Throw in an ethnic name, and it's "can't lose".

7. "RE: Make that 1,999,999 reversing birthers..." |
Rubio? He has questionable bona fides. It was not an uncommon practice at one time (I actually had an Granpa who did this) to fudge a birth certificate to indicate a US rather than Cuban birth. In his case he did it twice, the first time changing it from Spanish to Cuban. I'm pretty sure ICE doesn't read these boards. Right? Right! It may be disappointing for most of you to know that, although I also have an ethnic surname (European), I will not be throwing my hat into the presidential ring this year. If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve. If convicted, I will... well I will have that presidential pardon power in my back pocket.

Is there anyone who wants to see another Clinton vs Bush Presidential election? And does anyone see any way to avoid it? What is it about these two families?

I don't know, there are lots of factors. The GOP hasn't won a general election without a Bush on the ticket since 1972, that ought to be prime conspiracy theory fodder.

How different history would be if Reagan had not chosen Bush as a running mate in 1980. I've read that Reagan changed his mind to Bush pretty late in the process.

Great idea for a thought experiment;
- whoever was VP under Reagan likely would have run, and possibly won in '88. - he (or whoever was president, actually) would have intervened if Saddam invaded Kuwait. Only George H. Bush would have stopped the war when he did, though. IMO, that was one thing that almost no one else would have done. Continuation of that war and toppling Saddam then may have really changed what happened in the following 25 years. - But he (whoever was president) very well may have had a son of the right age and already in politics.
- That son may have run for pres. using the prestige of his father's name. - Regardless, whoever did run and win very well may have also swallowed the implication that (bolstered by Saddam's actions) he had those WMD's. Saddam's evasiveness was very suspicious. - And whoever was president would have surely invaded Afghanistan after 9/11. If 9/11 happened under that scenario. - And he also very well may have become impatient with Saddam's evasion tactics of the inspection teams, and that coupled with the rage in regard to Al Qaeda could have led him to Invade Iraq, deciding that that was the only way to avoid Saddam using those weapons. Names may very well been different, and there are a lot of ifs, but history may very well have been largely the same.

From the behind the scenes accounts of Reagan advisors I've read (naturally these can be taken with a grain of salt), the person who would have been VP was Gerald Ford. Walter Cronkite questioned Ford about a co-presidency and Ford gave a non-answer that caused Reagan to switch to Bush. Ford's four children have never run for political office.

LAST EDITED ON 03-27-15 AT 09:07 AM (EST)To be clear, I hope we don't have another Bush v. Clinton contest too. I really do. I disagree with many of their positions, and either might be a capable president, but well, just NO. Anyway, to continue the thought experiment, the elder Bush wasn't responsible for Iraq invading Kuwait, and the younger didn't instigate 9/11. It wouldn't really have mattered who was president at those times, our reaction would very likely have been the same. So a lot of what has happened very well could have happened no matter who was in the hot seat. Even with the second Iraq invasion, things weren't as clear then as they are now, and as many would have us believe. The unintended after effects weren't all that predictable either. The threat of those invisible but not disproven and very possibly real WMDs could have induced whoever was president to get rid of Saddam once and for all. But Ford as VP? Hadn't heard that before, and it's a bit hard to believe that a man who had been president would then consent to be a VP. His sons may not be in politics, but a lot of ex-presidential relatives are. I can't even count the number of Kennedy's that have run for office. And, of course, there's the Bushes. To me it's obvious that Chelsea is being groomed for a political role. Cuomos, Romneys, Gores, etc. etc. My feelings: Cruz? Just NO there too. I kinda wish Christy wasn't in such a bind and could be a serious candidate on the republican side. I don't see much hope for a candidate for me to like on the Dem. side. I said up there ↑ that Clinton might be a capable president, but to be honest, I have grave doubts about her as a leader in times of crisis.

Well, that would make 5 straight prez elections where Dems run against a Bush.??? 1988
1992
2000
2004
2016 I think I'm missing something here. As far as tiebreakers go, let's use the FIFA system. Everyone has ten minutes to put all their money on the table. Biggest bribe wins. If you're American, you've gotta support that. Or rather, if you believe your donors have more money than everyone else's. Which is really American.

I was thinking top spot. I honestly don't know if Bush I went through the primaries in 1980, but I don't think 1984 should count on the locked-in VP rank.

He may not have been on the ticket, but they still used the Bush name at every opportunity.
