Mark Halperin offers a menu of 2016 GOP presidential tickets, bonus 'Frankenstein nominee'

In the wake of Tuesday’s Republican tsunami, Bloomberg Politics managing editor Mark Halperin is doing the job that a lot of Americans just won’t do — put in writing a selection of 2016 GOP presidential tickets. We’re guessing the #ready hashtag means any of these pairs could start today (if those other tenants didn’t have two more years on the White House lease).

So, what sounds good?

Romney-Ernst, Bush-Sandoval, Christie-Rice, Portman-Snyder, Huckabee-Ayotte, Perry-Pence, Kasich-Jindal, Paul-Haley, Ryan-Baker #ready

@MarkHalperin Romney-Rice has a better ring to it

That’s great news — but we’re not sure if this monstrosity would help with that.

Frankenstein nominee: @JebBush record, @GovChristie fearlessness, @robportman likeability, @GovMikeHuckabee populism, @SenRandPaul tactics

@MarkHalperin @JebBush @GovChristie @robportman @GovMikeHuckabee @SenRandPaul that's a pretty friendly interpretation of each.
