speak in tongues and talk about guns, grits and gravy for the rest of eternity? I've proposed this plan before, and I think it's valid.

That's what makes him so endearing to voters of a certain ilk.

Christie's bizarre anti-vaccine comments will be the final nail in his rather large coffin. I don't even think he's viable as a VP anymore, given his proclivity to frequently wander off the reservation and act like a bully.

Jeb is in but you're quite alone in thinking he can win.

He's got no support from the conservative wing, and there's no love (or money) coming to him from Republican moderates.

So who does that leave? (Other than you?)

Probably the first and only time I will agree with PalJoey. Jeb is a fool to run. Nobody wants to see a dynasty. And even if he wasn't a Bush, he doesn't have a strong enough platform to win.

However, these people aren't in it to be POTUS. They are in it to earn money.

I wouldn't declare Hillary the nominee just yet. I think the Democrats should think very hard about who they put up. Hillary ain't it.

Can someone explain to me why everyone seems to be so solidly convinced Hillary is unbeatable? Do we really not think that both candidates are each going to get close to 50% of the votes, as has happened in the last four elections? I just don't get the hubristic confidence in Hillary's power to defeat whatever Republican that's foisted upon us.

I imagine folks probably think Clinton will win because she's polling well and the GOP is in total disarray. Add to that how close she came 6 years ago to the nomination and it would seem she has a large base.

Also(or rather primarily), she has lots of $$$$.

But once things solidify and the circus primary season is over I think things will become much tighter.

And no, Jeb has no chance.
