That's ridiculous! No way he'd accept that sort of demotion...

The reactions from the commenters here alone would justify it. Let's draft him!

He'd probably do a better job than most of the schlubs we've had over the past few years.

I don't think Netanyahu would like taking orders from the Israeli PM.

What's the going rate for a birth certificate attested to by a midwife on the American border with Mexico?

I assume every document has a price.

Bibi should be able to buy one.

I think it'd work, but Netanyahu would have to drop his support of border security. That might be too controversial for the GOP establishment.

Agreed, I have always been baffled by the GOP's inability to get strong candidates for the presidency. I think it might have to do with the fact that we don't have a parliamentary system unlike most other important industrial countries. Parliamentary debate produces polished and intelligent public speakers and debaters, whereas in the U.S. we pull yahoos out of the sticks like Quayle and Palin and make them VP candidates, which then means they are considered Presidential timber when the top of the ticket loses an election. Could anyone imagine the train-wreck that Sarah Palin would be in a British-style parliamentary debate? But in this country a bunch of kooks will put her into play if she wants to be, and who knows she might actually win the nomination which will be followed by a thorough beating by Obama in November.

Not only all of the above, but Bibi spent more of his youth in the lower 48 than our current POTUS.

He sure sounds more American.

I would love to have someone like Bibi Netanyahu on our side. No such luck.

I'm wondering if Rick Perry will get in(I'm not really a fan). I thought we'd had too much Texas already, but everyone else is dropping out.

Maybe getting beaten twice will be good for Republicans (that is, Middle American Whites). They need to see they are about to lose it all.

With Netanyahu at the top of the ticket, I think the Republicans would have a shot at getting as much as 35 percent of the Jewish vote.

Unless the Dems nominate Jon Stewart. Then forget it.

More than a few neocons have only half jokingly advocated the very same thing. Surely the birth certificate's not a problem. Congress would be glad to pass a resolution declaring Bibi a natural born citizen. Anyway, I still say THIS.

You're right that Netenyahu's position on border control is a problem to the WSJ section of the GOP.

However I think we could neutralise this with a good VP pick- Vicente Fox.

I've noticed that the Jewish vote and Jewish financial support for the Democratic party being mentioned in the media for the first time in a long time. I wonder if it will sink into the heads of Christian Zionists that Jews don't really like them not matter how hard they try.

Now, Bibi's a m-a-n! An alpha male, for sure.

He oozes T. And that scar on his lip is very, very sex-AY.

The joke's on you. While there is much to deplore about Bibi and Israeli politics in general, the fact is he 's a no-holds-barred partisan for his own side (Israel and the Jewish people). All very non-inclusive to be sure, but shouldn't Americans expect a President whose first aim is for what's good for America and its people?

If we can't get him, can we get Maggie Thatcher, or maybe Kasparov?

Throw in Joe Lieberman as VP and I think you have the ultimate Republican ticket.

"The ideal GOP Presidential candidate."

Marco Rubio? He is as conservative as they come, extremely bright(graduated with honors) and all-American(former college gridiron star), extremely charming, eloquent and charismatic, and he has the most important thing going for him: he is a minority. He is the GOP's Obama.

GOP and the Jews is like GOP and the superrich. Most Jews hate the GOP but the GOP is more slavish to Jews than the Dem Party ever was. And 2/3 of the superrich supported Obama, but the GOP is more pro-superrich and talks as though WAll Street guys are poor poor victims of Obama--when in fact their money played a not insignificant role in his election.

GOP pretty much ignores the interests of the white middle class because it can take the loyalty of WMC for granted. Why woo someone and bring her boxes of chocolates if she's faithful to you no matter how many times you slap her around and cheat on her? GOP has been cheating the white race on issues such as affirmative action, illegal immigration, and 'ownership society', but the white race still sticks to the GOP as the white party. GOP is less the party of whites than the party of white spouse abuse.

You left out that Bibi, like American presidents used to be, is a military veteran. A special forces officer in fact, and moreover a veteran of a war in which his side was outnumbered, outgunned and faced at-least-equal technology. We haven't had a candidate like that since maybe Andrew Jackson.

Why not? Might as well make it official. It can be a reserved position, like media boss or Supreme Court Justice.

The Republican Party nominates lousy candidates for the same reason that the conservative movement is a total failure - they're paralyzed by race. They're caught between the unsolvable problem of appealing to both their overwhelmingly white constituency and the parasites who want to feed off of that constituency. The parasites have the media and the rest of the establishment on their side, and are rapidly becoming the majority. Republican candidates try to balance this by being bland and inoffensive or by being over the top in support for "minorities" while feeding their hapless supporters wars, fear, and a police state. This latter stratergery is the end game for Big C conservatism and the Republican Party, it can't be kept up, something they must know, but they're trapped by their past support of the invasion. They'll soon have to resort to nominating a string of non-white candidates who will make clear to all but their stupidest supporters that the Republican Party can no longer even pretend to stand for traditional conservatism or the traditional American nation. These house minorities hate the white Republican voter as much as their Democratic counterparts do. (With few exceptions, white female candidates like Palin are tokenist bridges between white and non-white power. But if you vote for Palin you'll still get war since the third-worldization of America hasn't quite kicked in yet and there is a desperate need among most Republican voters to pretend, by a display of power, that it isn't really near and isn't really a disaster.)

The main reason he's not running for US Chief Executive is that he's already controlling US foreign policy...

"The logical end point of trends brewing within the GOP since the first Nixon Administration."

Can you spell out what you think these trends are?

After seeing Netanyahu's speech to Congress today, I can honestly say I would vastly prefer Netanyahu to be U.S. President over Obama. I am not kidding.

At least he speaks like an adult, unlike our presidents of the last two decades.

I know the sample is skewed, but this is noteworthy. I'm a Facebook fan of Fox News, and Fox News posted that Sean Hannity would be interviewing Netanyahu. A startlingly large number of people (with non-Jewish surnames) are commenting on Facebook that they wish Netanyahu could be our President.

Rush Limbaugh, on his show today: "Throughout this speech I kept shouting at the TV, 'Run, Bibi, run!' We can find a birth certificate for you somewhere."
