It will be Rubio unless someone from a state house runs an excellent campaign. It probably should be. Rubio has his weaknesses, but he is our generation’s Reagan. I have felt it since the first video he launched in his Senate primary. He has IT, and can inspire the base and pull people to our party. We have not had that for some time. God bless Romney. He far surpassed my expectations, but he couldn’t inspire with conservative values.

As much as many here will not want to admit, we cannot run a hardline immigration message next time. We lost because the issues was demonized to pull hispanics over by a huge number. We have to win over a much larger percentage. I don’t support Rubio for identity politics. I support him for his conservative core. He also has a middle policy on this issue, and we need to find a middle policy. Strong border defense, increased workers visas to deal with people here, and effort to address children. We will see more elections like this if we go hard line. Bush barely got in twice with a lax policy, and we are getting beat with a stronger policy, even though McCain was the leader of the most lax policy on record.

Rubio will definitely be the party guy...no doubt about it. That’s how they work in DC. He’s also a conservative in the core, and I will look to embrace his candidacy for that reason.

Romney lost because he sat back on his heels and let Obama destroy his character and reputation on the Bain attacks and never said a damn word. He should have also hung the Libra massacre around Obama’s neck, but he let him slide.

Romney the RINO lost this on his own. Even with the media against him he could have taken out this worthless piece of cow manure, but let him have a pass. To hell with Romney and the horse he rode in on, and to hell with Rove and the rest of the RINOs who have managed to destroy the conservative wing of the GOP and NOW destroy the Tea Party.

If the GOP does not quit running the “next in line”, they will never again capture the White House.
