They played the same game with McCain, remember?
One way or another, there’s likely to be a woman in the White House in 2017.
Let’s all hope and pray that it is the President’s Wife.
That rules out all but one or two of the GOP candidates. And I'm not thrilled with who that leaves.
Beware that the Oval Office is not the most powerful office in the land as Obama guard dog Fx News would like for everybody to believe.
Correct, it is Congress and the States
Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!
Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency
Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR
No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!
CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!
Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.
Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

I will continue to beat this drum until everyone else catches on, that it is CONGRESS ALLOWING IT
Only military guy so far is Perry.
True. But West would be a good VP.
Be that as it may, America is sick to death of equivocating metrosexual Washingtonian critters. American Sniper being a hit is no fluke, we’ve been girly-manned to death as a nation.
Her missteps ended up hurting McCain’s

I'm trying to forget McCain, but it is hard as I live here now.
I didn’t know that. He just advanced a few spots on my list of choices.
My early call is that the Republicans will have a female and a Hispanic on the ticket.
If the head of the ticket isn’t Cruz or Rubio, Gov. Martinez is a lock for VP.
It’s not who you are it’s what you are, first black,president, first women president I knew this was coming and so did you. America votes with thier a##es
:)
Hey, if Sarah runs, I’ll vote for her.
Isn’t Jebbie an “honorary” Latino due to his wife & kids?
First I think Hillary is toast at this point and second the great American black president experiment is over. America now is looking to get back to a good looking white guy. ie normal.
Based on her writing, I’d say she still is.
Agree. The emotion-voting herd that twice elected Obama hasn’t gone away. In fact, based on demographics, it has grown larger. If it turns out. Hillary wins.
No more novelty POTUS.
