Actually, according to the "turn" system the 2016 nominee has to be either:

1. Rick Santorum-- first runner up in the 2012 primary season or
   
2. Paul Ryan-- vice presidential nominee.

   Either one would be highly acceptable to the conservative base. Christie? Not so much. They sold us Mitt Romney because (1)he fully supported our nominee in 2008 and (2)he at least pretended to like conservatives. Christie failed on (2) and his pre-election photo ops with ObaMao mark him as an abject failure on (1) as well.

"2.Paul Ryan-- vice presidential nominee."

Or Rubio. Perhaps they can have a rock-off air guitar contest or something...

I hope you’re right. I just don’t see the establishment republicans letting it happen as you’ve stated, unfortunately. The alternative is the RINO Bush. I’d rather poke myself in the eye with a soldering iron that vote for another Bush.

Don’t you think the uninformed Republican primary voters would just as soon turn to Jebbie in 2016? He does have the required familiar name.
