When asked which Republican who has not yet decided to run for president should consider a 2016 bid, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol smugly suggested that former Vice President Dick Cheney throw his hat into the ring.

On ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, George Stephanopoulos asked his political panelists which “most promising” Republican has not yet decided on a presidential run in 2016.

“I go back to Mitt Romney,” Democratic strategist Donna Brazile answered. “You don’t like old faces, but you know what? He did run a good game last time”

Radio host Tavis Smiley wondered why Sen. John Thune (R-SD) hasn’t yet considered running.

“If they get to nominate Hillary Clinton, why don’t we get to nominate Dick Cheney?” Kristol then asked, smiling, as the rest of the panel began to laugh. “He has a much better record.”

“God help us all,” Smiley responded.
