Deval Patrick: America's Next Black President

Hillary is taking a break the next 3.5 years and will announce that she will run. If the Republicans don't shape up, it'll be Democrats for the next few presidents.

 

Rubio 2016

 

damn!!!! nice rebut

she has the flow. she can do it. I was pulling for her from the get.

damn son...going in hard

playing the race card huh?

Shame on the idiots that only vote for candidates based on the color of their skin.

 

The only real advantage with the Republicans now is that they have some brands they can work with. The bad news with it is that they don't really have a strong candidate at the moment. Rubio is constantly used as an upcoming person, so are Jindal, Martinez, and even Haley. But none of them possess any real influence in their GOP.

If there is anyone who could do something of that magnitude, it would be Christie. But then again...it could open up a wave of third parties like Johnson.

 

I doubt that Rubio would win re-election in 2014....

 

Maybe not in 2016, but the next Democratic POTUS will be either IMO
Mass. Senator and former Harvard Law prof Elizabeth Warren,




Or Newark, NJ Mayor Cory Booker.



I agree though the odds are slim any of us sees another Black POTUS in our lifetimes.
But it would be cool if the next few POTUSES were all women, regardless of party.:smt080

 

I concur
I think Booker and Warren probably lining themselves up for prez bid down the road.

 

No, dude just no.
He only got to his seat because of a weak democrat and a strong independent.

That sit will be lost soon.

 

I think Christie is the only playable card they have atm.. and that is a HELL of a sad situation.

 

He doesn't fit the conservative model that a lot of them would favor. He's in favor of some gun restrictions and supports civil unions. So, it's a sad scenario for the reactionary wing, but for the moderate voices...could be something plausible.

But in four years we will see....

 

Will be interesting indeed.

 

I can only wager that the next four years, we may see some surprises. I mean, remember back in 2004? It was pretty much the same scenario on the Democrat's end.

 

The 2016 presidential race will be very interesting. I really don't think that the Notorious GOP will have learned anything. The Repugnants will not win national office in the foreseeable future.

My pick for 2016 Democratic presidential candidates:

(1) Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick

(2) NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo

 

I think you are correct.

 

As long as the majority of people in the US identify themselves as centre-right and the Bible Belt still remains, the GOP will still have a voice in this country. Don't ignore Mississippi and the other red states.

 

He just got the job.
Also, president Cuomo doesn't sound too good.

 

too old and has little experience. I don't think she can do the job without her emotions visiblly showing meaning you got to be thick skin to do the job.

Little experience but I await for governor Booker after this one vacates.
