Who Will Be The First To Flee The 2016 GOP Prez Cuckoo’s Nest?

Posted by | August 13, 2015 12:00 | Filed under: Politics


The Hill takes a look at which candidates are likely to drop out of contention for the 2016 GOP presidential nod, and why:

Of the crowded 2016 GOP primary field, who will be the first to head for the exits?

It’s impossible to know for sure at this early stage, but a handful of high-profile campaigns are already showing serious signs of strain six months out from Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses on Feb. 1.

Super PACs have changed the game, enabling struggling candidates tochoose to stay in the race as long as they’re propped up by deep-pocketed donors. But as Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich proved in 2012, having a wealthy mega-donor in your corner can’t buy you the nomination.

Yes, Rick “Can’t Pay My Staff” Perry is on the list. You can find The Hill’s remaining six picks for fleeing the “cuckoo’s nest” here.

    Well lets see. Lindsey is hovering right around zero, and Rocket scientist Rick might just get hauled off to jail. It really is anyone’s guess.https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e5ce007488d53e6394793f42bf7e95d322eefdee6f294c2edfdadb27640e54af.jpg

    The Top Secret on my private unsecured server skank will go first..

    • Carla Akins August 13th, 2015 at 15:20

      What the hell does that mean?

        It means bobby the booby is an anti-Hillary, ODS stricken fool.

      Don’t call a woman a ‘skank’ here please, THANKS!

      ^^^Oh look, a little lying knuckle draging troll.

      Off topic. Also off his Ritalin.

    Carly should have been first but Cruz paid her half a million to stay on as the lone female so they would have a pit bull to sic on Hill.

    I got em in this order…

    Jindal the white Indian exorcist is already out
    Crotch Perry will be off to jail next
    Ms Lindsey will swoon and fan herself, then faint
    Aqua Buddha’s squirrel will run away from home and leave him naked from the forehead up
    Frothy’s wife will probably need another abortion, so there’s that
    Uncle Tom Carson will discover his inferior frontal gyrus is actually inferior to most other’s

    Pataki…???? Who was that guy again…???
    Rubio’s mom won’t let him stay up past 11pm until he grows up
    Crispy Creme follows Crotch off to jail
    Wanker sucked a good Koch but the boys never came so he’s out
    Cruz won’t be able to produce his birth certificate

    Leaving Trump, Kasich, and the Shrub, to battle it out for the nomination and then lose to a girl (or a socialist ) in the main event…

    The real question should be… “will the country even make it until Nov 2016”?
    It looks doubtful.

      Obama is still President ’til then, so chances are good that we’ll be okay. If a megalomaniac like Trump gets a hold of an arsenal of nuclear weapons, all bets are off.

      • billr August 13th, 2015 at 22:25

        Someone should nuke that Godzilla living on top of his head.

          I think it’s a feral tribble.

          • Robert Kennedy August 13th, 2015 at 23:38

            May his hairy tribble multiply and crawl into every orifice.

          That would only spread it though out the land and it would be radioactive.

        Not so sure Obama will last until the end of his term. He is really starting to look old lately.

        • jasperjava August 15th, 2015 at 23:13

          To me, he looks energized, a happy warrior kickin’ himself some ass with a devil-may-care attitude.

      Big News report today says California might wash into the Pacific this winter. Huge El Neno coming in.

    The back door on the Republican Clown bus is open. Can we start a lottery on who will be the first, second, third , and so on that falls out on their heads.
