    The Unity Party hereby nominates

    For Vice President: Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.

    In a unique power sharing move, should the Unity Party win in 2016, Gov. Kasich and Sen. Warren agree to switch places for the 2020 election.

    Down the ballot candiates are invited to join.

    We now join your regularly scheduled program...
    You never want your VP to overshadow the top of the ticket!

    I do wonder what the future holds for Kasich. If a Trump or Cruz loses, logic would dictate the party would turn its lonely eyes to him next time. Problem is he's already in his 60's I think (64 maybe?). It wouldn't be unprecedented for a 68 year old to win (Final 4 this year are 70-68-74 and 45? maybe as of today) but non-insane conservatives are going to have to make a BIG comeback between now and then.

      As do you Kep. See, we CAN agree on something.

        Gary Johnson and Warren, maybe. Not Kasich. He's only reasonable as compared with the turnip and the teabag.

              Paul Ryan is their guy in 2020 if Hillary feels particularly vulnerable, or 2024 otherwise. Rhetoric aside, anyone on the right looking at this with their head instead of their heart can see where this thing is heading. They'll get their clocks cleaned this year, then realize that going back to moderate and electable is a better long-term strategy than being the bat**** insane party.

              That's why Ryan's big announcement came last week. He waited just long enough to get some positive buzz about potentially being the guy, but not long enough to be left with any of the stench of the upcoming Republican **** show.

                Very good point. If Trump is the nominee and they get crushed, Cruz is going to want his turn. That'll set up a very interesting contest between Cruz and Ryan...

                  They have a problem, though. The TP wave means their lower bench are all numbnuts. They've lost a generation of moderates who either looked at the primaried moderates and said "f-ck politics," or looked at the party's descent into fascism and said, "I'm switching parties."

                  Sane Republicans are already thin on the ground, and even if what you say does happen, it will get worse before it gets better.

                      Cruz's political career will be toast outside of Texas after this election.

                        As speaker, Ryan took a bit of a risk. He's got to ride out a wild election and few years to follow. Ask Boehner about risk.

                          Ryan took on a Kobayashi Maru test in assuming the role of Speaker.

                          Either hold back the Tea Party and get nothing done alienating the right wing of the party even further and hated by both the center and the right. Or you can let the tea party run wild and get savaged in the elections and know that you are doing damage to the nation.

                            Trump remembers when the towers fell, on Seven-11.

                            If I recall, that fateful day lead to Operation Slurpee Freedom.
