Who do you think the republican knight in shining armour will be?

[Horse with no Name]

It makes me want to gag, but I swear I think it will be Jeb Bush....

[Cronus Protagonist]

1. Bush/Palin

No brainer.

[onehandle]

2. Romney Romney Romney.

And based on recent poll numbers, Rubio may not be as dead as VP as I thought.

[PoliticAverse]

3. Don't see Americans voting for a third Bush. n/t

[kentuck]

4. Let's see...?

Their convention is being held in Florida. It's difficult to see any of the present candidates garnering a majority of the delegates. Jeb Bush would be a logical choice. He will be very popular at that convention.

[madinmaryland]

5. Jeb Bush. Palin will NOT be VP for anyone, because she is uncontrollable.

[Jackpine Radical]

6. Newt the

Newt.

[KamaAina]

12. Right on cue, he's rising in the polls

all the way to second in one.

[Jackpine Radical]

17. That is a sign of rising desperation. Nobody actually LIKES

Newt the Grinch.

[greendog]

22. Gingrich the Newt

[Jackpine Radical]

25. As in #6 above?

[TBF]

7. Well I thought it would be Perry so I don't know if my guess will be any good -

but at this point I too would guess it's Jeb. What a motley crew.

[liberal N proud]

8. It will NOT be any of the current field of candidates

[alfredo]

9. David Duke

[Warpy]

10. It's Mitt "it's his turn" Romney and has been since 2008

when they ran John "it was his time in 2000, but better late than never" McCain.

The race to watch is 2016. That's when Jebbie will try to swoop in, secure in the knowledge that the average Republican will have forgotten what a total fuckup his big brother was and how Jebbie helped cheat him into office by refusing to allow a full state recount. The rest of it will be an unmitigated mess, all the various parts of the Reagan coalition ready to murder each other.

If Jebbie doesn't swoop in to "save" them in 2016, they'll have a hard time coming up with a candidate, period.

[LiberalArkie]

11. How about Huntsman?

[Horse with no Name]

14. Huntsman isn't batshit crazy enough

therefore, not viable to the nutjobs.

[valerief]

13. Michael Moore intimated it was Barack. nt

[Davis_X_Machina]

19. I thought he was running Matt Damon. n/t

[valerief]

20. Barack is running Damon? nt

[Major Nikon]

15. It's too late for anyone new to jump in the game

The primaries start in 7 weeks and it's already too late to get on the ballot.

[Horse with no Name]

16. I think they would make exceptions. n/t

[Davis_X_Machina]

18. Buy all the Romneys you can get, at the market.

There will be no white knight. The nomination is Romney's.

It's too late for anyone else.

[yellowcanine]

21. Newt will be the knight in rusty armor.

[maxrandb]

23. I think it will be this Knight

Of course, it is true that "you can't yield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you"

[Jakes Progress]

24. jeb can come out of the woodwork,

but I think newt will get it. He lies, he lies, and he lies. All three of the qualities needed to be a republican candidate.

[customerserviceguy]

26. If you think that

Then you have zero understanding of the Repukes. Jebbie is way too progressive on the issue of illegal immigration for about 70% of Republicons.
