Who do you think should be the next president of the United States in 2016 and why?

[CottonBolus]

Actors aren't really taken seriously in politics, but if I had to choose one celebrity to be the next president of the United States in 2016, it would most likely be Leonardo Di Caprio. At times, I think he could've been a good vice president for Obama. He and Obama would have made a great pair. Obama can use someone like him, someone who doesn't like to talk too much, who's very introverted and, in general, very thoughtful. Who do you think should be the next president of the United States in 2016 and why (and do you agree that Leo would have made a better vice president than Joe Biden)?



I am CottonBolus, and I approve this message.

[HoodedRat]

A Native American woman ... preferably a fat lesbian Satanist.


Ooops ... forgot to say 'why'.

Why not? What have you got against fat lesbian Native American Satanists?

[xbuzzerx]

Any progressive member of Hollywood/entertainment is demonized as a joke. If you're right wing and in entertainment it's fine though--- Clint Eastwood, Ronald Reagan, Arnold, etc.

Agree we need a Native President though.

[mikey3000]

I think Hillary Clinton would do a good job with Oprah by her side.

[thatgirl]

[refujiunderground]

i was going to say an elephant but that might send the wrong message where people might think i'm talking about a republican. naw.. either a siberian tiger or a cat in the white house. i mean the actual animals. a cat stamping bills with his paw. that would be cute.

or we can have in the white house. i'm voting for him if the candidates suck next time.

[oakpope]

I'm not American, so my opinion isn't worth much, but I like very much Hillary Clinton. Plus a woman President of the United States would be a good thing for the world I think. Plus she is very pro gay

[CupidBoy]

[refujiunderground]

you guys do realize if hilary runs for president and wins, that would be the first time a president got elected for a third term right?

[Benjoe]

Matt Damon because of this:

[thatgirl]

Matt Damon. I can actually see him as a crazy liberal president terrorizing conservatives.

Edit: lmao someone posted a similar comment as I was typing. Doh.

Srsly tho he is always going off about politics and social issues in the media. He is so outspoken and he doesn't give a fuck about how it effects his A-list status.

[thatgirl]

She won't be stopped in 2016,tbh. Obama and Bill will be in her service.

[BENDERBOY]

Hilary Clinton.

[Laufey]

Britney Spears. It would be a smart move for the republican party to have a young female candidate.



Bush became president and Palin almost became vice president... so why not Britney? She's already an expert in reading cue-cards in interviews. With good staff behind you that's all the qualifications needed.

[xbuzzerx]

That's that scary Honey Boo Boo girl who has a reality show.

[gsdx]

Who the fuck is that?

She is the reality TV sensation Honey Boo Boo. (Seriously, I'm not making that up.)

[HoodedRat]

She is the reality TV sensation Honey Boo Boo. (Seriously, I'm not making that up.)

I've just googled her

She's a real child who actually said that quote, and she has gay redneck uncle called 'poodle'.

Maybe I should start watching TV ... I'm missing out on stuff like this.

[gsdx]

Maybe I should start watching TV ... I'm missing out on stuff like this.

I've never seen it and I don't miss it at all. TLC is full of shows like that.

[Laufey]

There are way too many reality shows out there.

[yeahright1991]

You all do know Hillary is retiring right? Google it. Obama is already interviewing potential successors.

[GiancarloC]

Potential successors? This isn't a country where successors are handpicked. Several will emerge in the primaries. The republicans will be screwed and won't have much in the way of anyone... the democrats have a wide variety of younger faces emerging. Maybe Julian Castro or Gavin Newsom could make a run. And Hillary is only retiring from Secretary of State... she hasn't ruled out anything.

Do you know anything about politics? It's clear to me that you don't.

[GiancarloC]

ROFL. Been studying it a lot longer than some around here obviously. Primaries are anything but predictable. Just take a look at the last GOP one... it was musical chairs. That's how it goes down.

That's just not how it works. McCain certainly wasn't handpicked by Bush... the two were clear adversaries for quite some time. The only time it may appear to be an exception is if a Vice President is running. Like Bush Sr, Gore...

Now we won't see Biden run for President... he's retiring for certain.

[xbuzzerx]

Gavin Newsom.... gay male vote so guaranteed.

You dodged my question. Do you know anything about politics or not?

Even though I already know the answer, I want you to give me a response.

I answered it in the first line.

A significant fucking amount considering that is what I studied for six years.

DO YOU???? Don't answer. I already know the answer. It seems not at all.

[teadrinker]

From the far distance perspective of Australia, I think Hillary Clinton would make a superb President. And I believe the USA is one of the very few Western countries which has never had a female head of state.

-T.

It's clear to me that you really don't know anything about it at all. It's a shame your education went to waste. I feel sorry for you.

You're just one of those people who wasn't open-minded enough to learn anything in college. It's a pity.

It's clear to me you're just here to insult. I know plenty and have been involved in politics for a few years now. My education went to waste? Who do you think you are talking to? Go insult someone else please.

I know plenty and learned plenty throughout my years in college. Shifting from right of center to left wing... as I gained more knowledge. And if it is so clear to you, explain why? I guess it's just another cheap shot convenient insult.

Drop the fucking grudge.

First of all, you need to calm down. You're very angry. There's no need for that. There's no need for cursing at me - it's extremely rude and unbecoming.

I'm not being insulting. I'm just saying that you don't really know anything about your field of study, your entire education is a fraud, and you appear to be an extremely narrow-minded person. Don't take that personally - it's just something that's apparent to me.

Your posts in this thread are filled with factual errors. Hillary has strongly suggested that she desires retirement when she steps down from the Secretary of State post, for one. Biden has actually hinted at running. There's no reason at all to believe that Gavin Newsom or Julian Castro would even attempt or think about a run for President as soon as 2016 - especially Newsom who'd have a lot of trouble winning moderate voters.

I think you'd have a grasp of these facts if you were really a student of politics or political science, as you suggest. Nope, your education appears to have been a waste. Such a shame.

[xbuzzerx]

^ Ehh, every single Democrat of ANY stripe is "too radically liberal" for the right, who tries to scare the "moderate/swing" voters that they're Satan's left testicle. Apparently you don't remember how much the entire right wing smear machine advertised Hillary as to the left of Mao when she was a serious contender for the nomination.

I was cursing more at the content of your posts (or lack of).

Wow what a pile of bullshit. It's apparently you don't know anything about me. How dare you call my entire education a fraud? Do you know me? Have you ever asked me why I think the way I do? If not, then don't make any assumptions. I know plenty about my field of study. It just appears to be another cheap shot insult. How am I narrow minded? I disagreed with the poster's premise.

And you're insulting my education... how would one not take it personally?

Biden hasn't hinted at running. SHOW SOME PROOF. Biden is almost 70 years old. Where is the proof that Biden suggested he was running? Show me the article. Or else it's just another assumption on your part. Clinton... come on... she will step down form Secretary of State... but that's it. She's not out of the game.

How are these factual errors? This is ALL SPECULATION. I gave some ideas on who I THINK SHOULD run. So don't give me this bullshit about factual errors.

I think you'd have a grasp of these facts if you were really a student of politics or political science, as you suggest. Nope, your education appears to have been a waste. Such a shame.

Factual errors... dude... where is the evidence in your post? Not one article.

An article is one like this one:

Where is your proof that anything you said is true? It's not. You've just spun a bunch of lies.

You're being so dishonest about this that I question whether or not you really have that education in politics. I really doubt that you do, at this point. I wish you'd just be honest with us and tell us that you really sell T-shirts at Venice Beach or something. It's ok, no one is going to judge you if you like making up things about politics on the Internet to make yourself feel smarter. This forum is very non-judgmental.

[mikey3000]

Clearly antagonistic.

[GiancarloC]

Spun a bunch of lies? Where was I doing that? I GAVE AN OPINION ON WHO I THINK SHOULD RUN. This isn't a fact. IT was JUST SPECULATION... if even that. It was an IDEA of who I'D LIKE TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT. This entire thread is speculating on who people would like to see as President. I didn't mean to offend your sensitive nature.

Where am I being dishonest about anything? YOU DON'T KNOW ME. I am being honest. I don't sell t-shirts on Venice beach. I actually did get my education and I have no reason to lie... especially not to someone like you. Making things up is something you've done in this thread. And I still don't see one article.

Nasty hypocrisy is what I see here. It's funny how I ask for proof and I get nothing but a blank answer... with some more nasty cheapshots from someone who doesn't even have background in this field.

[xbuzzerx]

This is why we gay guys can't have nice things.

[GiancarloC]

Sorry... I'll just put the guy on my ignore list... it's obvious he's only looking to troll and insult.

Lets all get back to the thread... who people THINK should be the next President? Notice this is just asking for opinions on someone people would like to see as President.

You need to calm down, ok? You're shouting - or "e-shouting" - at me by typing in all caps.

If you were naming people you want to run, why did you say that they "could run"? You need to be more consistent here. That type of intellectual inconsistency is exactly why I just can't see you completing any sort of education in politics.

Nope, I think you've managed to spin a web of lies. The truth will set you free. I hope you can see the light one day and stop living a double life. Maybe I'll buy one of your T-shirts some day, even. Make sure you have a Green Bay Packers shirt ready for the next time I'm in SoCal.

There isn't a web of lies. I am being honest with who I am. I don't need to prove myself to a compulsive liar. Thanks for posting your usual trolling bullshit and have a nice day. And thanks for showing how much of a nasty hypocrite one can be.

Welcome to my ignore list!

You already said you put me on your ignore list. Am I on it yet or not? I'd really like to know. It'd be sad if you're even lying about that. Yeesh, is this what a compulsive liar looks like? It's a really sad display. I feel pretty bad for you now, man.

I want to make sure you've put me on your ignore list already. I think you need to, for your own good. It's not good for your mental health to keep responding to me. You just keep getting angrier and angrier. I don't think you're equipped to deal with the truth, and I just post with too much honesty.

Russ Feingold, former Wisconsin U. S. Senator.

[GiancarloC]

Even though she ruled it, you never know. It can always happen... we don't know what will happen in the next few years

Frank, I didn't think of Feingold... good suggestion...

[penayforay]

Clinton Winfrey 2016

[RazorzEdge88]

Russ Feingold, former Wisconsin U. S. Senator.

I don't think he'd run nor stand a chance, but if I had to hand-pick an ideal President, this would be it.

He was the last bastion of honesty and principles of justice in the Senate before those guileless twits in Wisconsin voted him out.

[cgymike]

2016 is a very long way off. Canadians would have zero interest in 2016 American elections....But we may be interested in 2068.

(Ha - you calculated - dork!)

[MissAnne]

Hilary would be my choice......but I would like to call Leo Dicaprio Mr. President in the bedroom

[Laufey]

How the hell did Winfrey's name get thrown in there?

It might be a good tactic to have two women running together, one white and one black.

Has someone ever run before as VP without being politically elected before?
