2016 GOP nomination race shaping up with 3 moderately insane candidates.

[MohRokTah]

You've got Romney, Bush, and Christie, all who will be going after the larger moderately insane wing of the GOP.

That means that if the totally insane wing of the party gets behind Cruz, Paul, Huckabee, or any other totally insane candidate early, they could actually stand a chance at taking the nomination. Fortunately, these people are totally insane so it's unlikely they'll think strategically and get behind a single candidate early.

3. If it is anything like 2012

It should be fun to watch. Last time the extreme fringe got behind Herman Cain and Ron Paul only to see the GOP rig their primaries to ensure the Billionaires choice, Romney, made the nomination. I expect it to replay itself with Jebbie or Mittens again.

5. The billionaires are getting smart this time.

Most of them will get behind one of the three moderately insane candidates early to put an end to the thing.

6. Probably right

They were acting pretty panicked last go around, they didn't expect the extreme fringe to actually put up any sort of fight against them.

4. The Insane Clown Posse.

7. Repukes as juggalos!

8. I refer to them as

The Royal Order of Deranged Buffoons.


Insane Clown Posse has a nice ring to it though.

9. Pataki is likely to run

But him in the moderately category with an eye on being the VP.
