Freeper Survey.Your "Any Combination GOP Ticket Prediction.Pick Four Likely&Viable Candidates.

Posted on 01/31/2015 5:01:08 PM PST by Cruz_West_Paul2016

Being Mitt is out of the picture, and we can make a pretty good presumption of a final 10 or so candidates, let's see if we can narrow it down to four potential candidates and come up with a "Final Four Any Combination Ticket". Is it safe to put Scott Walker in the mix? How about Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz? Will the "Veep" be a Senator/Congress Member/Governor not in the race? Lets hear some of your predictions. You can even choose your top two choices and their likely VP picks. Odds are most of us will put either Walker and Cruz on the lists. But Jeb Bush? Maybe not?

Reagan was grassroots, and Bush was GOPe and it worked. Why couldn’t Cruz/Walker? If we’re looking for a repeat of Reagan, we will have to throw a bone to the GOPe. Not that I want to.

How3 about we hold all the primaries on the same day ??? Winner take all...

That along with Closed Primaries too boot we might see better presidential choices and a better POTUS. By the time the Tennessee Primary gets here I'm already looking at Independents due to the remaining unsuitable choices in the GOP. The better ones of course being voted out by the more Liberal states and Dem Voter primary wreckers. Make the National Primary Day First Tuesday in August year of election. It would also likely allow the campaigning too start a year later as well.

A Clone of Ted Cruz? Liberal heads would be exploding across the country.

Agree with same day voting in primaries. I’d go further and cancel absentee ballots, exempting military and diplomatic staff only.

You can’t vote on that day? Too bad. No more early voting options.

If we use digital machines, there should also be a paper receipt showing how we voted so that there is a paper trail too.

It didn’t work. The Bush years are responsible for as much of the problems we are facing today. We should try to avoid a GOPe VP, stepping in after 8 years of fixing the problems they created and repeating what happened after Reagan.

Watch how Jeb does in the open primary states.Lots of Dems there to poison the process.But the paid-for pundits will holler from the roof tops about how he's the people's choice.

Possibly. But I think Hitlery, and the dimwits, I mean democrats, might think twice about cloning Abe when they find out that he was a Republican.

Yep. They won’t let the mistake of Reagan happen again. Frankly, it’s silly to think otherwise.

I won’t vote for Walker. He is GOPe and has little other on his resume but for the union thing...not terribly impressed.

Got a good concealed carry bill passed in the second to last hold out state.

Won the County Exec position in heavily Dem Milwaukee

Given numerous anal probes by national labor organizations, dozens of reporters and the DNC, squeaky clean

Defunded Planned Parenthood

Got preparations for iron mining going again despite being in one of the states with the most committed enviro-whackos

Voter ID

Tax payer rebates after labor reforms resulted in a surplus

Don't look to the MSM for details about Walker's resume. Ask the Wisconsinites on the board. You had to be there.

She would clone herself and make the clone live in Illinois or Arkansas. But then the clone will decide to kill her.

Ted Cruz - President
Bobby Jindal - Vice President

In my estimation, that represents the ideal GOP ticket.

Recall the problem with Reagan/Bush. Bush didn't share Reagan's philosophy. Consequently, his administration walked away from the conservative philosophical underpinnings of the Reagan administration.

Cruz is an ideological leader, like Reagan. He can change the direction of the country, like Reagan. As a successor, Jindal, a skilled nuts & bolts governmental administrator, can set about rebuilding the federal government to a size and role more fitting to its constitutional duties.

Perfect!

Are we talking “realistically can be elected” top four, or “Oh, wouldn’t it be great if America woke up to reality” top four?

Walker at 15% surges to the head of the pack in Iowa, according to BloombergPolitics:

Washington Post claims Jebster is the frontrunner:

But I just don’t see Jeb winning any early primaries.

A few weeks ago, there was an article that southern states were wanting the RNC to move their primaries up to early March. [Many of them have late spring primaries, so the nominee is usually decided long before those state primaries are even held.]

If they succeed, we could see a whole different primary season. Otherwise, we will see a repeat of 2008 and 2012 with the GOPe preference most likely winning.

Tough to take seriously the "electability" argument in light of what's sitting in the white house now.
Cruz
Perry
Walker
Palin...

Okay. How about Ted Cruz/Mike Lee? There’s a ticket I would crawl over broken glass to vote for.
