GOP primary between 12 forum posters: who would you vote for

[OSR stands with Israel]

By PCQ do you mean PQG lol .


Anyway this is my ranking (not ranking myself for obvious reasons).

Who I would vote for in a primary:
1. French Republican
2. PQG
3. Fhtagn
4. 538 Electoral

They are amazing posters and wouldnt mind them being the nominees, but the issues they are conservative on are the issues im moderate liberal on and visa versa :
5. Lechasseur
6. Fuzzy Bear
7. Thr_33

Wouldnt want them to be the nominees:
8. Haley/Ryan
9. Extreme Republican
10. Grassroots
11. SN2903

[OSR stands with Israel]

OSR and PQG are the only ones who I'd consider voting for in a GE

What about Lechasseur, as he is arguably one of the most moderate republicans on the forum too .

They would make an excellent ticket. I'd vote for that one. Lechasseur is also great, he'd be a great Secretary of State in a OSR/PQG or PQG/OSR Administration.

I dont think it would be a good idea for PQG or I to select each other as a VP pick because neither of us really would add anything to the ticket in terms of electability purposes as that ticket would be probably the least balanced ticket ever(with the potential exception of Clinton/Gore).

I would probably select Lechuasseur or Fuzzy Bear as my running mate because from an electoral purpose they would help me reach out to the Culturally Conservative Economic Moderate wing of the party I need to have a chance to win . Also both would be excellent VP's from a governing perspective so I would probably select them as VP .


As for PQG I think she probably would need to select someone like Fhtagn as her VP as she would need someone from the conservative wing from the party and given Fhtagn did a pretty good job at governing in Atlasia she would be a good pick from that purpose too.

Somebody should make a hypothetical primary map of this.

Yes that would be fun but hard.

Not really since only 3 maybe 4 would win any states. Most of the people on this list would be out by Super Tuesday

Fuzzy is way too populist for the South West.

This field actually looks like 2008 to me:

French Republican= John McCain(and he would probably win)

I =  Mitt Romney

Fuzzy Bear/Lecausser= Mike Huckabee

PQG= Rudy Giluani (Remember 2008 Rudy ran as a pretty socially liberal Republican as he defended pro-choice positions and being liberal on immigration too)

Yellowhammer= Ron Paul(Remember Ron Paul is pro life too and was very sympathetic to the confederacy)

Fhtagn/538 Electoral= Fred Thompson

Extreme Republican/ Haley/Ryan = Duncan Hunter

Grassroots= Tom Tancredo



Thr_33 and SN i really cant find any candidates who fit with 2008 given there weren't really any Socially Liberal Culturally Conservative candidates in 2008 and in the case of SN I literally have no idea

LECH! (Good politics good person)

Grossroots (Meh politics meh person)

PQG (is a lot like a McCain style to me, sh!t awful politics, but good person)

Fuzzy (meh politics meh person)

French Republican (Horrid politics, meh person)

Extreme Republican (meh politics good person)

Who I deffo wouldnt want

OSR (terrifyingly naive, but seems like an ok person)

538 Electoral, too Trumpy, but seems like an ok person

SN, too Trumpy, and seems like a bad person

Haley/Ryan, bad person bad politics

I dont know enough about the rest to have an opinion

Interesting! How are my politics worse to you than someone like Grassy?

Wah, I wanted to be John McCain.  

Bagel is much more of a economic populist while he might perceive you to be pretty right wing economically.

I dont think you would be John McCain cause McCain ran as socially conservative in 2008 while Rudy defended his socially liberal views in debate after debate. Anyway Rudy of 2007 and 2008 was nothing like Rudy of today

I don't think I would win this primary, but I think I would have a lane if the moderates did not coalesce in time.  I certainly think I would do better than the <2% I have in this poll right now.

Apart from myself, I would vote for Fuzzy Bear.  While he is certainly to my left on economics, I would be inclined to vote for him due to his faith and knowing that it would be playing a major role in the administration.  My next choice would probably be Haley/Ryan due to not totally dissimilar politics.

From there, it would be less clear and would likely depend on the campaigns, issues prioritized, and strategic voting.  Also, I know OSR has taken a couple different abortion positions over the years, so whether he ran as pro-life or not would be a big factor in how high he would go on my list.

Haley/Ryan is basically the 2015/2016 version of you.


On my position on abortion well, I would appoint Federalist judges to the court and keep all of Trump's executive orders regarding abortion.
