Chuck Todd, and Morning Joe "Republicans have a deep bench."




They also believe Rubio, and Christie are great speakers. Those clowns would be lucky to make it as walk on"s on our bench. On second thought nah! More like equipment managers, or water boys.

A deep bench until Christie sat on it? No offense to anyone else who might be overweight, but Christie is a jerk. So I make fun of him.

chewing each other up in "Deathmatch 2016", our nominee (Hillary or Joe or Andrew or Martin or Elizabeth) will likely be in a prime position to beat the snot out of them.

Look, I'm as big of a football fan as ever walked the earth. But when people try to conflate sports with politics it just always sounds stupid.

I had to laugh at my rushpublican "friends" who kept bringing up Rubio, Sanchez and Alan West (yes, that douchenozzle) as showing how "diversitifed" the rushpublican party has become. BTW...how many women were given prominent speaking roles who weren't married to a candidate (doing the "good wifey" routine)? Joey thinks he's the uberpundit these days...trying to distance himself from the disaster that is today's rushpublican party and trying to position himself as the "savior" of the party once it implodes.

20. Republicans Have ONE Candidate With 1,000 Faces
Fri Sep 7, 2012, 10:58 AM
Sep 2012

Republicans have been cut from the same die ever since George W. Bush. They all have the same beliefs. The problem for them is that the voters keep going to the polls and voting against them. So when I see all these potential candidates they supposedly have, all I see is just another pale imitation of George W. Bush in ALL of them. If they can't find someone with new, better ideas, they'll keep losing elections.

I mean, when your big hope for winning in 2016 is by going back to yet another Bush, that's pretty sad.

And let's think about this "deep bench" for a second. They have all these great candidates waiting in the wings, and not ONE of them could manage to overcome this twit that they're running this year? Doesn't sound like they have much in the cupboard at all. Mitt Rmoney couldn't even get 50% of REPUBLICANS to vote for him when it was just him and another guy running against each other. Yet I'm supposed to believe that they're stocked with great candidates for future years?

Yeah, Chuckie, pull this leg and plays "Jingle Bells."
