2016 tip sheet

Is it too early to handicap the 2016 presidential race?  Yes.  It is.  But it’s what’s on mind this morning so here we go.

Chris Christie for now is done.  He’d have been better off getting four people in Trenton killed due to negligence on his part, initially blaming the loss of life on a Katy Perry video and then shrugging the whole thing off with a “hey, come on.  It’s me the - Chris man. Yoos guys knows yoos love me.  Fuggetaboutit, besides, what difference does it make.”  The good news for Christie is that his scandal came early. By 2016 most Americans will know as much about NJ bridgegate as they do about Billy Dale.

Ted Cruz would make a great president.  It’s unlikely that he’ll get the nod.  Cruz’s millstone is the same as Chris Christie’s – it’s too early.  But while Christie has time for people to forget, Cruz has time for the Dope lapdog media to hold him responsible for everything from the government shutdown to the huge pothole over on Coldwater rd. in Ft. Wayne, IN.  Cruz also has the disadvantage – advantage in my opinion – of taking flak from both sides.  Not only do the Dopes dislike Cruz, Rats like Pete King and McCain don’t care for him either.  That makes Cruz “The Man” in my book, but it’s a lot to overcome, and given my track record in handicapping these things the last thing Cruz wants is an endorsement from Lex.   Oh, and has anyone noticed that while Cruz was being lambasted from both sides for filibustering for a delay in Roberstscare, King SFB issued the delay unilaterally without so much as a word from the Dopes, lapdogs or Rats who were lambasting Cruz for demanding the exact same thing?

Marco Rubio drove a steak through his own heart by teaming up with the gang of 8 on immigration.  Note to Rubio:  Do not associate yourself with anything referred to as “the gang of (fill in the blank),” particularly if that “gang” includes McCain and/or Grahmnesty.  But Marco got back on track with his epic take-down of fake war hero Tom Harkin.  Yeah, it seems while Cambodian war hero John François Kerry was in make-believe battles with the Kamere Rouge in Cambodia, Tom Harkin was providing fighter support over Vietnam – only thing is both are liars.  Sadly, that is a resume enhancer in the Dope party.

Rand Paul is the guy that I most identify with right now.  If he can avoid his dad’s neo-isolationism, he might have a chance.  He has such a matter of fact way of making his case even while he pokes a very sharp stick deep into the eye of Billbo Billy Boy Clinton.   It will take that kind of no holds barred easy going “kill all of the prisoners” kind of style to deal with the type of lying hypocrites who populate the Dope party and their lapdog acolytes.

Jeb Bush is not for me even though I voted for him for Gov of FL three times.  Jeb is an establishment weakling.  No thanks.

Mitt Romney, in my honest opinion, still has the best skill set to successfully guide the country back onto some sort of sustainable upward trajectory.  I know it's crazy.  But just think of how much better off we'd be right now had he carried 2012.  He’s not running, but if he were and my vote was cast solely for the guy I thought best suited for the job of helping America, Mitt would get it.

Right now I’m a Rand Paul guy.  With Lex’s rousing endorsement, Paul implodes in 3,2,…

I would like a governor. I would go for Scott Walker and John Bolton the VP. The MSM is already in full out attack mode. Take Hillary in the 1990's. We are told that is old news. But Romney at Bain Capital in the 1990's was fair game in 2012. He was portrayed as a mean, callous, greedy, arrogant, business shyster. He is also Mormon, has big squeaky clean family, church leader, and gives away $20M/yr to church and charities. But instead we get a real law degreed shyster, SFB Pres.
