The field of Republicans contending for their presidential nomination does not present grandeur.; in truth, it's a pretty weak roster. Take a look at the top names:
--Jeb Bush (actually John Ellis, btw): lots of money, lots of friends, fading fast. His death knell was the inability to answer the most obvious question a three year old could have predicted. And conservatives now think poorly of his brother for spending too much (doughnut hole anyone?), and for the Iraq nation building fiasco. The dream of another Bush presidency is over.
--Scott Walker: the last guy who claimed that running a small state prepared him for the White House was Jimmy Carter; Walker's experience at solving big domestic problems is too limited. And when it comes to foreign policy, he's still in school in the remedial section. This, in a year when Republicans are concentrating on foreign policy debates because the economy is doing so well. Besides, he's got the raw charisma of a lumberjack.
--Rand Paul: the left loves him; he's their kind of conservative. That is, till they find out that his libertarian views don't only cut against the NSA, but insist that he dismantle the welfare state. Anybody care to repeal the Americans With Disabilities Act, a move he has advocated? Would you trust social security to his presidency?

What?!
Shouldn’t a professor be his own fact checker?
Robert Slayton, Professor of history, Chapman University
http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=734210
I wonder how much of his own writing he actually believes. It’s clear that he doesn’t actually know any Conservatives.
so....a history professor who does not know that Clinton was the Governor of Arkansas?
If he teaches at Chapman then he’s a faculty colleague of Hugh Hewitt.
So no, he does not know any Conservatives.
After 6+ years, $4T increase in National Debt, Doubling of Food Stamp Recipients, Largest % of Non-seeking Unemployed, Regulation Nation and the SLOWEST recovery in modern history and a 2015Q1 of 0.2%?!?!
Is the writer from CO or WA (Pot Smoking?!)
Why aren’t they telling us how great Hillary is, since she’s their pick?
How weak is a field of one?
It looks like he is expounding upon Democrat and Rhino talking points. Nothing new here.
Funny. The real front runner doesn’t even show up in the excerpt.
This guy is trolling, methinks.
(Walker’s experience at solving big domestic problems is too limited.)
ROTFL! That’s a howler! I’m sure he thinks Obama’s experience was better when he ran for President!
“So no, he does not know any Conservatives.”
I see what you did there...
The raw appeal of a lumberjack? Scott Walker is great...are you afraid of a Ted Cruz/Scott Walker ticket, HuffPo?
The HuffPo makes the Onion looks like Time Magazine...
I thought the same thing...
“Jeb Bush (actually John Ellis, btw)”
I did not know that.
